Yes...it sounds like you get the same thing as me...quite a loud clink/clunk noise, just after the brakes are applied. My car has done 16.5 k miles, 10 months old.

Hi No its not that one...I know what you mean though.

Hello For some time now Ive been aware of an intermittent "metallic" clinking noise as I come to a stop under braking. Sounds like its from underneath, possible towards the rear, maybe drivers side. Wondering if its the brakes or the rear electric motor . Any similar experience or thoughts?

Yes, I have the 2015 basic 3 model and yes the FM radio is terrible...worst on any car Ive had in 30+ years

Yes mine has the green mould developing inside the rear light lens too.

Yes probably. I have some Ring xenon bulbs which Id like to install and replace the existing factory bulbs....but given the issues Ive had with the allignment, Im reluctant to touch anything in case I end up putting the beams back into the wrong position. Especially as noone was able to explain...

Just an update on the comments Ive made above about the issue of the main beam on my PHEV being set far too low... Having had no luck at my local Mitsubishi dealership, who didnt seem to think there was a problem at all, I e mailed MMC UK and explained the issue to them. I had a reply , asking...

Thanks so much for the info gwatpe, Much appreciated. Not sure Im up to that sort of work. And as mine is a lease car,it probably wouldnt go down well with the finance company if I mess up the electrics. I'll just have to try and re-align the main beams somehow. If I could just get them a bit...

Thanks jaapv It does seem that there is an issue with the mounting / alignment of the main beam on the Outlander. Very odd how it can vary so much from one vehicle to another.

Thankyou gwapte I think the new halogen bulbs I fitted are much brighter than the standard bulbs - the beam is just nowhere near pointing in the right place. Would you be able to tell me which HID replacement high beam bulbs you used? Do they fit into the existing connections / socket...

Many Thanks Napton Yes ive done a lot of fiddling already...I only seem to find that the bulbs go in one way - by inserting and twisting until they click into place...which isnt the correct allignment. But Ill have another try with the lights on against the wall and see what happens.

Hi all Further to this "Main Beam" discussion... I took delivery of my PHEV in June. I too am not happy with the allignment of the main beam (the dipped headlights, whilst not amazing, are aligned correctly). The main beam, as mentioned above, is focused within the dipped headlight area...
