    Will this stand up in court ?

    Sorry, had too many friends killed and maimed by idiots behind the wheel of a car. I have little tolerance for people making jokes about safe driving.

    Will this stand up in court ?

    The driver is responsible for the safe and legal management of the vehicle. What shoes you happen to wear is not a defence for not upholding such responsibilities. If you need a rest, you have a rest. If you need to change shoes, you change shoes. Just because it might be "inconvenient" to do so...

    What car did your MG4 replace?

    After the Golf, my wife loves the regen in her ZSEV (it's quite not as strong as MG4's default level 3) and one day came home after a short trip to town all worried because the regen wasn't working - it was her first time after a full charge to 100%. I'd forgot to mention to her about regen not...

    What car did your MG4 replace?

    2018 Mercedes Benz GLC250d with all the extras. We no longer needed the larger vehicle and its upkeep costs were insane. After just 40,000 km I was up for $5k of work. Not helped by MB being one of the worst customer service organisations we have here. My wife was driving my old 2007 Golf TDI...

    How does you inverter go with the wide differential between charged and discharged voltages of this chemistry?

    Rear wheels travel at different speeds around bends and corners and the car knows when it is going left or right (it has accelerometers) so can determine which wheel is tracking the inside vs outside of the turn/curve.

    Our next closest is Port Macquarie 245 km round trip. I would very much like to avoid needing to go there. Hmmm, seems to be different info out there on this. My understanding is if a new sensor is fitted then it needs to be registered to the car and that requires the dealer to perform that...

    I thought they automatically sensed the right location? That sucks.

    Keeping track of my MG4 (efficiency)

    In March we moved home so I was doing a lot of towing. This was the first load being dropped off to my shed. I did 20+ loads. Winter here is June to mid-August but it's not really all that cold.

    Two full years with the MG4. Here's the stats:

    It would seem so. I'll add it to the feedback and also the list of items to attend to when it goes back in for the under tray and driver's seat fix in November. I wonder what was upgraded based on their service report? Certainly the software managing ELK was changed, as has ACC as both operate...

    Have always had pull down menu, as I said I use it to dim the screen at night because it's so stupidly bright. This is what I get:

    What was the IP rating? If it's IP 21 like a Victron Multiplus then it's unsuitable for outdoor installation. The installer should've known that and have either designed a suitable housing or chosen a more suitable product. The installer themselves are liable for warranty claims.

    You still need to know what earth-neutral link arrangement it requires of the generator. If your system is expecting a generator without an internal E-N link (as would be the case for most home backup generators because the home's main circuit board already provides the E-N link) then your V2L...

    If you are able to charge home batteries with an AC charger, that is really the only viable option for using V2L to power a home. Home is then powered by the home battery inverter and not the V2L directly. Attempting to power a home with V2L via, e.g. a power inlet and transfer switch, is going...

    48 V grid-tied battery systems compatible with with plug-in AC chargers are not that common here.

    I've always had the pull down screen but there's no option to disable LKA/ELK. What I have used it for is changing screen brightness. Which reminds me of a pet hate - driving this car in the dark. Even at the lowest settings the interior light level is ridiculous and the headlights are crap...

    I see no option for that. That is if you mean when you swipe down from the top of the Home screen.
