Yeah I got one of the earliest UK models, registered on 30 June 2014 (GX4h). Now done about 56k miles. Usually charged on a 16A home charger. I did use a rapid charger a few times in the early years, but I don't bother now - tbh I rarely use it for long trips , even our recent holiday to...

I'd be surprised if you can get 14p per mile. Petrol is currently around £7 per gallon in the UK. This implies you are getting 50mpg, which I think extremely unlikely. For two 12.5 mile journeys, I would expect to get around 25-30mpg, or roughly double what you estimate (so in the region of...

Yeah in the UK the early Outlander PHEVs were listed as 'Electric' under 'type of fuel'. DVLA then subsequently issued new V5s with 'Hybrid Electric' instead. My replacement was only issued in November 2020. So theoretically I could still have 2 'valid' V5s. Hopefully yours is just one who...

The original (May 2014) UK brochure can be found here: https://autocatalogarchive.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/Mitsubishi-Outlander-PHEV-2014-UK.pdf The 3+ was added later and also has the electric heater

My wife hired a dual control car to teach our son https://www.arnoldclarkrental.com/dual-control-hire It's mainly a Scottish firm but presumably someone will do something similar in London...for twice the price I imagine :lol:

You could look at Richi's site: https://www.richi.uk/p/mitsubishi-outlander-phev-faq.html Not sure you will find all the answers there, but there's a lot of useful stuff.

Well, I can't say for sure that it caused the engine to start, but it certainly didn't prevent it from starting, in my case.....

Yep - charging started yesterday after about 92/3 days (haven't actually worked it out!). Haven't charged it up for several weeks. Ironically I went to B&Q without it starting, then I thought "I'll just pull the IOD fuse", after which I put it in 'ready' to see what the computer said, and the...

Well, it might have been on the 94th day that the engine started :oops: ! IIRC it starts straight away once you switch on. Let us know what happens tomorrrow!

Just looked upthread, and I see mine finally started after 93 days.... :o

There are quite a few threads on this. I think this was the most recent: https://www.myoutlanderphev.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=2852

Same here ps44, except I've now got a battery mower as well! I believe disconnecting the 12V battery 're-starts' the clock, but I'm not certain as I've never had to do it yet.... :o EDIT: just seen this from earlier in the thread :oops: : Open the bonnet. Remove the cover from the main fuse...

Doesn't look good for this PHEV (it's the blue car seen at the far right of the first clip, and in some stills further down....) https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-51594107

Hi Alex I have a pdf of the Dutch 2014 model if it's any use (Business/Executive/Instyle/Instyle+). Pm me if you would like me to send it to you. I think it's too big to send as an attachment but I'm sure I can use wetransfer or some such...

As far as I recall, you can't have 'heat' in the morning and 'cool' in the afternoon - it's either on 'cool' or 'heat' (or 'defrost'). You can change it of course, but you have to change it each time you set it. You don't need to leave the heating on in the car for it to work. It works...
