Conquest Intercooler

Have the same problem, and got quoted from Mitsubishi NZ$200 for a genuine replacement. Not sure which way to go, custom or genuine.

Hydraulic oil valve missing on Sirius Dash head

The hydraulic oil valve is missing from my Sirius Dash head. ( the piece that disengages the additional valves).
Can someone tell me whether this piece is essential for the dash head to work?
Cheers.

Gearbox weight and dimensions

Hi all
I have just purchased a 1983 Starion gearbox from Auckland, and need to arrange freight. But before arranging freight I need to know the weight and dimensions of the gearbox
Looking forward to your answers so that I can get my car on the road again. :)
