Forum: Second Generation Magna TR - TS

hey heres a shot of my car before and after i used some "forever black" bumper stuff that i got for only $16, sure its not nearly as good as gettin it sprayed properly but in the while i save up for a spray job it looks heaps better than ugly grey bumpers.

I'm reluctantly trading in my TS for something with more seats. Dealer says he can give me $2000. Am I being ripped off? The car is the following: 1995 TS V6 180,000kms good interior condition, no accidents, good exterior condition. I know it needs new brake pads, and new shocks.

yesterday i got home and realised that my rear left rim had a puncture, didnt realise how long it had been like that. so went to BOREPAIRS? today and dropped it off, they had a look at it, called me, said that i needed a new Nakyang tyre coz its had a huge hole in it and it had come over the lip...

I'm getting ripped off aren't I? I honestly didn't think it would cost $400 for a mechanic to switch the springs on my TR for a lowered set I already own. Also, LPG safety checks, the ones you need to do every ten years. I bought the car this year, the system was installed 13 years ago (I...

I was talking at work the other day and one of my co-workers suggested I get a Magna V6. Hesitant to sell the 2.6, I decided to have a look anyway and came across a 1993 TR V6 for $500. Just been to look at it and noted a few things. - Engine needs a valve job, timing belt snapped a while back...

just got a diamante front bumper for $68. perfect condition with fog lights. told the guy at the wreckers it was from a TR and he said, "oh a magna, give me $68" haha. pictures to come.

Was just flicking through the autobarn catolouge and saw they have the cannons for $69.. i wanna upgrade the muffler mainly cause the one i have now sucks ass and i wouldnt mind a bit of noise... Now are these fairly easy to install? Can the DIY type do it? Or will this set me back more...

Shone a torch on my TS V6 auto cluster and there seems to be another function to the right of the "O/D off" light. It clearly says "Hold". If it ever goes on, what do I hold? lol No, seriously, any idea what it's for? Any TS models with a "hold" function?

This was requested by a member. Firstly, buy a decent quality glue. I used Selleys KWIK GRIP. Next, undo the screws as indicated. At the bottom, and up the side of the door are plastic clips that can just be pulled on to pop out. Then remove the door handle by just slipping it through the hole...

Alright guys, I'm trying to get this damned little panel off, it should'nt be that hard but its kicking my ****. Someone let me know how to either A) get the whole damn lot out or B) get out the blanks. Pic so you know what i mean. (It's where my dash light dimmer is) ...

Hi everyone, Some time during the winter (possibly after rain), the TR developed an interesting issue. At seemingly random intervals but especially in the mornings when cold, you can hear what sounds like water running behind the dashboard on the passenger side. It occurs for a few seconds at...

Hi all, just bought my first car:facejump:, a white 1992 TR Magna 4cyl auto Executive (161,335km). I've taken it to a Mitsubishi dealer for a RWC, and they came back with a long, long list of stuff that needs fixing. Just wondering if you guys could cast an eye over it and let me know if the...

My old 93 magna has been having a few issues as of late: 1. The battery light has been coming on and off in the last few weeks. I've noticed when the battery light is on, the stereo sometimes cuts out then back on as well. Car still starts strong, first time every time. Could this be a battery,...

Ok, I am in need of some urgent help :-( I made note of dizzy alignment before I took the rocker cover off, etc. A mate came around and talked me out of doing the head gasket and try some "Rislone Block seal". This was after I'd removed dizzy, rocker cover, and had the exhaust manifold half...

Hi Folks, One of my housemates has a '94 Magna Executive, with some serious tappet noise going on. Without a workshop manual we don't know what the clearances should be (I haven't actually lifted the rocker cover off, so I'm hoping it's easily adjustable and not shims or hydraulic lifters or...

Hi as stated from above I have a stalling problem with my car. it is a 2.6 with a 5 Speed manual, and it's got one problem, everytime I stop at lights or intersection the car will just not idle, and then when it stops I hear a click from the passenger side footwell, then every now and then it will...

Hey all, I searched, but couldn't find an answer... so sorry if my search skills aren't up to par. I need to know the standard rating of the TS alternator! I've got a workshop manual, but it's back home where I won't be for a couple of weeks! :( Hopefully someone knows it off the top of their...

Hi, new poster here - and a total novice about cars :oopssign: Got a 1995 TS Executive wagon, 2.6l. It idles very low, and whenever it goes below 1000 rpm the engine dies. Cuts out at the lights, cuts out when I'm making a turn or whatever. Very annoying. I've seen a few people with similar...
