Hello just wondering if anyone in Ipswich wanna help with Amp install into my KJ verada ? Can shout cold drinks for help or a 6pack ?

Hi guys, The engine on my KJ2 has started randomly turning off. The occurrence rate has increase in the past week. It basically turns off as if I took the key out. It turns straight back on when I restart it. It does so while driving at times, where it completely loses all power and...

Just came across this lovely old TF from 1998 with only 54000kms..! Worth every cent of the $3750 asking price by the looks of it. https://www.carsales.com.au/cars/details/1998-Mitsubishi-Magna-Executive-TF-Auto/OAG-AD-17374492?pageSource=details&id=OAG-AD-17374492

My 2000 kj verada ei with cruise control and TCL. One day after I disconnected the battery and reconnected it, the car when started sits at 2000rpm when in park or neutral once in drive and reverse drops to 800 without hesation (sometimes dips really low then up to 800). I've checked fuses, done...

I bought a Timing belt kit (tensioner & water pump) for a 2001 Magna /Verada. Have recently purchased a 2004 KL Verada GTVi. I was going to put the kit in the Verada. When i checked the online store i bought it from says its not compatible. It say's the 2004 VRX is though, aren't they all the same...

Hi all, my KL Verada is starting to rattle bad on a cold start up, the rattle goes away after about 30 seconds, is this the timing belt tensioner on its way out? the car has done 170,000 ks, cheers

I have a little play in the steering. In my old Subarus you could adjust the gap between the rack and pinion gear by tightening a large nut. I cannot see this feature for the Magna (TH) in my manual. Can it be done? Thank you

Hi all, I'm just wondering what the fail rate might be of the wave spring in the TL/KL Magna/ Verada's 5 speed auto's. My KL Verada's wave spring was broken at 98,000 k's, I'm looking at another KL but I'm worried about dreaded wave spring problem, is it common for them to go in the 5 speed auto...

What's the quickest way to get the ECU to relearn to idle up when switching the A/C on after a battery change/disconnection?

My cable came today but I can't read the ECU for some reason. Have tried on three cars, two KJ's and a TJ with series2 KJ ECU.... Have tried with two different laptops win10 and win7. Have EcuFlash set on 2001-2005 Mitsubishi ALL 3rd Gen/EVO7-8 MH8206F Heres the log file:

Well, I'm in the middle of selling my beloved KH and its painful. The day has finally come when I have to let go of it. I'm just not using two cars and havent been for the past couple of years. The other day I went to drive the KL but the battery was flat because I havent driven it in several...

I have a TW Wagon that I replaced the front swaybar mount bushes thinking it would solve the scrunching sound (cross between a crunch and a squelch) when going over speed humps etc. It still persists so I was wondering what bushing or part of the suspension makes the sound? cheers

It's a comedy of errors that'll get sympathy from some old codgers like me. The 7 pin plug was getting to the end of it's life after eighteen years; we'd had it fitted with a tow bar when we bought the car new in 2001. I get down, not so easy nowadays, take off the old plug, fit the new one... no...

Venerable Magna experts, I am in need of your wisdom and knowledge. My '99 TH 3L MT (6J72) is running like a dog. For a few weeks the car would idle a little low, be missing at low revs which would disappear at higher revs. Then one day this week it all but died. When I unplug the AFS it idles a...

Hi all. Long time since I've been on here. I've trawled through threads but wondered if anyone has a clue what's going on. It's now used mainly for short trips and I understand it'll use a bit more, but it's up around 17+ Litres per 100K's. Even on a nice steady 200K run, it was still around 10 or...

Hi all, I spoke to a transmission guy today about replacing the wave spring in my KL Verada, I found a piece of wave spring when I changed the ATF on the weekend, he quoted me $1800 as he said the gearbox has to come out and be dismantled, my gearbox is still working fine and a lot better since I...

Does anyone know if theres any issue with using a different brand of ATF than whats in there to refill the transmission? If you do a drain and fill theres probably a couple of litres of the old fluid still in the torque converter and then you add the the new ATF to that. Could be that after a...

I have to say this Mitsubishi forum is one of the greatest sites ever. I did a full flush on my transmission this weekend following the advice from this site. I flushed it with Penrite full syn and it runs so much better. I had been told the transmission was on it's way out because it was...

Hi everyone, I use Phillips xtreme vision (or something along those lines) but they keep blowing. Has anyone used LED bulbs? I know some are overly bright and cannot be used in cars without projectors, but there must be some LED bulbs specific for a retrofit that aren't too bright?
