Mitsubishi Lancer Maintenance Restoration After Partial Burn Out

[omersiddiqui5482]

So the lock pic I told you I would share. If you notice closely the metal is actually worn off by the passage of time. Due to which the latch has to be pulled up a bit hence the Gap in the boot lid

Mean while the interior: (Mashallah) needs detailing though

Mean while some pics i found on ebay. thinking of ordering this brochure.

Had to change the oil switch today since I observed that the oil levels were infact low and the switch should be indicating that on the cluster but it was not. Turns out the oil switch was leaking and not working had to change that. Also changed the engine oil. This time Hyundai Xteer 10w40. Got the accelerator cable adjusted the car was idling at 1500 rpm which is alot.

Old switch

New switch

Hyundai Xteer 10w40. Price was 2550 for 4ltrs.. the oil looks promising.

Good job. As per my friends who runs oil business. He says Hyundai oil is imported dabba pack and far better than zic which is now being packed in Multan.

[omersiddiqui5482]

That is why i switched from Halvoline to Hyundai. I have noticed a change of sound in the car, the engine seems to be a bit more quite.

Can anyone guide me where i can get the whole exhaust system changed from standard to Stainless Steel.

Had read ur long long story was interesting though and thankx for #nabeel bhai who helped u from day one and some others and are u medical student or graduate pharmacy book seen in ur pics u are great!!! With ur sentiments.

[omersiddiqui5482]

Jazakallah for the interest Bhai. No I am not a medical student. But there is one dare devil in my family whose books you are seeing in the pics...

[pwuser154677206269]

Dare devil is there by looking from the books worst halat ufff meri tou saaf terain hain i am thinking of to get at a point where i could sell them as new ones

[omersiddiqui5482]

The car is now in my almost daily use I usually drive it like 40-50kms a week since I have another car with me... It is holding on pretty well mashallah. A couple of noises here and there nothing that can't be done by my self...

While driving today I noticed that the electric fuel pump is making an unusual noise. Then I got myself a new pump which is under warranty for 3 months and installed it myself. Works perfectly mashallah

[pwuser152533991444]

Electric fuel pump requires a fuel return line.Make sure to do it

[omersiddiqui5482]

Jazakallah @pwuser152533991444. For the concern. Yes that is in order.

I had been looking for an original period appropriate radio/ stereo for my car just to give it a proper look. Was not able to go to shershah and such radios are not available at magazine lane so kept on searching. But no luck. These look something like these references.

I am still in search for these if anybody has them, knows someone who has them or see these somewhere kindly let me know.

Mean while I was lucky enough to find a really good condition radio/cassette player in my own home. It belongs to a Honda Civic we had years ago and is in working condition. Quite clean actually. So for time being attached this. It has not been wired yet but just for the sake of the look.

[dayrider]

since its a daily driver, use a modern radio, unless you aren't a fan of music... then go ahead and find an old show piece radio

[omersiddiqui5482]

already have a modern USB AUX player @dayrider bhai. Although Cheap but works fine. Also i try to drive the car atleast once in a week and at max 40-50kms. else i use my Khyber.

[dayrider]

got that back from your cousin?

[nnabeel]

yar if u are not using CNG, then go for the mechanical fuel pump. these Chinese pump are idiots and will give u trouble at places where u cant think .

i had these in my civic and it broke off in the night at 3 while coming from airport. i had to open the bonnet, beat it with hammer, it works for few mins and then again i had to beat....doing this way i finally reached from airport to johar mor where finally it stopped. after that incident i had to change 3 approx which gave away with the usage of 2 days or 3 days (although they were in warranty but installing them and then removing them was hassle.

so i installed the manual one which was costly but its worth it.

[omersiddiqui5482]

@nnabeel bahi i am of the same mind too but the thing is i don't want to install a kabli one and a new one is something i cant afford this month. Inshallah it is next on my list of things.

[omersiddiqui5482]

Yup had to get the khyber back.
