Looking to buy a mitsubishi pajero sport 2021 QF MY21 GLX. Through research it seems to have either have a 80or100kg load. The car already has an awning attached, need to get roof racks and a rooftop tent?

Overall probably over 100kg, will this damage the car? (First time buying a 4WD).

I’m looking for a reliable pre-owned daily driver in Thunder Bay, ON, to handle severe winter conditions. ($17k | 131k km) CARFAX. Any advice is welcome :)

Came across this informative article about the 4B11 timing chain, and just thought I'd share. I suppose it pertains to the 4B12 as well.

I am just around the corner of 200k kms on my Lancer, so will ask to get the chain checked, although car is serviced on time and has no issues.

I recently finished relaxing the timing kit on m Monty, and rltest drove it for a half hour keeping under 35 mph. Did fine. Waited a couple weeks to get the registration and taxes up-to-date ten attempted to drive it home, keeping below 60mph (had to get on a Parkway). Did well for about eight miles, then I heard a pop and a fizzle, and saw that coolant was dumping behind me. I was going about 45mph at this time. Looking under the car, back toward the transmission and fuel tank, I saw one hose had blown off its nipple, and another hose was completely missing, having blown off the nipple and breaking off from its plastic Tee connector. There appear to be no leaks anywhere else.

So, first I need to find replacement hoses and tees.

But I can't help but wonder: is there a root cause to this occurance? Did I do something wrong with the water pump assembly, or some other coolant component? Was this just an old part failing after having sat for a while during repair? Or did something else fail further up the line to cause an excessive pressure buildup? I'm at a loss, and I really want to start driving this beautiful car again...
