Directly on the adapter without lead. I can do. It will take a bit of time though. Could you sketch a circuit of this for my full understanding? FYI, I am in a rural area with overhead power cable, I am not sure how the original earth was provided to the property, but subsequently I had the...

On the subject of earthing, this article explains that inverter power sources cannot necessarily have a N-E connection without the potential of causing serious damage to the inverter. https://electrical.theiet.org/wiring-matters/years/2020/82-september-2020/mythbusters-6/ This is supported by...

Yep, happened to me. I was listening to music and got the school zone warning and the volume dropped. So I upped the volume. Stopped the car, got out for 10 minutes, got back in and the audio blasted my ears.

The dealer has informed me that the paint code is actually NFZ/PBC Bubble Orange. I passed this on to my body shop. They ordered the paint fixed the scrape, and the result is superb.

It's been an annoying and interesting few days. Firstly, the radio tuner packed up. I had read somewhere that a 12V reset would probably fix it, but instead of doing this myself I thought that the dealer should do this during the upcoming first year service. During the service, the dealer stated...

They seem to do DIY kits when I need a profession mend of a cut in the bumper. There is another thread recommending Chips Away. Volcano Orange paint chip kits Thanks anyway.

I have just been to a body shop to get a quote for touching up the scrape on my bumper. They were unable to quote because their paint supplier could not identify the orange paint colour. The code 5ZBP from the information plate did not help. Maybe this code is peculiar to China. Has anyone been...

The colour isn't different though is it? On my Trophy the fancy LED pattern on the top appears to be the same red as the tail lights. I guess that it is just poor use of English to describe the difference.

I did a stupid thing and reversed into a post. Along with the bumper scrape, there is a chip out of the ridge on the light cluster. So I am now looking at Ali Express for a new rear light cluster. Strangely the listing quotes "Standard" and "Luxury" for the LED colour temperature. I would...

I drove through south London en-route to Crystal Palace on a Saturday. A substantial portion of the journey was through 20mph zones. Of course the average speed of the traffic did not even reach 20mph. I set the ACC to 20mph and followed the car ahead. It worked pretty well at coming to a halt...

I don't want to worry you, but that install does not appear to be MCS compliant. The regs state minimum 300mm from edge of roof. The reason is to do with wind lift. Last October I got a Fujitsu 5kW AC split system installed. Just over £2000 complete and VAT free. Works a treat.

The eSIM being locked to Vodafone makes sense because the Vodafone mobile signal on my drive (especially during wet weather) is poor. I confirmed this when I moved in and had to change networks to get the mobiles to work. Sometimes the app cannot find the car when it is on the drive. I have...

If the car is being charged by an AC charger (standard house to car charger), and the HV battery successfully charges, it cannot be held responsible for the charging of the 12V battery. The internal systems of the car manage that. My neighbour's MG4 failed due to 12V battery a couple of months...

Poor quality materials I suppose.

I have been playing around with this. It would be an ok workaround if it didn't permanently disable the Rear Driving Assistance. Given my wife's and my history of parking I choose to not use this method. I have to say that I don't quite understand the logic with the software. I have been towing...
