If the camper van is registered as a motorhome with a bed that meets the requirements (folding or permanent) then as long as you’re on a campsite or private land it’s ok but parked up at the side of the road can be an issue . Parking at the side of the road or car parks require you to follow the...

My local MG dealership is great they sell other brands also under the company umbrella name Richmond Motor Group- I’ve had an MG ZS ev, MG5 and now driving an MG4 and no problem with them as a company, if there were issues (charge flap on the 5 and the usual services and software updates) it’s...

Not for the majority- it’s the same for ice vehicles you hear about the small negatives and problems but not the other 95% that have no problems. I’ve been driving electric for 11 years riding and building my own stuff (including batteries) for 15 years and only issue I’ve had was charging port...

If it shuts off quickly once at 100% it is balanced with in parameters already, regularly charging to 100% will help reduce the time needed to balance at the top end although it is managed through discharge and charge also not just at the top.

From my MG4 I’ve used twin induction hob and fan heater when camping with no issues, charged up e-bikes and run power tools- charged a Renault Zoe for an hour with no issues too.

It doesn’t matter when you start the charge or what speed the charge is, granny, fast, rapid, as all charge rates will will slow to the same speed towards the end of charging and once you hit the 100% will go into balance mode Leave it charging until the charge stops and the battery management...

You can run a DC to AC inverter (separate from the car system) directly connected to the HV DC battery output- there’s even space under the bonnet for the unit- there are some self converted electric vehicles that have done this. Classic Electric Cars recently did a VW camper. You would have to...

I had the xpower for the day while my Trophy was in for a service and the LKA and TJA were much better than my Trophy- even after all the software updates on my car. Everything was reset though so maybe after a longer drive it may recalibrate ?

Did several standing starts in sport mode but didn’t get into track mode this time. Had some fun kicking the back end out and drifting on slimy roundabouts. It’s a great fun through messy, gravelly, slimy country A/B roads and was enjoying the front motor spinning up to pull out of fast corners.

It’s not going to have a big impact as the amps/Kw draw is very minimal compared to the draw from the motor under power or when charging, most users will probably only use 5kwh at 10-20amps at the most so the equivalent to 20 miles of driving pulling hundreds of amps is quite low stress...

It’s the generic copy for a service so if the oil and filters are scheduled it’s done but obviously not necessary here ?? (just yet). £88.70 so a good price for a check over, software updates and wash and vacuum, I had an Xpower for the day too that was fully charged so a good deal. Richmond MG...

Just had my 15,000 mile service today and the R46 update- this is the list (Trophy 64kwh) Carry out 1st annual service in line with manufacturer schedule including oil and filter change, visual health check, any outstanding manufacturer campaigns and free wash & vac Carry out MG campaign RC008...

Why would anyone pay that when you can get one for £5,000 used, the manufacturing cost is under $7,000. I smell dealership mark up. I’ll see if I can get into the manufacturing parts lists to check factory pricing for dealerships, I’m not in the car industry anymore but have been researching...

Hers a bit rate list for DAB radio across most UK stations, some are even in mono on some popular broadcasts. https://www.astra2sat.com/british-radio/uk-digital-radio-bitrates/ The sound (or quality) can drop off randomly in some areas due to a fall in bit rate especially if it’s only...

Really, that sounds odd as surely the car as a whole is used to determine future values and depreciation, after all you wouldn’t separate the motor and charger. As someone who builds batteries from salvaged ev packs I’d ignore any reference to new replacement packs as you can get a complete low...

Changed it

I was initially going to get another pair of crossovers and wire them up in the door just for the mid drives to save routing another cable but the sound is fine how it is. I’ve done a full frequency test and is good and the rears get full range despite reports of them only being mid to low. As...

Glad it helped. The subwoofer settings muddle up the sound now the speakers can work across a lower frequency, they don’t need software enhancements to cover up the poor quality like the original ones do ?

Here’s a link to my YouTube install video there are details in the description, I have posted on here but this is probably quicker. Speakers Vibe Slick6-V7 6.5 component fronts and coaxial rears. I got my speakers from a Vibe eBay shop that were new unused without original packaging so were...

Yes upgraded the rear speakers too, I have the Trophy ?
