I'm busy swapping parts from my recall-affected NL and my 11/99 airbagged NL that isn't affected. Renewed my Vic rego two weeks ago for three months. Rego went through without any issues.

I highly doubt that a fix will become available in Australia and if it does, what about the owners of the bought back NL's?
Wouldn't they be peeved off that they did what they did... Sorry but I think there won't be a Fix for Australia... Its too far gone for that now...
All owners should have banded together and mounted a Legal Challenge, but sadly that is too late as well... The Precent has been set...

Sadly surrendered my NL in to mitsi dealer re recall. It was due for rego, insurance and the LPG system tank was due for 10 year inspection. It was going to cost me too much to keep it on the road with no guarantee it could be defected as an unsafe vehicle at anytime in the near future. Was told that mitsi is so far behind in making payments that cars which were surrendered in March are still waiting for settlement. Looks like it's going to be a long wait.NW diesel auto

If they can't give you immediate or near immediate payment then I reckon they shouldn't be able to take your car.
It's not as if they let you drive a new car off the lot and give your months to pay them for it.
Maybe you should ask for interest as well2010 NT Activ, DiD+lazy shift. Bushskins+Boo's, Kings springs+Monroe shocks+Firestone Airbags, MM towbar, MM nudgebar.

All this (about $800 in parts plus my labour) is getting her ready for a major "post border opening" trip to the mainland. If I had capitulated to MMAL and sold my NL to them and then bought another vehicle I would have done the same (and more) to put my mind at rest that it would be reliable enough for a major trip. I have owned the NL for 20 years and know it inside out and now it's ready for another chapter in its life.

We also have now had reports of mitsi here in perth refusing to honor the money spent with receipts to prove it - one of our members had a full engine rebuild by their local dealer and had reciepts --- it was 13 months before they got the recall and they went in and were told reciepts are only valid if under 12 months old.... they have taken the vehicle home to strip it themselves as they can get more for a freshly built engine than mitsi were going to give them1994 NJ 3.0 now with a 2000NL 3.5 engine and driveline, 2.5 catback, 32" MT Deegan 38's, 1" body lift, front diff drop with front tension rods indexed and cranked an 3", 3" on the rear coils

I heard of one particular workshop in Sydney that is offering "rebuild invoices" for $100 and people getting lots more $$$$ from MMAL... Have a chat your local mechanic.. It's not like they are going to strip down the motor / Transmission / Transfer case or Diff to confirm...
just saying....

From my understanding, if your vin is on the list but you just happen to have a car with no airbag you take it in and get inspected and your vin taken off the list, because they obviously made a mistake with your car being included in the list.......

Originally posted by Scrambler View PostNot that I was taking it back to the same dealership, but I can confirm that is Mitsubishi's position. I had receipts for more than they paid. I could fortunately pick up a car for the amount they offered, but it was an 'on paper' loss of nearly 1/2 the money spent. I had only owned the car for 18 months. Luckily (if that's the right word??) the clutch replacement was new and got factored in.
as someone in the automotive trade I have a huge amount of work/time on mine with no receipts. I have not handed it back in and wont be doing so at any stage. if it means I strip mine and build another then thats what I will do1994 NJ 3.0 now with a 2000NL 3.5 engine and driveline, 2.5 catback, 32" MT Deegan 38's, 1" body lift, front diff drop with front tension rods indexed and cranked an 3", 3" on the rear coils
