NM Pajero transmission light
It's impossible to say that it will occur at increasing frequency, but the vehicle is now getting towards the end of its useful life when things are more likely to fail. I would consult a mechanic experienced in four-wheel drives and have them diagnose the problem for you.
Ask Smithy Xtra timing belt replacement
If you removed the tensioner pulley when you replaced the belt I would guess you didn’t set it up correctly when you reinstalled it and the belt was loose as a result, and has jumped a tooth when you revved it. Check the belt again and make sure the tensioner is installed correctly and the belt is tensioned. While I think that could be the explanation it is also possible that the wire to the crank angle sensor has broken.
Mitsubishi Pajero 2000: Excessive oil use
They are prone to using oil because of worn valve stem seals, so I would have a mechanic check that.
