    Illuminated "Ignition Switch"

    I find it difficult to locate the slot in the steering lock with the key, particularly when it's dark, for RHD the lock is shaded by the upper shroud. And sometimes that causes me to hit one of the buttons on the key, which sets the alarm off. So I've fixed an 8mm panel-mounted LED into the...

    UK CHAdeMo DC Chargepoints that work with the I-MIEV ?

    Charging has failed at BP Pulse and two Instavolts, that ZapMap CHAT suggest are working for other brands of cars. The Instavolt units connected and counted down, then Clunked and went to a red-light FAIL on the unit. Only Shell Recharge has worked. Not a large dataset, as I have only had the...

    CHADEMO stops at 66% ?

    Tried the CHAdeMO at our local Shell Recharge. Forgot to take my CaniON tablet with me - AGAIN ! First attempt didn't start charging. Second attempt worked. At the start the EVSE display showed: SOC 58% Charging Rate 8kW Car was showing 20 miles and petrol gauge was around...

    CHADEMO stops at 66% ?

    On a trip out yesterday we passed a Retail Park with CHAdeMO chargepoints from BP, Instavolt, and Gridserve. But the locations on ZapMap and Google where so poor I only had time to find two of them. And I forgot to take CanION with me :-< Tried several Instavolts with 20 miles of range...

    The Troubleshooting and Repair for On-board Charger (OBC) Thread

    My experience with the multitude of ribbon cables connecting all the boards on a Canon Digital Camera: Mark a line across the ribbon where it enters the socket with a Sharpie. Then you will know how far to re-insert the ribbon, and whether it is square-on.

    Pretty bad transmission stuttering issue/sticking shifter.

    Hi clovi "I have noticed my car's transmission stuttering problem since the beginning" Not sure what you mean by that ? There should be error codes that can be read by the dealer that should pin-point the problem. "I need to deal with the sticking shifter" The shifter cable rotates a shaft...

    Our 2014 iMiev has reached 80K miles and is still going strong!

    Snap ! 2014 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV for me. Electric only for most of my trips, about 25 miles range when the weather is warm. Ideal for the occasion 240 mile trip to visit the kids. Given the state of the UK charging infrastructure. Just bought a 2011 I-MIEV for the wife (aka Home...

    Supplemental cooling for the charger.

    Thanks Mickey for the kind words on my lash-up :-> Maybe I'll do some tests at some point in the future. But at the moment I'm happy to rely on the research and tests by Aerowhatt etc.

    Supplemental cooling for the charger.

    Ever since getting our MIEV in September we've home-charged with the metal cover over the On Board Charger (OBC) propped open, as I found the top of the OBC was getting fairly hot. Having to unscrew the four wingbolts every time was somewhat tedious, so I've now added a 12V centrifugal cooling...

    12V source, only when Slow Charging

    Thanks Kevin 1) Yes my typo for the E-03 pin. 3) Am I missing something, is inserting an image that complicated ? I had seen the icon. My full Google Drive link is, less the https prefix: ://drive.google.com/file/d/1TKND1mnvkGlJbk2yt21aK0ZII0sUqI6R/view?usp=share_link Your suggested link...

    12V source, only when Slow Charging

    Looking for a 12V source under the rear boot floor, to power a fan to cool the DC-DC Converter and On Board Charger, only during Slow Charging. From the circuit diagrams it appears that 12V is available on Connector E-03 when the On-Board Charger Relay is energised. Relay Pin 1 Violet, to...

    RHD drivers seat heating always on

    I have just discovered that the mystery round switch with a push button is for a Cobra Car Alarm. There are movement sensors on the windscreen frame at top left and top right. Apparently the push button arms and disarms by combinations of button-pushes. It doesn't seem to be doing anything so...

    A mystery force - car will start but won't move

    After very heavy rain on Wednesday 20th September, our MIEV brakes started grabbing. Okay at 30mph, but by the time the speed was reduced to walking pace by the brakes, the brakes came on full. This was repeatable. Next morning, on application of the brakes, I could hear the brake pads...

    Maintenance of Gearbox .... Transmission Fluid Change

    Changed the transmission fluid on my 2011 55K miler. Bought 1 litre of Febi 29934 ATF. Spec "Mitsubishi SPII/III / Special ATF / Dia Queen ATF J2" Black stuff drained out, red stuff went in, 750ml. Used a 250ml syringe with a long plastic tube to fill while the car was level. Also checked...
