Now I have been ultra careful with my car - it is my pride and joy. But today I had to make a decision, on a narrow country lane (half a mile from my house), as a van driver, who was on his phone, veered across the road towards my car. The choice was put the car into a 6 ft irrigation channel...

A couple of months ago I got a nail in my tyre, just on the edge of the tread, which my local tyre centre refused to patch. I ended up getting a tyre through my local Mitsubishi Dealer, but it cost me £165 :shock: I kept the old tyre as a spare and bought one of these...

The first time anyone has put a date on the death of diesel: http://www.motoring.co.uk/car-news/new-cars-to-be-zero-emission-by-2050_67143?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=motoring-060116-new

The other day I was sat in a car park and when I pressed start, the ICE kicked in due to the cold weather and the fact that I had the heating turned up. Nothing unusual. But as I was sat there for a while I accidentally pressed the accelerator and it revved the engine like on a normal car. I...

I keep a running total of my MPG, for each fillup and monthly. I have never reset the manual MPG on the car, and it is proving to be extremely accurate - down to the nearest 0.1 mpg. My question is - Does the system calculate the fuel consumption figure based on what is recorded by a sensor in...

I was taking the dog to the vets the other day - so put a towel inside the boot to prevent any mud getting on the carpet. Unfortunately, because it was an emergency visit, I wasn't paying too much attention, so the towel overlapped the tailgate lock without me realising it. When I got to the...

On the 1st November I decided to log several factors to try and work out a trend for the car and try and get a better understanding of what EV range was achievable before the ICE kicked in. My plan was to continue the experiment for a month but unfortunately, the weather really changed on the...

I keep hearing a rattle when going over bumps from somewhere in the drivers central console area. I have tried to locate it, and first thought it was the handbrake button or the glovebox. I have tried holding them when I hear the noise to no avail. Emptied glovebox, and central armrest...

It was a pretty frosty morning today. My wife went out to her car to find the battery was flat, so I prewarmed the PHEV to take her to work. About 10 mins after I had started pre warm, the alarm started, so I switched off the alarm and re locked the car using the remote. This happened 3 more...

Ok, we all have the vehicle for different reasons. But, we are seeing major tests carried out by several forum members (including myself). If any of us got the car to cut down on fuel usage (including electricity), who are testing the car to provide info to others - where you would not use the...

I have had the FCM flash a Brake! Warning a couple of times, usually when a car in front slows down to turn left and I know that I will pass it safely. Has anyone got to stage 2 where it starts applying the brake or even stage 3 where it stops the car?

This forum has grown massively since I joined 6 months ago. I have learned so much from the members on here. I can only thank the nameless people that send me into thinking mode every day. It makes me feel like my toy is STILL my new toy! The activity on the forum is incredible, new topics...

I think I am losing the plot.... I appreciate that everyone has their own way of working out their fuel consumption figures. But, last month I did a lot of petrol miles compared to EV and I wanted to try and work out the mpg of the engine alone after grid power was removed from the equation...

I have just completed my first 6 months with the car and the one thing I hadn't tested was the point at which the fuel warnings happened so I tried it out the other day. I was making a long motorway trip so I decided to try and make it there an back on the fuel I had. At 35 miles indicated...

Cleaned the car today - pulled two handfuls of dead leaves from in front of the radiator - must keep an eye on that during Autumn. :shock:

Whilst cleaning the car I noticed that the Toyo tyres do not have full grooves to clear water between the longitudinal channels. This is possibly to reduce road noise but has anybody had any experience as to how the tyres handle at speed through surface water (e.g. On a motorway) with regard to...

Has anyone got an idea whether you can pre cool the car if the EV range has run out and the car is not on charge - I might need it this week?

An update is available for the MMCS versions below 2015-A. Fairly simple to do and has full instructions - download file is only 6MB and it takes about a minute to load...

Twice in the last 10 days I have tried to use the fast charger at Woodhall. Southbound will not allow you to choose the charge type (AC/DC) and Northbound says Card Not Recognised. The card is Ecotricity and I have used it before. Has anyone else tried them recently? I would like to know if...
