UK owners: my PHEV went in for 2 year service (24k miles / 38k km) and as the charge box was becoming intermittent, same problem as described on this thread, loose connection inside box. Main dealer took photos, emailed to Mitsu and point blank refused to replace. (they don't repair). claimed...

good point, no point me grumbling without letting them know the feedback, have just done so, a polite no thanks, with clear £5 too high price as sole reason.

even the full EV's (leaf etc) wont get the full 80+ mile range on a 20 min charge - of all the owners I've seen, they arrive with no less than 20% remaining from range anxiety, so a 20 min charge will take them up BY 60% to 80%. That 60% is about 50 miles so their pence per mile is worse at...

me too! i also note when going from N to D you don't need to press the footbrake so just silently, and stealthily glide away. could be coincidence, but I'm amazed by how many drivers behind me in commuter traffic, naughtily have their head down texting or reading emails when at red light, and...

if pre-cooling is important, consider using the 'charge' button (or save) near the end of your journey so you have something in reserve to cool the car?

just had service done at mitsu main dealer, no problem with silenced boot open/close beeper and LED side(position) lights. HJB

correct, its a POI update for charge points only, no changes to the map. HJB

Love it! Please tell me when you are in a rush you sometimes slide down the cable from your apartment 2nd floor window (whilst singing batman/superhero/fireman tune)?! I'm jealous! Ingenious method though, keeps it off the pavement/sidewalk. hjb

quick search for "extension lead" should give you plenty of helpful comments as some use it everyday. Many of us use an extension lead, myself included. Mitsu cover the thing in warnings and they are correct, but I've used this in rain and more - I use this one as its 13A rated...

this is new for me, commenting on my own post. Overnight thought about my minor gripe of it not being charged at all, i would not have expected a dealer to put petrol/diesel in my other car when servicing so why did i have an expectation of a free elec top up? Told myself off, am now fully happy...

Got mine back. Only extra was an air con gas flush? Didn't cost me so I didn't question. Car washed too! Not charged is the only minor gripe when they have a 16A charger on the wall. HJB

hey hypermiler, what a coincidence, mine is also in today for 1st service! Maidenhead Mitsubishi. Mines only 11 months but went thru 12k miles (19k km). HJB

hey Nixtrix, liked the curve of your DRLs. Can you share what type bulb you used, and does it fit with the fog bulb too? thanks HJB

no, but i bought a set of rubber glow-in-the-dark liners for cubby holes and the drinks holder. It stops a smaller cup from moving about. I bought it on eBay, took 8 days to arrive, heres a non eBay link so you know what i mean...

good idea maby, thnx
