Hello, today there was a bad awakening for me and my wife. In autumn last year we had bought a Colt CZC, EZ 2009. So far everything was ok with the car, for two weeks, however, the car is wet in the morning when it rained inside on the driver’s side. On the next rain ride it is noticed that in fact when the window is closed, water is invading somewhere on the upper window frame and running down the window and door inside. Also, wind noise indicates that there is The local Mitsubishi dealer here in Münster said that it is not necessary to re-set the window, but to install new sealing rubbers. Price incl. installation should move around the 500-600 €! However, a spare part with part number MN301524 (old number, or MN301777 (new part number) is no longer available and is no longer produced. Therefore, the car can not be repaired. An old version is not available. In addition to the trouble that the spare parts supply for a 10 year old vehicle is already being adjusted, I hope that someone can give me a tip on how to get the window sealed. In Ebay/Ebay classifieds I did not find out and also a googel search did not yield any sources for the window seal. I already played with the thought to locate the leak precisely. and then apply a rubber patch from a bicycle tyre repair kit there, hoping that this thickening is enough to close the gap between the rubber and the window. However, I still shy away from making the leak more difficult for fear. However, the spot cannot remain untreated, since a cloth placed between the door and driver’s seat is soaked on the ground the next morning and starts to smell unpleasantly. I really hope that someone here can help me with one or the other tip.

It is worth repairing the clutch
My girlfriend has been the owner of a 20-year-old Mitsubishi Space Star for a year. Since she doesn’t have much money, the purchase of these cars for 300 € made sense, because she needs a car for work. The car was driven solidly this year, we had 700 € at repair costs so far. Now I wonder if this is going on so uncomplicatedly, or if at some point bigger repairs come (coupling, timing belts). Small things are already broken. in the wobble contact, the radio has broken the power stage (material costs 200 €). Do you have any idea what else can come up with? Maybe she should exchange the car for a younger one after all, but she doesn’t want to spend more than 3000 €.

Highline navigation system for radio exchange at 75 where I get an adapter from
Hello, my newly bought 75 has the high-line known navigation system with TV function, which I would like to exchange for a commercial radio with ISO plug to be able to hear a bit of Lala. On my radio is the radio function deffect, which is not displayed at all on the display you can hear no music and so on, Navi itself works. I have the unit once developed only the 2 very special plugs where I found so far no adapter In order to connect a standard radio, there is not even an antenna cable available. Although this is rather the smaller problem could live up to a seperate radio antenna. I need quasi an adapter from the connections see picture on ISO plug, only where do I get such a thing ? p.s. knows someone whether on one of the plugs directly the speakers are controlled, or do they also run over anything that sits in the back trunk ? If the over the one plug directly You might be able to patch up an iso plug, from which others only + pick up and install a separate antenna and you should be able to listen to music. mdf Overroller

Sell or keep Rover 75 1.8T?
Hello dear car fans! I have the following “problem”: My Rover 75 1.8 T Celeste L from 2005 has a defective gearbox / camshaft and the repair will cost about 1.500 Euro. Now my partner thinks I should sell it because it is so old and again and again bigger repairs occurred. In the meantime it is since November, because I could not decide for a repair or sale so far (and wanted). Actually the plan was my “James” (yes, my car has I asked several suppliers what a treatment would cost and we advised ALL not to do so. The car would not be worth it, because there will soon be no spare parts, because it has no olditimer potential or qualities, because Jaguar would be better, because… My James is elegant, sleek and beautiful, but in the years. Is a preparation worth her money or I throw my money out of the F Does anyone know anyone who is familiar with the preparation of British cars and can advise me here? Thank you for your support! Dio

Is in Germany quite an EXOT what should I know about this car before buying it? Greeting JD

Rover 214 si, immobilizer help
Hello, this car has been driving for 12 years. Now it’s the case that both stations no longer work properly. Are both too weak, despite new batteries. (we checked in a normal car workshop) I didn’t get any code back then (I only read in the user manual that there is such a thing at all). The dealer who sold the car to me also doesn’t exist anymore. Here in the radius of 50 km, I can’t find a Rover workshop. I can’t just find the immobilizer. I don’t really need it! I’m afraid that I won’t be able to leave soon, as I often push around on the stupid station for minutes and don’t like it. What can I do now? Need help Greeting Dani P.S. I don’t have any idea of a car.

I couldn’t open the driver’s door of my Rover 75 two days ago.The car key turned to the void.My car mechanic drilled out the cylinder to open the door manually with a screwdriver (it probably works with other cars), unfortunately not with the Rover 75.A mechanism then even lowered all the door buttons in the doors.The remote control is also without function.The trunk comes with the Rover 75 auc The passenger door has no locking mechanism! Now I have a great car with new winter tyres and I can’t even get in. Door handle, as well as door lock cylinders are already dismantled. What now? Please help me.
