    What you having for your Tea/Dinner, tonight. ?

    Nah, after a few drinks at the pub for your birthday celebrations, someone would get the dirts when you claimed you were only 1/4 of your real age. That progresses onto bets when you say you can prove it, then you show your birth certificate and claiming the Oliver Twist loop hole regarding your...

    Frozen Mornings

    Have you tried WD40 dry silicon spray around the bits that are freezing to the point they won't move? I have to admit, besides my 2 yrs in Tassie, serious freezing problems don't often occur on the Australian mainland ..... T1 Terry

    Production ready solid state battery

    The problem is, the modern cycle testing methods. A heap of rapid charge and discharge, maybe 500 cycles or 1,000 cycles, measure the degradation and extrapolate a cycle life down to .... what ever capacity the manufacturer wants really, they are paying for the testing after all, so down to...

    Issues with Range/Power usage

    The problem in our case is, that is a 12 km hill and it must be climbed, 7.5kms in the first bit, the rest in the next bit, after that, they sort of balance out .... naturally, regen doesn't return the energy lost climbing the hill, but it helps ..... letting the car speed up above the 110km/h...

    Are we watching an empire collapse in real time?

    With out Canadian heavy crude, the US refineries need Venezuela's heavy crude to keep producing all the petroleum based products the US needs .... Even if the invested big $$ in either fixing the Venezuelan infrastructure or building new refineries to process US sweet crude, which can't produce...

    Issues with Range/Power usage

    Driving slower certainly reduces consumption, but you also have to avoid being a rolling road block. The rate you accelerate from stationary up to speed and the rate you accelerate to change speed will save battery draw down. On the long climb out of Adelaide, we use the cruise control to flip...

    Parasitic drain on 12V battery

    With the clamp part of the multimeter around one of the positive cable (not sure how many are on an MGS5) leading from the battery, can you see a DC current being drawn? Try it with each cable ..... the problem will be if the draw is intermittent, catching it when it is actually drawing current...

    MGS5 - V2L - AC or DC?

    Issues with Range/Power usage

    When we first bought our MG4, we weren't EV trained, just loved that performance the moment you stepped on the go pedal. Then we learnt about changing to eco mode, watching the power meter on the right hand lower side of the drivers screen and realised that stab on the go pedal used a lot more...

    Car locked with the key inside...

    I didn't have the fob with me, but simply sitting on the seat with the door closed allowed me to release the brake and put it in neutral, as soon as I opened the door and got off the seat, it went back into park and applied the park brake .... so I couldn't push it, but I could make it moveable...

    Winter Tales

    When I went to high school, I went from a primary school with 400 kids between 3rd class and 6th class, AB&C graded in each class and between 28 and 30 kids to a class/ High school, 1200 kids between 1st yr (grade 7 now) and 4th yr (Grade 10 now), 38 to 40 boys in each class and 10 levels, the...

    Car locked with the key inside...

    Oh good, so they can just steal anything from inside the vehicle, just not the vehicle itself :LOL: o_O I'm guessing they can move it out of park and release the park brake, so it can be towed onto a tilt tray or a trailer ....... T1 Terry

    Cars you’ve smoked ?

    The $$ amounts have gone through the roof and the points system has become savage since my early hoon days ... but that is a tad more than 20 yrs ago .... you just had to be able to out run a Mini Cooper S and later a Torana GTR XU1, the Mitsubishi Cordia was stock, so not a real challenge. The...

    Are we watching an empire collapse in real time?

    Clearly, the talking head isn't the real deal, the AI has trouble translation numbers that have dots in the mix, this one interprets then as "point" but it is a separate word and ends that sentence, then the next part is the start of a new sentence o_O The information splashed up on the...

    12V battery drained in 48 hours whilst locked

    When I was researching LFP chemistry back in 2010/2011, there was a massive amount of information on the net, I developed a rather crude spreadsheet that linked authors with claimed technical understanding .... and a pattern developed ... the cut and reword claim to research and with a further...

    Are we watching an empire collapse in real time?

    Here is a You Tube video, clearly Chinese AI generated, but the facts are hard to deny .... Is it just like interpretation of an ancient philosopher's writings, or an actual condensing of repeated trends, each one lasting shorter than the last. I'm guessing many would remember when the pound...
