Hi all, not been posting for a while, as have been extremely busy with work. I have two 2012 IMIEVs: both are currently not charging, and I had given my car to my parents, becasue I am now doing a 100 mile round trip every day. So: Imiev 1: 2012 Black standard 16Kw with Chademo - 54K miles...

Hi all, I have a 2012 car with about 22k miles that suddenly went in to limp mode, while circa 30% SOC, and then refused to AC 240v charge. 12V battery was also flat-ish, but the 12v battery itself is new. The car had been sitting for about a week, but it was up and driving. Then it refused...

Hi all, I have noticed on one of my IMIEVs for the past few years (and wore in the cold damp months) that very light pressure on the brake pedal is leading to excessive brake actuation - to the point where it is almost possible to lock (or as far as possible with ABS) the wheels. In summary...

So, the I went in for a service and the passenger air bag recall. The Mitsubishi service engineer told me that Mitsubishi allow 2.5 hours for this job, and it took them the entire day. There is no simple passenger air bag access - it required half of the dashboard being taken off. Also, because...

I noticed that this is now not opening via the release lever by the drivers seat (RHD) (and from other cars I have had, this tends to be due to a fault on the pin at the flap end). I am going to have to pull the inside trim off and have a look - does anyone know if there is a manual override...

New issue this. I noticed the last few times I activated the AC, that there was this graunching on start-up, which I initially got anxious about, but then discovered it to be the AC rad fan on start up only. Once it's at normal RPM, its fine. I cant see anything fouling the fan, nor anthing...

Happy New Year to all. My patents Black 2012 IMIEV has suddenly developed a brake force issue (recall was done at the appropriate time). From a low speed, when applying the brake, the force is way too high, and the car comes to a very sharp stop. My Silver 2012 IMIEV is fine. I saw something on...

So on Sunday I did a mild-British winter 55 mile round trip north out of London to the country and back on mainly smaller 50-60mph highways. It was fairly mild, but foggy and moisture rich air prevailed. I needed to preserve range on the outbound, so I only had the blower on to try to keep the...

Do others feel the motor tick along when stopped in traffic in with the brake pedal depressed. I would have thought the brake may stop the motor creep (i.e. electrically, rather than only mechanically), but I have noticed sometimes (all the time?) that the motor is trying to creep even when...

Just sold my 2002 Celica 2ZZGE. Suffice to say this was the second best car I ever owned (best was a 1999 Prelude 2.2 VTEC). Bought it in 2008 for £5K, sold last week for £2.8K, that was 8 years of trouble free ownership, that cost me £275 per year in depreciation in nominal terms. Never went...

Balls, well unless they supply your domestic electricity...: 'I’m writing to you as a member of the Electric Highway to let you know of a significant change to our service. After five years of providing charging for free, we’re moving to a ‘charging for charging’ model. When we began in July...

Are you British, or do you just love us? We could end up being the 51st state if we vote to leave the EU tomorrow... hmm then we would have to listen to Trump more/ possibly have him as a leader.

Or so it would appear: http://www.mitsubishi-cars.co.uk/imiev/ 'Sold Out' meaning no longer available.

I've had a quick trawl through the forum, and couldn't find a good thread for this after my limited flick through. I was giving a work colleague a lift today in the IMIEV, and he asked the question: what gives the whirring noise under load - to which I said ' the transmision - 1 fixed gear'...

Note the brown seats and door inserts, the front of the dashboard is also brown:

I was looking on the main UK used car site that isn't ebay, and I saw this I...

As title really. I am taking advantage of the UK government grant for a home charger, and the cost of the 32A 7Kw and 16A 3.3Kw were the same, so I went with the 32A one naturally. I was just wondering if the I-MIEV was compatable with 7KW AC charging, or will I only get 3.3KW utility? Only...

Just a quick one. With the Omron remote to be used for internal climate control while plugged in - do you have to set the various controls beforehand when you leave the car, or does the remote fully automate the CC program? My default, like I guess would be others on here is to keep everything...

Hi all, I have been surfing around the forum for a few weeks. I bought a 2012 Silver I-MIEV with 'Keiko' trim and 11,000 miles, replacing my 2002 Celica VVTL-I, which I really loved. So far so good. Definitely great for my residence in the suburbs of north London. Basic spec is as follows...
