Full self-driving version I take it? ;-)

I have been using Hankook Ventus Prime 4 and they have been excellent, miles better than the OE!

They are bl00xed and I have no intention of paying £92 each for a pair of bare rear shocks from the MG dealer when they really aren't especially good. Mine started clonking at less than two years age but <dealer> refused warranty claim as they weren't (apparently) leaking.

I don't particularly want to lower my 5 but what I would like is to find some decent aftermarket shock absorbers, especially for the rear.

I have done the trip from SE London to Aberystwyth loads of times. The chargers available in Aberystwyth are pretty good for a small town; there are a couple of locations with 50kW+ DC chargers (Morrisons, Tesco and the University, behind the security building and canteen, the National Library...

I got my 5 down to zero and flashing last week! Not a happy experience.

Is it clean water? If it's not coolant then around that location it is almost certainly either urine from the trapped wildlife (probably a badger) or airconditioning condensate.

It's not the capacity I'm concerned about, it's whether the DC-DC converter will adjust itself for the admittedly small volt-drop the switching unit introduces, should I choose to use a diode unit.

Morning all! So, for a number of reasons I would like to add a second 12V battery to my MG5 and wondered if anyone has done this already. My main question is whether the installation of a diode/MOSFET charge splitting unit (with associated voltage drop) would drive the 12V DC-DC converter to...

Don't even ask why earwigs are called earwigs... ;-)

Don’t worry about them crawling over you as they do it all the time and you’d never know. Probably a hundred or so every night… What’s more of a problem is the smaller ones that go up your nose or in your ears. Just saying…

So, cheese and ham or cheese and pickle? 🤪

Indeed.

What we need is for someone to find a nice empty bit of hill and trigger the vehicle into doing this but without stopping it while it is happening.

Well, I’m sort of at ease. I absolutely cannot see how they could get the oil drained and replaced without disturbing anything around the fill and drain plugs and without getting any oil at all on the parts under the drain. Perhaps I shall book at Apple MG to have them look at the oil again...
