M8 I hear Roothy is test driving an automatic Mahindra 4 x 4. The Ballarat dealer I was talking to, stated Mahindra has hinted the auto version may be here as soon as Oct Nov. It is the same 6 speed auto used in Toyota and D Max 4 x 4's . Just for your info and any viewers like me who is waiting for the automatic version.
@@grahamharris4wdadventures53 in June 22 they are launching the next generation Scorpio in India. generation update (after 20 years). Bigger ,taller and longer. Expecting it to be durable as well.
@@grahamharris4wdadventures53 I heard it will have available two options for engine. The old one and a new one with 182.38bhp@3500rpm 450Nm@1750-2800rpm.
G'day mate. 3.5 inch stainless steel snorkel in to the original machine air box. Can get up to 30 degrees cooler air then factory. And 2.5 - 3 inch exhaust from DPF back. Both give it more torque and better fuel economy. Thanks for watching 👍
@@grahamharris4wdadventures53 Awesome, few more questions.. I seem to be finding conflicting reports on PCD 5x114 or 5x160.. Looking at get some sunrasias with KO2's or similar if they have the right PCD for them? What toolbox is that on the back? Just planning ahead as I've hopefully got mine coming in the next week or 2 and want to add a few bits
Mahindra's magic self healing ability. Mine had a weird clicking noise when ever I hit the brakes slightly hard enough for the rear brakes to engage with some force , had a lot of rain storms this week in Pretoria and magic the sounds gone. I have the SUV so I do not know if I'm going to have the center bearing gone on me as well but otherwise good luck man.
G'day mate. Yeah it's one of those things that stays in the back of your mind. I'm always driving with the windows down now listening to every sound. Lol. Thanks for watching 👍
Thanks mate. Yeah didn't actually expect to catch much because of school holidays. To many boats flying around the creek. We will get out to a local camping spot soon after the holidays. Hopefully we will get a feed then. 👍
I had a vibration in mine Saturday after a run in the bush but we think that one of the front hubs might not. Have disengaged properly because the next time I went to drive it the vibration had gone
G'day mate. I do know with these types of 4x4 systems get bound up when driving. You have to put them in reverse and drive backwards a couple of metres to unbind the drive line once you have taken it out of 4x4. You will hear a click noise when it disengages. Thanks for watching mate👍
Hi graham good to see the noise has gone I bet your feeling happier now nice video keep up the good work
Thanks mate. Yeah I would still like to have known what it was and if it will let me down when I don't want it to. But so far so good.

Yeah I found out about it a while ago, but wasn't allowed to mention it. Should be sold out before it gets here I reckon.

Cool, any idea if the engine is the same?

Nice. I can't wait to see it.😀
Just curious what snorkel setup you're running and what exhaust setup? Made much difference?

The toolbox is from bunnings and has my 12 volt system in it. The offset is 5x160, and very hard to find with a negative dish.
Living the dream, good on ya!
My dream needs more fish in it🤣. Thanks for watching mate 👍
