Forum: 380 DB Series I - Series III

Hi all, Haven't posted here in ages but looking for some assistance if anyone can help! I've searched the forum to no avail. I had the small rear driver's side window smashed in an attempted robbery (the really little one behind the main window) and was quoted $500 for replacement. I figured...

Can anyone help with correct length belt that drives alternator and aircon compressor. I have a Gates and don't know whether I bought it for the 380 or for the TJ which I have sold. The Gates belt is Marked K060480 and 6PK1223, but OC (outside circumference) is 1240mm. Looking at OC for...

Hello all. Just after some general feedback on a few things. I have a 2005 Mitsubishi 380 VRX manual transmission which has done 190,000km. It has been a great car and have had it from new. My yellow engine tuning check light on the dash recently switched on. After some diagnostic work I...

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

Hello,a question for the braintrust. A car dented my 380-07 sx LF door,went to local wreckers and he got on his wrecker hotline-link up. He said their are different types,news to me,thought they were all the same. Is it true or is he mistaken. regards and merry xmas,ikiloo.

Hey guys I’m new here but finally have a chance to do something with the old stock standard 2000 tj exec I bought off my mother 2 years ago. She’s owned this car since brand new and it’s a 5 speed and still runs as smooth as the day she bought it. I’ve recently picked another 2002 that’s had all...

My mechanic thinks I'm losing my s#!t. Probably true, but this one I'm confident about. Whenever I'm driving around I can hear this squeak or scrape that comes and goes with the rotation of the wheel. It's consistent with the wheel speed, if I accelerate it speeds up, slow down and it slows with...

Changed my high beam and headlight globes today... well save for the drivers side headlight. Such a bad design - the drivers side has no room to move to get the globe. And as I was removing the globe the spring assembly popped out! Great....:cry: Just spent 1 hour trying to get the spring back...

Hi All, Was wanting to get some thoughts on possibilities for my issues whilst I figure out how to charge the battery as I am unable to get the exact codes nor am I able to do a current draw test against each fuse. From Memory on my google search history: P0700 - TCM Malfunction P1901 -...

Howdy Fellas, I need to send the ECU, ETAC and key reader away to get the ECU fixed as they all need to supplied, How do you remove the ignition switch/ key reader as it looks like you need to dismantle the whole flasher /steering wheel assembly? Cheers

Howdy all, the old steed has been playing up today, it started when idling at the lights, it dropped idle speed and started to misfire, soon after the check engine light come on and was flashing, I tried to limp her home but it started missfiring under part acceleration and had no guts at all while...

Hi all My steering wheel has started to degrade slightly - being a 7 year old car parked in the sun at work. Are there any suggestions for products to clean and protect it? Cheers

Hello fellow 380 owners and enthusiasts, First post, but been an avid reader... enough of the pleasantries, looking for the backing off a 4 button key fob for my 380. Rather not have to pony up the $ for a whole new key and fob etc. If anyone has anything of the sort lying around from a broken...

When the fuel consumption of my previous ride (TJ Magna) increased dramatically I replaced the oxygen sensor and fuel consumption dropped. Fortunately the TJ had only the one sensor, so inexpensive and easy. My current ride (380 GT with 140,000km) fuel consumption increased and I decided to...

Hi guys. I hit a kerb with my left front wheel and also with my left back wheel. No, I wasn't drifting. :) There was a square corner of the kerb sticking out and I hit it. :( Now I have a fairly loud noise on the expressway, above around 100km. It is kind of a hum that rises and falls. You...

Hi all, just want to know if anyone has come across this strange aircon issue with their cars? Basicly my ac intermitantly cuts in and out every so often (compressor chatters on/off very fast), it will work fine some time for 30min and then will cut out no matter what setting its on. I had taken...

Hi guys My 380 will be 5 years old this year. Mitsubishi recommends the timing belt be changed at 100,000kms or 5 years - which ever comes sooner. When my car hits 5 years old it will have travelled about 55,000kms. It is really that important to change the belt based on time rather...

Last week I went to start the 380. It cranked over willingly but will not fire. The NRMA attended and determined that immobiliser and keys are talking fine but no pulse can be seen on the fuel injectors. The car was then trucked to the local Mitsubishi dealership. The dealership...

I have been on the internet and have tried searching on Fastmagna and have not been able to find out what scanner I should get for my 380 GT. Am I correct in saying the connector on the 380 is a 16 pin plug (known as type 21)? Intermittently the car won't start until I floor the accelerator....
