Forum: 380 DB Series I - Series III

Looking in todays newspapers Northside of brisbane, there are 05 plated brand new manual 380's going for $29990. A nice little discount, I'd consider it if I did'nt just get a TL VRX.

I just found out from a Mitsubishi dealer today that there is a $5000 factory bonus on all 2005-plated 380's! Didn't the Mitsubishi Australia CEO just pledge last month never to discount their cars? Then they released the 380 Limited Edition for $29,990+ORC, which is already a $5000 discount +...

Mitsubishi workers are being forced to get out to local shopping centres and other commuter areas and be a face for the Company to promote the 380 when production is put on hold next month, all workers will be paid in March when, for most of the month, no cars will be produced. Despite a halt in...

Just looking on the internet and came across an article relating to the relationship between Mitsubishi (Australia) and Proton (Malaysia) and the likely hood of the deal which would see a Proton version of the Australian derived 380 sold in Malaysia. If the deal goes ahead it could see as many as...

Has anyone else noticed this blurb on most of the articles about the 380? I have seen this term "dowdy old Magna" enough times to suggest this is a term Mitsubishi is using to downgrade the Magna in Favor of the 380. If so this will effect the re-sale value of the current Magna series and will...

Tenneco who supply MMAL with Monroe Wylie Shocks & Walker exhausts for 380 and others to off load 70 :cry: odd jobs due to poor sales.

Found this on the internet. I take it is the launch of the 380 in "Brunei Darussalam" which is the location of GHK Motors. Just wanting to know if this is an official launch and are MMAL actually exporting the car their? I hadn't heard anything about it thats why I'm curious about it. Links:...

I just bought a 2006 platinum VRX for my dad. It has 115000km and has the sunroof and bluetooth. No dents, no rust, great paint and full service history. Does have a few scrapes that can be touched up and a smashed drivers mirror (replacement coming from Mal). winning bidder on eBay refused to go...

Recently on a private road I did a few run throughs to time 0-100 figures in my 380. Best time was 7 seconds flat, all ranged from 7 to 7.1 seconds. Mine is a series 3 SX with larger airbox intake and K&N filter mods performed. Anyone else timed their 0-100? If so, what were your results?

Just curious if anyone has timed their 0-100km/h on their stock / modded 380 and have any results. I did it to my stock 380 on the weekend n got 8.3 as an average... i think its a little slow though. Any thoughts:think: ??

I have added mits-fix to my files for future reference. Thank you for the info. I have just been quoted $1100.00 to: Supply &change transmission fluid supply and fit timing belt, seals, tensioner etc supply and fit rear window regulator supply and fit platinum spark plugs I know that the work...

Just had the 105 thousand km service done. I waited for this service to do the T/Belt and Platium plugs (6). Lucky i have a good mechanic as it came in under $1000.00. Dealers are charging over $1300.00. I guess that is why the book states to do the T/Belt and plugs anywhere between 90 and 105...

Hi All, my 2005 380 VRX is up for a 110K service. besides the engine oil and folter change, does anyone know what else is involved with this service? Also, does anyone have some rough guesstimates as to a new timing/cam belt change?

how do you get to the 12 volt power plug in the dash to change it? as usual mine is dead, and both front windows don't work now either ! died at the same time

Hi Folks, Sorry for this, I'm absolutely sure it's already been posted somewhere, but I can't find it :stoopid:: Where is the bet place to tap into the 12 volt and accessory power supply for some pillar mount gauges? Cheers, RG

Could someone tell me which fuse is the cigarette lighter? It seems I have no power to it. Regards Shayne

Hey, The power outlet in the centre console of my DB ES limited is not working! I thought it might be a fuse, so I checked under the hood and there is one fuse missing with the symbol 'A/T'. Does anyone know if this is the fuse that is responsible for the power outlet? If not, which one is the...

Hi all I am thinking about mounting LED strips along the bottom edge of my headlights to operate as DRL's. I'd like to have these come on when the key is at ACC. Is there a suitable wire I can tap in to in order to power these DRL's?
