If you are in the passenger seat you don't need changing seats because you can power the car on by simply pushing on top of the driver seat cushion with your flat hand and a little force.

Please read the whole thread and you will find out that people want to sleep in the car in a different way with the aircon on and the lights off, just as in Tesla camping mode. This means the car has to be started and powered on all the time. By the way you could switch off the car while in...

Off topic: As I know it from the Royal Enfield Forum, a category "how to do" would be helpful, in which all practical tips from different threads are summarised.

One more? 😉 "Sony" is pronounced in German as "so nie" which means "never ever".

Selenium rectifier. In German "rectifier" means "Gleichrichter" which in case of a selenium rectifier was pronounced as "gleich riecht er", English translation "it will smell soon". If it comes to aromatic electronic engenering the British are front in line as well, because I own an old Royal...

automatic fuses 😂

I would never ever put one of these aromatic fuses into my car's wiring. They are not much reliable and tend to switch faulty. Furthermore they are one more potentially weak spot. If someone needed it in the car there is often another electrical problem that should be solved first.

Possible nail file fixes were much toi simple for German Engineers. My "Fix It Again Toni" Panda even if sometimes naggy in details drove out some other "high quality" cars, especially if it came to engine and gearbox reliability.

I know how that feels. In the 1980s, something similar happened to me with my Fiat Panda on snowy, winding roads in the Black Forest. The high beam switch suddenly broke, and it suddenly became pitch black going downhill. Luckily, the high beam position still worked. Without the necessary tools...

They are wrong size

As an electronics technician, I find the solution of pulling the fuses to be simple and safe. It's the ideal solution for a task that doesn't need to be performed very often. However, if you want to deactivate the daytime running lights frequently, for example, because you often want to use the...

Caution The headlight fuses in the Marvel R have different numbering than in the MG4. Left headlight: F15 Right headlight: F23 Each 15A, blue

The linked extention cords are rated 15 Amps only and therefore dangerous because the Fuse is rated 20 Amps. So the extention cord becomes the weak spot in the circuit and not the fuse.

Just to make sure It was and is not my intention to encourage anyone unfamiliar with the car's electrical system to modify it. I consider it potentially dangerous, and in the worst case, improper wiring can cause wire fires. Pulling the fuse is not risky, as both fuses have the same rating, so...

Yes of course I will do so. It's quite simple. After first identification of the fuses I would recommend to mark them with nail polish just to find them more quickly if needed.
