Burning oil smell 03 montero sport
It's most likely the rear cam seals (o-rings) which is a pretty simply DIY, especially on the 3.5L model. The o-ring is only about $5.00 from the dealer (each, you need one for each side).
Is the A/C belt seperate from the alternator
Yes the Air Con pump is driven from a seperate belt which is linked to the belt system for the rest of the engine.
To change it may be a workshop job unless you are skilled and have the manual for any settings you may disturb while fitting the new belt
A workshop should not charge a great deal as it will take a motor mechanic 45 minutes to change it
Horn keeps blowing fuse/shorted out
Removing airbag: disconnect battery for 30 minutes before proceeding -- sounds like you know the rest -- just proceed carefully. If the airbag didn't deploy when you punched it, you're not going to set it off easing it out.
Head lights went off while driving.
There is a Relay for the Headlights and Fuses also. Check under the Hood in the Fuse Relay Box and the Fuse Panel on the Inside. They should be Marked as HL or RHL and LHL. Also just check Really Close for Blown Fuses. Let me know if you need any Further Help. Please Rate my Response, I need all the Help I can get! Thanks!
Fuel filter 2003 Montero Sport
drivers side, underneath the car. look at the line coming from the gas tank, and where the line gets bigger and has a metal cylinder in it, that is your fuel filter. a couple of clamps and you can change that thing out in a matter of minutes, and depending on your medel you may have to remove a metal plate to get to it.

there is a code reader at most auto parts stores, however it's more cost effective to take it to a shop. dealerships are pricey so my advice to you is to take it to an independant shop the cost savings will benefit you
Gauge lights and tail lights
Hi ...... the brake pedal circuit is 'live' even when the ignition is switched off. Its sounds like you have a 'short' between the brake circuits and the rest, my guess would be at the back of the car. Have you had any work done lately ? Or heavy object in the boot/trunk ? Check ither side of the boot/trunk (behind or near rear lights) for chaffed, broken or melted wires. Make up a simple bulb testing lamp, one 12v bulb with a wire on positive and one on negative and place these wires into/on the wires going to your rear lights (neg' to earth) ......... this will tell you if the circuit has power going to it and by going back along the route you'll pinpoint the damaged or problem area. First step is to make sure both rear light clusters have good earthing points.
Let us know how you get on.

How do you remove, clean, and attach an EGR valve in a 2001 montero sport xlsn3.0 V6
The hardest part of this repair is removing the two nuts. Soak them with penetrating oil first. If the nuts loosen stop and remove the vacuum line. Then remove the two nuts and pull off the EGR valve. A 90deg. mini pick and carb cleaner can be gently used to remove carbon buildup in both chambers. Before getting too carried away with cleaning. You should perform a vacuum test. Find out if the diaphragm is intact or leaking. Also see if the plunger moves freely when vacuum is applied. Sometimes the old gasket can be reused but don't count on it. They do break and if so both surfaces will need to be thoroughly scraped and cleaned. Let me know if there is anything else. Good luck.

I changed the radio in my1998 Montero sports do i need a code because it not working
Radio units when disconnected from the battery supply lock as an anti theft feature.
New units are usually supplied with the code in the paperwork it came with. With a used unit you will need the serial number marked on the side or the back of the radio. You can use this to find the code on lots of specialist websites.
Try more than one as some will charge for the service and others don't.
