MG4 in Australia

[Wil Tryharder]

Hi does anyone know if a tyre / wheel from a wrecked MG4 will fit on any of the cars wheels, i.e front left / right / back left / right ? I see a wrecked Mg4 and it has all 4 wheels so If I were to buy one wheel / tyre (as a spare for long country road trips) and if I get a puncture I can replace it with this from the wrecked Mg4 on any wheel of my vehicle ?

Good question, I like to know the answer too! And are there different sizes on different models? And what about type pressure sensors? Can anyone join in? How far from you is it? Without giving too much away ?. What’s the rest like? Ute conversion project maybe?

Yep, they are different tyre sizes.
You'll need to check.

Hey Oz MG4 crew. Is anyone else having trouble with iSmart today? Mine is showing the wrong state of charge this afternoon. It's exactly 20% above the actual charge

 

[decrep]

Mine was playing silly buggers, showed it charging when it wasn't, showed it not charging when it was.
But the actual state of charge agreed with the car.

 

[MozFromOz]

Pretty sure it's showing server cached data but it just shouldn't

Are you pulling down on the screen to refresh? Mine often shows the last known SOC when opening the app until I refresh.

 

[MozFromOz]

Yep. I've been swiping down. Still the same.

Baffles me why I have to repeatedly hit refresh to get a decent response and get bad data the first time. This is coding 101 to not return to the user until you have the correct information. I can only think they are using some horrible API and code by numbers toolkit rather than real programming.

I think there was an outage today. I got a single data point today at 17:24, which updated the status of everything. Normally I would see data points logged for today's drive.

One of the reasons for heading north is be under darker skies. So… we can have a live view of T Coronae Borealis. You know the recurring Nova that’s about to explode. No? Ok, no worries. I’ll keep an eye on it for you and send pics when it pops. ? Nothing yet.

 

[decrep]

Isn't the expected time frame very broad?
I'm sure we'll get James Web Pics on the net, but very nice to see it with your own eyes!
Good luck, no chance here, you can see Mandurah light pollution from 30kms away

And it magically came good.....

Keep your eyes peeled!

While I have a passing interest in astrophysics, I won't look for it because if I do it'll be delayed 'til next year when no one can see it.

But if it does go off, we should be able to see it from here as our local skies are dark enough.

Well, it's 3000 light years aways, so has more than likely exploded already with the light from the event on it's way, hopefully nearer 3000 years ago rather than much later.

‘If’ it follows its recent timeline before the end of September. If not, who knows. ?

This was the run to Agnes waters. 148 km no stops. 10% town and then between 80 and 100 kph. Most of the time it sat above 17kWh/100km I was trying to go easy on the pedal. Pretty flat leaving Bundy then there are some hills to go over.

Did u have air on ?

 

[Wil Tryharder]

So

Did u have air on ?

Sorry forgot that detail.
Yes we did!

 

[decrep]

And a head wind?

 

[Wil Tryharder]

And a head wind?

Yes, it was very windy on the way up. I couldn’t tell if it was full on head wind but certainly gusting all over the place. It felt steady though, heavier car I guess.
We‘ll be much lighter on the way down and we’re doing the trip in one hop. I’ll report back ?

Made a trip to a local, very large drive in bottle shop (that’s off licence in the uk).
Would anyone like to guess how the conversion went ??

 

[decrep]

Well he, (am I being sexist here?) can certainly fit in a lot more grog than you!
