I know it's old but it's still relevant. It was the word "keighley" that caught my eye, as I live in Settle- just up the road from Accy!

I just bought a Galant VR4 from there and its not bad. I agree about the staff there, they dont really take much notice of you. I have got a problem with the drivers side front wheel bearing. I called and the garage are sending me a cheque in the post to cover it. There is another unusual noise when turning left as well. It sounds like a wheel screeching but i wasn't going that quick? ( Becasue of the bearings) . So all in all, not bad but not sure if i would bother going to them again.
Hi and welcome to the club. The other noise may be a bottom balljoint or the tyre catching a loose wheel arch guard and congratulations on the purchase
Yeah, say hello in a new thread, and everyone will be welcoming you and demanding pictures in short order!

I will say hello in another then
Well i had a bit of a lucky escape this morning! No Brakes! Luckily you have to press the brake to remove the car from park. I then proceeded at an alarming rate backwards towards my other half's car. I manage to snatch the handbrake up in time when i realised. The AA have recovered it to Ralliart Mitsubishi in Colchester and apparently the master cylinder has gone. The garage have said that they will pay for this thank god. I could do without the 500 nugget bill .
They did want me to get it transported back to the garage and the for me to pick it up when it was ready. I managed to worm my way out of that one though. 10-14 working days for a master cylinder from Mitsubishi. Keighley reckon that he can get one sent to me before that, but i will wait to find out tomorrow on that one! Im so gutted it might not be ready for my week off next week, i was looking forward to a back road blast round Thetford forest. Oh well, life is such....
Brettney - Hang fire. Has your car had the stability recall done? Is it a Tiptronic?
Reason I ask is the symptoms are exactly the same as you have described and a new master cylinder is only part of the cure.
If you're unsure, check your rear windscreen - There may be some 'G' stickers, with a number in them - Post them if you have them and we can confirm.
Alternatively, PM me your chassis number and I can check on Mitsubishi's Japan recall page.
Yes i do have g stickers! Damn i pulled one off as i didnt think they were important? Dont know about the recall and yes its tiptronic.
Send me a private message with your chassis number - That's all I need to check it out - Or you can do it yourself if you follow the instructions here:Originally Posted by brettney19

Im not getting much from that site? I must be doing it wrong ....
I've repled to your PM - For anyone else pondering Brettney's problems, all recall work appears to have been done in Japan, so the ASC recall's now ruled out.Originally Posted by brettney19
Thanks very much for looking into that for me. I didn't think to look into any of that. Lets hope the dealer can find me a cylinder as i dont fancy waiting 2 weeks for a part without any wheels. I suppose i was lucky as the car had to go in and get a drivers side front wheel bearing done anyway.
