    The Mitsubishi Typhoid !

    Has a certain ring to it ?

     

    I personally think that the Colt Starion was meant to be 'Stallion' but problems with pronunciation perhaps ?

    Nope.

    Mitsubishi says "Starion" is a contraction of "Star of Orion" — and refers to both a star and the mythical horse, Arion.

    Several sources attribute the name to struggles by Japanese engineers to pronounce the word stallion.[2][3] Automotive journalist Paul Niedermeyer noted that an early Japanese television commercial for the Starion closed with a logo of a stallion's head with the word "Starion" below it. The translation of the voiceover says the name refers to a star and the mythical horse, Arion.[4] The Mitsubishi Colt and Mitsubishi Eclipse featured equine names, with the Eclipse named after the champion racehorse.

  2. Is the dccv working?  

    Does the heater blow hot when turned up to max or colder when turned back to minimum but without ac on?

     

    are all the flaps working??

    Withignition on but no engine running play with the up/down vent controls,  you should hear motors opening and closing vent flaps under the dash.

  3. Nice write up. 

     

    Im just over 2 years into Jaguar ownership and feel the same way.

    the wife quickly came round to my way of thinking when she found my old '99 T reg one and thought it was the X type I liked

  4. Yes, although sealed for life Jaguar changed it and offer the service.

    i read it's recommend at around 70k but as yours is well below that but 16 years down the line it'd be worth it. 

     

    One note of caution though, make sure whoever does it uses the proper Jaguar recommend ATF as "normal" ATF will wreck the box.
