Does anyone know if the lighter socket is wired directly to the fusebox?

I know the lighter socket is only powered when the ignition is on, but I need to add a reverse diode to bypass this so that I can add a solar panel to re-charge the battery when the car is sitting in the driveway (i.e. the power will be going into the battery instead of away from it).

The best place to do this would be in the back of the main fuse box but I dont know if the power goes Battery--Ignition--Regulator--Fuse--Socket.

We have the above car (2002 model) which we are very happy with.
We have a warning light on the dashboard which is illuminated and we therefore tooh the car to our local garage. However he is having problems as the diagnostic readout tells him that the Lamda sensor is faulty. Problem is that being a diesel it does not have one. He has tested the EGR sensor thinking that it was probablt this but it was not.
Apart from the light, the only symtom we have of something being wrong is a lack of power at low revs - a corner you would usually take in second, you have to take in first.
Does anyone have any ideas or any pointers for us? Unfortunately we are many miles away from a main dealer.
Many thanks

anybody know if a suspension strut can be rebuilt and if upper bearings can be replaced

Hi,

I have recently had to replace the left hand headlight bulb on a 2003 RHD 1.9 diesel Spacestar, and it is best to move the battery to give more space, although, as I found, not absolutely necessary. The thing is, the battery is held in by retaining lugs on the rear of the battery tray, and a big black plastic clip on the front side...but how does this work? It has an invitingly large handle area at the front, which you would assume needs to be either pulled upwards or pushed down, to effect a cam lock onto the battery, but with reasonable amount of force, nothing happens? Anyone know what to do here, before I break something?

Also, I am looking at adding remote keyless entry to the manual, driver door only system the car has already. My local dealer fits a Cobra system, but I do not like the fobs. Anyone fitted an Rightclick system ( rclick.co.uk ) to the Spacestar? It looks like the Spacestar uses temporary switching to earth from operation of the internal door switch or the driver key barrel switch, which then instructs the ECU to fire the door actuators, and therefore, it should be possible to use any kit that utilises miniaturised relays with normaly closed / open and common terminals. However, most of the aftermarket kits seem to require another actuator for a driver door only system. Is this right? I'm not sure it is, but I wouldn't mind a second opinion!

Thanks for any help.

i have a spacestar did equipe,does anybody know where i can source a f/l suspension leg, does another car/model or completely differant make of car like the volvo estste has the same brake shoes,have the same part,i think the upper bearings are cupot..ive changed the lower wishbone/ball joint but still have a nocking every time i hit a bump or simliar

I have just found a possible fault with my dads new space star, you cant put the passenger side window down using the switch for the electric window on the passenger side you can only do it up. The driver is the only one that can put the window down using the controls for the windows on the drivers side. Is this normal or not.

Thanks

My dad have bought a 51 plate space star and he told me to go and unlock the boot and when i went to do so the lock can turn through 360 degrees right the way around. You can still unlock and lock the boot but instead of stopping when its open or locked you can turn the key right the way around. The car has central locking is this normal or not

where can i buy some front and rear brake pads for my space star 51 plate. and can i do anything to stop them from sticking all the time or the calippers sticking.
please and thank you.

Does anybody know a cheaper way of geting a fob ie less than the £180 my local dealer charges

hi.
our space star (2004) lately always stalls when we arrive in the mountains, usually when we are going uphill.
does anybody have any suggestion on what this might be?
thanks,

I bought a used 2000 Space Star whithout the Owner`s Manual someone knows where I can download one.....please. thanks in advance

Our 6 year old 1.8GDI Space Star has an intermittent brake problem.

Sometimes all four brakes lock on or the brake pedal sometimes becomes very sensitive. It is worse after being stuck in slow moving traffic for a while but can happen on the motorway as well.

Usually the result is a light juddering and loss of power but occasionally it can be quite severe. After parking up and allowing the car to cool down everything is OK.

Unfortunately the fault never happens when the car is with the garage for investigation.

Any ideas please?

regards.

Hello there, I'm new here. I own Mitsubishi Space Star, 2004. Any remarks on maintennance and problems could be valuable for me. I also have a problem - my handbook (user's guide) is on German language, but I can use English or French. Could you help me how can I find them (PDF is good also).
Best regards

anyone know how to remove the front bumper?

I'd like to replace the grills with mesh similar to the black one in the garage

My wife has a mitsubishi space star and after an MOT it was noted that the electric wire is broken on the power steering pump. The power steering still works fine, but I'm told the warning light won' t come on to the dashboard. I can fix the wire myself but I dont know where it goes ?? Any ideas ??.

Also I need to source another light mechanism for the interior of the car ? Where would be the best place to get one ?

Thank you

i have a did space star and wondered if its men to have side skirts on it as i have seen a few with them on but mine doesnt.

does anyone know how much a centre rear headrest would cost on a 2000 x-reg space star 1.3 glx

Hello,
I have noticed that recently i have had a lot of weird noises coming from my space star.
when driving along straight i hear a whirring noise yet when turning left or right it stops yet when i go straight again it starts again. This seems to only start when the car has been runing for about 10 minutes etc.
also when i brake it stops i have had a problem with the brakes not releasing properly but had thought that was fixed ages ago.
hoping someone can help me out on these as i need to get it fixed and want to go in explaining what is wrong and not get ripped off.

Really looking for some advice
Cheers,
Helen

Hi there mike here for the first and prob not the last time. I wonder if anyone can help, my wifes car keeps cuttin out at low idle . I took it to a garage and put it on a plug in thingy and they said there was no fault recorded in the memory. I am afraid to take it to a local mitsi dealer only to be charged £65 an hour plus vat to be told the same thing. When i drove the car i took it on the motorway at keep at aconstant 70 and it felt like it was holding back. Although when on the move it goes ok it is a major problem when it cuts out all time. It seems worse when it is warm!. Any ideas please,Thanks a lot , Mike

There have been a nr of questions about these two but I dont see any real result !

1. Has anyone replaced the Lights-Left-On buzzer unit, under dash by steering wheel, my local Mitsubishi dealer says its the unit which has failed, not the door switch, but he doesnt know/cant find the recommended replacement part nr. ! !

2. What is the 're-boot' procedure after the battery, or battery connections, have been removed, I believe this can remove some of the ECU memory ?

Hi, I'm new to the site and I have a 2002 spacestar. It has a mitsubishi radio in it which has controls for a cd player but doesnt have one so I assume a cd changer can be added on. Just wondering if anyone knows where do I get a changer that will work with it or alternatively, I do have an old cd changer but it doesnt have the connection lead that is required so does anyone know if I can use it and get a lead with a universal connection, would that fit or should I just get a new cd changer altogether. Sorry bit of a ramble. Hope someone can help me.

my warning light is staying on and dont know the reason why. Any suggestions

spacestar. mot recently and brakes fine

Hi,
I have just bought a 1999 spacestar at auction. It is a 1.8 GDI with 74000 miles and a full mitsubishi service history.

The oil pressure light has been flashing on and off intermittently, however the oil level is fine and there seems to be oil circulating around the whole engine. I changed the oil and filter yesterday and the level has remained constant.

It runs really smoothly and quietly with no smoke or steam, and the temperature does not rise above the middle of the gauge.

The next stage is to check the pressure switch, I have bought a replacement from my local parts supplier, it is an intermotor IN50811, however it looks different to the part shown on the Japarts website:

Intermotor:


Japarts:


Do I have the correct part? Also, where is the switch located on the engine, I would also like to know if there is a haynes type manual available for the car.

Thanks

Ps I am in West Sussex.

Hello, just wondered if anyone can help. My year 2000 Spacestar 1.8 GDI has failed to start on two occasions. Both times the car fired up, then immediately died and then just turned over. The first time I called a friend for advice and a few hours later went back to the car to check a few basic things and the car started fine straight away without me doing anything. It was fine for a couple of weeks but then the same thing happened again. This time I called a garage and they came and collected the car. At the garage the car started first time, they have had it over a week and every time they try to start it it fires up no problem, also no fault has been logged on the engine management system.

Just wondered if anyone has expierenced anything similar and if so what the cause was.

Many thanks.

My Space star 2002 model Has been back to the garage 6 time regarding rain leaking into the driver side door area, and customer services are not very helpfull .

has anyone else had this problem , any surgestions

Hi

I've just purchased a Space Star 1.8 GLX GDI 2000 Plate and i'm looking for any body kits or Mods for this model.

The reason i purchased her is because my wife gave birth to our first child 6mths ago and we felt that we needed something bigger than my Mazda MX-3 and she fits the bill. The only problem is i'm not overall happy with her looks and her cornering but other than that she's a great car.

Any help with information of where i can find kits and uprated suspension would be very much appreciated. I have my eye on a nice set of alloys though.

Hi
I am new to the forum and joined after search in googles. The reason is that the rev. needle of my mits. spacestar (1.8 equipe petrol) is fluctuating and ocassionaly engine stalls while waiting in long ques or on traffic lights etc.
I have been told to replace the throttle body which is a very expensive business.
Is there any alternative?

Thanks
khalidrad

dear all,

i have just obtained a GDI elegance spacestar 2000 x reg on auto box.

it has a tendancy to cut out when you select drive or reverse, what could be causing this please?

if i blip the throttle enough to get it in gear and move off straight away it drives faultlessly until you come to a junction and you have to stop then the car will cut out, but starts straight away, again as soon as you put it back in to drive or reverse it cuts out. this happens when engine is hot or cold.

any ideas where to start looking for this prob???

when should the cam belt be changed ie what is the mileage or age which ever comes sooner??

regards

Hello,
i'm italian and I'm going to buy a new car.
I'm in love with Space Star 1.3 Comfort plus, but I'm worry regarding the availability of the spare parts since I make few kilometers and the car is at her end of life cicle (this are the rumours here in italy..).
All my past cars lasted 10-14 years....
So I'm worry about the difficulty to find spare part in the future (i.e 8-10 years from now...ie 2016....)
Can you please tell me about your spare part Mitsubishi policy?
Can you kindly comment my doubt?

I now they sold more then 200.000 space star in Europe with italy MS of about 20%

Thank You


ps: is it true that Space Star is end of life ?

Having problems selecting 1st gear - have been told it might be the gear box needs adjusting?? Can't find any details for this on the on-line manuals you download, also cannot find a haynes manual for 2001 spacestar. Any suggestions - only has 43,000 on clock - thanks

hi everyone, I'm new to these boards but i was wondering if anyone could help me?

Recently i have purchased a year 99 space wagon. everything has been fine until last few weeks when the car was taking a couple of attempts to start but when it would start it would seem to lose power without cutting out whilst the car was stationary.
Then last week the car would not start so we jumped started it and that was fine. the next day the battery was totally dead so we replaced the battery. Everything was fine but then around 6 hours later the new battery was dead. Our neighbour who is a mechanic came to have a look nad siad that because the doors wer not flush the drivers door light was staying on which drained the battery. The lights were disconnected and left overnight. The next day the car started but lost power and cut out straight away, though the radio would work so we knew the battery wasn't to blame.

We had a couple of suggestions such as the alternator was faulty, so we called an auto electrician who said that if the car was starting but then cutting out and the radio was working it wouldn't need an auto electrician to look at this. So we called an tuning company who came out and they said it was the body throttle adn would cost around £1200 to get this fixed. He said he had done something has a tempory measure and at the moment the car works fine e.g starting and not losing power. Does anyone know what it maybe or has experienced similar kind of problems and what was the fault, as i don't fancy paying out £1200 on an item when imay not be needed

Hi,
I am a new Space Star owner in France. I accidently left the light on and found my battery dead.

I took the batery out and re-charged it, but after that, there is a piece sticking out on the speedometer that stops it from showing the speed.

Does anyone know how I can fix it?

The basturd delear in my town said he needs to change it and it will cost me 250 euros (290 dollars). Which is outragous.

I desperately need your help, because I am leaving to see my dream game at the world cup in Germany on Wednesday morning. I waited for 6 months for those tickets and can not afford to loose them and can not afford the 250 euro either.

My car is a Mitsubish Space Star 1.9 DID, of 2003 model.


Really appreciate your help,

I have recently purchased a 2001 Spacestar 1.8 GDI. The dealer advises that the engine oil is specially formulated by Castrol, and is available only from them at £15 a litre. Can anyone advise on this matter? Do I really need to pay so much for my oil?

Hello,

I have been looking for a Mitsubishi Space Star repair manual for a long time on the Internet but I've never found.
I would like to dismount my "central console" ( I'm sure it's not the good expression at all but I don't know how to say... ) where are the radio, the ventilation,...
So if anybody has an information about it, please tell me.
Thanks
