Forum: 380 DB Series I - Series III

Does anyone have part numbers for the different style wheels that came with the 380. 10 spoke GT, 5 spoke VRX, SX, ES, etc. I know they changed a bit from 2005 to 2008. Mine is a 2007 series III ES that came with the following 17 inch wheels: ...

Does anyone know if a 7 spoke Verada wheel will fit a 380? I know it has same offset etc but do the larger callipers on a 380 stick out too far? Thanks.

I've been trying to track down the source, but haven't come across it yet. When I drive more than about 2km, I can detect a mild scent of oil burning, like it's leaking onto the exhaust manifold somewhere, or cooking off of the block. The front exhaust area is clean, no signs of oil leakage...

Not sure about transmission fluid for 380. My search for a suitable car for wife continues. It was a happy day when she said the 380 is not too big to serve as her daily drive. Checked out a GT and an SX today. Transmission fluid on the 2 cars was similar. I thought 380's use SP3. The ATF in...

Managed to pick up some S3 grille inserts off a wreck and was just wondering if they do actually mount up to existing points on an S1 VRX. Had a look at the front, and it seems as though it may connect to where the splash guards connect to the bumper with scrivets. The rear insert however, seems...

Gday, as most of you know I track my beast and abuse it beyond believe, I have a big thread about brakes, Anways now I will sum up a final summary on suspension, tyres, and brakes on this car for performance aspects I have been lucky enough to make some contacts over the past few months to be...

Hey everyone so my car has recently started to have some issues starting when turning the key in the motion to start the engine it will sometimes fail to start properly and basically stall on the first attempt after this happens second attempt works everytime other times it works perfectly so I'm...

I do quite a lot of short (<10 minute) trips in my 380. While the car is still starting okay, the voltage is dropping enough for my PowerMagic to shut off power to my dashcam after a few minutes of the engine being off (It's set to trigger at either 11.8 or 11.6 volts, can't recall which) I have a...

Looking for a 380 for my wife. Just happy that she has agreed it is not too big. Keen on SX or VRX, with year model being less important than condition and how it has been serviced. GT/GTL would be great. SSuggestions welcomed. Anyone know the meaning of the letters and numbers in VIN. I have the...

Hey all its been asked before im sure, I searched and searched this forum and just cannot find the threat or post. My vanity lights have died in my 380 vrx, I want to replace them with WHITE BRIGHT LEDS, does anyone know the exact size (ie the bulb model number) and where i can get them from?? ...

Hi guys, I replaced he battery on my 380 ES today and when I first attempted to start the car, the instruments come on fine, but then when I attempt to start the car it instantly cut out. I tried starting the car several times after and now I'm not getting any lights on the dash board. Any...

I need to replace the front struts, the choice seems to be KYB, Gabriel or Monroe. Which ones are people running? I know KYB are the OEM but is it worth changing to one of the other 2 types.

Well, once I get my baby back from the shop, I'm going to hunt down a replacement rear bumper skin. The questions I have are: How many bolts hold it on? Are there any tricky ones to get to? If I manage to find one with the parking sensors that matches my car, what kind of work am I...

Gday guys, Got an issue with my CD player on the 380, hoping you can help me out. Seems as if the unit is jammed. I was just ejecting CD's from the car and #4 seemed to get jammed...Wouldnt eject the CD, just making a heap of noise. Came up with Error 3 on the display.. Managed to get the...

So, let's go over the problems. Maybe someone can provide some insight here. Rear rocker cover (apparently) suddenly is leaking oil. Put new gasket on, tightened properly. Still leaking oil on the rear exhaust. Apply Permatex to gasket. STILL BLOODY LEAKING! There is too much burnoff for...

Hi all Recent downpours in our area and stinking hot days meant that I got caught out with the windows down to cool the car when I went inside the house ... Interior of car got wet, side of seats etc lot of moisture in the car, when I went to hop in the car this afternoon all the dash...

Where did anyone who has a dash and/or floor mats get them from? I looked at the cheap garbage in the usual places, some of the online stuff appears to be of a passable quality, but i'm more inclined to pay for higher quality. I had genuine mats in the last 380 and they were great but i wouldn't...

A few weeks ago I had the auto transmission fluid in my Series III 380 changed as part of the 90K service. Since then the gear changing at lower speeds (up to 60 kph) has become somewhat erratic with lags between changes and the car sometimes appearing to "search" for the correct gear. At higher...

i'm in the process of ordering the 90mm intake and i thought i'd have a good look at the service manual to see what else needs to be done. I'm not real flush with cash at the minute and i was worried about the timing belt - my mechanic quoted me $800 to do the job. I dug around in the back of the...
