Rodents are attracted to the plastic insulation of the cables. They can smell the oil that is used in the manufacturing process, that make the cabling flexible. They bite at the outer shielding of the cable and sometimes go straight through the the copper wire, which is extremely thin anyway...

Maybe the locking mechanisms on the MG5 are the same as the ZS EV. A close relative of mine bought a brand new ZS EV Gen2 and from day one, the front passengers door would not open from the inside. Then a few days later, he could not open either back doors from the inside or the outside !. All...

How many miles has your car covered @Data First service I expect it will be fairly low. Given this, I would not expect anything less than 100% SOH tbh. Of course there is the temptation by the dealer to write 100% on the service sheet because it’s so new. Therefore I always asked for a screen...

I found it useful that they give you a button on the drivers door. I pressed this and asked my wife to get out !. Worked great - no more nagging. Just got to sort the one in the car now and I am sorted 👍🤣. Bliss !.

Here is a link to a set of the genuine MG mats. https://ebay.us/m/8ig4zg

I do have to question the decision to only install 1 single bank of cells, into the original pack ?. Surely there is going to be a big indifference in cell voltages when the pack is reassembled ?. I am curious to know how they are going to equally balance all of the cells. Unless the replacement...

After a bit of scratching around, it looks like they have relocated to a brand new delivery hub, fairly close by.

We paid a visit to the Trafford Centre this week. For about the last 2 - 3 years, Tesla have occupied a large section of one of the outside car parks. They have a massive stock pile of brand new cars and what looks like a good number of slightly older models, that could be X lease / PCP returns...

They may think you have something stuck to the sole of your shoes 👞 or are kicking it because it will not start !.

Witnessing this type of thing twice, does make you a bit paranoid tbh. I was recommended to ditch the OEM RCBO’s and install a better quality RCBO, so I installed a quality Garo unit. After it had been installed about 10 months, I isolated the wall box from the supply and checked for any signs...

Tbh - I rarely use the foot sensor thingy myself. I tend to just use the button on the fob to open and close the hatch. By the time you have messed about wiggling your foot around getting it to open, you just hit the fob button on your way back to the car and it’s open ready for you to load your...

100% agree with @Everest . When a high current is being drawn over a long period of time, heat is obviously generated here. Then the live contacts on fuse carrier start to become weaker and weaker over time. As soon as this starts, the deterioration is fast and very easy to over look. This is...

Remember, if you chose to reset, or NOT to reset your trips, then the figure quoted by the car is ONLY a prediction, or at best a pure guess, hence the term GOM !. This figure is arrived at by using previous historical data stored by the car, based on MANY factors like driving style, HVAC use...

Of course you are looking at the predicted range with the trips reset now Steve ?. Ambient temperature could be a factor ?.

The fiction material on the original pad's ( although not worn out ) are going to be pretty cut up by the corrosion on the disc’s. So, even if you get the discs skimmed, the pads are going to need replacing anyway. Therefore the cost of skimming vs replacing is going to be minimal. Discs and...
