Forum: Lancer

Had some fun yesterday. Key was getting harder to turn in the ignition and often didn't want to come out easily. Finally bit the bullet yesterday, pulled the barrel right out, cleaned out by spraying and flooding with lubricant spray - lots of grey lubricant dribbled out - and back it went....

Just to annoy the V6 Mitsu crowd: Drove the CJ Lancer to the airport, a round trip of about 60 km. Fuel consumption was 6.3L /100 km on the way up (2 people in car), went up to 6.5 L/ 100 Km on the way back (4 people, luggage for 2). Yes, I could have taken the TJ Magna, but it would have...

This Recall is for the CJ Lancer, same problem as some of the CH models had, light stalk on the steering column can develop corrosion problems and you may have an intermittent problem with headlights, indicators etc going off/not working when you least expect it. Expect a letter in the mail.

donor car 2006 lancer 2 ltr has a 5 speed manual It needs to bolt to the 2006 lancer 2 ltr CVT owner has to replace the 2 ltr engine question will the engines be the same or are the 2 ltr engines compatible with gearboxes on the 2006 models

Hi everyone, I am facing a no crank issue with my 6A12M converted Lancer. It used to start with this motor so this is not a post conversion issue. I originally suspected it was a starter motor issue and performed the following tests: 1. Checked the voltage of the battery (12.6v) 2. Checked...

Son's 2007 CJ Lancer (109,000 km) is showing an "ABS Service required / ASC off" message. The ABS pump was replaced about 10,000 km ago. Anyone got any ideas? Is it as easy as resetting the service light or is there something more sinister going-on here? KSD

My in-laws have a 2008 VRX which has only done around 50 odd km and the ABS warning light is on (most of the time). I have checked this with the warranty clerk at my local dealer and have been told that this is a "throw away" and replace situation - with a cost for the part of around $2k (plus...

The CH Lancer from 2004 has a clutch problem . . . It's being used as a 'loaner' at the moment. Changed the oil and filter yesterday and took it for a bit of a drive, first time in about 15,000 km. Noticed a problem that was evident before has gotten a lot worse. (Speedo is currently at 55,000...

I'm Baaack. I was leaving a carpark and the right drivers wheel rubbed up against the kerb. Now when I turn the steering wheel to the left there is a rubbing sound. I can't see anything at first glance without getting under it. I was just hoping someone may have an idea what to look for as...

Guys, Will Evo 7 wheels fit on a CJ ES? (love these wheels) Both are 5 on 114.3, M12, but are the centre bore and offset compatible? I've seen photos of them on a TS Magna, and photos of CJ GSR wheels on a later Magna, so it seems likely(?) If not, will hubcentric rings be required/available.

Surprised it took so long (6 months). 18" wheels on the GSR have been guttered. Anyone know the name (or code) of the colour to touch them up? Also looking for a good set of 17" or 18" wheels and tyres for son's ES if anyone in SE Qld is planning to upgrade. Happy to pay a fair price. KSD

We've sold our '07 CJ to our son-a uni student- and replaced it with a new GSR hatch (wife loves it). It replaced his '92 Corolla (great old car) and gives his parents peace-of-mind with all those airbags etc. The '07 has always been dealer serviced, but he probably hasn't the $$ to maintain...

Looking at getting a CJ 2014 Lancer GSR - trying to find some info about the differences between MY14 and MY14.5 - particularly spec changes. any help or links appreciated - Thanks :confused:

OK, So i'm looking at lowering suspension for my cj lancer... do i go A) coil overs or B) lowered springs help please :)

Guys. Hope you can help me out. My daughter drove her lancer home from work, parked in the driveway, went to go out later and couldn't start it. Lock/unlock works off the key fob. All dash lights come on as normal in the on position. When you turn it to start, nothing.

I forgot what it means when the exhaust has water trickling out of it. I think I remember but want your version before I slash me wrists.

Duh 1.8 Gli

Hi, I just purchased a 2002 lancer GLi 1.8. There are pics in my profile album. The paintwork in reality doesn't look quite as good as in the pics though. It has had the springs lowered so it is like getting in and out of a go kart. Can someone please advise whether this will pass rego with...
