Welcome to the world of Mitsubishi Dealers!!!:rolleyes5


To ease the pain, I designed a new currency system called "MegaPounds". 1 mega pound is worth £1,000.

So... It's actually only costing you M£0.16 and M£0.08 for your bits.

Does that make it feel better?! :-D

uhhh this isnt even with the dealer. this is with an independent company that some people at work recommeneded. only going with them cos theyll pick the car up and drop it off from work.

they better do a good job and i aint using them ever again. going back to my main man !!

lol they havent finished my car so i have a brand spanking new nissan primera sitting in front of the work office. just got the keys it aint bad.

i forgive them for the price because of the decent customer service. the head dude was kind enough to call me and apologise cos they havent got the replacement exhaust gasket yet and the car wont be ready till tomorrow.

I think Ian's referring to the 2.0 GLS and 6A13 N/A units Richard. I think full synthetic 0w/40 is a bit too thin for them, whereas your 6A13TT needs all the help it's oil can give.

I think! :$

GOOD LAD, KIERAN :-D
i thought it seemed to loose it's smooth feel to quick in the 2.0 GLS.would that do with the engine not running as hot and also 0/40 would go through the turbo's easier.oh yeah it also made my lasher noise sound worse!

Thanks for that. I always thought Synthetic was the best and should be used in all cars. However, I remembered my first Galant ran better on Semi.

Didn't leak :)
