G'Day Everyone,
Being a time-poor kind of individual, there are moments where one needs to recognise the skills of others and handball these jobs on to those who are knowledgable. Do I do my own plumbing? Well, no unless you count my water-cooled PC.
So, I dropped off a quick email to Chadstone Mitsubishi (Melbourne) to see what servicing a Legnum would be like. The response I got this morning was promising.
So there you have it. Some ballpark figures and the like for everyone's enjoyment. With the timing belt service looming, sometimes it'll be good to go to someone who can readily get the parts. It'd be funnier still if I quoted part numbers straight from their CAPS database. Of course, I think Loki will get the service every 10,000km (recommended servicing schedule as per the manual?). I've booked in for the 13th November so it gives them plenty of time to look it up and bring stuff in. It'd be nice to have a few service centres sprinkled around the cities to give people a chance to drop it in where it's most convenient as well.
That being said, there's a certain "NatRad" in South Melbourne who's had this car for a total of three days getting bits and pieces sorted out!
A loan car can be provided for $44.00 from Mitsi to cover fuel and insurance. I wonder if they'll let me take an EVO-X out for a spin?

Mitsubishi Chadstone said:Hi Gavin,
We dont have any service information or cost for your vehicle (VR-4 Legnum). However we can provide a service schedule book for an Australian version of a similar type of vehicle.
The 60,000km service cost will be $238.00. Service intervals are every 15,000km and for turbo charged vehicles, engine oil should be changed every 5,000km.
Automatic transmission flush with SP-3 fluid will cost $185.00.
To flush out AYC and ACD fluid will cost $148.50 plus cost of oil (oil flush on similar vehicles takes approx 2.5L to 3.0L of SP-3 Fluid). However fluid flush for AYC and ACD system is only practical if our MUT-3 can communicate to your vehicle's computer system.
Flushing of AYC and ACD can also be carried out by directly powering up AYC pump and bleeding the system. This method is not recommended but may be the only choice if computers don't communicate. This may also incur extra labour charge.
