Other information.
Spares or repair, unfortunately the car has a clacking from the engine, I fear a journal bearing or something big end related may have gone, it starts and runs fine but starts clacking +3000 rpm. When I first heard it, we had been driving for about 45 mins and I had a look and I think it could have been a small oil leak from around the crank pulley, checked the oil, was low so topped it up but still clacking away, drove home and parked up. This happened last year just before the MOT ran out in November and it’s been pretty much sat here unloved since then, only just moving around the driveway, but it’s not moved for 2 or 3 months, battery’s had it now really too.
It was a great car and I’ve loved every minute of owning and driving it, and have been torn whether to fix it up or not, but realistically it not going to happen so time to let it go.
It still drove great up until then, gearbox good with smooth gear changes, always serviced with Amsoil fluids. The AYC light had come on, and I bought one of the adjustable AYC switches from Malc on here, but never got round to fitting it! So that can go with the car.
Interior is the standard cloth type. It has the moonroof, works fine. The engine cover is intact and good nick for a standard one just normal aging, just has a little bit underneath where the ribbing has has a tiny crack that could do with glueing, but you can’t tell/see it.
Still got the standard stereo, the six disc boot changer one with the amp in boot floor etc. Front speakers and the bass bin are dud though.
The boot has the dog guard and the material type boot liner with ‘Mitsubishi Motors’ logo. Has retractable load bay cover
Outside it’s showing it’s age a bit, rust on rear arches and the odd parking ding. Bumpers would need respray.
Have still got the standard back box kicking about, can go with, and the original cat is knocking around somewhere, can have that too but was in poor nick when took off and has been sat on garage floor ages so consider it scrap/to repair.
The alternator should be good still, it was a new exchange unit from camskill not long before they stopped doing parts.
Air con works great.
I only use to cover about 5000 miles a year in it. I never bothered changing the ODO to miles, so it’s all still KM’s. I’ll double check the exact reading. It has had the speed limiter wire disconnected.
Please bear in mind although the car will run and drive, it is not roadworthy and will need trailering away, and obviously I can’t guarantee any of the parts etc.
Thanks for looking. Any questions please ask.
I’ll try get some more pics soon
Bad bits
Engine is clacking. Still runs ok, but clacks at +3000rpm
AYC light is on (isn’t that standard?! Lol)
The dreaded tin worm. Rust started in the usual places, rear arches, top of strut towers etc. Bodywork showing it’s age.
Wheels need refurb and tyres
Brakes will need clean up etc.
