Mitsubishi Lancer 2008: Coil spring replacement?

NOWHERE I'm afraid. When you modify a vehicle by fitting aftermarket springs you are deviating from the manufacturer's specification and taking responsibility for that modification yourself. You should talk to Lovells about any warranty they might have that might cover you. As for the concept cars, they are attention-grabbers that carmakers use at shows to increase traffic through their stands, and should not be taken to suggest you can do the same with your car and expect the maker to pick up the tab should anything go wrong.

Mitsubishi Lancer 2008: Keyless entry and pacemakers?

IT SOUNDS a good suggestion, but it probably comes down to those people who are affected checking the suitability of the systems before they buy a car. I would think you and your wife would have been advised by your doctors of the many dangers you need to be aware of in things we use in our everyday lives, including cars, so you should be well aware of the questions you need to ask. I'm sure it would be helpful if carmakers did include the sorts of warnings you want in their sales literature, but I doubt it will ever happen.

Small gas query

ROB Chadwick, of Mitsubishi, told us that all carmakers in Australia are dependent upon the aftermarket LPG industry for their kits. The only technology available in Australia is gaseous injection. Direct injection is kept from the market here by an ongoing legal battle over the patent. There is no kit for the Lancer, yet, but one is in development by an aftermarket supplier and Mitsubishi hopes it will be available before the middle of the year.
