Forum: Second Generation Magna TR - TS

Hey all, I was hoping to get some advice on my Verada's annoying habit of its starter going out of alignment with the ring gear. It starts off fine but after 2-3 starts it just bounces off the ring gear and free wheels without engaging, so I get under and readjust it, I make sure the bolts are...

After thinking that I've somehow fixed the ticking noise a number of times and never really knowing why I came across a page that said to rev from idle in neutral slowly to 3000 rpm over 15 secs and then letting it drop back to idle and keeping it there for 15 secs and repeating that cycle (up to...

Hi, The radiator overflow bottle cap has deteriorated in my '92 Verada, both the inlet and outlet tubes are cracked on the top of cap at the bends where they enter the bottle. Of course, because the inlet tube is no longer intact there is no sucking the ejected coolant back in to the radiator. ...

Hi. I haven't been on for quite a while. Still driving the old beast at 450,000 ks now (magna ts 6 cyl auto). Original motor and auto box. I've got a long drive coming up and yesterday the oil pressure light came on. I cleaned/swapped the sensor, changed oil and filter and its now flickering on...

Hey all, I was wondering if I could get some advice about my Verada, First question is to do with my ABS, the car has sat for a few years and so I was going to flush out the brake fluid but I was wondering how to go about it with the ABS System? Will I need to take it to a dealer for a scan...

Hey everyone. Having a issue with my magna. The dash computer has stopped working and doesnt show anything, the aircon stopped working and the central locking has stopped working also. When i turn the car on the fuel and temp gauge go up and down followed by the rev and speedo dials. The car still...

Hey All Im currently undertaking a project using the ECU and parts out of a TS Magna, but the donor car i have has an automatic transmission. The question i have is if i disconnect the inputs/outputs from the engine ECU to the A/T ECU, will the engine ECU still operate properly , or are there...

took the wheel off and got under and had a look yesterday. CV Joint boot is gone - already sourced a split boot to replace it - although I'm wondering if the boot's been split for some time and the CV is actually the thing that "rattles". The sound is not very prominent and more so on small...

Hello gang, once again I seek info from the resident experts. My TR 3 ltr 5speed manual gearbox has turned to shit. 400K from home, changing from 5th back to 4th ..... crash. Gear lever is not able to be moved, it's locked solid. After much swearing, jiggling etc, I managed to get 1st, 2nd, 3rd...

Hey all, I'm wondering what is involved in doing a flywheel on a KR Verada? I'm going to be looking at it soon, a family friend has it just sitting in their front yard doing nothing and I've got a chance to look at it and possibly buy it, it is pretty straight but has been sitting for a few years,...

Whilst I was parked in a multi-storey car park somebody took offence to Maggie's l/h door mirror, who doesn't like a TS Magna wagon I ask you...... Anyways the glass and backing was also squashed by them. There are two little "U" shaped clips in the head, I have a TR mirror assy on a car at home...

'91 Magna Elite Steering wheel Controls The Magna Elite uses an uncommon method for sending codes to the radio. Rather than a voltage divider, it uses an NEC microchip that is intended for infrared remotes. Because of this, it is easy to work with if you have the right tools. The remote wire is...

2.6L EFI 1995 TS Sedan /w 120k kms Gotta do a rotor and pad change - not sure if I will do or get a mechanic. My capability and tools are fine - but tenacity/motivation....not so much... I have to do the outer left CV joint as well....I'm told....is this a whole new set of remove/replace...

Recently had starter motor repaired & elec switch replaced in key ignition (switch from wreckers).Now will not start unless ignition is turned on & left turned on for about 30 mins before.After engine starts & car used, key must be turned back to ACC not to OFF position,for engine to start...

I have a 4 cylinder injected manual 1993 Magna wagon with a very weird radio issue. AM and FM both work fine when the engine is NOT running with the ignition switch in either the "Acc" and "On" positions. However as soon as the engine starts, the FM stops working but the AM still works fine. I...

Issue is that when the car is unused for a few months (4 or 5 months) the ABS light comes on when I start to use the car again. Eventually with driving and many engine starts it settles and the warning light stays off. Today I registered to car and of course the ABS light comes on again....

My 1993 TR V6 auto has recently began producing an error 62 signal that according to the error codes is "Open-circuited torque reduction request signal line". Can any tell me what and where that is? I have had some connector problems that have been cured by unplugging and plugging in various...

Just wondering if you need to follow the procedure to depressurise the fuel system prior to replacing the fuel filter. All I can see is a little squirt of fuel being the problem - and then quickly plug the send/return lines to avoid any further dribbles. That'll evaporate away quick smart. I'd...

Is it Bosch Distributor Rotor GB885-C for my 1995 TS 2.6EFI?
