Hello, all. I got a petrol-head friend to buy an 80k miles non-functional i-MiEV a few weeks back here in the UK. It was just up the road from him (500 miles away from me!) and he has expressed an interest in 'getting into EVs' for years so this seemed like a golden opportunity. He won it on...

Hi All, One of our i-miev clone fleet has suffered a broken spring that opens and keeps open the AC charge port open (when unlocked) and I can't find anything on line about it other than... Without it, f you close the lid properly, it is v difficult to get it open again when unlocked...

My poor old (SSE liveried) 2009 i-MiEV has developed a fault again having been my daily driver since I fixed its CMU LTC chip failure back in 2024 when I first bought it as a non-runner. It won't go to 'Ready' and nor will it charge AC charge. If I try to start it, the HV battery fan comes on...

Hi All, Much has been written about using various systems/diagnostic tools to get an idea of how much HV battery pack capacity remains in our (mostly) venerable i-MiEVs (and clones). I was wondering how accurate one could expect simply running the car to turtle mode and then measuring the...

Hi, I have found a few references on this forum to the ability to hack the Chademo port to close the 'dcqc relay' to permit charging of a badly discharged HV battery via the Chademo port. However I cannot find a definitive guide to this procedure. Can anyone point me in the right direction please?

Hi, One of our i-mievs partially lost the rear most section of its plastic underbelly last week, and upon investigation, we found the rear-most battery support bracket (the one that goes from one side of the battery box across to the other, both ends of which have a large bolt going through...

Hi, Has anyone any experience of replacing just the front strut top mount ie where it mounts to the body? I think mine is badly worn and is knocking. Is it possible to replace just the mount or does it come complete with the whole strut? Any ideas where to buy whatever is needed (ideally...

Hi, Apologies to those who may be offended by resurrecting this old thread. I have a rattling suspension on my 2009 i-MiEV which appears to be coming from the rear bush located in what the workshop manual calls the 'Control Arm'. It sounds like it is the offside one that is making the noise...

I'm in the UK (Highlands) and need, ideally, a spare front and rear wheel with a half-decent tyre on each to keep as spares for a quick repair for when one of our fleet of MiEVs gets a flat - quite regular on our rubbish roads... One might do but I don't know if the front and rears are...

Hi All, I recently acquired a Mitsubishi i-MiEV, first UK-registered in 2009 and one of the first to arrive here (apparently). It was originally red and white but was wrapped in SSE's green wind turbine logo thing (SSE is a large electricity generator/distributor in the UK). It also has a...

Hi All, I bought a MUT3 clone off eBay in 2014 which worked fine with my original iOn. I subsequently lent the MUT3 to someone outside the UK (sent it by post). It was eventually sent back and since then I have not used it as I sold on my iOn. I have recently bought a sick i-MiEV and now...

Hi, After a bit of research on the interweb looking for a replacement front wiper blade I ordered one of these a few days ago:- http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/270709990721?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT (advertised as '28" Aero Flat Driver Wiper Blade Citroen Dispatch...

Can anyone recommend a good Mitsu dealer near Tetbury to get the recall work done? I'm planning to visit a relative there soon and hope to get the car fixed whist I'm there and not needing it.

Hi, Quick run down on the pros and cons:- Pros:- Much cleaner, white light which arguably makes you stand out a bit more and therefore safer Uses less power, 0.2A/2.4W @ 12.0V (bench PSU) Vs 1.2A/14.4W for the original bulbs (each - tho didly-squat compared to the 10kW+ the motor...
