So MOT day and a big fail due to front brakes imbalanced across axle and nearside brake excessively binding. Even had the brake squealer sounding the other day after just 1500 miles. To say I am pissed off is an understatement.. I told the dealer it was a physical problem since they changed...

Yes, it is a mitsubishi service centre - they are a bit thin on the ground now that Mitsubishi have pulled out of the UK.

I always laugh and mimic her when she says 'Go straight' :-D

That was also what I suggested to them when it first occurred.... they've said they will reset the batteries so have booked it back in for a couple of days. On way back today I went from 265 mile range to 197miles in 20 miles..... told her that - not interested. When talking to the engineer...

Hi I've had my Phev for 6 years and have not had a moment's problem with it. At the last service they changed the front pads for the first time at 65k miles. All good I thought ...however I have since noticed really excessive petrol consumption. On my commute to work of 6 miles with a...

Hi everyone, I've noticed recently that my car is no longer defrosting itself - which is a real pain! I don't like having to scrape in the mornings :-) The settings are all ok, so I'm wondering whether the fuse has gone? Has anyone had a similar problem? Do you know if it shares a fuse...

found a way to clear it... by getting into engineer menu, holding down settings and map together until menu appears.

its a company car which has been leant to another employee but the handsfree system is locked and we need to clear it so she can connect her mobile to be able to drive safely. There are no dealerships nearby. Would appreciate any help you can offer. Thanks

I've had my car for 15 months, and have been very very careful with the flap due to reading all these posts. Had my car serviced the other day...all was great then. Now though the flap has started catching on the body work. Makes a dreadful clanking noise and is starting to take the paint off...

I used my Phev to tow my 1500kg caravan to Bordeaux last year (and 3 trips to Cornwall). I had to fill up 3 times on the French side - but overall performance was good - a very smooth, relaxed and easy drive. MPG worked out at around 23-24 mpg on the way down, and a bit closer to 20mpg on the...

Definitely use charge all the time when towing. It prolongs the SOC. I have driven 150 miles with a 1500kg van incl. some seriously long steep hills (telegraph hill in Devon) and arrived at my destination with 25-30% charge left. Turn off charge when you get to the site though, as its lovely...

I have a 30 mile commute each way, up and downhill for 15 miles at the start (mendips to somerset levels) , amd uphill at the end on my return. Since May, when I got the car, I have measured my consumption with fuelly. My overall average is 65.8 mpg - but that includes multiple trips away with...

I left it a few hours, tried it again, without touching any of the doors, and it worked. Remains to be seen what happens today... will it start playing up again I wonder? Mitsubishi rescue cover (whatever they are called) are going to call me today, so I'll have a chat with them too...

Hi all I've had the car for 10 months and love it. Its been faultess. However tonight on returning home I discovered that pushing the door handle button on the car did not lock the car. Neither did either of the keys. None of the doors/boot are open and the car is switched off. Has anyone...
