  1. Yes your car hasa serous issue in the Transmission. Q: when, if ever did you last CHANGE THE ATF? Yea your tranny has a red colored fluid which by now is black and the poor thing is having NDE's (Near Death Experiences) By this time it is possible that you may have had irreparable damage to the gear box but start with a complete flush and refill with the strainer.
  2. This is nota space shuttle and therefore you dont need a rocket-scientist. Q: When wasthe last time you washed the engine? your prob would've started soon after. Get a suitably qualified guy to check the plugs and plug wires.water can go down the plug wsires to short circuitthe HT SYSTEM AND IF YOUR CAR IS FUEL INJECTED, SAME STORY. Start with replacing the wires and plugs, you'll get better efficiency,mwhile your at it, replace the cob web coverd air filter which was last replaced during the reign of Pres D B Wijethunga! your car does not have coil packs.! No more engine washes for this engine! P.s, Dont tyhink you can find any one who wnowsa where the engine is, let alone the cause of a miss fire.that far away. I diagnosed an engine miss to an injector on a JDM EFI FB14 once,..replaced it,.. and that was it.
  3. The pulling to the side may comee from the brakes . Lift up the car and check the front wheels, there may be a prob,..

  5. You're gonna have a head ache with pot holes damaging your tyres. .
  6. Jumbo wheels look good on any car,. the practicality, suitability and most of all rationality behind the move must be debated,.. why not a kick ass sound system instead?
  7. Yes, with good reason these people have given these comments,.. Kindly refer the issues had by AL members,.. As for the engine, wonder if the engine was fitted to crawl in heavy traffic.And the self distrusting CVT transmission , definitely an embarrassment for the greatest car-maker of our time.
  8. NEW SPARK LEADS. 2.YES 3.MAYBE. + You must understand that this is a job for a trained professional . so get the car seen by one,..i've replied on what to do to an ae91 COROLLA WITH SIMILAR ISSUES BEFORE. Good luck
  9. I didn't make the law or uphold it,..Sorry.
  10. Start with a full flush of the brake system.replace the mastercylincder washers/.and mechiene the drums and discs. And get rid of the mirror-like polish opn them new good quality shoes and pads check and replace all brake hoses. Lastly, get 4 new tyres. By doing all this, you'llget the thing near new condition.If you want even more efficeiency,.you'll have to modify.
  11. Thx bro
  12. The car obviously didn't drive it self.
  13. +++++Any more bangs and you'll be left witgh a damaged valve body. Don't blame the car, Get a Land Rover
  14. +How did you manage to do this? You must really hate that poor little little car.
  15. Better get those dings beaten out as well. and yes use this time to re fill tghe thing with new ATF
  16. Your engine capacity, it's a no no if memory serves me right,..
  17. You re getting a 650 cc Kei car and you talk of performance,.the car was built with all wheel drive to a serve a purpose, if the previous owner wanted a 2wd , he should have got on in the first place. Cannot recommend a failed project car. Ever thought why he's selling the thing in the first place? Maybe the guy didn't get the desired effect with the conversion. The 4wd system would have affected the efficiency to an extent that he would have got it removed.
  18. in a word, Yes.just get the services of a qualified auto electrician
  19. Mill $ question , WHY? Haveing said that you'll have to get an outside temp sensor and wire it in. AS if SL had a winter!@#$ In Sl, you'll need the a/c in two settings, 1. Icy cold 2.Freezing cold. so what's the point of climate control?
  20. I ment your Gearbox when I wrote Auto.
  21. Long live the Pajero ! start with re pressurizing the injectors. New air filterEtc checking by your age the engine may have had many overhauls in it's life up to now get the engine mounts checked. The vibration :your engine has a balance shaft which may have been taken off by the local engineer who taught the mitsu engineer Your consumption is heavily dependent on how the vehicle is driven , current engine state, level of compression etc. The 4m40 engine is no paragon of efficiency and is no better than it's petrol brother when it comes to efficiency.+ check the valve clearances when the engine is warm and adjust if needed.use a good diesel engine oil. Your A/c has an effect of loading up the engine badly.and is it automatic? As for the timing and other twiddly bits,.better not worry it runs,..some one knowing what he was doing has blocked tjhe EGR.that's why it's not smoking. Cheers.! Ps. What's the milage of the Paj?
