Just been told that my engine has to be replaced at 62000km. I have had nothing but trouble with this vehicle since the day I bought it.AnOldFart wrote:I bet there have been some bloody -'interesting'- conversations held recently back at Mitsui's Nippon Corporate Headquarters about the -'wisdom'- of their decision to run their engine block manufacturing plant's machining '-tools'- past their use-by dates.

1- Cracked head (replaced 20000km)
2- 3rd gear synchro failed damaging 3 more gears from the metal soup
3- -airbag wiring loom replaced
4- clutch failed at 20000km from "towing too often"
I can safely say that when the new engine goes in ill be putting it on carsales. I honestly don't think I will buy a Mitsubishi again after this lemon. I think I'm going to try my luck with a ranger wildtrak.

But is that just for the manual gearboxes? I've heard good reviews about the auto which I will get.

MMAL hot line fix number is MN21-001 , which I referred the dealer to. Done in 3 days while I was on holidays.
