Forum: 380 DB Series I - Series III

I have 2005 380 GT and sore eyes. The auto dimming interior rear view mirror AKA electrochomatic mirror is not working. The green light illuminates when the switch is pressed, however the mirror does not dim. The 2 sensors are clean. rear windscreen is clean (also not tinted) and blocking...

Does anyone know whether 18x8 +35 rims with 235x40 tyres will fit under 380 guards? Thanks

While I'm still considering my Verada restoration, I haven't ruled out looking for another car either. I've been a real sucker for punishment with this particular KJ, everything from leaking or warped rocker covers to a bad heater core, failed steering rack, driveshafts, oil pressure switch, busted...

I’m so disappointed in my 380 paint job. 2008 model, about three years ago a small spot appeared on the roof which I assumed would polish out, only to find the clear coat was damaged. I figured a bird or rock had caused it. But no... over the last 18 months the clear coat all over the roof,...

Well, I think it's finally dying. I really hope not, but I guess all good things... As well as a very weird clunk like the transmission is slipping badly when coasting/idling at speed, I get a very random stall when I'm braking to a stop. The car stalls, but I can put into N and restart with no...

Hi all, Long time lurker and user of knowledge and unfortunately giver of little as I don't really know much about cars. However, you guys have been instrumental in me changing my brakes, my stereo, my thermostat, oil, oil filter and other minor things. I ask for your help on a funny little...

Hi all, I have 380 series 1 that I have had for 10 years now, one of my rear wheel bearings is noisy, does anyone know if the rear hub needs a puller to get it off or is it a simple matter of just undoing the bolts?. Thanks in advance, Lindeman.

I have no idea, i thought it was the head unit volume but makes no difference

MITSUBISHI 380, 2006 My wife managed to scape a pole and I lost the right hand side "vent/grille" that locks into the base of the front bumper. Trying to find a replacement. Can anyone advise the name of that part - tried everything to find it - and where it may be available. Located in Newcastle,...

Hi. As the subject suggests the front passenger and both rear windows are not working. I have replaced the main drivers side console (because some switches were broken) and checked the fuses under drivers side dash and the bonnet but seem OK. Additionally, each passanger window control is...

Anyone know how to remove the front bar on a 380 VRX? Was looking for a haynes or max ellerys book but they decided not to make one for the 380.. Step by step with photos would be an advantage. Thanks

Anyone know which fuse to piggy back off in the fuse box? I would normally use accessories but not which one that is

hi All, I've got a 380 and the passenger side window stopped working and it's in the UP position. I've got the door linings off. I can see the regulator and the 4 bolts fixing the regulator to the door. My understanding is that there are 2 more bolts fixing the window to the regulator. These must...

Hi all, I went to Repco and asked for drive belt as I'm going to replace timing belt etc and might as well do it... They only gave me 1 belt with code 6PK1230RB. Anyone know what other belts I need?

At the last service I was told my front brakes are low and having a look around/think about it I was thinking of getting some DBA Sreet slotted rotors and TRW pads to suit. Last time I got some RDA slotted and a QFM pad, from memory, but haven't been overly happy with them. I have had good luck...

hi guys, anyone ever changing Transmission Oil on your 380? apparently there are some kits including new Gaskets and tranny filter when you do your service. 380 has the pan vertical :ninja: and didnt find and kits for either 380 or Galant. is the only maintenance Flush and clean up of...

Boot lid will not open via remote on key, or glove box button. No solenoid sound. Will open via mechanical pull cord. Where is solenoid situated? Can I try electrical test. Have workshop manual on disc, like reading Chinese. Hopefully someone can assist. Regards, Silverman.

Hi all, Dad's 380 chewed a valve (suspected broken bolt on timing tensioner, who knows if it's mechanical fault or mechanics fault from the timing belt changed 6 months ago..) As the car is now worthless, unless the wrecker next door offers $50 for it, I was wanting to ask the mechanics and...

Hi, i have a small popping noise coming from what sounds like the underside of the inlet manifold at idle. The engine is not misfiring or running rough at all. Cant hear it while driving and car drives normally. Timing belt water pump plugs and rocker cover gaskets were recently done about 500 km...

howdy y'all how do you get rid of the service indicator spanner on the cluster ?? cheers, Brad.
