Our current house was built in1982 and it had re-wirable fuse box.

On the Trophy model, the drivers seat is electric powered and therefore it has to house the drive motor and adjustment mechanism under the seat, so I don't think that drivers seat can be lowered to the same level as the passengers seat. The passengers seat is a totally manual adjustment and the...

Given the state of that 3 pin plug, then I would strongly suggest that you consider replacing the socket outlet front that it was plugged into. Surprised it never tripped the breaker tbh ?. Assuming your consumer board ( fuse box ) has them installed of course. If not, then consider replacing...

It’s the divide and conquer strategy. Start with the small fish first. If you ask any ICE driver if they agree that EV’s should be paying more than they currently are, then of course they are going to say YES !. Not stopping to think for one second, if a pay per mile system works successfully on...

Tbh - Not even the top end 12 volt battery testers, can’t give a definitive 100% accurate answer on the ability to charge and more importantly store and retain energy when the car is not in use. Battery testers can be fooled into reporting a really good SOH in error. 12 volt batteries are very...

Let’s be really clear here folks !. Now the government have introduced a “pay per mile” system change on EV’s and PHEV’s from 2028, this is only the introduction into expanding this system on to ALL fuel types for private vehicles.

Of course they have implemented the pay by mile for EV’s and PHEV’s as it’s an easy target, but have no idea how they intend to manage it of course !. Commencing in 2028 this gives them a “stop gap” while they try and figure it all out 🤷🏻. But they have to stay in power to do this. Also, giving...

Normally the service department can identify what ( if any software updates are available ) by simply searching on the MG system, via the VIN number of your car. This became very apparent when I went along to my then local dealer and then to book my then ZS EV LR in for its second service. At...

I think the number of modules requiring updates to allow Tesla Superchargers, will vary in number, from car to car. Some cars may need 5 modules updating, while others only a single module update. But the time is consumed by having to check each module. This posted by @Susanna and was taken from...

It would be wise to try and find a dealer who has had experience of applying the Tesla Supercharger update, on previous cars successfully. Why - because this update is not purely a one button press update on a single module, as you might think. Each module has to be visited individually, scanned...

Some TPMS systems ( VAG for one ) use the ABS system via a sensor to monitor the rotational speed of each wheel and compare. So of course, this needs the wheels to be turning to evaluate the speed. In this case, the tyre pressures shown in the car, is the reading from the previous trip. When the...

I think 99% of all badges / emblems are fixed with adhesive foam tape these days. Bit of gently heat from a hairdryer maybe enough on a newish car, or if that fails, they a length of strong dental floss, used in a sawing action under the badge will do the job.

Of course you are totally correct Tim. There are two UJ joints on the lower section on the column. This lower section contains both UJ’s and connects the steering rack, to the upper steering column. This double UJ set up is required because the tail of the steering rack, that enters the...

Same - Had a similar experience myself Ian in the first week of getting the car 🤣. I opened the boot with the fob, then put the fob in the back pocket of my jeans. Reached back into the boot for the second time and retrieving some items at the back of the boot, I suddenly heard the beep beep...

I used the screen to open the boot, in order for my son to access some items. Hit the button and it opened fine. I could see his upper body, through the rear view mirror. I watched him in the mirror, move away and assumed he had gone, so I hit the close button, but did not realise he had...
