i went to my mech to change the glow plugs on my van , as soon as i started up there was a loud knocking , he said it was an air lock but it was not stopping.
went to sookai's diesel and they said i might be a piece of the old glow plug may have fount itself in the cylinder , my mech may have to remove the head to find what the promlem is for sure.

anyone else ever run into a similar problem?

Hey guys, looking for a set of door visors, fog lamps and bugshield for the 2008 sportero. Any one on here has?

[venum]

mitsubushi isnt spelt mitsuboshi like on the original belts they sell. The packaging is mitsubushi but the stuff inside is not.

Mitsuboshi is Mitsubishi OEM

its part of the Mitsubishi group of companies

Can the 2.5 DiD 4G56 engine inna 2008 L200 Sportero 4x4 manual be swapped for a 3.2 DiD engine? What will be the mods needed?

[tourniquet]

took a glance at an engine bay of a 2012 Sportero; did those not come with any MAF sensor?

Anybody know where I can get ah rear plastic bumper for a Sportero/Triton? Or a after market metal one?

[tr1ad]

where can i get a canopy for the l200 sportero?auto air doesn't have any

[tourniquet]

Didn't realize Auto Air still around. Have you tried LV Marketing?
Depending on how much money you have to spend, you could always go ARB from West Bourne

[tr1ad]

I'll look for LV and their number....

[Cen-Serv Ltd]

Where can I get a power steering hose (high pressure ) for my cs3 lancer?

Thx

[theevilonereborn]

Why my Sportero front calipers keep breaking like they made of chocolate??!!!!!

[VexXx Dogg]

Suspension kits for the ML/MN Sportero (06-09). Any locally? Looking for complete kit, not just a block lift.

[venum]

check Z Offroad

[tr1ad]

stupid question,
i took a jump start as i left on park lights, and now when i put the key in the ignition and turn on Acc, the dash lights stay on, ac/blower stays on.

what do i need to check?

if i start the van however, it switches off fine - after turbo timer cuts off

[Toyopet]

That's strange. I think you should check a good electrician. Something may have burned or shorted. What's your general location? I know a good guy in south

[tr1ad]

In San Fernando

[tr1ad]

Getting the feeling it's an issue with the Clifford alarm that came from the firm with the built in turbo timer .... Anyone know the exact model of this alarm?

[venum]

Sounds possible

is the ac blower in the on position or off?

[tr1ad]

if was left on, once acc is turned on and then off the blower remains on, and the lights on the dash - oil, abs, airbag etc remains on... just as if you still have acc switched on

Fellas anyone ever had to change the left front wheel bearing in their sportero. Mine is starting to go but the firm only selling the entire hub/spindle set up for $4000.00. Tried filter proz but no response and Roc has none in stock. Getting a substitute for $600.00 bu maruds in marabella, any one ever used a substitute spindle and how did it hold up
Thanks

Anyone ever changed this part ?

Depends on how you use your car, I won't recommend using cheap substitute spindles. Try Fastrac off the highway near Chief for foreign used

[VexXx Dogg]

Anyone have a complete partlist for 100K service? (edit: 2007 KB4T 2.5 manual 4x4 )
Still have 20K to go, but I prefer to do this earlier rather than later. I'll do some shopping around.

[crock101]
