Forum: 380 DB Series I - Series III

So here is the story..... My front seat has felt a little loose for a few months. Nothing major I thought, its just getting old, and im not getting any lighter. Its had a weird lean to the right. Its just getting old I thought - and I need to stop leaning on my door. Today while heading home...

Afternoon, The Drivers seat in my '05 380 VRX has collapsed on the righthand side. The electric adjustment still functions and to the best of my knowledge, the airbag has not deployed. Has anyone in SA had any experience with getting a car seat restuffed, or would it be more cost effective for...

Has anyone removed the seat covers to give them a good clean? Mainly wondering about the airbags in the front seats, don't want to set them off.

Over the past two months my 2005 LX has taken an extra second to start, suspected the starter motor might be going. Have been barely using it (can walk to work now). After a week in the garage, today it almost didn't start. Took about 5 seconds, and the engine light stayed on. Also seemed...

Hi Guys I have codes P0420 and P0430 and my reading on this forum tells me that I probably need new cats. The rear cat looks moderately difficult to reach. Does anyone have any hints on replacing it? From what I can see, I will probably take off the plenum to get better access from the top. I...

Noted with surprise that tyres will need replacing soon. Have done only 41,000km and won't get to 45,000. Is the 380 hard on tyres? I remember getting over 70,000km with Hankooks on the KS Magna (15 inch wheels). I had the Hankook S1 Noble 452 (215/ 55/17 inch 93V) fitted and alignment done...

The headlamps on my GT have not yellowed, but are now getting foggy. It is most noticeable when the lights are on. Rather than a uniform haze, it looks like the polycarbonate might be pitted. Has anyone had success clearing up headlamps. I would appreciate info from anyone who has had lasting...

With the gear stick is the P, R, N, D supposed to light up blue? mine doesn't. And i forgot if it's supposed to or not. The + - does but not the rest.

Was a workshop manual ever produced for the 380? Haynes etc... I have just started looking into this and can't find much info. Looks like the Galant 9th edition might be the closest. Cheers.

My front seatbelts don’t retract that well, and appear to have lost their recoil power. Are there any suggestions to improve them? Thanks!

Afternoon All, I have an 05 VRX, with the small rear spoiler, however the spoiler itself is starting to crack and has gone through the first layer of paint. I'm looking at replacing it with an aftermarket spoiler, similar to...

Hey guys, I've had the dredded ticking noise coming from my car for a while, happens when the car warms up and typically on idle. Ive put together a quick diy to replace the valve see below... They call it a canister purge valve at mitsubishi stealerships, note the part number on bag and...

My son's 380 dash indicator for a door or the boot being open doesn't light up - (It's a base model so this is the only way to see if the door is ajar). I'm guessing it's hooked up to the interior light but has anyone dealt with this before? (tried searching but didn't find anything). TIA

380 DB Series II 2006 a very recent problem ive got with my 380 is that it wont accelerate over 4000rpm. if i pin the pedal to the floor it work great until the tacco reaches 4000rpm then the car acts like its chained to a house. if I carefully drive and not let the revs build up to the 4000...

Hi Got a third key with my 380 GT as one is broken but I need to program it. Is it a dealer job?:stoopid:

Could someone please tell me what the torque setting is for the sump plug on the 380. Many thanks in advance..

hey guys... as some of you are aware my 380 was making that annoying ticking noise that made it sound like it was a diesel. just an update on this, i dropped my car off to mitsubishi this morning to get the part that is causing the ticking noise replaced under warranty. I asked what was...

Hi All, This is a strange one. The remote control buttons on the steering wheel only work when the engine is not running. The ignition can be on either accessories or in the on position (dash lights on) but as soon as you start the engine, the buttons stop working. I have checked every...

So my 380 LX has been having some issues the weird thing is it is more likely to happen on a cold morning. My lumber adjustment automatically moves out, you can hear a click from what sounds like the dash Near keys/fuse box and just keeps slowly clicking away more often while braking until the...
