MG4 Reduction Gearbox Oil Leak

The lack of basic technical knowledge amongst sales staff re EV's is kinda depressing

Sadly that is also the case in Australia regardless of vehicle type. 90% of sales staff do not have a clue and will not take the time to study up on the vehicles they are selling. Even if they read their own brochures they could gain some basic knowledge.
If you ask them for the power and torque of the vehicle they look at you as though you have a mental issue.
They seem to just expect you to briefly check the car over, sit in it and perhaps go for a drive and then sign on the dotted line without any further interaction with them.

So true To be fair though, the average new car buyer probably wants to know about paint colours and the infotainment system, not who manufactures the constant velocity joints on the vehicle, so I guess we should cut the sales executives some slack.

Yep...it is only old timers like me I suppose who have owned a dozen or so different vehicles going back to the 1960's and who, in our err....maturing years, want to know the mechanics and capabilities etc. of new vehicles whether they be ICE or EV.
Sales men/women must dread seeing our types enter their showroom.

Yes. You can't beat an experienced knowledgeable amateur antiquarian ?

antiquarian

As opposed to an antiqatarian (someone opposed to holding the world cup in a small middle eastern country)?

When I was young I was not very bright but could lift heavy things, now I'm old, I'm still not very bright but can't lift heavy things.

Reminds me of this one. "I started out with nothing and I've still got most of it left".

Well, my calf did a bit a fortnight ago doing calf raises and is still a bit sore. It's actually a war wound from a muscle tear dong them in 2010

That's exactly what our undertray bulge looks like. We drove through some serious rain puddles today, but nothing seems to have worsened down there.
