About the voice recognition of phone contacts, be sure your phone book is active and not the phone list of the car.. did cost me some time to figure out on the 2014 MMCS.

The outlander is a 4 wheel drive, with traction control over front and rear axle, as well as the S-AWC control system. I would not worry about stability.

Assuming you got some warranty, I would contact the dealer that sold you the car, And have him compensate you for travel the extra 200 miles. Or have him contact a dealer nearer to you in order to get it looked at.

Hi Jim, Our “granny charger, also known as brick” remains at home. The extra charge cable type 1 to type 2 remains in the car and is hardly used for charging, as 99 percent of charging is done at home. But that depends on your use. Our dogs have a boot protector and iron guard. The boot...

Hi, Welcome on the forum On the charging, I certainly would not use an extension cable, apart from water ingress issues, it should be properly rated for the 10A current that the supplied charger takes. On the spare, That was an issue for me as well, but it is more than compensated by the pros...

Just my 2 cents, I would suspect the wiring of the tow bar giving a short or wrong connection, once the brake lights get a current.

Hi welcome on the forum, Yes this is some special type of car. The shifting reverse to the front feels funny but is normal for any automatic. P R N D front to back Yes the seat heating is not visible but you need the “feel memory of your fingers for this” works fine for me. More irritating...

I know that in my 2014 MMCS these lines can be adjusted in the hidden service menu. I suggest searching for hidden menu for your MY. I I’ve seen “hidden menu “ coming by quite some times. But all depends on type of MMCS

Hi, Mine had a yearly service in februari, incl. oil, wiper blades, filters etc at the dealer's for €357,--

Done the same in my Landrover Defender, but had quite some practice in the 70s while in the Army. Real challenge was double-double cluchtnin the DAF YA328, going from road to terrain switching from 2High to 3Low without coming to a standstill :lol:

Hi All, Participating in this forum (after lurking and absorbing technical knowledge for some time), I just want to share me being content with the PHEV (as a petrolhead and tinkerer at cars and motorcycles for over 50 years) The PHEV story started with switching to solar and heat pump (no more...

Hi Lior, To give a simple answer on the workings of the PHEV. -No the ICE does not have gears (but is has a 1:1 coupling in Parallel mode), all difference in engine Revolutions and actual speed is dis coupled by use of electricity. The ICE generates electricity, which goes to the electric...

Why not try a breakers yard https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.nl%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F143372671433 This is wrong model year. But with some luck you can get the 2014 specification

Hi, welcome on the forum, The range indicator, also known as guessometer takes in account the previous trip and the EV achieved there, it assumes your next trip will be identical. Before raising alarms I would suggest a moderate trip and look at the outcome on the guessometer. Another option...

To my understanding the PHEV just prefers to drive electric as much as possible. (It’s an EV which sometimes just needs some extra electrons by means of the ICE) All drive to the wheels is electrical, thus no need for CVT. And this is a constant 4 wheel situation. The parallel drive mode (above...
