Forum: First Generation Magna TM - TP

Hi gents, I need to replace the Idle speed control motor and the Throttle Position sensor. Of course I rang Mitsub. and they said, no worries...$1135 complete. (Just let me stretch across for the Brandy!) My mech. said to get the whole lot. But is it actually necessary to replace the body...

Hi everyone, first time poster from NZ here. I have a 88 mitsi v3000, from which I understand is largely similar to you aussies magnas. I love this car, however I cannot for the life of me get the dashlights to work. I've checked all fuses, all my exterior signal lights work, and the backlight...

Hi - am in Sydney, looking for any of the following, happy to pay for parts and postage: 1) Main side RH roof moulding (above drivers side front and passenger doors) 2) Dash 'binnacle', including turn signal stalk, demister push button switch, dimmer slide control (mostly needing this for the...

Guys, would someone have, or have access to, a console for at 1990 TP Executive console. It's got the Power switch and the side mirror adj. switches in the top right hand side. Will pay the right price and postage. Should be in fairly good shape.

Hi - I have a TP Magna sedan with an auto transmission. The shift lever/column is very loose. Having removed the centre console, I can see what appears to be a bolt through the lever base, but it seems to be very loose. Has anyone else had this problem, and can you suggest a fix for it?

Happy to pay for them and postage if anyone has any.....

Hi - does anyone have a list of the function and belt types required for the TP Magna. I believe there's 3 in total. 2 at the front (aircon/alternator, power steering), and one at the 'back' for the water pump. John

I haven't yet done any analysis or checking - but any thoughts as to what might have caused both the power windows and power mirrors on my TP Elite to not be working? Car was recently purchased, and arrived with these items not working.

Hi - looking for replacement strips for the rear centre garnish panel and the tail lights, or a same, same, but different alternative. Anyone have any suggestions?

Hi - trying to find the paint code for the 'black' colour the door frames are painted on a TP Magna Elite. Anyone know what it is?

Hi all, just thought I’d post up a pic of my old girl. Just swapped engines due to chain noise and a slightly low compression in the old engine. The one going back in now is actually the original engine. It’s about 100000km old but had chain rattle. Got hold of a new oil pump and chains, good as...

Anyone in vic looking for a reasonably tidy looking GT magna? Currently $100 wont go much more in pickles at Tullamarine. Id buy it but it costs $600 to get back here. ONLY 3 HOURS TO GO SO ACT FAST!! ...

It has been a few years since I have been an active member of this forum and first gen owner. After years of talking about my old TP to anyone who would listen I decided to purchase one of carcycle's GTs before they weathered away into something that would only be worth crushing. The car is...

This is the start of something grand. Fun, excitement and a smile no amount of soap can get rid of. This is the story of a new chapter in my life as the life of our dear friend Ray is taken away. I present to you.. The Magna-Buff Build. http://i.imgur.com/S4o7vVDl.jpg

Hey guys, first post. About 6 months ago I picked up this GT locally for $800. https://imgur.com/a/0CuFB It's reasonably tidy. Manual with 240k on it as of now. Has a couple of small rust bubbles under my crappy plastidip roof job, needs some new brake pads and I think control arm bushes....

We own a 1991 TP Station wagon that was at the tail end of this model and still had the carbed 2.6 Astron motor. Have had problems with it just running out of oomph and so far have replaced coil, electronic igniter, plugs and fuel pump with no real success as yet. Now thinking it may be the fuel...

Hi All, I have a TN Magna carby model which floods after you turn it off and it sits for 10-20 minutes. If you push the foot to the floor it also chokes. Put a carby kit through it, but a carby guy said it could be a blocked pipe and that it was a back pressure flood. Anyone experienced this?...

Looking for a registered first gen in SA, wondering if anything is around?

I fitted a new fuel pump about 18 months ago and seems like it's not working now. I don't start the car much, 6 months or so. i tried to activate it through the engine service connector and get a fairly big spark suggesting a short. Any ideas? thanks. :D

Until two weeks ago normal cold starting was 2 pushes on the pedal and away we went. Now, if the car is not started for a couple of days it needs 10 to 15 seconds cranking before it fires. Once started it runs quite normally. Three questions: 1. Do the plastic carby bowls crack after long usage...
