Hi guys I have a 2000 Verada thats has a hole in the exhaust somewhere. Just wondering what ppls advice is as to replacement standard or aftermarket?

Hi everyone, I am missing fuse G and E from my engine fuse box (2002 TJ) and I'm not sure what they are and whether I actually need them. One has a fan symbol and one is possibly fog lights but not 100% sure. I'm also unsure about what to replace them with as I don't know a lot about car...

My '01 Solara has developed a strange ilding problem. When it's cold it won't idle at all until it's been running for a couple of minutes. Then, perversely, when it's hot it often idles up to 2,000 a 2,500 revs... My mechanic has tried everything and were stumped... Needless to,say it's a bit...

Other than checking/replacing the actual PCV valve, is there anything else that needs checking? ie, leaks in the hoses, blockages? Is there just the one PCV valve? And if once the PCV valve is plugged with the car running you can feel the spring actuate, does this mean the valve is operating...

Hi, I'm new to the forums and need some help. I have a 97 TF Magna Executive Sedan (1st Mitsubishi I've owned) Brought it last Saturday off a lady who sat it in the shed 4 years ago because she had 3 other cars. It has always been serviced and well looked after, was service just prior to...

sorry, I seem to have sent this post to the wrong section.

Hi, this ones the wifes TJ, 3.5l V6, auto, 285,000Km. Has a "flat spot" every now and again, can be at crawling pace driving in the backyard or when you go to pass at highway speeds, just dies for a second then picks up again, sometimes if your going slow it will stall. Does it about once or twice...

My current car is a KF Ei. The shell is in pristine condition, infact the entire car including engine is so I won't be doing a conversion in the immediate future. It's only just had the major service, however i'm putting K's on it quite fast and was quoted approx $1600 if a 380 appears in the...

Hey guys, Just noticed my engine has a very loud ticking noise coming from the engine bay till the cars warms up. It usually has a "quiet" tick when cold but noticed it was pretty loud when i started it up and could hear it when driving down the street.... Any idea what could be the...

Only days ago I replaced my sway bar D bushes and links, front of and rear. In regards to bushes, I used SuperPro 22mm at the front and Whiteline 20mm heavy duty (including new saddles) at the rear. I am now planning to replace all of the rear suspension bushings. I'll do the front at a later...

Hi everybody, I have just purchased a 2002 TJ magna and can't work out which specific model it is. It has the triptronic auto, in dash disolay, NO climate control (just standard), has series 2 on the back and a 3.5l v6 engine. The seats are comfy (I think they are the sports ones). And it does...

I'm sorry if this question is a DUH! but my quick search didn't give an answer. I have December 2001 TJ Sportswagon with the 5 speed gearbox which is due for a gearbox flush and charge. As I understand it from the internet the fluid is fairly specific, Penrite have mineral & Synthetic ...

Hi folks, my TL had an issue. Engine temperature is unusually high. It is not in the red zone yet but I never seen the gauge shoots up to 80%. I pop open the bonnet and saw the 2 thermal fans are running as hard as they can but temperature still at 75%. When I rev the engine around 1300 rpm and the...

I put my KJ2 into storage since the beginning of December last year. Next week I'll be starting it. Any "procedures" to do, or just turn the key and drive off (hopefully)?

Hey guys, long time reader, first time poster :) I have a 1997 TE Magna, recently tuned and 47000km on the clock. I have a strange phenomenon occuring (well, it's strange to me anyway) which never happened with my 2000 TJ. I have noticed when I am going downhill, even while braking, the...

Hello all, Thought I would start a thread to ask for any recommendations for a race engine to be built for speedway, as it seems many of you may have had experiences with the following (instead of myself just race off and pay at a performance shop, actually get some advice on what works etc...

Ok, I've tried the search function to see if anyone has posted anything like this, but couldn't find any results. If anyone is after an MMC badge, try this site.

Hi all. I hope someone is able to guide me in the right direction. My wife's TE has an battery warning light that's staying on and I have no clue why. Basically, the car was being driven one day, then all of a sudden the tacho, speedo switched off (like if you turned the ignition off) and the car...

Hi all, I want to change my transmission and do it via removing the engine & transmission together. I will be using an engine crane with a leveling device/dohickey. I know many remove the engine & transmission by dropping a bit first and twisting it around with the transmission facing the...
