We have also recently just had our 2017 4HS loose a fight with a tree, and the passenger-side mirror outer housing and inner black frame is cracked, and the glass mirror is also shattered, however the camera module and wiring/motor (for retracting the whole mirror and for adjustment of the...

We can still dream :D

Do you have any model number or link for reference? Mine is getting old and keeps dropping charge and I don’t want to get stuck next winter - I’m based in the UK if that makes any difference. Thanks!

the real win will be if they dont seize and reduce your battery range :D

Sorry - also just thinking about your failed charges, if the car is second hand - have you checked that there arent already charging timer/schedules configured on the car for overnight charging from the previous owner, who might have exclusively home-charged on a night rate. You can get into...

So - you will find that the Chademo implementation that the outlander PHEV uses, is a bit buggy (at least it is for the pre 2020 models), especially when used in conjuction with the newer 150+kwh public chargers. I would advise against using any of the 150+ chargers, even if they have the chadmo...

That sounds interesting, where do you pickup these second hand chargers from? usual channels? ebay etc? i am assuming you are an electrician or qualified to certify a new circuit for installing the charger? Thats the next hurdle if i can find a decent deal online somewhere :D

this is interesting to read - as I havent yet got a charger myself (still using the 3pin extension) - but have been using Octopus Go 12.30-04.30 windows to charge (then realised that the in-car schedule is an hour out compared to the clock on the car since daylight savings time change back on...

I have found through bitter experience that the newer higher capacity multi-socket chargers (those over 200kw) - that still provide a Chademo connector, simply dont work well with the old Mitsu implementation on our 2017 PHEV, the few times I have been in a rush, or been lured in by free...

I wish mine had a rocker switch on the steering column to turn them off :D

I have always had a good experience using the outdoor IP rated waterproof extension cables - especially the Masterplug ones from screwfix - they get warm, but not overly hot at the plug end, which is good. I have melted a few cheap Chinese ones before, which usual involve an annoying need to...

So - having just got the car back from accident repair - I was in a car park today. - and thanks to it being pretty empty - was able to see the car from about 10 metres away - and noticed from the silhouette that something was hanging down from the under carriage just behind the front passenger...

As an owner of the 2017 4HS for the last 5 years - I can tell you that 22miles on battery is pushing it - you definitely won’t get that in winter with the AC/Heating on - unless you are driving somewhere very flat and not on any roads over 40mph. But a few miles on petrol isn’t the end of the...

OK great, thanks for the clarification, it must be that the 12v adapter isnt working then, as the rest of the car is fine.
