thanks...

Hi all, i've got a knocking/tapping coming from the power steering area which i'm convinced is the tensioner.. i've stethoscoped it and it definitely seems noisy in there.
Due to being under insured warranty, i took it to a main dealer.. typical monkeys said it was possibly due to 'Chunks missing from the power steering belt'. idiots.. why do people trust these...

Hi, I am hoping you may be able to help me.
I have a Carisma 1.8 GDi Auto 1999 V and having the occasional starting problem.
90% of the time fantastic starts up great and purs away.
10% You start her and then she dies almost as if the immobiliser cuts her out, after a while she starts fine and is great.
Any Ideas.
Thanks

Hi , my husband has a Charisma 1.8 GDI Elegance 2001 and the engine managment light came on and then the car stopped. He was towed to a garage where they put a machine on to see what was up, it came up with the following code 92 - ETV-MTR-FB, which the garage bloke had never seen before. We have rung up the nearest Mitsubishi dealership and they wont divulge what this code means. ...

Hello,
I recently bought a Dec 1998 - built Carisma 1.8GDi GLX Auto, 89000-ish miles, very good overall condition. Next service is due at 92000 miles but I'm about to do it soon as I'm planning a longer journey across Europe and am not sure about latest servicing details. This is my first Mitsubishi, so sorry if any of the querries is inappropriate, I just want to be double sure.

newbie here who needs some wisdom bestowed!
I am looking at buying a 2002 1.6 Carisma Classic, 5 door with 75k miles on the clock.
Not sure of service history yet, but what should I look out for with model, mileage and year?
It is very clean inside and out, but the mielage concerns me slighlty, though it is recommended by a friend in the trade.
