Re: ABS, RBS, EV system, ASC system service required

I got these warning lights too. Have just had to replace rear, passenger side wheel bearing/hub because integral retaining clip for ABS sensor has rotted away due to rust. See pictures that show original, rotted OEM hub and new SKF replacement. The ABS retaining 'clip' is the bit on the left hand si...

8 years of battery use and counting....

I've now owned my 2014 Outlander PHEV for 6 years, it was 2 years old with 3000 miles on the clock when I bought it. It was previously owned by the Colt Car Company (Mitsubishi UK RIP) It's now done 40,000 miles. So the 8-year battery warranty is no longer there to comfort me through those long, dar...

Re: Split Gatorstrut

See 'Front Shock Dust Cover Bellows Shreaded' post somewhere in Technical Discussions (with photos - although when I just viewed, the photos don't seem to work?). I think total cost for me was about £300 parts and labour to have rubber covers replaced - took about 2 hours - had top shock bearings re...

Re: PHEV Wheel Size

Well they certainly look the same, but I'd have thought that it would be a lot easier to find a used PHEV wheel as I'm thinking that there are likely to be a lot more PHEV vs diesel Outlanders anyway. Got mine of Ebay - around £500 for four alloys, and got them powder coated for £50 each. There are ...

Re: 2014 outlander phev engine start issue solved, sharing experience

Yes, I managed to do this once while I was changing a wheel. I've never been able to work out why it's possible to switch the power button into this particular position, (ie, Power button has blue light on but green 'READY' graphic on dash is not illuminated, so main battery is not connected) what i...

Re: Front shock dust cover bellows shredded

...And here's what the top bearings look like (one per side) - pictured here are the original Mitsubishi items that were replaced. The other picture shows where they fit on top of the strut assembly. The rubbery bit on the outside edge is the dust seal which is provided with the new bearing... beari...

Febest Strut Support Mounting Anti Friction Bearing MB-GFF. Got them off ebay. Took skilled mechanic in Ford dealer...

Re: AirCon Snowflake flashing

Mine had a two year on-and-off re-gas and subsequent gradual gas loss situation (snowflake would flash, then if i switched it off and then on again a bit later it would work again for a while etc...etc) turned out to be leaking condensor. No surprise there really, the condensors I think are made fro...

Re: Phev 2014 suspension gator

Mmm, yes I see. Well spelling has never been my strong point. I worked in journalism for 20 years too! Although we fortunately had sub-editors to correct any spelling problems. We do have to contend with many types of wildlife here in rural Scotland but no alligators as yet. I'm more worried about t...

Re: Phev 2014 suspension gator

I've just noiced that mine too have done this recently. My PHEV has only done 32,000 miles from new. Poor quality rubber/plastic - too thin perhaps. They weren't like this last November when I put my winter wheel 'n' tyres on. I don't know if perhaps jet wash usage over the winter may have accelerat...
