Forum: Second Generation Magna TR - TS

Took old roof linning out cleaned it up. Had a quote for $165 to recover it in light brown/Tan. Had a friend who said he knows an old friend who has a trim shop and will do the job for $100. Geee how I wish I paid the $165. First was way wrong colour. I left a sunviser for them to match a CLOSE...

Hi. I feel so disgusting for posting in here :P My g/f's car is a 93' Verada and it's been annoying the hell out of me. Sometimes it'll start and sometimes it won't. You can leave it alone and come back to it in five minutes time and it'll fire up first go. When it does run it'll run fine....

Hey All, Last night on the way upto Macca's my 2g TR 4cyl Auto packed it in. Basically steering went really hard and engine power lost also. I managed to pull her over and had a quick look (it was very dark and didnt have a torch) but i was able to identify that the alternator belt had...

G'day all, hope I could get some help here. Apologies if other threads cover these, but did search a bit and couldn't find any. Took the cylinder head off the other day due to blown head gasket between 1 & 2 cylinders. Gonna have it tested & refurbished, and planning on replacing all other seals...

Hi all. When I got my tr magna, the block had cracked, and come off the front engine mount (got it for free:) as a result of some serious clutch dumping. It still drives fine (except for a now slipping clutch). I was wondering if anyone had tried to replace the astron in a manual for an auto. Has...

anyone know what i might be looking at for a 2.6 litre astron engine fitted ( just a replacement for the stocker) just weighing up options is all :D

So I'm getting an exhaust put on soon. I was thinking of going to this place in Croydon. They offered to do a straight through 2" pipe for $220 (excluding tip). Just wondering people's opinions on the best size exhaust, tip, and price? I was also offered to get a 2.5" cat back exhaust for $260...

Ok Just picked up a "new" KR Verada for my son for his 18th Birthday... Country car- never bingled, no rust, pretty straight (few shopping trolley dings) about 200K klms on the clock. Timing Belt done, stems seals done, Auto "service" done, everything else gone over and fixed if necessary...

Hey all, My 95 TS Magna has starting severely jerking when driving, and stalling at idle. happens when sitting on a steady speed and when accelerating. Had the same problem fixed by mechanic about 2 months ago, maybe less, he said that he cleaned the throttle body and replace (?) idle speed...

does anyone know who is the best for engine reconditioning in perth? apologies if this has been covered, searched threads for an hour and couldn't find. Alternatively does anyone know of someone with a decent motor in wa (DOHC 24V would be great :woot: , but apparently hideously scarce) thanks FYI...

ok like the title states. where do i fill it from. i have a tr 4cly astron II 5 speed which needed some cv's. so i drained the the oil out (from the drain plug at the bottom like in the manual) and pull out the old cv's. put new cv's in but do ya think i can be sure where to put it back in?? no...

Start laughing now - I already know this is a dumb question. Cheers! :D I'm looking after a friend's TR Magna auto for a couple of months; previous to this I've always driven a manual. And yeah, I don't know much about cars. It's a bit of a bomb but it still goes, and he doesn't have any books...

Hey Guys. In my TS SE and KS Xi I have a number of the bulbs out for the illumination of the Defog / Hazard / Antenna Switches and the Dash Clock. I have noticed that they May be a T3 Bulb? Can any one assist in confirming this fact. I failed to find mention of the bulbs in the workshop...

Hi I have brought a TR for my daughter for her first car this group has been helpful in fixing bits on it. Has anyone had problems with the boot leaking??? If so is there something that can be done about it??

Just wondering if the rear bumper on a KR is the same as all the others (TR,TS or KS)?

Hi to all, I have an auto and the shifter seems loose/sloopy. Does anyone know how to fix this???

hi all. I have a 96 TS wagon y721 v6 in auto. I am planning a manual conversion. My question is will the manual box from the 2.6 astron fit the 3.0? probably a stupid question but i have two manual 2.6 sedans lying around that i can source from.

Hi Everyone, My KR Verada has developed the dreaded milkly oil syndrome. Just wondering would it be the head gasket or the heads themselves? The car had been sitting for 6-7 months. Prior to me buying it had blown a water pump (guy said it never overheated and i believe this to a certain...

Good day all. A slight issue Im racking my brain over. I have a V6 TS manual that does not have any pressure in the cooling system. The system does not show any signs of oil in the cooling system or water in the cylinders. Head gasket therefore is fine. Engine does not run overtemp or misfire....
