Forum: Lancer

Hi guys, I discover a hole in the interior of left hand side under the dash board/glove box near the front passenger door. Does anyone know what that hole is for? Cheers.

I have a lancer 2011 sportback (hatch) and i wana put a usb connection in the car but not linked to the cigarette lighter though

Just to annoy the V6 Mitsu crowd: Drove the CJ Lancer to the airport, a round trip of about 60 km. Fuel consumption was 6.3L /100 km on the way up (2 people in car), went up to 6.5 L/ 100 Km on the way back (4 people, luggage for 2). Yes, I could have taken the TJ Magna, but it would have...

We've sold our '07 CJ to our son-a uni student- and replaced it with a new GSR hatch (wife loves it). It replaced his '92 Corolla (great old car) and gives his parents peace-of-mind with all those airbags etc. The '07 has always been dealer serviced, but he probably hasn't the $$ to maintain...

Never have I have any issues removing one but this time it's turning out to be a real bitch. It's a 1999 CE lancer with a 4g94 motor I think. Got my makita btw450 which has loosening capacity up to 450nm and the bolt did not budge. Went to work and borrowed a 1inch square drive air...

Tech question: 1997 Lancer, 1.8L engine, 121,000 km. Threw a CEL after a misfire whilst driving at 60 KPH, CEL went away after a while. The misfire and CEL occur randomly, but only once warmed up. I read on another forum the Lancer can throw a CEL from a misfire, so I changed the spark...

My in-laws have a 2008 VRX which has only done around 50 odd km and the ABS warning light is on (most of the time). I have checked this with the warranty clerk at my local dealer and have been told that this is a "throw away" and replace situation - with a cost for the part of around $2k (plus...

OK, So i'm looking at lowering suspension for my cj lancer... do i go A) coil overs or B) lowered springs help please :)

I'm thinking a CJ. She wants an auto. Budget $7-8k. Is there anything I should look out for? 2.0 or 2.4? Do they get clear coat failure? thanks

This Recall is for the CJ Lancer, same problem as some of the CH models had, light stalk on the steering column can develop corrosion problems and you may have an intermittent problem with headlights, indicators etc going off/not working when you least expect it. Expect a letter in the mail.

Just thought I'd try here for a solution to a problem my parents have with their Lancer. In the last few months, whenever they put water on their windscreen via the water reservoir, a horrid smell fills the car. But it only happens the once, and then if you use the washers again shortly after,...

2004 lancer - manual, of course. Nice car, not mine, wife's shopping trolley. Anyone know how robust the clutch is, how long it will last, and is it a push or pull design? I like the looks of the current sportsback. Might get one when I wear out my two TS magnas. lol

Hi my daughter has a 2001 lancer when it is hot the Tacho, Speedo, Temp and fuel gauges stop working I read a post some where else that said it was the dash computer. I have searched the web but cannot find anything about dash computers for a lancer. Does any one have any info they can share with...

Hi Guys, My LA Lancer is running a 4G54, with twin 45 Webers, extractors and a mild cam. Pistons and head are the factory original. The car's performance is good, without being great. (Maybe a few horses have escaped over the years.) Wondering what the best “bang for buck” engine upgrade might...

The CH Lancer from 2004 has a clutch problem . . . It's being used as a 'loaner' at the moment. Changed the oil and filter yesterday and took it for a bit of a drive, first time in about 15,000 km. Noticed a problem that was evident before has gotten a lot worse. (Speedo is currently at 55,000...

Just bought a 2003 CH lancer ES (poverty pack) 4 speed for the daughter. 117kms - very good condition - timing belt done just before I bought it. Drive's Ok (but doesn't go like my two Magnas ) 1. It came with a single key to be used on the door and ignition - no remotes - can I get remotes for...

Anyone got a spare? lol Registered the Lancer this morning, been sitting for a few months. It will not idle, did ok a few weeks ago. Not to worry, probably the ISC. Got the multimeter out, measured the coils, sure enough, one is open circuit. Not to worry (again) as I have spares. Except the...

Guys, Will Evo 7 wheels fit on a CJ ES? (love these wheels) Both are 5 on 114.3, M12, but are the centre bore and offset compatible? I've seen photos of them on a TS Magna, and photos of CJ GSR wheels on a later Magna, so it seems likely(?) If not, will hubcentric rings be required/available.

Hi everyone, I am facing a no crank issue with my 6A12M converted Lancer. It used to start with this motor so this is not a post conversion issue. I originally suspected it was a starter motor issue and performed the following tests: 1. Checked the voltage of the battery (12.6v) 2. Checked...

380 fellas were talking about converting their keys to flip keys, a while back. Anyone game to try it on their Lancer key? I'm tempted! https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/180845653764?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649
