That would be nice in Aust, $10,500 AUD off an XPower, yes please .... they are selling for $50,000 AUD at the moment, $40,000 on the road .... they's be lined up like they did when Windows 95 hit the shelves T1 Terry

The Lexus GS 450h has the L110 transmission which is a two motor 2 sp unit, upgraded with the Zombieverter developed by Damien Maguire and the people on the open inverter forum, so both motors drive, the combination of a peak 250kw and the deep reduction makes an excellent drive unit for a...

I had a similar thing a long while back with the rear window in a Toyota Tarrago. There was a spate of them in the area, a sudden cold wind on an otherwise warm night ... or it might have been the other way around .... but sudden temperature change was blamed anyway ..... T1 Terry

I believe they intend to continue the current shape MG4 in Australia and either give it a different name, or give the new look one a name of it's own. What use would oppo phone connectivity be, outside of China? Do they think people will buy a phone that is compatible with their vehicles...

I'll give that a try after I finish this mega size bottle of RainX ....... Might be good on the motorhome windscreen, it's too far away to wipe the condensation off from inside and too cold to turn the air conditioner on to take the water out of the air ..... T1 Terry

When I was still just a mechanic, the money people told me I didn't earn enough to qualify for a home loan, even though I had the deposit. How can a tradesman who spent 5 yrs training and 20 yrs in the industry, still retrained at their own expense to stay ahead of the game, not make enough for...

Watched this video besides shifting the direction selector to the steering column, it doesn't do anything for me ..... he asked if you had a spare AUD$40,000 to drop on a new car, would you buy it, or what would you buy ..... so I put in the comments I'd drop another $10,000 on the $40,000 and...

As an ex automotive mechanic, politely called a technician, the qualification calls us Automotive engineers, we are treated like dirt, paid less than a truck driver and eventually all the deep seated urge to do the right thing ... we walk away .... feel bad for the first 12 mths, then realise we...

At least it's not on its side, that could mean a lot longer than the top half of the 8 draining down into the bottom half o_O T1 Terry

I'm not sure if I should say I'm glad it's not just me or Australia. Since we've been travelling, I've taken to charging from my Motorhome .... that works nearly every time ... the times it doesn't is generally I've tripped over the cord and the 240vac plug isn't properly in the socket, or for...

How far down do you discharge the battery, before recharging? It might be it has lost the sense of where fully discharged actually is, so it is calculating distance from a lower capacity than the battery actually has ...... see if pulling it down to 10% capacity and driving at a slightly slower...

The link says 22,000 British pound, that is the equivalent of $45,325 AUD, the MG4 only cost me $30,000 AUD, full on road ...... I don't get it, what advantage would it have over the MG4 51Ah LFP battery poverty pack model? They are offering the MG XPower for $50,000 at the moment ...... I know...

Well, at least it got you out of the house and doing a bit of running ;) I meet the most interesting people when I go running, from the ambulance driver and paramedic, to the staff in the emergency room putting the oxygen mask on me while they do an ECG ..... :D T1 Terry

Tonight, the wife sat in the MG4 with the dog, while I dropped something off to a friend in hospital. Because the car was still on to keep the heater running, it wanted to keep the headlights on, because it was dark by that stage, so I manually switched to park lights ...... We travelled on to...

Did you clean the windscreen and then polish the RainX into the glass till it was clear again? The only time I have issues with the RainX making oily smears on the windscreen, if it one of those giant bugs or moths suicide into the windscreen .... what ever in in them, it took metho and paper...
