Well yes, you have several levels of sensitivity on the bezel on the wiper stalk. There's no further sensitivity adjustment I don't believe. I find the bezel a bit fickle so often rotate it fully one way then reverse to the degree of sensitivity I want.

Well thank you very much for the very many insightful contributions you've made to the Outlander PHEV forums Maby. Good luck with your Nissan. I'll be here for a bit longer, like Geolog above, as I too cannot find anything that fits the bill quite as well as the Outlander for my use cases. I...

Andy, I think NightPHEVer's jet wash theory is very plausible. Not the cause in my case but very similar effect would come from driving too quickly through a large amount of standing water creating a weight of water blasting the fairly thin rubber. :twisted: My aftermarket replacements are...

My charge flap wouldn't unlock yesterday so encouraged by Thruster's solution I decided to investigate and in the spirit of taking any opportunity to deny Mitsi main stealers my business, try to repair. 45 minutes later with no new parts I was done. If you are not the sort who calls an...

Does anyone know the part number for a 2014 Outlander PHEV rear nearside (UK) window motor?

I dunno about 25 -30 mpg jdsx. I have read this sort of claim before and when I have run without plug-in charging, even short trips I find it hard to get less than 40mpg! Of course I don't wear boots, I keep within speed limits and my tyres are always pumped (and sometimes a little over...

On the OPs original point please do change oil on schedule or more frequently. I was surprised at the poor condition of mine after a year and 10K miles when perhaps 60 - 70 % of miles are all electric. I like to service my own car every now and then to be certain it was actually done properly...

If we leave aside the (logical) possibility the OP drives with a heavy right foot and/or the terrain driven is markedly different from that the dealer used in their test, then the number one suspect is the rear brake callipers. Other threads note that these do seize in cars of this age. Of...

Thanks DD. That's all very interesting.

I have tried the published procedure - hold messages button til spanner flashes then touch again. I have now a few hundred miles or 13 months to next service, which is obviously drivel. Service done just want to reset it (myself). MY16

For the OP I agree just putting in petrol is the least worst option cost wise. I figure mile for mile petrol is cheaper (bought from a supermarket) than using any public charger unless its free - I see Tesco offer free charging in some of their supermarkets now. Also note that slow home...

See my post on this topic in another thread, https://www.myoutlanderphev.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=5372#p57474 They are perhaps better in aftermarket parts and certainly cheaper. Glad I did mine as much for the fresh rubber above the spring as the dust gaitor around the strut. If you are...

Yes, I know I should have weighed the old vs the new components. Sorry.

But not all sliding surfaces ! :twisted:

Okay, so I eventually got around to changing these. I bought German aftermarket boots and although its a little tricky measuring rubber with a vernier gauge I figured they were about 10% (0.3mm) thicker than the originals at the skirt. The component includes the top rubber mount on which the...
