    Did you buy your EV to Save The Planet?

    The poverty pack MG4 51 was our first factory EV, I also have a Blade, commercially factory built in a Getz 2010 body, but the MG4 is just so much better. The '74 VW Kombi did around 500kms on 50 ltrs LPG, so it was cheap to run and a lot of fun to drive, so it will return to the road as an EV...

    With an introduction to MG like that, I understand why you chose a different manufacturer .... even the poverty pack MG4 51 would do that in 2 stops, but more comfy 3 stops .... 680kms, 230kms per charge, would allow for 110km/h (70mph), maybe 9 hrs max ..... the 10 tonne motorhome would do that...

    Poll: Why did you go EV?

    Car completely dead - eventually, AA called out

    Never tried drinking it ... do you still sneeze or feel like a red hot poker was shoved up each nostril ...... although that could be heating the metal straw causing that, not quite as bad as using the lighter to heat the paper ones though, they are really hard on moustache ..... T1 Terry

    Beside the Toyota, you have narrowed your possibilities down to almost zero ;) :LOL: T1 Terry Trying to picture the small electric motor spinning the diesel over till it fired up, it would need to incorporate decompression and fuel control to limit injection to after TDC to ensure it didn't...

    Mine don't do that .... maybe a case of too much information :LOL: The thing is, put the council in a scale a step above the women's aux at school and maybe hovering around the level of office social club .... they at least have other people's money to play with ..... This helps to understand...

    The hook bit on the arm that releases from the fob, goes in that small slot in the lock cover, the key can be difficult if you have arthritic fingers, but there is a key head looking device that you can get that slots over the stubby key to give better grip to turn it, so that hanging on the key...
