HI Dave, was back on site and realised that I had never sent any pics as you requested. I now have to say, however, that I am an ex-Espada owner having sold it at Easter to an enthusiast who will keep it here in NZ. It getting harder to drive these cars the way they should be, even in our...

Hi Arvid Thanks for that. I did manage to clean the contacts insitu and, touch wood, I haven't had any problems since so it might be that over time the contacts just get oxidised and cleaning them up can help. But you're right, its a tight space and I made the mistake of, when changing the...

Hi Arvid That's OK, mine seems to be working again as well so I'm not touching it until I have to! Cheers Peter

Hi Arvid I was wondering whether your replacement Lada oil pressure sender worked? I wasn't sure whether this was for a 3200 GT though? Thanks. Regards Peter

Did anyone find out whether there was a generic Fiat or similar replacement for the oil pressure sensor that causes so much trouble? Thanks. Regards Peter

Handbook for Becker Mexico Thanks for that Tony, yes I found the right one. I'd been on the site before but hadn't managed to find the archive so the link was really helpful. I see the volume leveller function and so I will try and adjust it. I thought there was something wrong with it to start...

Hi Tony Certainly looks like it. It'll be near enough I'm sure. What I've noticed with my unit is that when the car gets louder, the stereo gets louder (!) and I suspect it might have an automatic volume levelling feature but if not, I'd still like to get a bit more detail about the features. I...

Hi All Does anyone have a copy of the manual for the Becker Mexico CC head unit in the 3200GT? My car is a 1999. There isn't much in the handbook but it does mention an additional book that of course is not there. If someone has a scanned copy or could scan a copy I'd be grateful! Thanks...

You'd be welcome, Bruce! Regards Peter

Thanks very much for that Bruce. I wondered if it might be easier from the front scuttle. Yes, I'm hoping it is just debris as at high fan speed its not a problem just the lower speeds so I'm hoping its just debri. It works well enough, otherwise. God I hope so after looking at what you had to...

Hi Guys Can anyone tell me what is the best way to access the blower motor for the climate control system? My motor is working but making a very annoying clicking noise so I think its needs some attention. Just not sure what is the best way to get to it. Thanks.

Hi Dave, so what you're saving is you think it might be fairly normal? Christchurch, where I live, still has pretty rough roads after the earthquakes we had in 2010/11 so it's not conducive to a car set up for smooth autobahns to be quite honest but I wondered if there was anything else I should...

Yes, its been installed but only recently but has tensioned up fine. When you take the old one off the car you'll see it has exactly the same part number stamped (040) on the side as shown for the Mitsubishi part shown on Ebay. Maserati has borrowed a lot of bits from other cars and...

Hi Guys, just asking for a bit of advice here on a hard ride of my 3200. I had both RHS shocks repaired when I first bought car and on smooth roads ride is OK but any small pothole or dip and there is a fair bit of suspension "crash" and the ride is harsh. There are no warning lights so I'm...

Hi Guys I replaced my tensioner when doing the cambelt but the part is actually a Mitsubishi item originally off the 3.0 V6 turbo/non-turbo engine of that era (~1990s). It was quite cheap purchased from the States but you'll probably find it locally OK. An OEM supplier will provide it...

Yes, I tend to agree. However, this may be of interest. I have just discovered it is indeed a Mitsubishi part from the Nineties 3000GT (also turboed) so I may be able to get the part here in NZ. There are a couple of EBay options as well. Thanks Peter

Hi All, it's been a while since I've been back on the forum but then the car has been running well! However, it's time to replace the cambelt and we've stripped the front out but we're wondering do people replace the cambelt tensioner? There's no sign of leakage but the car has done 55,000...

That's very helpful Rex. I'm hoping to get a hoist put in at home once I've managed some garage alterations so that'll be a good time to test. My 3200 manual has done 53, 000 miles so it's probably time to start checking that type of stuff. Thanks for your comment about the cars, they are all...

Hi Rex, you mention early diagnosis of endfloat to prevent crankshaft destruction (I think I got that right?) but I wondered how you diagnose whether this is an issue? I hadn't heard about this until I read the Classic Cars mag article but there seems to be some conjecture about how much of a...

Thanks Phil, well it does seem from what you're saying and Bill as well that its likely to be more throttle body related although I think if Davy is making more I'd be wise to take up the opportunity of being on his list (take note Davy!). I know don't mind spending money on improvements, what I...
