I've had my fair share of flashing in my 2014 ZJ, and as far as I am aware the Australian models don't have self leveling headlights. Tends to be when I am on roads descending towards other cars. The LEDs are very bright though, although they do have a clearly defined cutoff.

I'm no expert, but the setup certainly looks impressive. Interested to hear how you get on.

Just an update, the dealer warrantied this yesterday no dramas as an open circuit fault with the unit.

Thanks chaps, I will be going to the dealer armed with photos of the charging setup to prove they comply with the manual's instructions. Given there's no exclusion on the warranty it's something they'd have to argue against fairly strongly I feel. Anyway, if they refuse to replace/ repair, I'm...

I'd imagine you'd have to have the power on, the car in neutral and with the regen braking set to zero.

Anyone had any dramas with the 10A supplied EVSE (Australian member here)? Mine appears to have a loose wire connection on the mains plug side of the unit. The EVSE normally lives hanging from a hook by thin rope on the side of the house, plugged in with the 0.5m cable section under no tension...

No capacity guarantee in Australia. I specifically asked about this, and the reply from Mitsu was as follows: Please accept our apologies for the delay in our response. We can confirm the Traction Battery is covered for 5 yrs / 100,000km (whichever occurs first) warranty. The battery in the...

Before I bought my PHEV I specifically asked the dealer this question (this is in Australia for reference). Their reply was whilst they don't recommend having the PHEV serviced externally, as long as the mechanic was qualified, used genuine parts, and followed the service schedule specified in...

I've had my PHEV for almost 12 months, and the charging flap was always popping open. In the end after much fiddling I just wrapped the metal tab on the flap which grips onto the grey latch with some fabric tape, and bent it slightly towards the latch so as to give it more grip. Voila, it no...

Yes, the car has a trip mpg computer. The honest answer is I've never owned another AWD SUV so I can't answer that question. My reasons for picking the PHEV were that we needed a larger car for the family than the compact station wagon we had, we wanted an EV to take advantage of solar...

My round trip commute when I drive is around 30 miles, of which 27 would be 50mph or greater speed roads. There also almost 1500ft of climbing in that trip. As long as I am sensible with the right foot, and I have enough battery charge, there isn't any section of road where I can't run EV...

Have a search on Ebay for headlight assemblies.

It sounds like the car should suit you pretty well. The 18 mile runs you should be able to do on battery, or mostly battery provided you are gentle with the right foot, although in winter you might find more motor action due to ambient temperature. My regular drive has a 2 mile hill climb at...

Dead easy. You can get replacement lamps off ebay for 20 quid. The chrome surround lamp cover is held in by four plastic clips which are very flexible, just lever them out with something blunt, in my case I used the end of a teaspoon handle. Fog lamp unit is held in by two phillips head screws...

In all honesty, if you can't do the majority of your driving in EV mode then I see little point in getting a Outlander PHEV so I think that would be your first consideration. Otherwise you end up with a very expensive, heavy petrol car, although for it's size it's actually pretty fuel efficient...

Interesting also that all those reviews criticize the handling, whereas the European/ Australian reviews generally do not. Makes me wonder if there has been some less than stellar suspension tuning done for the US/ Canada market. I have a 14/15 model, and whilst the handling isn't pin sharp...

Just got my phone call from Mitsu regarding this so sounds like they are doing the rounds.

If you find a way let us all know!

I'm interested in hearing experiences on this as well. Living in Tasmania, Australia there is no need for winter tyres, but for access to some mountains in winter chains are definitely required. Outlander kits I've seen recommend 16mm chains as standard
