Hi all, I have a query about the tripmeter function Fuel Range. How long (how many minutes or kilometres) does it take for the car's computer to update the range estimation? What happened is I parked my car at a friend's place who have a quite steep driveway (about 20-30 degree angle I reckon) and...

howdy all.. i put a new set of plugs in the 380 the other day , thought i'd share a couple photos if anyone hasn't seen under the cover before... very straight forward job to get the inlet manifold off.. just need inlet gasket and i used NGK iridium's. ...

Hi, I'm looking at replacing the right front hub on my 380. Anyone done this themselves? skill level? I'm still trying to track down the elusive driveline noise as per my post "humming sound". Wife drives the car 95% of the time but it really annoys me when I do. Centre and left front bearings...

Guys, Noticed this just this morning when I flicked it in to tiptronic and dropped down a gear to overtake..... Car in PARK. All OK. Put car in Reverse, the R AND and the "1" lights light up on the dash. Put car in Drive. D light does not illuminate, the "1" light does. AND Drive around....

Just wanted to let all you 380 drivers know that I have been talking with K-Sport for a while now & with the help of another members photos & measurements, have got to a point where K-Sport will put together some coilovers just for us at what I think is quite a reasonble price. They have...

Looks like it will rev quite a bit harder than the limit we have imposed by our ECU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xrgu146_G20&NR=1

Now that i have 20's installed how much will my speedo be out??? if it's out by heaps where can i get this fixed cheap :) Also whats the automatic transmission oil capacity and engine oil capacity??? info needed for my 06 S2 SX

i was wondering if it would be possible to swap over the multi display screen from a 380 to that of a pajero exceed. Measured it up its the same size so it'll fit but wondering would it actually work. Reason being is the pajero has a compass as part of one of its displays and has alot more colour...

Hi Guys, Just after your opinion on something..... I'm looking at getting a new car but don't wanna get rid of the one I have. (A predicament I am sure many of us have had!) I have been offered stupid money for my 380VRX both here and at dealers so I have decided I will keep it an turn it...

Anyone know if this can be done? And yes, I have searched, couldn't find a single mention of this for a 380. I've had the instrument cluster out, a piece of cake to remove and 'crack open', and the base model black dials are simply a loose piece of plastic. So can that piece of plastic...

Hey, Just had some audio proddy installed the other day. When I drove off, I realized that my speedo sat flat on 0 ! I went back, and after some fiddling around, and checking of connections, it seemed to be back in working order. However, driving home on the freeway, just as I hit 80km/h the...

Just put a deposit on a 380GT. 2005 Model 110k Dark Blue Sweet looking ride, just waiting on them to provide electronic service history, as log books werent there, I think it was a repo. Mainly worried about the timing belt and tranny. Not keen to spend another few grand just after I buy...

Unfortunately when I bought my 380GT it didnt come with the original floormats :(, wondering if anyone knows good floor mats to go with it besides the originals cause I dont really wanna fork out the cash for the originals ones. Cheers EDIT: Dw original ones arnt as expensive as i predicted

Just bought a 380 - 20,000km old S3 VRX. I want to lower it, and the above combo looks just right, but I'm concerned about ride quality. Does the above combination ruin the ride quality, or just tighten it up to more sporty ride? (I'm going to add the adjustable swaybar also) EDIT :...

Took my 380 to Southern Mitsubishi in Brighton Victoria today. Told them I think the headlight is faulty as the clip holding the globe in has popped out (for the second time in 2 years). I asked them to look at it and replace the headlight globes. They work on the car and the bill comes to...

Ok im going to get rims this weekend and from what is availible to me I have narrowed it down to 4 selections. If everyone could leave there opinion of the best out of the 4 it would be great. Rims are as follows: M15 https://i34.tinypic.com/2lnk4ys.jpg Infernos...

My air con fan has decided that it will wait until we have driven down the road before it actually turns on. Once on you can turn it on and off at will, but before it decides it is starting time no swithces do anything. I have checked for loose fuses, and don't believe this is a wiring problem as...

I can't open my Series II boot. The key lock got broken when someone broke in and the other day someone (me) flicked teh white lock switch on the boot lock because it wouldn't close. Now the cable won't open it and because teh lock is broken the key won't go in. Any ideas????

Just wondering what other manual 380 owners are paying for the 75,000k service. It's a fairly basic service, all 'inspect' or 'check', other than the usual replace engine oil & filter. The only exxy extra is replace the MTF. I ask because I just did my own, only took a couple of hours, with...
