I hopped into the car this morning, to find it only showing a range of 3km and the message: "Charging Interrupted" showing on the Dashboard. My best guess is that there was a momentary interruption to the mains power the last time I put the car on charge (Sunday morning). Fortunately I had...

Well, well, it looks like the forum has had a software upgrade. It will probably take a while for us to work out all the twiddly bits. I have seized on the opportunity to add a profile pic. :)

Hi forumites, I'm getting a UHF CB fitted next week and I'm wondering if members have put any thought into mounting locations for a UHF antenna. We have at least one member who fitted roof racks for an antenna. I don't have a bull bar (city car me) and am a little concerned about practicality...

Hi team, I was very surprised to receive a recall notice about the 12V battery in my car. Outlander PHEV Recall This recall may also be a sobering note for owners who have opted to install a cheap and cheerful battery themselves...

Hi people, Just posting this one out of curiosity, in case others see the same thing... The other morning I hopped into the car to see that it had no charge. Disaster for an EV owner, but no drama for us. Figuring that I probably hadn't plugged it in properly, I double checked the timer menus...

I charge at home, on a household socket, and it typically takes about four and a half hours because I'm rarely charging from empty. A full charge takes about five and a half hours.

The 60 mile daily commute will mean that you always use some petrol. In my case, with my much shorter commute, I use 40 litres of petrol per year. If there is a powerpoint at work for you to use, you could re-charge at work every day for your drive home. In warmer weather, that would mean that...

Well colour me suspicious... I've just taken mine in for the 45,000 km service (even though it hasn't turned over 19k yet) and was told that a full battery check was part of the service. The guy behind the counter said that they check the charging/status of every cell as part of this process...

Hmm... Maybe I can confirm that the software has been updated, by two mechanisms. 1. The charging timer screen has vanished, looked everywhere, can't find it. 2. I'm not able to get the car into "Registration Mode" to connect via the app. Does anyone know if there are new instructions posted...

G'day, I've just had the 30,000 km service, at 15,000 and a bit km on the clock. (Apparently I need to get out more.) I asked them to check for software updates for the map and for the main computer. Which they've done, at no extra charge, as part of the service. (Showing as Updated ECU and...

The local tyre place, where I had a recent flat tyre repaired, just gave me a free rotation and wheel balance... But they also gave me some unusual info. 1. They've recommended that I never use the tyre goo, supplied by Mitsubishi because they can't repair a tyre once that's been used. (The...

Just in case this is bothering you. If you're being annoyed by an image being repeated all the time, for example, someone may put a picture of his car in his signature, and you happen to be running AdBlock Plus in Firefox... You can get rid of the really annoying repeated picture by...

Hi people. I've been reading about a very simple hack that applies to our cars. When you unlock the car by pressing the button on the door handle, this is what happens. 1. The car sends a weak signal to the key-fob 2. The key-fob replies. 3. The car unlocks The signal from the key-fob is...

Hi people, It seems to me that we stand out a bit as the only SUVs on the road at the moment that don't have LED daytime running lights on the front. Have any Aussies found/installed suitable lights like the replacements for the fog lights which include an LED surround? I'm particularly keen...

Hi people, I've been digging around on the forums, and have failed to find out which Lithium ion battery is in use in the PHEV. (i.e. specific chemistry). Similarly, I'm struggling to find instructions, related to the specific chemistry, which describe the best charge/discharge cycle to...

Hi people, My phone (Galaxy S5) is happily connecting to MMCS via blu-tooth, and I'm able to handle calls etc. with no problems. (Nice work Mitsubishi!) However, when using the phone as a music player, I haven't been able to find any way to nagivate between folders on the phone. The result...

Hi people, I've bought a second-hand PHEV Aspire (2015), it's an ex-lease car (leased for 12 months, with only 8,700 km on the clock) by Mistsubishi for their own staff here in Australia. I'd been wondering why the car seemed to be losing charge overnight, with this especially visible after...
