I have a 2000 Carisma 1.8 GDi and my console display is simply showing the word 'LOCK' following the battery going flat. The radio works OK but of course there is no display of which station you are tuned to and no clock etc. I'm struggling to tell night from day without the clock!! Any idea how to recalibrate this/unlock the display without paying the dealer?

I have a 2002 Carisma. A fantastic car, unfortunately the display (clock, outside temp, miles per gallon etc) is now blank and my factory fitted CD player/radio (although works) cannot be controlled. It will play a CD without being able to skip tracks and the radio works on only one station! The radio also fails to illuminate when on. Garage told me I need new display at £420.00 plus fitting,...

I purchased a 1997 registered Mitsubshi carisma 1.8 GLX 16V recently. It was advertised as being a GDI. However when I look at the engine it does not say GDI on it which I thought it would. Also I have read that the GDI was introduced in Oct 1997 which would make it an R reg. My car is a P reg so I think it must have been produced before the GDI was introduced. Can anyone help?

I Recently had the pleasure of working on a DA2A Carisma Imported from New Zealand. It presented with occasional stalling, and would sometimes take up to 2 hours to restart. After reading this forum i came to the conclusion that it might be the IAC/AAC valve. I replaced it and to no avail. I did some extra searching and talking to many friends in the industry to find out that there is a way for...

Folks,
I'm thinking about getting the above for my wife. We've outgrown her VW Polo hatchback since our little princess arrived. The car I'm looking at is a 2004 1.3 Petrol with 54k on the clock.
Anything in particular I should be checking for ? Advice appreciated.

I disconnected the engine breather pipe from the inlet just before the throttle valve on my 2000 1.8 GDI. I fitted a small filter on the end of the pipe and blocked off the air feed. I have heard that even that it feeds air to the top of the cam covers oil still gets in the inlet tract. This is very true as I can see oil in the small filter I fitted and this oil is deposited on the throttle...

I have a 2000 Carisma which I bought as used. I did not get any remote for locking and the previous owner just turned the key. There are different kits for sale on ebay but it appears that they can only be wired in if the locking is not controlled by the ECU. Can anyone shed any light on the feasibility of wiring one of these or where to start. Many thanks

Just a quick word of advice based on my out of pocket experience:
If you have a yellow light on and the car is using 20% more fuel AND is over 40k miles OR you haven't had a new oxygen sensor for 40k miles then the probable cause is the sensor as they only last 40k miles approx, once the sensor dies the cars brain runs of default settings - hence the 20% more fuel use.

The other question - poor economy. Computer shows 38-45mpg and I'm having an impression (not quite sure though) that economy improves a lot when the...
