Two 5 metre 32Amp type 1 cables, removed from Rolec wall boxes. (Changed to type 2). Free collection from S. Essex (Basildon) or post at your cost.

This forum has been well and truly hijacked. I'm off. Bye.

I recently wanted to install a switch (don't ask), and thought I'd use one of the several spare positions on the dash switch panels. I thought the blanking plugs would be just that - blanking plugs. To my surprise, every one of them has a wiring loom connection, complete with wiring, I presume...

That's "I've been thinking" to those not raised in the East End of London. I recently posted on another thread about the problems to come when the whole motoring public are persuaded/forced to go electric. Mainly the infrastructure and the need for people used to refuelling in 5 minutes to...

Hello, All, Has anyone used this in the UK? What are your experiences? I'm not sure if I need to be in another rescue organisation, or can I rely on Mitsubishi First? Thanks for your input.

Hi, all, Can anyone point me to the right LED lamps for the number plate lights? I got some, but they're way too long (can't re-assemble the lens over them). Most seem to be similar. What have you used?

Hi, All, Just a heads-up that Halfords and U-switch have a discount offer on Nextbase dash cameras. I've got a Nextbase 402g and I'm perfectly happy with it. Link...

Hi, All, I'm sure I used to receive traffic reports (TP set on the radio), with a TP symbol in a black square on the sat nav map. But now I don't seem to get them, and there's no indication of the fact that TP is set on the map. I've checked, and TP is displayed on the Audio screen. So what's...

Hi, all, I suspect many will be coming up to (or already have had) their first service. What I'd like to know is, has anything been said about minor modifications you may have done affecting your warranty? I'm thinking of disconnected beepers and buzzers, lighting mods etc., the sort of things...

Hi, brain-boxes, Can you tell me exactly how the electric heater works? Not the fiddly bits at the operating end, but how it actually heats the air. I thought it would be a bigger version of a domestic electric fan heater, but I read on another thread talk of "fluid". So, is this fluid heated...

Hi, all, I've had solar panels for a month now, and on a sunny day, I'm seeing a peak of 1.4 kW generating (I'm not ideally situated). Considering the time of year, do the experts (that means you) think I'll be able to charge my PHEV for free in the summer, using the supplied charger? I'm home...

I've read on here somewhere (can't find it!) that if you are stationary in traffic or at signals, if you press the brake pedal hard enough the car goes into "N". Well, mine doesn't! No matter how hard I press the pedal, it remains resolutely in "D". Is it only mine? What do you find?

Hi, all, Just something to bear in mind. When the glovebox is fully open, there's a small gap between the upper lip of the box and the flat shelf. If you keep a lot of junk in there, and then throw something like a hospital appointment letter in there without looking where it's gone, you may...

Hi, all, Anyone had this - stop to let a passenger out, get "Key not detected" on the info display? Can't recall it happening before, but it definitely does now. Is this one for the dealer's snagging list?

I'd just like to say what an interesting and friendly forum this is turning into. I belong to many online forums, and this has to be the friendliest among all of them. And from the four corners of the earth! Even Aussies are being nice. ;) . There, that's going to spoil it!!!!!!

Anyone know what the small orange light in the roof switch panel is? It's marked in the manual as a "downlight". Doesn't throw any light down in my car!! BTW, the tailgate doesn't beep any more. I've dealt with it. :twisted:

The PHEV is a tight fit in my garage, so I retracted the door mirrors using the switch on the door panel. Being a suspicious character, I then locked the car. When I then unlocked it next day, the mirrors unfolded themselves. Is this right? On my Volvo, if you manually retracted the mirrors...

I'm new to this type of forum, so can you older hands tell me how you get the "Fuelly" thing at the bottom of your posts. Not that I've got a PHEV yet to tell you what my "Fuelly" is!

Hi, all, Just saying hello. I've got a Gx4h on order in metallic blue. Apparently it was docked on 1st September, so when it'll get to me is anybody's guess! Getting a bit excited, but apprehensive not really knowing what to expect, long-term. Was really impressed on the test drive, booted it...
