:shock: Sorry, but I am a private owner now retired who owns a GX4h first registered on 31 Dec 2014 which to date has done just over 12,000 miles and had its first service at the 12 month point in January with only 8700 miles. So I am “gobsmacked” that there are drivers like yourself, but...

Getting back to the subject. Quote Nick Rufford in the Sunday Times Driving Section on Sunday 17 Jan 16 in an article comparing the Outlander PHEV, the Audi A3 Sportback e-tron and the Toyota Prius (2016 models). On the Outlander he summed it up as the best of the three, but, quote: “There are...

As I have not properly introduced myself since joining last year my details are: 1. Owned since May 2015. Colt Car Retail (CCR) Used Cars; a 5 months old, 2900 mile demo car. 2, GX4h Glacier Blue 3. A non facelift; I would love to trade in for a 17 Reg before 01 April 2017. However, read...

Apologies for not returning to the board sooner. Regarding B6, I do mean on the Paddles. One of the benefits of this car, is that your brake pads should last twice as long as other cars. I too am careful to check my rear view mirror and will touch my brakes if necessary to warn. However, I...

I have one beef about these new car's body styling and it's not just Mitsubishi, Lexus Hybrid NX and RX have it in spades!! This is the "Knight in Armour" Helmet front and visor style grill designs and straight as apposed to sloping bonnets. There was also a SiFi film where the aliens robots...

If any of you lucky fellows are trading in Mk1 PHEV for your new model, your views on the new PHEV would be interesting. I have a used model (ex Demo 64 Reg) and might consider a Mk2 if it could be delivered before 01 April 2017 when the new VED rates come in. My fear is that by then, the...

The 5 year warranty covering the whole Car started in 2015 (15 Reg). Mine is a 64 Reg so is 5 years only on the parts related to the Hybrid system (Batteries, Motors, E-Transmission etc, but not the ICU an those parts that are common to all Outlanders which is 3 Years (incl the Mitsubishi First...

I will tackle this when I get myself some paint (Glacier Blue). I have my own sprayer; one of those Art Shop jobs. I presume the center part of the sensor can be sprayed as well?

I had Rear Sensors fitted by CCR Melksham to my GX4h plus the front "Corner" Sensors. The Fronts were color coord, but the Rears are Black! Looking at the then Accessories list on the Mitsubishi Website it did say that the Rears were Black only so accepted it! See...

I received a response from Mitsubishi Salisbury regarding their technical query up the Mitsubishi Chain. The response was quote ‘‘We have heard this on most PHEV’s that we have driven its just the motors changing direction, it depends what torsional stress is applied to the motor during the...

If this was all happening in the US of A and not UK/Europe I would be more confident. Read Motoring Section of the Sunday Times yesterday! My Car was ex-demo model bought through CCR Motors Melksham, but was from CCR Cheltenham as an ex Demo car with 2,900 miles on the clock, 5 months old...

OK let’s go back to my original Post some months ago now. My problem has continued and I have discussed it also on the SPEAKEV Forum. See https://speakev.com/threads/help-rear-axle-transmission-noise-from-the-phev.10663/ As narrated on the above Forum, I took the car to my local Mitsubishi...

Interested that so many are buying the dark colors like Ruby Black. You will be OK so long as you are not obsessive about your battery driving range! Using your AirCon really reduces it significantly. I personally think the pale colors plus a sun roof are a must for these cars. I would have a...

Read somewhere recently that Mitsubishi are addressing this issue with a mod from 2016 whereby the brake lights will come on when you release the accelerator pedal. Did not give any more detail, like for which B settings; I would hope it was only for B4 and above. This Car could do with a B6...

I have experienced a phenomenon that may or may not be normal and would like to hear if anyone else has experienced it or has a view on what causes it. Occasionally, (about once a week) when parking up my PHEV, I have found that when coming out of Reverse into Neutral prior to "Powering Off"...
