Yes.

That sentence doesn't even make sense 🤷‍♀️

Yes, obviously. Not sure why you posted that when I originally said and have repeated that a N-E bond must be made at the generation source... Regarding... RVD's seem to be an Australian thing and not generally available or used in the UK. A floating system is relatively safe for connection...

My 2p worth... As far as possible I try to avoid getting tied in with proprietary systems as, invariably, the company disappears, changes their modus operandi or makes products obsolete. IIRC Givenergy have a range of non-proprietary (regular 16S, low-voltage) systems as well as newer...

But gas filled shock absorbers still have oil to provide damping - the gas just helps stabilize the oil IIRC. My OH just said that he considers shock absorbers to be consumable items, albeit with a few years worth of usage in them.

(y) In that case I'll adjust my comment to... :eek:

It's pretty dismal really, isn't it :( To think... I nearly bought an MG4 from EMG 😲

That is NOT what I was saying... I specifically said ... You need to create a TT earthing arrangement for the RCD to work. Maybe better explained using this extract from the excellent Victron "Wiring Unlimited" book. The right-most diagram is what I have been detailing in this thread.

Zero. The inverters will cut out when grid power is lost. If that didn't happen users would be electrocuted from the live plug. That's a very good question. The PW3 is great for backup capability out-of-the box. However, IMHO, you should never connect a generating supply to an...

Phew! Clever cat :)

Oh no.. not another one :( Worth taking a read of this thread - similar issue (though he rejected the MG (not MG4)) - IIRC the OP got estimates for the price of a 3rd party warranty, which is detailed somewhere in the thread. ETA: found it - see postings #33 & #34...

(y) I'm interested what benefits "plug-in" solar would add over having addition regular panels and inverter / micro-inverter installed? Cost, I guess 🤷‍♀️ Ditto.

As you will have read in my post #9 earlier, Germany has a different domestic wiring scheme that uses radial, rather than ring, finals; thus mitigating many of the issues ;)

No worries. Vehicles must only have one fog light and then it makes sense to have one reverse light on the other side. The fog light is on the offside, so you know which side to overtake! ETA: See also Reversing 💡 | MGS5 EV Forum

Correct - that is not an area of safety concern that I am aware of. Absolutely - also for those that only have space for a couple of panels in the garden (y) The key concern is introducing a generation device on the load (= user) side of the existing protection devices such as MCB's or RCD's...
