    Installing a dashcam (with naked pics...)

    Yes unscrew the two Phillips head screws under the side panel, then pull it towards you, needs a good tug, there's a press in/ yank out clip to the left of the steering column, tricky to get fingers in the gap, but it does give you much better access and a good view of the fuse box with it...

    Installing a dashcam (with naked pics...)

    You need to give it a good tug, there are two phillips screws to the right hand side, under to remove before the cover can be yanked off, feels pretty brutal, but nothing broke!

    Installing a dashcam (with naked pics...)

    I'm just searching the manual now @Rei will let if you know which numbers I used, but if you look carefully at the pic I've ringed, It's the top empty fuse F10 which is permanent live and the other 3 pin, switched is one of the 3 x 3 pin fuses 44 or 45, but just put a meter across them to make...

    Installing a dashcam (with naked pics...)

    Completed the arduous task today, routing the cables to the rear camera, either I was lucky with my MG4, or very unlucky with the new MGS5, I'm not sure, but it was not an easy job, but perseverance paid off, all back together, front and back cameras working fine and hard wired to the fuse box...

    Installing a dashcam (with naked pics...)

    Just testing it, I'll have a closer look tomorrow (when the rain stops) between us we'll have more fuses than Halfords 😂☔ Do you mean like a shoulder at the bottom, or do you mean something else?

    Installing a dashcam (with naked pics...)

    Yes I'm definitely going to use the parking mode @Rei, now I've esstablished the correct fuse and the correct fuse box. Just had another look at the piggyback fuses I have and tried to compare with yours, can't see any difference, but the fuses have a taper which is probably going to make it...

    Installing a dashcam (with naked pics...)

    I'm pretty sure it should work, but I agree, the main screen remains lit up! my piggyback fuse taps look identical to the ones you bought on Amazon, I dont understand why they wont go in, need a closer look tomorrow, before I get 4 more when we only need ONE!!

    Installing a dashcam (with naked pics...)

    Picked up the new S5 today (16th Sep) and as soon as I had it home, I had a go at revealing the driver’s side fuse box and running the dash cam power cable to the fuse box, it was reasonably easy to hide the cable behind the roof lining at the windscreen junction, just tucking it under the roof...

    New Tyres

    I just swapped myself, front to rear on the same side, garage wanted £200, not necessary as the car is back to finance company in 4 weeks, bought a new MGS5.

    New Tyres

    Wow, that's amazing for a rear wheel EV, I've just done 12k Mike on my MG4 trophy, which goes back to the finance company in 4 weeks, I reckon probably 2k miles max left on them.

    LFP longevity not panning out in the real world?

    I agree with most of the comments here. Batteries of all types degrade over time and with use, that's been established, Memory effect is associated with old Nicad technology, long become a more or less redundant, I'm not aware of it being used at all now, but somebody may know differently as is...

    Equalisation charge - NMC battery

    I can imagine some people may want to keep the car, I would have done had it been economical, but defo NOT on their terms, I did ring Santander to see if they were amenable to a deal, it was an emphatic NO, THEIR CHOICE,! Surely it would have saved them a lot of money and hassle to let the...

    Equalisation charge - NMC battery

    MG4 = 0% interest PCP.. MGS5 bought outright, it's mine! PCP was an excellent deal as it turned out for me. But to anyone who did a similar 0% PCP as me, shoot it on and pick up another one, don't be worried for the finance company, it's a VERY, very rare occasion anything gets past them. I...

    Equalisation charge - NMC battery

    The most of us here will workout a plan to try and do the best we can, but unless every MG Buyer is made aware of the need to negate battery degradation (which I'm guessing isn't even in the sales jargon of most car salesman) by the method we have been been going around in ever decreasing...

    Equalisation charge - NMC battery

    PERFIK as I thought, too late for outgoing MG4, but just in time for new MGS5 when I get home from holiday at the weekend.

    Equalisation charge - NMC battery

    Thanks @siteguru I think that now should give NMC battery owner's a technical goal. But must the charge be done in one hit? or is it possible over 2 separate charges (I suspect not) using Octopus 11.30pm to 5.30am 7p/kWh tariff? My Ohme Home Pro, won't reach the target in one go (never seen it...

    Battery Pack and Battery Equalisation?

    I'm in the same school as you @EVentropy hahaha, you've explained it sufficiently to a not very electronic mechanical engineer (very old school) but can still remember ohms law from school, but pretty sure I'd have little idea how to apply it now in our tiniest of digital world.

    Battery Pack and Battery Equalisation?

    A very good idiom and metaphor! @EVentropy Are you gonna enlighten us on the pitfalls of "Capacitive active balancing? " AI doesn't have a definitive version 🤣😂👍 the layman's version please 🤣😂🙏
