Bill is in the post! ;-) Seriously that’s what forums like this are all about. Sharing knowledge and experience. If I had bought one and thought it was crap I also would have shared that. Save others from the same mistakes. As it is I was quite impressed by this kit. Did you get the struts too?

Plenty of room Terry. I have room left over, even with a motor in the front for the XPower. I got the kit from TopEVGear along with the Gas Struts. Good Kit easy to install. Video Here

I too have two Charge cables (a Type 2 to Type 2 and a GPO to Type 2), a V2L Adapter, a Tyre Plug Kit and a First Aid Kit. Still room for a bit more. I should add a simple tool kit. Things that are good to have but do not want cluttering up the hatch.

I generally do not drag anyone off from the lights etc. I have used the XPower's abilities a few times when being tailgated by someone in a 50kph zone. I keep that speed right up to where it changes back to 100kph. It is quite satisfying to change to the new limit in about 2 seconds.

I could charge at home, but that would use all the solar power for the house. Being a 10+ year old system it does not have enough capacity to supply both. Currently looking at upgrading the home system and then would have the surplus power to charge the car. While there is no such thing as free...

My repeated long trip is Lismore NSW to Ipswich Qld, Have done it a few times in the XPower and many more in my old car. Most of the trip is on Dual Carriageway and speed limit is either 100kph or 110kph. In my ICE car (Stated Highway fuel consumption was 4.7L/100km) I would get; 5.2 L/100km at...

I have a Red Tiger dashcam fitted with a rear cam. I was going to hard wire it, but have it on the DC Power outlet. Think I will keep it that way so I can pull the power when charging or waiting. Unlike ICE the car stays on and keeps recording. Would consider a wiring option which only supplies...

@T1 Terry - Can you advise if there is a Replacement Battery, which will function well, in the MG4? Do not plan to swap the OEM one out while it is working, but would like to keep in mind a good replacement. I sort of assume the one I have will last a while as I do not plan to use high loads...

Mine is the "Nosy Neighbor compartment", but probably the same location. To the OP: Think you will have to be more specific about this noise, as it does not seem to be constant. My car is always in OPD mode and there are no issues.

Are you sure it's not the body in the boot not being quite dead yet?
