Got my replacement today. :D Cheers, Gabe

At long last, got an email from dealer requesting the odometer reading so that they could place an order for the warranty replacement of the unit. FWIW, its done 26,775kms 'til date. I'm looking forward to the replacement unit, which I intend keeping as a semi-permanent feature on the external...

I doubt there is much difference between 2014 and 2016 vehicles as far as front-park assist sensors are concerned. They are hopeless. A) they are not linked to the display, so you don't know which side is causing the beep; b) an area around the centre at front appears to be out of sensor range...

1. end-June 2014 2. Aspire (Australian Top of the range PHEV) - starlight white 3. Don't know what "Facelift" means. Add-ons: Tailgate stainless steel sill protection, slimline weather-shields, front park assistance (a mistake - they're hopeless - beep unnecessarily when stopped at traffic...

After a couple of emails, it transpires that the dealer does not have a part number for the Australian-version 15A charger unit, to order a replacement from Mitsubishi. Unbelievable! :o

The actual fault, as displayed in the picture, is at the gland, where the cable enters the unit. It is not at the socket end. Our Aussie external sockets face downwards (weather-proofing), so in my case, it is a straight-line out from the wall-socket to the plug, thence to the unit. If it is...

Mine developed a fault end-Feb this year. Emailed dealer & Mitsubishi - looks like the dealer's staff are not quite savvy with emails, as no reply for nearly a month, when Mitsubishi's customer service requested me to take vehicle to dealer. Accused me of "customer abuse", nevertheless he took...

Currently, my car has ben inflated (from new) to 37psi acc to the third-party TPMS that I've fitted. The pressure rises to 40psi after a good freeway (motorway) run. As it is still hovering between 4 and 15C in these parts, I'll leave the pressures alone. But will probably have to review these...

Exchanged a very comfortable, hydro-pneumatic Citroën C5 HDi, which was going in its 8th year. Mainly because maintenance and insurance were getting dearer and resale value dropping. I did have a yearning for the Tesla Model S (which will be coming down-under mid Sep), but the cost was an...

That has been my experience too, with the vehicle in Charge mode, on accelerating from rest up a hill, the moment it hit around 64kmph, the car was in parallel hybrid mode. That was an experiment though, and I haven't tried it again (the road was downgraded from 70 to 60kmph last year, as our...

I had a problem sourcing the side protection strips - and they are rather thin strips more for show than real protection, so I was told. Anyhow, the dealer could not obtain them pre delivery, and they could not specify availability, shifting the blame on MMAL. So I had to do without the...

http://www.mitsubishi-motors.com.au/vehicles/outlander-phev/accessories I've had weather shields installed on my vehicle, but used only once on a sunny afternoon, as we're barely coming out of winter. In combination with a slightly open sunroof, appeared to reduce internal heat, but too soon to...

Fitted "Steel Mate Tyre Pressure Monitoring System - TP-75" earlier today, purchased from Supercheap Auto. Took me about 10 mins in all to fit. Then took the PHEV through a car-wash. So far so good. Pressure readings appear rather high at 38 PSI in front and 37 PSI at rear. Now got to see how...

Please note that winter driving will cost a bit more, as the petrol engine starts, regardless of state of charge, to provide additional boost to the electric heating, especially if the temps are below 10C. And electric heating can reduce expected electric range by as much as 10kms.

I have kept a spreadsheet over the years for every fuel fill. I have modified that spreadsheet to include calculated electric costs, and it is my intention to fill up the car with petrol on the 1st of every month so that I can enter the month's total cost of electric and petrol usage. Should I...

There's nothing like trying ;)

I had my car booked in for its first inspection/service last Thursday, and as part of that service I had requested a software update. I had to explain to the service rep what it is I wanted, demonstrating the issue on my android, when I dropped the vehicle off. When I picked it up, I was told...

Aussie cars don't come with DRLs, though fuse #4 is fitted. Neither are *normal* outlanders fitted with DRLs. The DRLs available in Europe don't even appear on the Aussie Mitsu website. Any reason why?

I did something similar (used $15.00 instead of $0.15, actual off-peak being $0.1477/kW), and I managed to get a reasonable graph.

You can modify the volume through the navigator settings ...
