I disagree that a gallon of petrol will take you more than 30 miles, particularly at any speed which is what you're likely to be doing if you're beyond PHEV range. I agree that it's not worth doing at 70p/kWh in the UK - UNLESS your goal is CO2 minimisation rather than economy, time etc

Sweeping generalisation based on what data? For which country?

You won't get better airflow, if you did then Mitsubishi would have done it. Yep, if you have twice as much filter area, it will take twice as long to get dirty (provided airflow is evenly distributed, which it won't be), but probably at twice the cost. If you can get a bigger area filter for...

You can clone TPMS sensors so the car won't know the difference. You can also program a 2nd set to the car, but you have to tell it which set you're using (eg summer and winter wheels)

Why? What do you think it'll gain? I'll tell you - absolutely nothing.

It cannot start without the relay - that's the point. Under any circumstances. A vital part of the circuit is missing. Simple as that. That's why removing it, rather than having an easily accessible bypass switch, is not the best idea. It's no different to removing the starter motor or solenoid...

In which case, disabling it and hitting a pedestrian could be an expensive move.

Just to clarify: this is because the oil used for electric compressors is different to most mechanically driven compressors (POE vs PAG)

Standard. I wouldn't bother getting them done.

Just be careful about figures quoting miles per gallon as a US gallon is different to a UK gallon.

I'm a member of The AA and let them take care of it.

Doesn't need the full area as it doesn't rev high.

It certainly is not. All from the same compressor and condenser, but it has its own evaporator (which may be what they meant as the battery cooling could be used without the cabin cooling needing to be on)

*wondering. Wandering means walking around. I hope you don't mind me helping you with your English? It's generally really good and I know that when I lived in Germany I appreciated the corrections needed to get it better. If you don't like it, I'll stop.

I probably shouldn't interact with a bot, but I'd have thought it's pretty bloody obvious that we're talking only about one specific PHEV on here :rolleyes:
