I‘ve got into the habit of switching off LKA or change to alert only as part of my pre drive checks, it’s no way nearly as annoying as the MG5 turning the radio on every time you start up! Also the NCAP safety tests are great but remember they test at very low speeds because if they did anything...

Normal or sport, highest regen, control the level of regen with the throttle on down hill sections with some longer down hills in neutral coasting (you can coast by getting the power meter on ‘0‘ by feathering the throttle too). Eco is ok but you can eco drive in Normal/sport mode with better...

Petersfield to Manchester Centre managed 3.8 miles per kWh, mainly duel carriageway and motorway. Raining most of the way so aircon, heat, wipers, lights etc on. 100% start, first stop at 175 miles and 4 hours of driving arrived with 28% and 67miles range. 18 mins for a toilet and coffee grab...

Defin Yes definitely worth the effort, cost was minimal as the speakers were new unboxed from eBay, £29 for the rears and £34 for the fronts. Its been a while while since I've done an upgrade like this too, my usual builds are an empty van I'm turning into a camper or custom home systems. If...

I have posted this with the thread already up re speakers but put it here as well. Upgraded the front and rear speakers with Vibe Slick6-V7 6.5 component fronts and coaxial rears. I used the original speaker mounts modified to fit the new ones, you can use aftermarket spacers they need to be...

Finally got the YouTube video up of my speaker install so will post here to help the with the knowledge base.

The V2L is very useful, I’ll be doing some more testing soon with camping and cooking on a twin hob induction hob. I’m also going to rig up a generator switch on my home electric supply so I can take advantage of the overnight tariff, then use the car to power the house...

Installed a boot liner from AliExpress to replace my very worn out one. Fits very well and seems to be well made, I chose black with blue stitching to match the car interior. Also removed the hump for raising the floor level as don't use it and it makes a bit more space for the big dog. There is...

I just installed this one from AliExpress.

Mine was Dec 20th 2022, Trophy, and is definitely 11kw. It can be difficult to see the metal at the rear of the pins, I have noticed that some charge ports are more obvious than others.

Mine are still good after nearly 2,000 miles. Better that they fail if hit hard than being so stiff that it damages the cars panels.

I liked the Model 3 but no hatchback makes it a no for my use and not keen on the SUV style of the Y. Not much in it on the road though. Had a Model 3 pull out to pass me going from a 30 to a 60 zone, they had to pull back in as I pulled a few car lengths on them, we stopped at the same services...

There’s usually a time limit in the car park for parking, my local one is 4 hours.

While picking up groceries in Tesco and shopping in town, it’s a central town car park so good to get some free electrons and parking from VW group while supporting the local community. It’s not free anymore but still at a reduced rate and subsidised by VW Group as part of their payback for...

The AC charge points are 230v power supplies and it’s simple to make up a cable with a 3 pin mains socket. I was using the free podpoints at Tesco to top up my ebike battery (3.7kwh) and my 6kwh electric sail boat pack (which I also use to run my garage electrics) when topping up the car.

The tweeter cover is tough to pry out, I put a bit of gorilla tape on the dash to protect it then used a small flat blade screwdriver to lift the corner to get a plastic pry tool in, then it takes a very hard pull to remove it. It’s very flexible so it won’t split or pull the tabs off. I can’t...

It’s going well, rears installed, front tweeters in and door sound deadening in. I didn’t use the speaker mounts I bought as they weren’t very good, they split when tightening and too brittle. I adapted the existing speaker mounts by cutting out the old drivers, I will post up a video soon (just...
