The Irish Mitsubishi FTO Owners Club

Unless the fairies come and fix it tonight- il be getting a taxi to work tomorrow- going looking for a cheap run around at the weekend. Not risking it clapping half way down the road or even worse doing damage to myself or someone else.

No it didn't feel overly hot just warm- like normal. Thanks Bernard I might give wards a bell and see will they come in to me- I'm not driving it out. Was a scary drive from work to home- I'm not willing to drive it anywhere at this point.

Hi guys looking for some help with mj's car...... The noise started about a week ago as a slight rumble from the passenger front wheel- stopped a couple of times as I was sure it was a flat(which it wasn't). The noise has gradually gotten louder to a point where it sounds like someone is underneath ...

Oh god its so cute!!! Love the little ears on the back of it - if it was black it would give the bat mobile a run for its money!

If you are a 'bit thick with cars' then best to a mechanic to sort it out- in case its anything serious that needs fixing a.s.a.p

I think all agree with Bernards sentiments!

Nice Tom, very nice...grown up but still nice I see Buddys head in the background- pissy wheels before the scrub I hope!!

Did u do a respray without telling??

Congrats on the sale Lou and congrats on the buy Bart!! Great car for peanuts!! Well wear and dont forget to bring it to meets!!

Does the car not have to have a policy in its own right- I had 2 civics at one stage and had to swap over the insurance each time I wanted to drive the other one???- I wasnt allowed do this extension thing and I had fully comp insurance, 6yr full drivers licence?? I am of the belief that if you cant...

Im with Aviva through a broker- O'Malley Griifin and Im paying €600 fully comp with break down cover included. This topic is live on the dc5 forum now too- a member is finding it very hard to get a quote!

Topcat is black s2k Tom b.t.w- just in case u werent sure!

Langtons is a great spot as ye know anyway. 90's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I effin love th 90's!!!!!!!!!!!!...

Check for rust in the arches or underneath, make sure the tip slids nicely into gear and that the car doesn't jerk when you change up or down, drive it in manual mode to see how smooth it is. Check the belts, and when it was last serviced fully, a full 100K service costs about a grand for waterpump...
