I tried to order some of those MG centres for my MG4, but they won't send them to the colonies it appears ..... But I did find some M4 with BMW stripes discs to go in the bottom of cupholders ..... no idea why, no one but those in the car would see them ..... then again :rolleyes: Thinking of...

After giving you a bit of time to calm down, I wasn't rubbishing people for coming on the forum seeking help, that is what a forum is all about. What I was commenting on was the severity of complaints used to judge a good car from a bad car ..... is the heater setting not being in line with what...

A small solar panel on the dash would top up a lead acid battery if the car was left out in the sun, prolonging the battery life by a number of yrs ..... but 10 yrs is about the life of a lead acid battery, no matter how carefully to maintain it .... apart from the big flooded cell batteries...

Doing the pound to AUD conversion, you people pay a lot for your cars is 25k is a bargain price ..... Is that full on road with all the taxes and rego paid? T1 Terry

Probably gave him a thrill, a bonny young lass following close behind him ..... driving through the night in such bad weather, glad you made it home safely .... now I guess you will be sleeping all day, you people certainly have strange sleeping hrs over there :LOL: T1 Terry

We are heading into the big solar time of year, but still spring so from stinking hot to raining to freezing cold (well, it was 37°C two days ago, it's 9°C now, so freezing cold). Haven't got the solar on the Winnie yet, been busy cleaning the slab up to put the 2 x 40 ft containers in so I can...

We have a few hills that steep over here as well, but there is always a speed camera at the bottom :eek: T1 Terry

If there isn't a live stream .... from the 12V battery, I'm guessing a walk is the next plan :rolleyes: Will there be a video available? T1 Terry

Do these blokes get paid by the minute or something, even at 2X speed he was waffling on and it took to the 5th min to reach another slide ..... that was about my limit I'm afraid I'm all for improving the climate, but I don't have enough time left to sit through that sort of dribbling on ...

"Here with baited breath", said the cat who ate the cheese;):LOL: T1 Terry

I wouldn't do that, lead acid batteries are very slow charging. There is a sudden inrush current, then the voltage rises to the point the charge control limits the input current to stop the battery going over voltage. The more sulphated the battery is, the faster that max charge voltage is...

Accept for the vehicle warranty being voided ;) :eek: If I actually get to recovering either of the MG4s I bought at the salvage auction, I'd like to fit a Zombie Inverter board and take it to local drag and track days and see how well an MG4 can really go ..... push that 125kw limit up to 200kw...

I doubt there is a cut off on the HV battery regarding SOC% more likely voltage sensing. Lead acid batteries are very slow charging, especially the last 30%, the last 10% can take up to 24 hrs to charge to 100%. Because the genuine 100% isn't reached regularly, the plates begin to sulphate and...

Fit a Zombie Inverter board and you can program in what ever you want ..... but forget about any warranty .... the factory is a tad touchy about these things ;) :LOL: My MG4 51 is speed limited to 160km/h, that's 50km/h above any legal road speed in Australia I believe (maybe NT still has the...

The concern regarding the 12v battery health stems from post #23 The dashboard was showing 14v before I parked the car and the app said 12.5v after it was parked and locked. Which is fine. The question is, will it stay fine until Monday if it isn't topped up from the traction battery? If a 12V...

The dummy is easy to identify, right hand lower photo, but who are the others? T1 Terry

Wow, I'm still alive and still married for the moment. We have looked at a lot of houses, all ludicrously over price for what they are and every one is a real estate agency staged photo shoot, we have a game at the moment of spot the repeat piece of furniture :rolleyes: even some of the floor...

The system only needs 12vdc to switch on, a battery built out of torch cells would work, just don't try to turn the steering until the car wakes up, that drags a lot out of the battery. Would there be anyone with a car close by you could get a jump start from? T1 Terry

The portable CCS unit we bought can be dialled from 6 amps to 16 amps ..... the 16 amps works if that is the only thing on a 15 amp wired circuit from power box to socket because the circuit breaker is actually 16 amps not 15 amps. That gives a charge rate at the plug of roughly 3.6kw, the...
