Faultless over the last 10k, but needs a new set of brake pads with the 62k service. At idle there are loads of strange whirry noises from the engine compartment though, sounds like a jumbo taking off, these have appeared in the last 3 months or so, but don't seem to be affecting performance...

Just had the 4th service. Came just in the nick of time as the rear wheel bearings were about in meltdown - guess it comes from hauling over 2 tonnes up and down mountain passes every day. Extended the service to a couple of days (dealer has been exceptional as usual). So after 18 months, not...

As some of you have commented previously, my PHEV has a hard life - 40k miles a year from fast motorway, to mountain track and off-road. I seem to be a 1 man system tester for Mitsubishi too, as previous issues have all resulted in extended technical assessments. The latest was this week. On the...

Going up a motorway incline on petrol only. Never seen this one before - knocked 10mph off the cruise set speed. Happened twice on successive hills. Any ideas? Currently logged in my ever growing book of electrical gliches!

My phone connection (android) had been working fine. However, I now have a problem. On receiving an incoming call, or dialing out, the ring tone can be heard over the car system. However, as soon as the call is answered, the voice can only be heard on the phone device? Is this a simple docking...

I've posted this on another thread, but, as it seems so important, I have copied it onto here too. The note below is an update to ongoing electrical issues I have. No fix yet! However, I do have an explanation following another technical note from Mitsubishi - BUT, either the solution is not...

My car, new last October, now has 17,000 miles on it. Had to have both boot dampers changed after the first service as they would close themselves if the weather was cold. This took a technical note from Mitsubishi to diagnose the problem. I now have an EV Service warning light illuminated on...

Just had my tax code notification for next FY and I'm not sure it is right. Company car benefit valued at £1894 Fuel Benefit £1105 Does this sound right, I was expecting it much lower based on comparative figures Mitsubishi published.

Not a PHEV post specifically, my be a more general DAB Radio thing. I have noticed a couple of strange characteristics when compared to normal (MW) radio. On a section of my journey to work, the dab signal is very weak/intermittent. I have noticed that if I put something electric on at this...

Has anyone found that when using the electric tailgate opening, sometimes it reaches the 'open' limit, then immediately starts closing itself. Rather disconcerting when you are underneath with your hands full!!

My journey to work every day features several steep climbs (Hardknott and Wrynose Pass in the Lake District for those who know the area). The PHEV is not the best climbing machine in the world - pressing the accelerator raises the revs with little increase in forward motion!! Anyway, I wondered...

I have been badgering our compensation people at work regarding reclaiming my electricity charging costs. Their initial response was that they were waiting on clarification from HMRC. Guidance issued at the moment seemed contradictory: 'we do not consider electricity a fuel' - hence making...

Had my car a week now and I'm trying to figure my way through the subtleties. Drove to Manchester on the motorway today and decided to use the save mode for the higher speed bits. Mostly during the journey the dash arrows were indicating a blue engine to battery line and an orange engine to...

Other than the increased engine braking, are there any other disadvantages of driving in B5 mode?

As it would appear that British Gas have withdrawn their offer of free installation, I have completed the Chargemaster enquiry form. Has anyone had experience of this installation - are there any catches, hidden costs etc. What I'm really after is some sort of monthly 'bill' (or electricity...
