Frequently Asked Questions

  • If your Mitsubishi came with one of these units from the factory, it very likely will. I cover Evo 1,2,3,4,5 & 6, some Galants, and other Mitsubishi models that used the same unit family. Not sure? Contact me with your model and year and we'll confirm before you order.

  • The most common failure is electrolytic capacitor degradation. These units are 25–35 years old and the original capacitors weren't built to last forever. Over time they leak and the corrosive fluid eats through the PCB and nearby components. Symptoms include a blank or dim display, red horizontal lines on the display, unresponsive buttons, or intermittent operation. We replace all electrolytics capacitors as standard and inspect for any other faults at the same time.

  • Most units require a VFD or LCD (display) replacement in addition to a capacitor recap — in my experience, around 9 in 10 repairs involve both. I’ll assess your unit on arrival and let you know. We confirm before we start work.

  • Contact me first so we know to expect your unit, then ship it to our address using a tracked courier. I’ll assess and typically repair it within 1 business day of receipt, confirm the price, invoice you, and ship it back. Total turnaround is typically 3–5 days depending on courier times.

  • In rare cases a unit is beyond economical repair. If that happens I’ll let you know before proceeding and won't charge you for work we couldn't complete. We can discuss options including a swap for a refurbished unit at a discounted price.

  • When you buy a refurbished unit you can save $150 by returning your old unit to us. This helps us keep donor units in circulation. You can send it before or after receiving your replacement — we’re flexible. Sending it afterwards means you can re-use the packaging I use to ship out your refurbished unit. Overseas buyers are welcome to take up the offer if the shipping economics make sense.

  • Yes. I’ve shipped to Australia, the UK, USA and further afield. International buyers pay actual shipping costs and I offer a range of options from economy parcel to faster courier services. Contact me for a customised shipping quote to your location before ordering if the default option shown doesn’t suit you.

  • I offer a 12 month warranty on all refurbished units and repairs. If something isn't right, get in touch and I’ll sort it out. I stand behind my work.

  • Good luck finding one! They almost never come up, and when they do there's no way to know if it actually works. A refurbished unit from HusBen Industries has been fully recapped, tested, and verified before it leaves. You also get a 12-month warranty. It's not really a comparison.

  • I’ve been working with electronics since I was a kid and working on my own cars for over 30 years. I started repairing and refurbishing these units as a specialist hobby in 2025, working on dozens of units before formalising HusBen Industries. This isn't a sideline for a general auto electrician — it's all I do.
