Forum: 380 DB Series I - Series III

The OEM stacker in my 2007 VRX spat out all the discs the other day. After the 1st one came out i tried to play another one and it too came out....one after the other. If i try and put one in it goes all the way in, comes out half way, back in and out again for a few times and then comes all the...

Hey guys, I have a few questions, if anyone has the time. Thanks in advance :) My car broke down the other day while I was on the road far from home. The first sign of trouble was steam coming from the engine compartment. The cause of the steam turned out to be a crack in the plastic top of...

Heyo So yes, to further clarify - when having to brake hard (say the bottom of a steep driveway) it feels I have to press the pedal further than normal and then pressure firms up a lot more than normal as well. Under normal braking everything feels just fine. It started about a year ago. I swear...

Hey everyone, so my car has recently started to have the same issue again and I'm quite confused as to what might be causing it. The last time this originally happened was over 8 months ago, then disappeared all by itself. However it came back last month. Since then I replaced my car battery as...

Installed the OEM iPod Kit, however the chosen song won't actually play. I set the headunit to CD2 and can skip through various CD's (albums and playlists) and tracks, and the chosen song changes on the iPod's screen - however it doesn't play. The track timer just stays at 0:00. It should play...

Could someone explain to me where i connect my steering control harness to on an after market head unit

I finally had the Berklee muffler fitted last week & can vouch they are a "great value for money mod". I only have the K & N filter with the Galant intake, lower resonator mod & engine cover taken off but this surpasses those easily. The muffler is quiet as well with no drone on long trips I just...

Just finished installing this unit (Part No. 677) and thought I would dump some pics and one or 2 pieces of useful info. The first being that the mitsi has 5/16th oil lines and the new cooler has 3/8th!! so you need to get the brass reducers from Pertek or autoBahn or SuperCheap. Pertek are the...

Hey, anyone know what OBD2 protocol the 2005 380 VXR uses. From what i can gather Mitsubishi use their own proprietary standard. I was thinking about getting one of those ELM327 bluetooth scanners off ebay..

Hello A bit disappointed because my ever reliable 380 has a problem. A week or so ago, I tried to open the sunroof and it got stuck about 3 cm open. When I try to close it now, there is no mechanical movement, just a ticking sound coming from the sunroof. This did happen the same time last year...

Hi, my seat control panel on the drivers seat has been broken at the front. Recently it got caught on my leg and the top tab has broken. My question is "are these just flimsy" and therefore is there a successful way of fixing / strengthening. Or do people just get a few spares and replace as needed?

You've all read me whinging and bitching about the round, black pieces of crap that were on the blue beast. After my mechanic gave the hubs and drive shafts the all clear during the week i came to the conclusion that maybe it was time to either change tyres or put in another transmission. I'll...

I was wondering if someone on here has documented a timing belt replacement on our car. I cant seem to find anything at all. I have the service manual, but tend to learn much better through video or photo walk throughs. Thanks!

What would cause both number plate lights not to work? 2005 S2 VRX. It's not the bulbs as I tried a few different ones. All my other lights are working. Are they on a seperate fuse? Any help appreciated.

OK, posting this up to remove any doubts and fears for anyone now or in the future about doing this yourself. It really IS simple, and with absolutely zero mechanical knowledge but a little common sense, you should be able to do this in 10-15 mins (depending on how many times you stop to take a sip...

hi all does anyone know if possible or where to get automatic adjusted so doesnt go to 5th gear at 60kms an hour rather 70kms? I often use tiptronic mode because of this and run LPG not so worried about economy.

Hello I'd thought I would document how I removed my 380 headlights from the car. The reason I am doing this is because I am going to black out the chrome inside the housing. Step 1: Take off inner mud splash guard from the inside of the wheel well. Pry, mangle and break off those tabs...

This has probably been brought up before, but i found these while digging around on an American Galant website which seems to suit the 380s Speaker Plugs perfectly. Does anyone know of a Chinese version or a cheaper option then the American ones? Also found some UK ones which look the same....

Hey Guys, Was a frequent poster a long time ago. Had a 97 TE 3.0L 5 Spd. Since moved on and forgot about the forum, until just recently when we decided to downsize from a rarely used D22 Navara to something a little more practical. After much discussion, we settled on a 380 and a budget of...

My 380 struggles terribly with a poor battery.. Throws odd CEL's, though I've never had the Crank Angle sensor issue.. Usually Upper Manifold Abosute pressure Mass air flow sensor ( recently ) and just now a O2 sensor issue ( Pending ) what that is... None of these have ever thrown the...
