Forum: Third Generation Magna TE - TW

Hi, I recently bought a KL verada gtvi with 90,000k on the clock. I have had some little niggles here and there and recently stumbled upon yet another one. There is a rattle that can only be heard when the car is at running temp and seems to be coming from the drivers side of the engine. I think...

Hey, I have a couple of different sets of alloy wheels for my car, and obviously the standard rim flat nuts are not suited (need the ones tapered inside the alloys I am pretty sure?). But none came with any of the wheel nuts. I understand these are 12x1.5mm, does anyone know the cheapest...

Hi, I just replaced the 3 rear platinum plugs on a Magna 2004 TL and have noticed quite a drastic sound change when I accelerate. It sounds more 'throaty' plus there's a slight rattling sound coming from under the bonnet. The rattling can't be good :eek2: Before I head in there and look...

Hey guys browsed the forums already and cannot find the post about how to remove the exterior plastic strips on the doors. I am respraying my TJ and wanted to take off all the plastic first to avoid as much masking and wanted to also touch it up aswell. Any help would be much appreciated

I have a tired old duel fuel TE executive and little to no cash, but was considering getting a newer TF or maybe a VRX or something and swapping the interiors and upgrading the specs on the car...and im wondering how much work is involved is it possible to add ABS from a TF back onto a TE? I...

Hi Everyone, I've got a TE Magna which has a very rough idle. My son's Magna is off to the wreckers soon. Can anyone tell me which parts would be useful to keep, (keeping in mind the rough idle), where they are located and how to remove them? My hubby and son are both good with cars so they...

Hi guys. My VRX spends most weekdays in my driveway without cover and I'm noticing the effect on the highly durable red paint. Can anybody recommend a good car cover from their experience? Cheers

Recently changed tyres on TJ S1 sedan that has been previously (not by me) lowered. Went from 225/50/16 to 215/60/16. (non standard rims) as I was sick of feeling every single leaf, rock and bump in the road. Now, on the passengers side only, the tyre is scrapping against the plastic that forms...

So long story short I was on my way home stopped at a roundabout and the VRX just stalled went to start it and it cranked but no fire so i called mitsi_boi and together we went over everything but after all that it ended up being a 20amp engine fuse in the engine bay, also the TCL and ENGINE light...

Hi folks, For a while my VR-X rear end has been humming, and not to the sound of my sports exhaust. Basically the noise is from the rear wheels. Took it to Mitsubishi thinking it was needing new bearings but they are fine. Went to bob jane who said it was a suspension issue. Had a wheel...

Hey guys, My car is approaching the 200K service. Before spending $1,000+ on this service I want to get the motor checked out. What should I ask for at the mechanics besides a compression test to gauge how healthy the motor is?

Hey I have a TJ VR-X and want to source a set of TL VR-X tail lights as I like the dark tint these have. Do they fit the TJ??? Does anyone have a set? Thanks all

Pretty simple question, I see a lot of 380 owners going for the Berklee BS0655 muffler, but will it fit on a Magna? Mine is a 2001 TJ Sports. My current muffler just recently crapped out and now it sounds awful.

Hi does anyone use Valvoline or Nulon Full Synthetic Auto Trans Fluids SP3 compatible in their Mitsisis would you recommend their use or is it absolutely nessessary to use Mitsubishi Diamond SP3 I have been thinking of using a full synthetic to give longer intervals between changes and maybe...

I'm replacing the power steering fluid in a 1998 TF Magna. Is it OK to use genuine Mitsubishi ATF SP3? Or is a specific Dexron fluid needed? I've searched and the information is conflicting.

Just stumbled upon this page where someone has bored/stroked his 6G74 to be 4.0L https://www2.pajeroclub.com.au/forum/showthread.php?t=38287

Hi guys, How many hours would/should a workshop charge to replace: 1. The front subframe on a KJ 2. The rear subframe on a KJ I've done a search but have not come to any definitive answer as to what is needed. For the rear if using a L/W series subframe besides the rotor to rotor...

Hi guys, My ralliart doesn't overheat as such but I've noticed that the electric fan runs pretty much most of the time at stand still in traffic, at this stage at will climb from half on the gauge to the next notch above this, it then drops back to half...is this normal? Water pump is new and...
