Hi all, I've replaced the droplinks and got new tyres (and had the tracking checked) on my Outlander alloys but I'm still getting excessive wear on the outside of my front tyres. Its a 2wd 2.5td with 205/60/16 s on the front - as its a new import the garage I got it off put new bottom balljoints and...

Hi, I've recently put on a set of 4 Mitsubishi Outlander Alloys I got off ebay - 3 were fine but one is out of true and makes the whole car shake at 65-70. The fitters suggestion was the alloy got dinged in all the icy weather and decided to offload them on ebay.. and I was the obliging mug. So coul...

..yes, was afraid I knew the answer.. :? However, I've been doing a bit of research on Autotrader and it appears the alloys I've got were original fit on an Mitsubishi Outlander which is a big 4x4 SUV thingy that grosses as 2t unladen- which I think means the load rating should be fine (and a much b...

Hi all, I've read a few threads and looked on the Alloys factsheet and got myself some Mitsubishi 16" alloys off ebay.. I was just looking up the loading recomendations against the tyres that are already on the alloys and they're not enough - was going to get some decent boots as recommended in...

When I checked the fluid it was nice and warm I think - (just done 50 miles a little earlier), however, I went straight from P into D, though I quickly went through the other gears once or twice. I have got once of those Drapers cheapo syphon pumps - is it literally a case of sticking the pipe down ...

Just had a horrible thought - I did check the level when the box was in park, it was still very low but as I filled it up (according to the advice to do it in D) it was way over the top... (but ok when D selected). .. so if everyone has been filling their boxes to the correct level with it in Drive ...

Hi all, Thanks again for the advice - I will check later with it in park (does make sense!). I didnt get the old "rotten eggs" smell, but it does smell a little burnt - a bit like a bad farmyard!! (at least its not at all pleasant). I will get it checked over and give the dealer a shout to...

yikes! I checked the ATF level in the autobox and it was off the (bottom) of the scale! Took just over 1.5L of Dexron III to bring it upto full. Question is: how likely is it the box is damaged? Car drove fine, but a bit smoother with the top up (can't fault the gearbox at all - everything seems ok,...

Hi all, Many thanks for the info - The pipe is actually weeping from the join - it looks like its just pulled a bit off the steel tube (I can see the small lip) - Its still on the original clip so will replace with a jubilee clip ASAP. I've seen the garage down in Newbury advertised and mentioned be...

aahh - that could very well sound like my problem - when I get my new tyres on it I'll be getting them to do a full tracking/check of balljoints etc.

cheers!

Steve

thanks - I think so - it holds a straightline when "hands off" and also when braking.

Hi All, I've got a new import Bongo (2wd 2.5TD) and I've done about 500 miles in it. For the new MOT the importing garage put new bottom balljoints on at the front - there was a problem with the O/S one (came loose in the pressing!) and it got a whole new arm on that side. I'm still getting uneven t...

Hi all, I'm a newby to the forum and a newby to Bongo's too! Really impressed to see the amount of info and help on the forum - makes ownership seem a lot less daunting to new Bongonauts! To the subject - I have a very slightly leaky hose on what I think are the pipes from the ATF cooler going into ...
