This is what Mitsubishi says about long period storage.

When I was buying my phev I did check few of these and in all of them hatch on charge ports did rub against body when opened. It needs just two 6mm washers under the hinge and this is fixed.

Few years back.. :?

About the electric heater.. I’ve tested it at few mornings and i think it doesen’t heat engine at all. For example today it was minus 7 C, after 20mins heating cabin was comfy with vlear windows but no signs of heat at engine. Tried to find it with hands and with my Flir heatcam. At winter it...

Thanks! That made the trick!

I`m just wonderin the preheating when the temps get again down to - 15 ... - 25C. I`d like to preheat also the engine properly before leaving. One thing, can automatic rear window heating be turned off?

I assume you're using 'gas' to mean LPG, rather than the US English meaning of 'petrol'? Yep, didn’t mean petrol :roll: But not LPG either, we use can use pressurized natural gas for vehicles. Its around 200bar in vehicles reservoir. LPG is used in lift truck bbq grills and so. At work we...

Weather has been anythin between 0C and -15C and few days ago it dropped 20cm of snow in 12 hours. Outlander has decent studded tires in size 225/55 18. It...

Does any battery test include in normal service at authorized dealer?

Are they about to make diamond cutting before or after paint job? If before its a pain to get mask tape cleared after coating as it melts in heating. If after they need to be lacquered to protect cutted surfaces. If theyre fir winter use i’d just powder coat all over without cutting.

I had my car on lift today and was just wondering that if they would REALLY want hide all those chargers and inverters and other stuff theres plenty room under bottom plate at rear. But maybe the used way is compromis with costs..

Fuel powered aux heater would be handy in remote locations or in situations when main battery is empty. And also heating the car while driving in cold conditions and with these I mean temps below minus 20C :) Today it was minus 15C when I left to work and I use the electric heater in the car...

Any ideas about mounting extra lights for an pre-facelift Outlander? Bumber around licenseplate feels soft so some other attachment points need to find. Wich would be easiest place to take power at engine bay?
