Another strange request - Does anyone here (in Australia) own a GSR Outlander with the Bilstein suspension? It would be best if it was around a 2020 model the same as my ZL. I wish to get a price on the Bilstein shocks (and springs if they are Bilstein as well) but Mitsubishi are unable to...

I've been long time involved in BMW's. For those (and Mercedes I believe) there are software hacks and bypasses and in-depth settings throughout the internet. There are CAN devices for continual monitoring of engine parameters etc without having to use the OBD plug, but there are a few phone...

I find I'm driving everywhere in B5. Is there any way to make this the default when starting up and driving away?

LOL. Am I allowed to on the Mitsubishi forum? Its a 1974 DS23 Safari - that's the s/wagon (french call it a Break) with the rear seats and the raised roof at the back with roof rack. Its one of only 4 in Australia with BVH and one of the other four is a Australian enthusiasts conversion from...

Why did I choose an Outlander PHEV? I needed the size for my work, but I also wanted to get out of a gas guzzling ICE. With shorter drives these days the EV range lets me charge about once a week and practically never go into motor mode. I liked the 'safety' of the 4wd for trips away and...

Maybe its the 2.0l motor in a heavy vehicle. I just 6 weeks ago or so took delivery of a 2020 PHEV Exceed - 2.4l motor and slightly heavier 13.8 battery pack. 32,000 kilometres. I've never owned a EV of any description and elsewhere in this forum I have canvassed owners for information about my...

Yes - I'm beginning to see the effects of a new driver/owner change. I've been running the battery completely out and even when it gets to the three dashes I keep going until the motor starts kicking in. Now are a full uninterrupted charge I'm getting 40 - 41 klms range with AC on and 45 with it...

2020 PHEV Exceed. Okay - figured it out. So as stated, turning it off with the off button far right-hand end, and then hitting the fan button turned it all back on. I've figured out (duhhh) that I can turn off the AC by the middle of the left-hand knob but still have the rest of it on and can...

I find the handbook not to be written well and extremely complicated. I have been experimenting with EV range with and without the AC on. When turned off, I can see the little box with the arrows and they change with the mode switch. Understood. However, I cannot find how to increase the fan...

I still need to use the load area for small food forming machines I carry around for demo or picking up for servicing. With the tyre lying down I have no chance unless I fold the seat down and push the tyre onto it. Then indeed I would be concerned of it flying forward in an accident. (my...

My solution to carrying a spare tyre. I originally liked the swing out solutions that mounted to the tow bar, but then I realised I would lose the camera, the birds eye view and probably the reversing sensors as well. Plus of course it adds length to the vehicle. Underneath isn't big enough for...

So charged up last night. This morning in the driveway told me I had 41klms range. Turned the AC on before moving and it dropped to 37klms. Turned it back off as cool morning. Hadn't travelled more than 3 metres down the driveway and range dropped to 41 to 40. Short trip to work and its now at...

Another newbie question if I may - Has anyone experimented or had experience with increasing the castor on the front wheels to get a little bit more feedback of the road? I find the steering excellent in most ways other than its overly assisted and there is practically no road feel or feedback...

I had heard that to be a Jeep problem ending in shredded transfer boxes but never on any other car make. And even then there had to be a difference in the diameter but it was sensitive to be a new correct size tyre on the same axle as a worn correct size tyre on a Jeep. Is this the "real"...

Turned the AC off while driving a steady flat 50 klms/hr and it only added 2 extra kilometres to the range. The battery was just a smidgen under half way of its capacity with it flicking between 11 and 13 kilometres remaining AC on or off. I'll compare after a new full charge again asap. But...

Again - many thanks.

Here's a question for debate: I recently purchased a used 2020 outlander PHEV. I asked the dealer to throw in a spare tyre to the deal - just leave it in the load area. I told him I was quite happy with a space saver on a steel rim or a used wheel just as long as it was the same diameter and...

Thanks for the detailed reply - much appreciated. I have an OBD blutooth device from my BM I could use and have seen one of the Apps you mention - it seems to be very popular with PHEV owners and is referred to on YouTube a lot. But what would make it any more accurate than the "factory"...

Hi again. Most days were around 20 degrees with the last few being 28 - 29 degrees (I have been recording the ambient temp on my log sheet). AC on all the time. No other load other than myself - an embarrassing 104kg. Terrain mostly flat with one hill occasionally transversed and return down...

Update: it used the 5 klms and then went to - - - and the ICE cut in. Then after a very brief stop, I still ran on EV for another 4klms with the three dashes and now the motor cuts in and out quite regularly even with slight pedal use. So 33,186 and completely empty of battery. So 30 klms...
