When the alarm went off in the 51, I pumped them all up to 280 and it took it a few hrs to figure out that the tyres were now all pumped up to the higher pressure ..... but it has settled down now ..... and the doors open over the guards on the trailer now :cool: Gotta say, this V2L has been...

Nah, one of those flat panelled jobs they replace the Bay Window with, then add an MG4 motor and battery pack from a salvage write off ..... they write off any RV in NSW when it's been in a prang it seems ...... Damien Maguire has developed an inverter board that uses the open source software so...

When is the conversion on the VW Transporter planned? ;) :cool: T1 Terry

I'd confuse the hell out of them, I have the fob for both MG's and the Prius in my pocket most of the time, I just press the button on the door handle to open or lock any of the 3 cars .... not sure how they would figure out which fob was signally which car with three signals all being produced...

:LOL: I love the come back with how electricity doesn't really smell as it refills the tank on the way down the hill, and how good it feels driving past a fuel station. When they come out with the cost and how slow it is to recharge the battery, I agree that it takes all day sometimes .... but...

Running is a great way to meet new people! Yesterday I met two ambos, a paramedic, three nurses and a cardiologist. T1 Terry

Hmmmm...... so I should put the repairable MG on the charger over night before we leave tomorrow for a few mths on the road ..... it's down to 28% now ..... What would need to be reset? The radio has stations for another state on it, so I don't mind if those are lost, it has a whole 480kms on...

Or disconnect the 12v battery ...... T1 Terry

Had to Google "antipodean" to find out what it meant :LOL: T1 Terry

Tell them it comes with the new over the air charging, no need for the long extension cord any more ..... then just walk away before you start laughing :LOL: T1 Terry

I think the DC to DC only operates when the car is in ready mode ..... I could be wrong about that .... but I'm male, so I'm well versed in being wrong ..... T1 Terry

Funny how quickly you get to relying on these fancy system to work. Drove the Prius gen 2 yesterday 'cause the MG4 is strapped down on the trailer, I haven't driven it more than the 5 km run to the house block for quite some time. Had to pick up some gear from the big hardware store, around...

Especially the ones that have exhaust valves rather than piston port exhaust blower scavenger design. The early Sulzer piston port and exhaust driven scavenger blower engines were .... crude I guess is the better term, the size of the injectors on those things was something you had to see to...

Might be a while before those monsters run on batteries, although the solar sail idea seems to work .... so maybe we will see ES on the side of one of these monsters one day ..... I've been down in the engine room on a few of the big BHP fleet ships, they are big engines ..... T1 Terry
