Going to Keighley

[waxer]

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.

[brettney19]

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:

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.

[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.
