It needs to be compatible with the safety systems for the home and the power source. Plug my generator into the home's power inlet and flip the transfer switch to isolate from the grid, no problems, generator powers the home. Same with an off-grid inverter designed for it. Try it with the...

Yeah, sounds fine.

Never had that happen while driving. Before starting once, yes. How the condition of the 12 V battery?

I account for things like discharging V2L - that gets removed. In the end though it's just an expression of how you use your car.

Economy for March was much worse than usual as I did a lot of towing (we moved home). I'd say there would be something like 1,200 km of towing work in that. Costs are also up as I have been charging with grid power at the new place and I need new utility smart metering to get access to cheap...

Apart from the space saver (or a full sized wheel), you carry a car jack and a wheel brace (and any lock nut adapater) so you can do the wheel change yourself. The Golf would have had those too. See this video, it's pretty handy guide on doing a wheel change and some of the replacement and...

Yeah the increase in energy consumption has been pretty reasonable all things considered.

Keep in mind the MG4 has a 500 kg tow limit, so it's only for light duty. My trailer is tare 232 kg, leaving 268 kg for loads. It still enables us to do quite a lot fortunately. Took another snap today, this time of the car with the roos in the background:

My daily trailer loads continue. Economy is taking an expected hit, and because of the change of routine I've been charging overnight rather than during the day when it's uber cheap. Sold some furniture to a young couple who just got keys to their first house yesterday, so I ran that down to...

Under 2.5 t only one is required in NSW. 🐢🐢🐢

Further to my earlier post about getting a trailer: https://www.mgevs.com/threads/mg4-in-australia.13438/page-83#post-357455 I've been busy doing heaps of loads for our home move, plus one to the tip today, another tomorrow. More than a dozen loads so far. Car has handled it all very well. Me...

All in good time. I have some cabinets, workbenches and shelves to bring over. Was thinking in longer term to construct an office/workshop/workout facility inside, perhaps with a mezzazine on top for storage. That's someway down the priority list however.

All good here, we just had a huge amount of rain, about a metre of rainfall across the local catchment. Winds down here were not that bad. No issues for us personally other than it being dismal. Roads were cut but we expected that and had planned for it. Despite the awful weather we somehow...

My scanner says 100% at 21.6k km and a few months shy of two years since manufacture. Not that it means much since SOH numbers come from an unknowable black box.
