    Circular reasoning (Rolfe's solar energy system)

    He's in Australia. Australian export tariffs are derisory. Mind you, before I had an export tariff at all I still had to let a lot go to the grid. The MG4 was sitting there burping and the sun was still shining. One evening I went out joyriding just to use up enough so that I didn't have to let...

    MG4 internet, data limits

    No? What about the issue with the screen that can only be fixed by changing the DAB radio station?

    Circular reasoning (Rolfe's solar energy system)

    It's something to investigate. I'm not sure whether my battery will do that or not. Today there has been a bit of clipping from around 11.30, but it's been a case of sunny intervals, quite short ones, and I doubt I'd have got much even if I had set the battery at a lower charge level.

    Software meddling

    I think I'm with Everest on this one.

    Everything Electric

    He seems to be ignoring me. There was a guy yesterday kept copying him into a Twitter thread I was in, and mocking me, but he didn't bite.

    New MG4 Trophy LR Vehicle Control System Fault

    Blimey!

    MG4 Trophy have "eaten" my credit card!

    I once lost a house key down inside my Golf. It was still there when the car went for scrap.

    Has Caliban had children?

    Ooooh, I don't think he's telling... There was at least one liaison I know about though.

    Circular reasoning (Rolfe's solar energy system)

    Today has been extremely dull and wet, with the solar barely reaching 1 kW for a moment only. 2.1 kWh exported, be still my heart. Just left everything alone and it's fine. Might do that for the next two or three days because although there might be a little clipping I doubt if it would be much...

    No, it didn't!

    Too late, bubba. I saw your report.

    How to Break a Car in 2 Years? MG4

    That one is a Trophy though, and is seen to have the usual alloys, after the aero covers disappear and before he totals the alloys themselves. Oh, you mean these steel wheels might be obtainable?

    Road tripping in the MG4

    What I have is a cool box, from Lidl originally (about 20 years ago) which has a small refrigeration unit in the lid which runs off the 12v to keep the inside cool. After some experimentation I left the thing on all night (I was sleeping in the car, so it was on) because it didn't take that much...

    How to Break a Car in 2 Years? MG4

    He had the aero covers on at one point, presumably the beginning, then these vanished and he was just on the alloys. Then you see him completely destroy the alloys. I suppose steel wheels make sense at that point!

    Road tripping in the MG4

    I have a coolbox which runs off the cigarette lighter socket and only draws 48 watts. It's very good at keeping things cool when it's switched on, but of course if you switch the car off, it goes off too. However, if you have a full house in the car it might be tricky to know where to put it.

    Holborn Blue one can do it though.

    It's insane even at the normal speed.

    How to Break a Car in 2 Years? MG4

    Also, he was banging the undercarriage down on humps and the battery didn't seem bothered at all. I wonder if he got the undertray fix? (Before he smashed the undertray completely.) I don't know who he is. That channel only has a couple of other unrelated videos on it and I don't think it's his...

    How to Break a Car in 2 Years? MG4

    I've watched it about four times, it's amazing. It is now also my go-to put-down the next time some idiot says all the car is good for is a bit of local shopping.

    Circular reasoning (Rolfe's solar energy system)

    I certainly made the right decision. It was brighter than I expected and I exported a fair bit in the morning, but the panels never quite generated enough to start clipping. By early afternoon there wasn't a lot happening. Over the day I exported 9.1 kWh which isn't bad for a day forecast to be...
