Lofoten Islands in the summer . (y)

The key buttons unlocked and locked the doors, but the key wouldn't turn in the steering column switch. Neither of us could turn it. 12V Aux battery was new and had good volts. A bit scary, began to sound like a faulty key sensor. The penny dropped eventually - the car has a steering lock...

"in order to start, the foot brake must be firmly applied." When we bought our 2011 MIEV last year I was surprised to find it would go into Ready without the footbrake being pressed. Unlike our Mitsubishi PHEV, which will only go into accessory mode if the brake isn't pressed. There is some...

If it's the same model tyre as the other side front, and that one isn't too worn.

A 12V battery that has repeatedly been allowed to drain to "dead" may not recharge. As soon as you connect the "charged" battery onto the car it may briefly power the car and then die. Do the multi meter tests kiev suggests. And look after the new battery........ :->

I don't know if it's the same on the North American model, but the "gear selector" indexing can be adjusted on the gearbox, by rotating the mounting plate on the shaft that goes into the gearbox. There are alignment notches, or alignment holes. If that doesn't work then slight offset one way or...

Maybe my science is wrong, but won't a heavy Tesla coast for longer, and Regen more on steep hills ? Potential Energy proportional to mass ? And the skinny non-USA MIEVs should have reasonable Cd ?

My UK 2011 charging experience is opposite - charges at Type 1 public, but many CHAdeMo chargers will not connect. Slava Ukraini!

If you mean the small repeater on the side it's MR522027, with a clear lens. That number seems to apply to lots of Mitsi models, so is only a few bucks to replace.

I thought US production didn't start until October 2011, maybe your 2009 was one of those evaluation models sold to governments ? In the UK I've had the same experience of only a few brands of CHAdeMO chargers working. I've seen images in this section of I-MIEV's with the rear seats out ? I...

Nobody ?

Hi Impressive load carrying ! "100km a day to work 5 days a week " You must have had to charge all night every night ! Were alloy wheels not standard for the US version ?

Need to get to the wiring on the back of this fusebox buried deep under the bonnet to do a mod, but the fixings are not obvious to me. Any ideas please ?

Bought in August 2023, 55,000 miles. Cost £2500 Just washed it so a bit streaky Bit of a gamble at that price, but it did 55 miles to get us home. Which is perfect for our needs. The yearly government test advised that the rearmost rubber bush on both front suspension lower arms were...

Great story - thanks

Factoring in the return from the charging station, the price of the big battery might be considered to be more cost effective than most critics believe.

So no estimation of how long it might take to really get to 100%, or to Balance, whichever is taking so long?

I've added images to the original post. I only had a yellow LED but it works fine.

How long does it take to Balance, to get to where the Charging Indicator on the dash goes out ? I've charged for 8 hours of 4hr Off-Peak electricity periods at 16A, sits at Full on the "Petrol Gauge" but the Indicator never goes out ?

Thanks. Yes I should eventually get the memory right, my wife has the same difficulty. I've realised that the cabin lights stay on for a while, so the driver's door can be closed while I'm groping.
