    407 Mitsubishi Lancer Evo 2008-13 recalled
    By Karla Pincott · 31 Oct 2013
    Mitsubishi has announced a global safety recall on their performance hero, the Lancer Evolution, for a faulty clutch master cylinder on the five-speed H-pattern manual transmission. The defect means the rally rocket's clutch could fail and the vehicle be unable to be shifted in and out of gears, risking a collision.The recall affects more than 12,000 cars around the world built at Mitsubishi's Mizushima plant -- the sole source of the Evolution model -- between December 12, 2007 and March 5, 2013, and 407 in Australia. "There have been no incidents of failure in Australia," Mitsubishi spokesperson Shayna Welsh says. "A fix will take approximately three hours and customers will be advised to contact their local Mitsubishi dealer to book in their vehicle."The carmaker will notify owners, and their local Mitsubishi service centre will replace the clutch master cylinders of any affected cars.This reporter is on Twitter: @KarlaPincott

    Mitsubishi Lancer 2010: Is it possible to tamper with the odometer?
    Answered by Graham Smith · 30 Jan 2015

    Yes, it is possible to rewind the speedo. A 2010 Lancer would be expected to have done between 80,000km and 130,000km on average. If you suspect that a car has had its speedo tampered with you could check the service record and see the dates and the odometer readings from each service to see if the current reading fits the pattern of past use.

    Mitsubishi Lancer 2010: Dangerous crawl mode
    Answered by Graham Smith · 23 Nov 2012

    It does sound like a computer related problem, as you say. Go back to the dealer and be assertive, let them know you are not happy and won't go away until the problem is fixed. By all means contact Mitsubishi direct and request the factory get involved.

    Mazda servicing
    Answered by Graham Smith · 14 Jul 2011

    Mazda's service interval is every 6-months/10,000 km and while that might be more frequent than most other makes, servicing is what keeps our cars in tip-top shape and I wouldn't recommend you vary your service routine away from the Mazda recommendation. Doing that while the warranty is still in effect could become an issue if and when you had a warranty claim.

    Mitsubishi Lancer 2010: Unusual revving with CVT
    Answered by Carsguide.com.au · 24 Aug 2012

    Your car has a Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT), which is quite different to a conventional automatic transmission in the way it works. What you're observing is probably a characteristic of the CVT as the dealer has told you.
