Been out for another 2 hour drive Zero issues Rock soild power to the amps / sub Full reload of all Spotify songs No more drop-outs anywhere On a winner Well my car has been similar too I suppose, so that's relevant enough! Been out in it and no issues as of yet. Eastern European lads, they know wh...

If I wasn't so invested in this I'd find it interesting. She's in the mechanic's again, this time a different auto electrician who was recommended by a bunch of different garages. He reckons it's not the wiring because it's so intermittent. Wires stay bad, they don't fluctuate in between working and...

I just spoke to the auto electrician again and apparently Mitsubishi have an error code that gets lost in translation. Engine Speed Input error can be mistranslated from Motor Speed Input error. (Error code: C1522) As I've previously said the engine speed sensors work fine. So this does give it some...

I thought wiring issue too but unfortunately it doesn't seem so. The mechanic said it beat them anyway, after two days with them there's nothing they can do. Took it back, went out to an auto electrician today. He was very thorough to be fair but he said it's shagged too. It doesn't appear to be a h...

Well it seems I was celebrating too soon. After about a month the power steering started cutting out and quickly got worse than ever to the point of being pretty much constantly off. So the car's been off the road for over a week now. In the mechanic again today and they haven't a clue. The chances ...

Cheers lads! And cheers for the advice down the line as well.

Well it's been about a year but I figure I should post a conclusion now just in case anyone is interested. Eventually I hunted down another steering rack for a good price from a scrapper. It was an updated version with a different part number but was still compatible with my Lancer, just a little ne...

Unfortunately the only info I could get was from the receptionist and they want me to come in when the fault is active to pinpoint exactly what it is. They said they checked the steering neutral position and it was all fine but didn't say if they made adjustments. I assume they didn't. Not great ser...

Uneducated possible theory I have, Seeing as it correlates with low speed.. The alternator was checked. It is fine. The battery is new too. So it's getting plenty of juice. But maybe the motor itself has an issue with receiving that power from the alternator. I assume once the car is at speed the mo...

Pretty but problematic.

Update, Finally got the car to the main dealers. They've a long waiting list. They told me pretty much what I already knew and you guys were on the ball. Your advice was free, the main dealers advice cost 110 quid. Fault wasn't active at the time so they couldn't tell me 100% for certain but narrowe...

I asked them day one when I was collecting the car and they said they didn't touch the steering. 'no need' they said. Which I knew was generally just time saving on their part and I intended on getting it done separately afterwards anyway. I had a ford in the past and I got new front shocks and had ...

Thanks lads. Sounds logical enough. So before getting the front shocks done there was an imbalance. The front left had worn out and the front right was still okay. I sent the car in for the NCT (Irish MOT, or yearly road worthy money racket test) which would have put more strain on the already worn ...

Ireland. So we only really have the most basic lancer available. 1.5 petrol saloon, 'intense' whatever that really means. Originally I would've thought it was hydraulic.. now I don't have the owners manual after buying it second hand but after my first glance under the bonnet I noticed the lack of a...

There's an image of the dash when it happens

Just so you know what I mean by service light
