Re: Warning - Factory Workshop Manual Pages Turning to Dust
It the only book so affected so I assume the shiny coating has a high accident content or something. No sign of silverfish either and all my bookshelves are also coated with insect surface spary to discourage them.

Warning - Factory Workshop Manual Pages Turning to Dust
Just tried to use my Factory Australian Mitsubishi Workshop Manual Chassis Volume Pub. No. WE890346 to check the circuit diagram and found most of those shiny sort of plasticized circuit diagram pages had turn to dust and of course the one covering the Australian Hatchback was the worse effected. So...

Re: Slow Winsdcreen Wipers
Also check that longer than stock blades have not been fitted (as people often do). The longer blades will greater windscreen coverage than the pitiful coverage the very short stock ones do, but the extra friction will slow the wipers down and also stress the motor.

Re: solex downdraft masters please respond
Try an Ultrasonic cleaner first. If all else fails (this is a last resort nothing to lose measure) soak it for no longer that 5 minutes in strong solution of liquid toilet cleaner (Harpic, Sanifresh, Snowbowl or whatever) and water. This acid solution will attack and clean away the aluminium oxide (...

Re: LC rear bumper end cap
Scorpion bumpers would I think look better but are probably as hard to find as Lancer bumpers. On reflection rather than being sectioned perhaps the cut and weld was to get the Sigma bumper to line up parallel to the Lancer rear end.

I have seen a Sigma front rear bar on a Lancer here it WA.
