Forum: 380 DB Series I - Series III

Hey everyone, I'm just checking to see if any other owners out there have had any expensive failures or services within the ownership period from 100,000 kms to 200,000 kms. I know its based off alot of different factors from previous owners, to how the car is maintained now, etc. But I'm...

So for the last few weeks my car has struggled with starting in the morning and after work, basically when it is stone cold. The engine fires and starts first go however the starter used to fire 2-3 times and the engine would fire up, now it seems to fire maybe 5-6 times then the engine starts,...

When it rains the driver's side headlamp of my 2005 GT clouds over badly with moisture. Never had this happen to LHS headlamp. It eventually clears when I remove the cover and bulb for a few days. I have checked and can't see any reason for moisture getting in. Am i missing something? Cheers

See picture. https://i.imgur.com/s2xuS8H.jpg Found this while rotating my tyres. Odd pattern right? Is this heat, or dead rotors? Aside from the discoloration there's no lip and they're within spec as far as thickness goes. Pattern exists on front rotors only. Discoloration exists on all...

I was turning into a parking spot in the local supermarket yesterday. The wheel was turned around to the right but not hard against the stops and i was just rolling into a spot and there was a very noticeable shudder/judder/shimmy/shake...... Has anyone else had this before? Very low speed -...

Anyone know the best led white light to use for parkers, current ones i do have are very weak and dont light up much

Hi, I have a 2006 S2 VRX which has started to randomly lock itself. Even when driving the car will lock all 4 doors and you can hear it sometimes try repeatedly to lock. Any ideas where to start looking? I have tried both keys and with new batteries in both but don't think it is the key.

hey, i have a 380 vex and its having to stand outside ATM , we have had some heavy rain up here in cairns lately and yesterday i noticed both headlamps were wet on inside of glass ! do i just leave them and wait for the heat to dry them out ? any suggestions helpful thanks

The exterior of my 380 has been going downhill in recent years. The clear coat is peeling in a few areas, there are lots of scratches and there are swirls everywhere from the occasional automatic car wash. It hasn't had a wax in years -the paint is dull and most of the time the car is filthy! ...

I did this mod today. This is to reduce the throw, back and forth only, in the manual 380 gear lever. It wasn't an easy mod one handed, I recommend you use both hands if you have them. The results are as advertised - reduced throw - at the cost of having a much heavier action. Eat your...

Mates told me that on one side at the rear I had no reverse or tail lights, so I replaced them and the reverse is fine but no joy with the tail/brake light. Is there anything I could check or is this a known problem maybe?

Hey guys just wondering if you can put those gt tail lights on the vrx without the boot lid lip so there would be just the lip of the lights , they would probably fit just not sure it there's the possibility of water entering, if anyone had a photo Or has done it please post or let me know, regards...

Okay i need some help on taking the 380 interior light covers off to place some nice white leds in, unsure how complicated or tricky this process will be so if anyone can give me a link or post images how to do it ill greatly appreciate it.

Hi guys just in the middle of fitting a new timing belt,I'm at the stage of removing the bolt that holds the crankshaft pulley on, it's being a real pig to undo ! I have tried a super cheap auto cheap or rattle gun with no luck and now a friend has lent me a cordless metabo rattle gun , still won't...
