Forum: Third Generation Magna TE - TW

Hey guys, I did a search and couldn't find much, was wondering if any here had roof racks on their 3rd gen? I'm looking into buying a kayak for weekend use (going on little day trips to go kayaking:cool:) but obviously it won't fit in the back of the wagon, seeing as they're about 2.5-3m long. I've...

Hey guys, I've had my magna for a few weeks now, it has a few little things wrong with it, thought I'd ask you for some advice. 1. My brakes squeal a LOT when I'm slowing down. It's worst when I am coming to a complete stop, i.e. the harder I brake the worse the noise is. It's fairly loud too,...

Hey all, I am new to the Magna club but I have been cruising the forums for about a year now. I just had my front left CV joint replaced as it was clicking due to the boot cracking and dirt destroying my CV. The Mechanic said my car was due for a service. My car is a 1997 TF 3.0 What is...

Just noticed my TE magna is leaking something on in the driveway. Not a awful lot but few drops It looks like water and is thin like water but doesn’t feel like water..more like oil. It is yellow as well. It also doesn’t dry like water..there is a mark still on the concrete from last night. ...

when you push the green or red buttons (unlock or lock) do you get any feeling that its working? when you press it do you KNOW that you pressed it? I think my key may have had it, I was able to reprogram it but the unlock button doesn't work... not too keen on paying $60 for a new one :tired:

Hi Just wondering if any of the guys with a KJ Verada GTVi could take a pic of their instrument cluster and post it up. I am trying to work out what cluster i have in mine. It lights in stages like the verada does but it is not totally black, it has silver surrounds.

Recently I've noticed a shudder in my auto 3.5 TH wagon. At first I thought it was slight corrugations in the road after the recent rains but it has got worse. It's almost like it is two problems that are linked. Over bumps it feels like something heavy is shaking near my feet. Sometimes...

Hey dudes, well I'm thinking about thinking about getting some badass rims for the wagon sometime in the next few months, as well as possibly lowering it. I was thinking maybe 17s or 18s, but to be honest I don't know what to look for apart from 5x114.3 (and I don't even know what that means!) ...

Hey guys. as some of you may have read in my members lounge thread, I am currently making white dials for my TE Magna! I also wanted to do the air con panel at the same time. BUT, I got it out from behind the surround, but how do I get the knobs off so I can take off the panel? I pulled the...

hey fellas Ok so got given a sub by a mate. already had amp etc etc hooked up so easy installation connecting a sub up. anyway some retard (myself) accidently touched the ground and the remote power cable together. shorting everything. alright so its happened before. i just disconnected the...

Im looking to identify this type of globe so I can buy an LED replacement for it. Its from the Verada Vanity Mirrors in the Sun Visors. https://img25.imageshack.us/img25/4180/globed.jpg Any help would be awesome :) Thanks Fellas.

Was inspecting the car when i realised that the rhs reverse light of the gtv wasnt working. On closer inspection i saw the whole damn wire/link was missing from the actual light to the lock mechanism/middle of boot lid where it plugs in!! HUH? so now ive got to track one down because of the special...

Hey guys, I know it's probably been done to death but.. I've been thinking about doing some lighting, just the foot wells and maybe the boot. I just want it to be an on/off switch in the center console or something, and just want it to be a nice even glow (probably red). Where's the best...

Went back to S.K.R. for a couple of runs on the dyno to determine the real torque figures. Some dynos can do this. Steve could'nt help himself and did a re-flash which gained another 2 kw. So it ends up its gone from 93.1 kw to 123.9kw.and the torque figures on this chart are real. ...

Hi All, I have a set of 380 front brake pads (Bendix General CT's) and wondering if these can be interchanged on the Twin Piston 3rd gen AWD/Ralliart calipers?? Its kind of a cross-section question hence posting in tech torque :P Thanks!

Hi guys, last year around may/june.. i got new wheels (p6's) and an balance and alignment, a couple of days later while turning right around a long corner (in the wet) the car slid out and i went forward over the gutter seperating the two roads. rim was dinted about 1-2 cm in, and i called RACV...

Have a problem. I have a 98 TF magna and needed and needed to remove my entire towbar. So I got underneath the car and saw two bolts. One taking a 17mm socket and the other a 15mm. They very fairly tight but they eventually cracked. The only problem is that the bolts are now just spinning. They...
