Forum: Second Generation Magna TR - TS

Hi Guys, I have a TS sedan 1994. The FM radio reception is fine until I start the car. I want to check the ground wire however I am stuck on how to get access to the radio for removal. If someone has the knowledge on how to remove the radio it would be greatly appreciated.

What is everyone's average km's per tank? I drive a manual 1994 Magna V6 Executive and it does about 450km per tank when I'm gentle on accelerations and all that jargon... it seems a bit thirsty to me so just curios as to what everyone else's fuel consumption's are?

Hi my magna tr efi manual 4 cylinder 2.5 wagon is overheating. I have noticed that the overflow bottle is almost full of water and if I fill the radiator it only takes about what the overflow bottle contains. According to the manual the bottle is only supposed to be 1/4 - 1/3 full so it looks...

I have a full tank of fuel and need to replace the petrol pump in my wagon. I thought I could syphon off the fuel, but can't get my hose into the tank. Is there another way to empty the tank? I was thinking perhaps via the schrader valve. Does the pump work when the ignition is switched on, or...

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, son just got given a "new" work car, a 4cyl TR manual sedan ~230,000Km. It jumps out of 5th gear while your driving. I had the same problem with a V6 manual Wagon at work years ago, it eventually spat bits out the bottom. The dealer said at the time that a nut that holds 5th gear on comes...

I know, that's a pretty serious title to hold, and I dare say mine isn't. Without a doubt though, it would be coming somewhat close. https://i.imgur.com/49tsiYO.jpg https://i.imgur.com/XgFQynQ.jpg This was listed for $500. After it failed to sell, I picked it up for the cost of towing -...

Just wondering what everyone else's tachos are reading? My '91 SE has 167,000 km's on it :)

My KS Verada at 260,000 km seems to be developing a misfire, cured by changing the plugs about every 4-6 months. Easy on the front bank, not so on the rear. Plugs come out looking newish, with lumps of carbon / oil(?) on them. Anyone had experience keeping these engines alive as the km creep up ...

Can anyone point me in the right direction to purchase new TS Magna weather strip. Cheers Matt

My TS V6 wagon (230,000km) has been costing me a bit of late. New tie rod, new exhaust system and now the left drive shaft has shat itself. The motor still runs well...a bit of valve clatter on start up but otherwise smooth and responsive. She's been a faithful beast...going to the shops and...

Ok, TS, 2.6l EFI, got around 365,000Km, had been serviced by the local Mitsu dealer most of it's life. Since aquiring it it has had an oil change and filter (20W50 HX3 Shell). What it does is rattle at idle VERY noticable, but dissapears if you hold it at a steady throttle opening. Has recently...

Hi everyone, I'm new here, I've got an issue with my TR Magna (Auto) I bought a couple of weeks ago. Basically when I'm driving and the revs are around 2,500-3000 my car starts jolting and the acceleration is all jerky, it's very noticeable when O/D is off but when it's on I barely notice it...

I need to replace the front lower control arms (ball joint) on my TS v6 manual wagon soon, as well as replace the wheel hub (bearings shot). A friend has a dead KE verada 3.5lt auto. Can I use his car for donor parts?

Hey guys, I recently got a split in my top radiator hose just next to the clamp at the thermostat housing end. I took off the entire hose and cut it shorter then reattached in order to get myself moving to get a new hose (yeah probably not clever). After driving for a good half hour and going...

Well we have finally given up on trying to keep out TR magna on the road. After many many new parts we finally had it running great and now the automatic transmission has given up. It wont go into any gear once the transmission warms up. Too costly to fix :( Can anyone tell me the best place to...

Hi after 6 months on the road the clutch started playing up so I bled the system and it was ok for a few weeks. I had replaced the slave cylinder during the clutch replacement saga. So then I bled it again and it was okay for a few days and then needed doing again. This time it only lasted a...

why does my battery sometimes go flat in the rain? About 6 weeks ago I went on a 50k round trip. When I left it was raining, I got home unloaded the car and went in. Next morning the battery was flat as a pancake. Yesterday I did the same trip. Today I went about 1k to the shops. It was...

Hi All Could someone please give me the exact location of the knock sensor for this model.. There is a sort of a horizontal piece projecting from the inlet manifold located between the distributor and the end fuel injector...There is a sensor projecting vertically from this, with one spade...

Hi guys my nan has a 1995 ts exec, and recently her car requires an occasional jump start even though the battery is charged, her mechanic said it's a common problem with these cars and he wasn't able to fix it, so I thought you people with experience might know the fix She's 77 and can't really...
