Forum: 380 DB Series I - Series III

https://autospeed.com/cms/A_109108/article.html There it is. As much as it pains some to hear it, he raises some good points. The 380 at least had promise when it first came out, now it doesn't even have that. :doubt: Thoughts?

Hi does anyone know how to turn the seatbelt alarm off in a 380? I always wear my seatbelt so do not need an alarm to tell me to do it, plus it is really annoying. I am not suggesting that anyone shouldn't wear their seatbelt, I just want to get rid of an annoying noise that does not help me in...

Can anyone tell me the exact differences between VRX and base model suspension? I've searched these forums and all I can find are vague references to the VRX having a 'tighter' suspension tune, but no specifics. I've read numerous comments that a VRX will run away & hide from a base model on...

Hi 380heads, Wondering if anyone is keen to give me a closer look at the inlet manifold - notably whether the 3.8 shares the plenum of the 3.5 & 3.0. The lower inlet manifold looks remarkably similar to the 3.5s offset one (the 3.0 is different to the 3.5). Keen to see a gasket or otherwise. ...

I've seen a few 2006 ES 380's at the govt. auctions which are fitted with LPG Dual fuel. I've read on the internet that the factory system has no power loss (ie the engine still produces 175kw and drives the same as the petrol model.) Are these LPG systems which I am assuming are factory...

Ladies and Gentleman, After a long interest and much consideration I have now made the jump from my TJ Magna to a 380 Series III SX in Electro. I have been following the 380 threads with great interest as long as they have existed. When I heard of the closure of the factory I was close...

Hi Looking at purchasing another car and was wondering if any reliability issues have surfaced on the 380?. TIA

It's coming up for a mid-service service on the 380 and I'm wondering what oil people are using, or do most people just take it to the dealer and let them put in whatever? What's the recommended type for the 380, 10-40?

Does anyone know if there is a difference in the VRX/GT suspension to the other models? On looks alone the VRX/GT look slightly lower and to my mind are quite firmer than the other models.

Has anyone fitted a heat shield to the underneath of the 90mm intake It almost sits on top of the radiator so heat would be radiating up to the intake (as I found out after fitting the K&N and Burning my wrists multiple times) I may look at wrapping it in heat shield tape but has anyone...
