    Electric battery lawn mower

    Anyone who buys a petrol mower these days has rocks in their head IMHO. I just moved to a 1.4 acre property & bought an 80 volt zero turn mower. Priced at $10,000.00, I got it for $5,000.00 due to some minor damage but still with a 6 year warranty. It is a Ryobi with a 42 inch cut, 3 variable...

    MG4 in Australia

    Absolutely water logged like almost all of the East Coast. Only been here 3 weeks but we got nearly 80mm last week.

    MG4 in Australia

    There is quite an extensive list of checks for the service on the Geoff King web site for the 40k service. It includes the cabin filter & 12V battery. I asked for ALL software updates & a tyre rotation & resetting of the TPS so they are all on the correct corners plus of course the drivers...

    MG4 in Australia

    I got an email from my dealer saying my first 40k/2 year service was due so I booked on line. I've had no issues since I got the under tray fix done back in January 24 & now have over 35k km on the clock. I went out to the garage to go into town & the drivers window won't open. Dead as a...

    Does anyone use their wireless charging mat. Other use.

    My phone doesn't charge wirelessly anyway & I have 2 USB C cables poking up through the mat, 1 for charging only & the other for AA or AC. Wireless charging is quite slow anyway.

    MG4 in Australia

    The AU version has light, dark & 100 years themes. I use the 100 years theme. The maximum charge can be set to pretty much any %. 80% & under states 'Health Mode & 90-100% states long journey mode. Also I agree with decrep. Sometimes when I have the car connected to the 7kW EVSE & it is set for...

    MG4 in Australia

    That's what I do except I don't lock the car is it is in my locked garage. I don't have any software to charge from excess solar so if the battery is down and it is a sunny day I just use iSmart to start the charge a bit earlier sometimes at 20 amps & then up to 32 amps when solar energy is...

    The latest Powershop EV day plan still shows a shoulder tariff. Even if the wholesaler doesn't have a shoulder rate what is to stop the retailer having one when the smart meter uploads are done every half hour. The supply charge has now gone up to 222.91 cents/day from 187.00 cent/day. Retail...

    My rates for the just renegotiated EV Day plan are the same but I don't have controlled load. Supply charge though is $1.87/day & I still get the 0.014 FIT. Peak is only 5-8pm Mon-Fri. Shoulder & off peak are the same. There is discussion among the retailers of actually charging for feed in...

    Driving MG4 to Zero%

    Never been below 5% but the car has never reduced power or made any comment other that the standard message at 20% & 10%. The 2.3% buffer from the so called 61.7% usable to dead empty probably gives a bit of crawl distance. I haven't been game to try it though.

    There is a specified list for the 2 year & 4 year service. It used to be on the MG website but you can ask for it when you book the car in. It also includes all software updates but most of the service is checking things. Mine is due in early September & I will be getting them to rotate the...

    All the sources I have checked say the percentage is 20.9 but even if it was 19%, an extra 1.9% is hardly likely to give you a big energy boost.

    Social Media influencers are useful idiots but......

    A forum friend on another site lives in China and has been there for over 15 years. He rarely posts stuff now as every time he mentions how he can get things done so easily there etc he is jumped on by a bunch of others who seem to believe everything that the politicians tell us. The human...

    260 kPa in Winter when tyres are quite cold will keep the TPMS happy. When it warms up in Spring just return to 250 kPa. I check mine every month or 2, there is no set routine. If I forget the TPMS will remind me.

    Interesting. The air is 78% Nitrogen & 21% oxygen so it must be oxygen or the other 1% of other gasses that permeates through the tyre wall or valve. That said the pressures stay at their set level for a long time & it is usually only with changes in the ambient temperature that eventually...
