Forum: 380 DB Series I - Series III

Been having an issue with the 380 and need to get it sorted.. on Starting, it fires OK.. Revs rise with autochoke* but then the issues start. Revs drop to almost stalling on a splutter. Coughs etc.. Immediate CEL Thrown... If driving when this happens it surges through the trans and chugs the...

I had the head lining replaced last weekend, finally. It only took 6 months to get around to it. The only negative - apart from the fumes for the next 24 hours - seems to be that now the interior lights don't go off when i'm driving. They time out when i exit the car, but there's no way to shut...

My 2005 LX was parked today and some old clown in his work Hilux reversed into it, parking the tray a couple of feet up the hood. Pictures attached - Looks worse IRL - hood is quite bent out of shape. I got all his details. I have RACQ comprehensive insurance, never had to make a claim before. I...

Gday, My 380 headlight/ indicator stalk works fine other than not cancelling properly on anything short of a u turn, is it the stalk itself or is it controlled by a pin on the steering column? Cheers

Hi friends! From the title of the thread is clear about what will be discussed. At the moment there is a spare 4G69 engine. With this engine I'm conducting different experiments. It will also be a great and interesting topic. Probably a couple of months. When I get results. For this project, I try...

hello long time since posted any thing on here .what info i was after is the torque specs for the inlet manifold and plugs if anyone can help would be great regards jamie

Ok I own 2 Mitsubishi 380's. Both cars are series 2 SX models & both have traveled around 140000 kilometres, one without faults and the other constantly plaguing me with issuesthe. The latter has now developed a new fault. I was drivin on the highway when I ran out of Lpg (yes both are dual fuel...

Anyone know what I need or where I can buy 600+cc injectors from ?

My 2006 380 has a issue with the transmission control unit. 2 different mechanics have had a look, one being mitsubbishi them selves. Mitsubishi ordered a new TCU as the diagnositic showed this to be the error. The new TCU did nothing and the problem is still there. So backround on the...

Does the basic 2006 DB have dash tweeters? Has grills on either end of dash. Do they just pull off with clips? Can't really tell if treble is coming from there or not.

Hi all, A while ago, I managed to score a set of leather seats from a wrecked GT. They bolted straight into the SX, no problem. The issue is, the wiring loom in the SX seems to be missing a connector that leads to the seat memory control unit on the GT seat rails. This obviously means that none...

Howdy, Anyone in the know or have the manual on how to adjust the 380`s headlights up and down? I see two white screws on the headlight housing (one high up and one lower) but not sure which one is horizontal and which one is vertical Cheers

Wanting to install some reversing sensors soon on my 380 Has anyone done one themselves? Does the rear bumper have to come off? any issues with supports behind the bumper etc. And any tips? Used the search but not a lot of info anywhere..

Hi folks. Finally bought my own 380 after having found a few for familiar members needing affordable reliable transport. Got mine cheap. Has the typical rear window regulator needing replacement. Easy, done that before. Missing battery clamp - technically defectable. Have to find one of...

Hi guys This morning my GT struggled the first time to start. Second time made buzzing sound but still didnt take. Third time started. Now engine light is on. Still under warranty guess I'll be paying Mitsu a visit. That could the issue be & how do you turn the engine light off? Thanks guys.

I currently have a 380 sx. I brought this car already lowerd with low springs, is there anyone in sydney wanting to swap me normal springs for these. I dont really like it that low.

I have to ask as I can only see two of the three strut top bolts in the boot. How the heck do you get the rear shock out? Just to clarify, I'm not actually replacing my shocks/springs. I'm just curious how to get them out. The factory manual is pretty vague about how to get to the strut top...

What good options are there for adding auxilliary input (my ipod), or bluetooth, for music? Reading on these forums it sounds like there aren't any good ones (that won't cost a mint). Replacing the head unit (which I'm reluctant to do) disables the little screen, and from what I've seen bluetooth...

Hi Guys and Gals, Picked up a '07 380 Series 3 ES with 88,000km on the clock the other day. Thought I'd got away trouble free when only 1000km in I ran into some problems. Skip to the bottom for the question. Long story short here's what’s been done: - New LF light assembly (stone through...

Hi all, Driving home today and the oil pressure light started to come on intermittently. First appeared as I slowed out of 110km zone into an 80. Disappeared when I went up a rise at 80km/h and came back on on the flat. Also went away on a right hand bend. Now I'm thinking the oil level must be...
