    Lord Lucas, the Prince of Darkness, they even have a part number for a bottle of the smoke that escapes from every Lucas wiring harness ...... unfortunately the adapter to suit the more common wiring harnesses is NLA ....... I remember the Norton had a rather large Zener Diode mounted in a...

    MG4 - Post crash repairs query - Pyro-fuse

    Under the centre console there is crash module, unplug that and it all comes good. There are people who can reflash these modules rather than pay out the big $$ for a genuine replacement. This bloke has used a different model front wheel drive MG EV to repower his 928 Porche, but I believe the...

    Remember that, especially when you upped the voltage to 18V, 2 x 12V batteries let the smoke out of the little motors, but a 12V and 6V battery in series gave them quite a boost, but the standard control did get rather hot, but there were performance controllers complete with brake control ...

    Aromatic fuses, a warning smell the fuse is about at it's limit ..... I think there might a market for that ...... and a range of different aromas for the different fuse capacity ..... too many to identify circuits to identify which fuse using smellatronics, but at least you nose would lead you...

    Charging Flap / Door not opening

    The more times the flap is opened, the more worn the locking mechanism would get ...... it wouldn't be getting stuck closed but rather not staying closes if the problem was accelerated wear and tear The inner black door is the actual operating part, the cover is just decorative. If some of the...

    Charging Flap / Door not opening

    In frustration, I wedged the PO box key under the rear top corners and kept flicking between the locked and unlocked on the key fob .... no help, got my fingers under the white cap and applied a bit more pressure, still flicking between lock and unlock ..... and the door skin separated from the...

    Charging Flap / Door not opening

    I seem to have jinked myself saying the 51 has been problem free ..... can't open the charger flap now and we are 1600km from the dealer we bought it from ..... so I guess it's a phone around on Monday to try and find a dealer who can at least rip the outer skin off and give us an get out of...

    Hmmm...... 20 amps x even 12V, but more likely 14V, 2400w per headlight ..... seriously, check the cable size used to wire in the headlight globes .... does that look like wire that can handle more than 20 amps ..... remember, the fuse must open circuit before the insulation on the wire becomes...

    strange failure to go into ready

    I often thought that was why I had to say rude words to the 51, but I've discovered that simply opening the drivers door and closing it again to make sure it is fully shut, seems to do the trick. The seatbelt thing was a pain when driving the 10 feet or so to our yard gate to lock it as we left...

    Nah, much like the clothes dryer that eats one sock, that area you can't see into anywhere in the under bonnet area is a link to a parallel universe ....... Your frustration is only having to find a replacement, the poor bugga on the other side has to find where this mystery fuse/nut/bolt came...

    They still don't get it! (EV sceptics)

    After living in the NSW Illawarra area, the coal trains and coal trucks would most definitely benefit from regen braking, and reduce the level of brake dust and pollutants the Jack-brake in each truck generates, along with the noise pollution .... anything that delivers to a harbour is going to...

    MG4 in Australia

    Ahhh..... but there's no proof it doesn't ;) :LOL: Not that expensive, not like health insurance which is a cross between a misnomer and an oxymoron, no amount of money or insurance can insure you remain healthy .... or insulate you against the savage pain of the gap between what is charged and...

    MG4 in Australia

    This one might work, over inflate the tyres, they will gradually drop to the std pressure and finally, the warning you need to over inflate the tyres again. Using this method, the over inflation wear is balanced out by the under inflation wear, and somewhere between them, they will wear...

    They still don't get it! (EV sceptics)

    Don't really need to read it that bad, I'll just assume it is the usual anti EV garbage sponsored by the fossil fuel industry. It does highlight which new sources to avoid though, they could at least put in a foot note that this is a paid article and not the opinion of anyone with a brain...

    MG4 in Australia

    If the tyres were filled with helium, then the valve moved to the lowest position and the tyre deflated removing much of the air, then reinflated with helium ..... would the tyre now be lighter? T1 Terry

    MG4 in Australia

    If oxygen were 21% of the air we breathe, we'd have a lot more energy and ICE vehicle would operate more efficiently ...... You need to be in a forest or sealed green house to get better than 19% oxygen and 78% nitrogen and the rest made up "other gasses" If the tyre is deflate to equal the...
