Thanks greendwarf, The car is at Mitsubishi at the moment for the struts to be changed as the front end is bouncing everywhere. But they have said the gaitors are split and will cost £899 for the parts only! They have added the gaitors as "optional" replacement. Regards ..... G

Thanks for the answer. I thought they would be the simple rubber gaitors but the price seemed to be way to high. Mitsubishi Quote "Offside frontside gaterstruts are split - Part alone 889.20" Regards ..... G

Hello, We have a 2014 PHEV in the UK and have been told that a GATORSTRUT is required for the front suspension because the original is split. Cost £890. Can anybody tell me what that is. Regards ..... G

Well all the other tyre fitters agree that any tyres can be fitted providing they are of the correct size etc. I did go onto the Kwik Fit site and filled in one of their complaint forms on Sunday but have had no response. Three new tyres are being fitted by another company tomorrow. Regards...

The man in Kwik Fit said that tyres other than Toyo or Yokohama would cause damage to the PHEV's batteries. Doesn't make much sense to me, except that the tyres I wanted to buy were £75 each and the one's he said were correct were £142 each. Regards ..... Gary.

I have just been to my local Kwik Fit for a set of tyres and, after looking at the tyres fitted to my car, they told me that I am driving with tyres that invalidate my insurance. My tyres are budget tyres and that's all I wanted to purchase but 2 men at KF said only 2 types of tyre are allowed...

The mpg figures I gave are real figures worked out by the milage covered and petrol actually put in the tank. We no longer use the onboard charging mode, the 3 cars are used purely as petrol vehicles as we cannot fit charge points at home or work. we spoke to a service manager at a mitsubishi...

Our company bought 3 of these PHEV's on the grounds that they don't need charging points because they have onboard generators. No 1 has a 12 mile run into London. No 2 has a 28 mile run into London. No 3 has a 25 mile run into London. All 3 are then used to run around London for the day and we...

To be honest I have found that even nursing the car only gets about 32mpg. Mitsubishi should be sued for the outrageous claims they made! They actually said that you do not need charging points. One report says that a company car driver without access to charging points, who averages 300 miles...

£22 petrol used for 1000 miles :shock: :shock: My company was told there's no need for charging points 'cause the car's ICE charges the batteries : I'm getting approx 28mpg & my 2 associates are getting approx 25mpg :shock: We have runs of about 25 miles into London & back. If we run the...

Have to agree with garymullen about salesmen. Our company just supplied me with a white GX3H after the salesman said it would do 148mpg without ever needing to be plugged in as it charges itself!! I travel 25 miles into London each day ( and back at night ) then drive around London during the...
