guys, my lmst is now very good health after some check up and repairs

can anyone advise me on what items needed to make it comfortable for long journey.

How long is yr car?

Engine mounting still good?

This problem you need to take the meter apart, see links below, may or may not solve the problem. (I have a compilation of these but cannot be attached, probably due to its size 11MB)

You can try change the mounting first if it is already very old since this is the most likely culprit. I think around Rm200-300.

A lot of labour involved?
WIll it be easier to do that together with timing belt change?

car already collcting dust

any idea how to sell off ???

U can post at mudah or garage sales

From what I understand, there are 4 mounting brackets (plus one torque/stabilizer arm); only one mounting is at the timing belt location, so there is a small savings.

my 2007 proton lmst started to show some overheat issue.

It is observed recently after service, changed the distributor seal and the top seal (the one covers the valve heads ?) and some adjustment on the timing. Not sure if any of this related.

Aircond performance seems drop during hot noon hours. Bring to workshop to check air cond, pressure is enough and no other problem and coz the system working well. They say maybe recently hot weather, then i ok lo.

i found out that during hot noon hours, if i stuck at traffic jam with with aircond fan and turn to max, the air does not get cold, After a few stop and goes (rev up and release clutch few times), for few minutes, the water temperature bar will rise to 4 bar. When this happens, i tried to rev as low as i could to get the car moving and it cools down to 3 bar once i manage to hit a long straight, and aircond starts to cool.

Now i m suspecting the car slightly over heat causing the air cond to perform bad also, since the condensers are nearby and releasing heat. Car cooling system is ok also, fan will turn when reaching certain temp, coolant is enough.

And advice? think i should target and service the cooling system? like flush? i am kinda sure the rising to 4 bar is not normal lol.

add extra ground cable at the back of your meter, Temperature gauge will be back to normal. Lmst had this problem, is normal. Unless your both radiator and air cond fan not working.

Guys, normally how much would it cost to change all 4 pcs of our engine mounting?
I asked around and they said better use original Mitsubishi parts for longer and reliable performance.
So how much is it include labor cost? I manage to find 1 site that sell all 4 for rm360 (parts only). Is it normal price @ overpriced?

Mine is LMST 2006 edition BTW.

Any kakis here using GSR for their LMST? I need some advice.

I am planning to change my dashboard to GSR, will there be any problem after changing? I tried Google but cant find much info

Can GSR door trim fit LMST door?

My car is a 2008 LMST

Is the Iswara petrol cap suppose to be able to close in air-tight condition?
Because sometimes I check the tyre and is near the gas cap, I can smell a bit of petrol.

And also, for closing the lid, should we close it as tight as we can twist the cap?

maybe the rubber seal starting to wont out at the petrol cap there. better change a new one

anyone know the iswara front and rear unload spring length ?

Albert, u know ?

My front spring, the side face inside are rusted, and dangerous use. mechanics suggested to change a new set. And any brand suggestion ?

anyone can share their experience about the spring stuff ? Im scare to be cheated

thank you in advance.

Hi guys,

my Saga's alarm goes off when i use the remote key to open/close the door ..
but no problem when i insert the key to do it manually ..

Can any sifu here tell me what are the possible issues? Car battery? Car alarm? Remote battery?

Thanks in advance ..

The page from Haynes is attached. (It is for UK version of the Iswara, not sure if it is same as ours).

From my experience, the cap is quite air-tight, unless the seal is worn or damaged. This is because when I open it, there is pressure released.

I also smell petrol in the same area, but when I open the fuel lid, there is no smell there.

For the LMST, during closing/tightening, it will reach a stage where the clicks start; it indicates slippage meaning the cap is tight. The Iswara cap does not have this feature; there is no thread to tighten and only depends on the pressure of the rubber.
