Afternoon, anyone else had notification of a Safety Recall covering the Forward Collision Mitigation System and Active Stability Control System? This was released by Mitsubishi around 03/12. My dealer advises that this is a software update and will take around an hour.

I had this issue last year. Somehow managed to get 5LSX then it disappeared and I could not get it back no matter where I was or how high up! I did find the answer on here. If you tune to a BBC station that you can find then turn the TUNE/ZOOM "knob" it should scroll through BBC stations and...

Hi Steve, Apologises for the delay in replying :oops: Before I answer your question the car has been back in the dealership because the blue LED puddle lights, also in the drivers door, stopped working. They have been fixed, apparently a 2 minute job. However, since the lights have been...

Hi Bob, Yes the suspension has been re-worked as well. It's better at taking potholes and speed bumps at lower speeds than the old one. It feels more composed at 20-50mph and cruises well above that. The steering too has more feedback. Certainly worth testing out first though.

IMHO the improvements have been brought about by improving the quality of the materials in the cabin, particularly the doors, ceiling and I think part of the dashboard has been softened a bit. The new centre console helps reduce the hard black plastic look of the older model and, this might...

The car is back and apparently all fixed. The culprit, I am told, was an unsecure speaker connection in the drivers door. I have some serious listening to catch up on.

Thanks for the advice chaps. The car has been collected today, which is an improvement on 22/9, so I will see how this goes. The thinking is that as the 5HS model is shipped without the upgraded Alpine stereo that somehow it has not been installed correctly at MMC Reception Centre in Portbury...

Hi, Very similar situation Dr. I have just taken delivery of a 5HS after 3 trouble free years with a GX4h which I have really enjoyed. The GX4h ticked all the boxes, it was a bit agricultural inside compared with the modern French and German offerings......in fact most other offerings...but as...

No, turning the volume down does not reduce the volume of the knock and turning it up does not increase it either. A long press on the volume button to switch off the display does not stop it either, it still has life!

Hi All, Last week I took delivery of a 5HS which is a replacement for a GX4h which I have had for 3 fault free years. After 3 days of use the sound was lost from the main car speakers to be replaced with an electronically produced 'knock' every 20 seconds coming from the drivers door speaker...

Thanks for that, I'll give it a go. The old phone has not actually been turned on (that I am aware of!) for about 8 months!

Hi All, The best that I have managed to date is 2568 miles from 39.14 litres which equates to 298mpg. That was over a 10 week period from 30/05/15- 08/08/15. So I filled up again 7 weeks ago and have so far done 1360 miles on around 11.36 litres (this is an estimate based on having 7 fuel bars...

Good Afternoon All, Quick question, I have the smartphone app and it works fine. However, in Settings then Number of Registered Smartphones it says 2. How do you remove a phone from the app? This has happened when I changed phones and my old one is still paired to the app but not the Bluetooth...

Hi All, Just a quick question, I listen to my own music via a USB and every time I start the car it always goes back to the 1st track on the 1st file rather than playing from where it was last left. Can this be changed? Whilst I quite like Blondie I am getting sick of it now!

Yes I agree with all that has gone before. At the end of the day the only real world driving that anyone is interested in is their own real world. Personally I am seeing figures well in excess of 100 mpg not because of the way I drive but because of the way I use the car, indeed any car, on a...
