I am very interested in this as I started the thread. I agree that I'm not keen to use lowered springs as I enjoy the ease of getting in and out (compared to my previous BMW s/wagon) and also the load height of the rear area is mostly convenient as well. I'm also not of the opinion the factory...

Hi. Its disappointing when you don't get replies. This forum is not highly populated. So I'll help if I can. Like all modern fuel injected cars these days, the accelerator is electronic and not a mechanical connection. So the pedal has at least 2 x potentiometers to generate varying voltages...

Hi. I'm interested in what Sport Mode does in my 2020 PHEV. Sport mode in conventional ICE cars doesn't usually do very much other than change the auto shifts and sometimes sharpens up the accelerator pedal response if drive by wire, but with few exceptions are a bit lame in most cars. Sport...

Hi. Is there any secret menu or adjustment for the sensitivity of the auto wipers to rain? I find its not quite sensitive enough and allows quite a lot of vision impairment before it triggers a wipe. Yes - the glass is clean and free of chemical residue. There are no scratches or anything that...

Okay - thanks for that. I don't pretend to know or have learnt everything on the Cars own info screen and my thoughts were whether i expend the energy understanding it or going straight to WatchDog and learning it. And then also I suppose, if I need to learn and know the extra depth level of...

Not very helpful thank you. I can look up what it will do, but what I asked was what can it do or provide over and above what information is available in the PHEV's own information screens and why should I install WatchDog. Then I also asked about the Bluetooth conflicts with Android auto and a...

I see a lot on forums and YouTube where owners use the WatchDog App - particularly when they wish to argue with the dealer. So what does the Watchdog App do over and above the info available from the included Mitsubishi PHEV information screens in the vehicle (mine a 2020 ZL PHEV - 2.4l/13.8kW...

Thank you.

The difference is being able to find a ready made bar that bolts into place and works, versus having to have one made and including pads or boxes to enclose the relocated sensors - a much more expensive proposition. Hence my post asking if anyone may have found a bar of any description already...

Thanks AndyinOz. I fully expected there would be a comment (or more) on weight and range and rightly so too. Its a fact it will. But I didn't buy my PHEV to be an environmentalist. I purchased it because my travelling has decreased and I'm retiring shortly and was not prepared to keep paying the...

So I've read here and there that its not possible to fit a Bull Bar, Roo Bar or even simple Nudge Bar to the outlander without interfering and mostly nulifying the front parking sensors. I also ready they can interfere with the Lidar Cruise Control and associated features, but that seems...

I've read, but do not know as fact, that touching the sensors can affect them - body oil stuff. They should be cleaned with the usual warm soapy water and dried without touching them. Pushing them all the way forward from the back wouldn't hurt but its usually obvious if they are out of...

Plenty of YouTube video's on DIY fitting tow bars to Outlanders. Both Factory OEM and aftermarket versions. Even shows that Mitsubishi already have a pre-wired plug for it behind the side panel in the load area above the battery. If you buy a kit that includes the factory like/copy loom, it...

Thank you. I knew it had a name, I just couldn't remember it. You cut a length and peel it's backing off it and it becomes very stretchy which you use to stretch it tight around the join and it does indeed amalgamate to itself to become a single tight layer. It's great for ending a traditional...

I thought perhaps this would be of interest regards Reversing Lights. I don't know if its the same everywhere but presume so: On RHD vehicles the left rear bumper bar light is the white reverse light - its quite weak. The right hand light is all red and is a rear Fog Light. On LHD vehicles...

They put the same speed bumps in parking areas and driveways and roads in speed zones of 5 - 25klm/hr.

Agree - not even our Mitsubishi ASX behaves as badly. Nor the BMW wagon, nor the 1996 Rav4 wagon. And its only raised bumps. Potholes and dips are handled quite ordinary and okay - quite well in fact. But anything raised throws the back end into the air to more or less an extent depending on the...

I don't have any particularly bad noise like looseness or fault as such, but its very unsettling to the car as it kicks back into the air and the body jostles around before settling. I'm convinced the rear shocks are only single acting or very least -poor settings in the rebound.

Yes. I'm aware it's a bit of a gamble. But I'm working on the premise that an aftermarket shock is going to be an upgrade in performance in some way rather than just a replacement. If worst came to worst I could put the OEMs back in as I don't think they are faulty but just a poor choice of...

You say that as if I'm dirty on them for it. I've never approached them - I agree they would frown on me asking for warranty. I stated that. It's my choice to try alternative shocks because I think it's a poor choice by Mitsubishi and not faulty shocks. What I did say was that with Mitsubishi...
