I ended up getting it today (well, yesterday), $125 from Eddy Wreckers. Will fit it probably Wednesday morning. I painted it with high heat paint I had left over. I'll let it dry overnight and cure it tomorrow, and wrap it with heat wrap before fitting. I won't put the heat shield back on, it will a...

I enquired around a bit more. Got another quote from City Dismantlers for $176... ouch! I also called a place dealing with dismantled Mitsubishi parts, the person didn't know CJ Lancer's came in both 2.0 L and 2.4 L! I won't say what company it was to save them the embarassment. So nobody has a 4B12...

Ask them specifically what will be done in the service, and if it's contrary to the manual enquire why. It's usually the case the extra service costs cover any warranty needs, and of course helps with their revenue. The extra warranty is good to have, however the whole concept of a set warranty peri...

Here is a list of mechanics for fixed priced servicing, based on a 2.4 litre Lancer for 135,000 km logbook service. 135,000 km service: https://www.autoguru.com.au/quotes/5ce02b13-f4c9-42da-ac1d-19d6ce4c8d89 You can often get it cheaper than these, it's just a guideline. Check with your user manual ...

I'll also have my 4-1's for sale once (if...) I can get a 4B12 manifold, so it might end being a 4 way thing! I might have a lead on a 4B12 manifold that isn't as much as the $125 quote I got today, I'll let you know tomorrow how that works out. I think you were lucky to get one for $28! I think mos...

A 4B12 manifold from Eddy Wreckers is $125, as I said they can be expensive! If anyone has one I'm willing to pay for postage as long as the price is reasonable. Make me an offer! If in Adelaide I will be willing to drive and pick it up. Seeing as they're $28 when taking it off yourself I think $125...

Well, seems no luck on existing 4B12 members willing to depart with their manifold! I'll check with Eddy Wreckers tomorrow. I'm not overly hopeful in terms of price! It's been a long time since I went to them for a part though, they used to have a store on at 869 South Rd, Clarence Gardens (found it...

I know that Nulon and some other oil companies, may be all? recommend 5w30 oil for my my15 lancer ES 4B11 engine and realise that thinner oil gives you better economy. I prefer to run with Nulon 1o-40 full synthetic and have used it since it became available and have used it ever since. When your o...

Exactly what I was thinking, and hoping!

Penrite HPR 5 5W-40 fully synthetic. That's what the garage uses, which is good as it would be what I'd use anyway. The oil recommendation selector for most oils say 0W, but I think that's too thin.

Yeah I saw that! I found at times they can be super expensive. I'll give them a try in a couple of weeks when I've given up hope elsewhere .

@Mooman
Thanks, that would be great!

Could be a bearing in the alternator or one of the pulleys.

After reading the forum post of putting a 4B12 manifold on the 4B11 engine that has the 4-1 street extractors, I would like to do the same myself. http://clubcj.net/viewtopic.php?f=73&t=21732 I too currently have 4-1 street extractors with a 2.0 L CVT, and am keen to try the 4B12 2.4 L exhaust m...

Out of curiosity, what is the mileage you have on the car?
