Forum: Third Generation Magna TE - TW

G'day guys, Purchased a steering wheel off another member here for quite good money. Was labeled as being a VRX Limited Edition wheel. For those who aren't familiar with these wheels, they are the same as the MOMO ralliart wheels; but have silver handles as opposed to the ralliart red. Now...

One of the perks of my line of work is occasionally there's a stash of parts that just aren't worth going to the trouble of selling, and you're able to pick up a few things here and there. Recently we've had 2 boxes of Motor Trend oil filters made available. They're Z456s, filters for the 3.0 and...

My brother was telling me in the new magna's .. they have a DOHC 3.5lt V6.. does this sound right?? if you know could you please reply..:):) cheers guys

The last couple of days, I've noticed a mild "pop" sound, like a mild mis-fire coming from the engine/exhaust at low speeds, and it only seems to happen after I've just gone around a corner or a round-about. As I accelerate out of the corner in second gear, I can hear a single 'pop' sound. In...

Well, as the title suggests - I managed to round off one of my wheel nuts on Saturday morning while attempting to swap the wheels over on my two TJ's (I ****ing hate tyre places that use rattle guns :rant: ). I managed to get two places to take a look at it on the day - both of them tried, to no...

I was just reading a bit in the service manual of my TL magna under the warranty claus that if you drive your car in constant stop start conditions, if the car is constantly idleing, if 50% of your driving is in heaving traffic or if 50% of your driving is on dirt roads then the car is classed as...

Anyone know what the likely problem is when you get smoke coming out of the air con? There's no smoke in the engine bay and it doesn't smell of much - my guess is that it's air con fluid evaporating somewhen in the system. Only does it when cooling, not when heating. For info it's a 2002...

*open book* Ok, the time has come that I found a verada i like, i had a look at it tonight adn a drive, now everything to my untrained eye seemed fine. As I gather my finances and head back for a "wheel and deal" meeting with the buyer, what would you guys suggest i look out for? Are there any...

I've recently noticed that my 2002 TJII auto exec makes an extremely strange sound immediately after killing the engine. If I have my window down, I can hear a sound like air being 'sucked' quickly for less than a second. Sort of like a "SHHHWOOOOMMP" sound. Kinda sounds to me like air...

Hey team, I've noticed that the intersection of the exhaust from the two banks intersect at right angles (a "T" section). Surely this is a crap design! I can't afford headers yet (married, two kids, you know how it goes) but does anybody know if it would do any good getting the junction...

Hi Guys My Traction Control OFF light is flashing on and off every second or so. Not the green one that flashes when your traction control engages as you're loosing traction, but the orange one which usually lights up when you turn the TCL off. If I turn the TCL off then the orange TCL OFF light...

Hi, I have an '02 series 2 TJ Magna auto sedan with 145K on the clock. Recently, when I start the vehicle in 'P', it starts immediately, runs for a second and stops. This happened 6 times in a row. Because I was away from home, I tried to start car in 'N'. It started and ran fine and I drove...

Where abouts are the jacking points for the car located? I've looked in the repair manual but I can't find the location on the actual car that matches the diagram. Cheers guys :happy:

Hi everyone, New here, But I have read some forum posts about air intake for the TJ (T/K Magna, Just a magna with a few verada blingy things on it) But I was possibly thinking about upgrading the air intake, ...

Hi all first post :) Just bought me a TJ L.E for $3k in great nick with 205k on the clock and loving it. Because its the limited edition does it mean I've got the Advance with extra Verada spec? Its got full leather interior, Tiptronic, 16" alloys and spoiler on the back. However its also got a...

Good morning all, have a new puzzle for this Sunday morning. Picked up tue wife's new '02 TJ wagon yesterday, all is good (needs a few cosmetic things). Today we were driving down to the shops when we hear a "whistle" coming from the rear of the car. Now to me so far it sounds like it's coming...

Hi guys Experienced a rather unnerving problem about an hour or so ago at startup. I started my car and all went as usual and as my revs started settling down (as they do on warm startup after the intital hignher revs) and then it just died clean in the ar$e, no shudder, no noise,...
