    Bigger wheels, wider tyres, boy racer 4 life 😂

    I should say that it looks so much better on 18” s aesthetically.

    Bigger wheels, wider tyres, boy racer 4 life 😂

    The tints make a massive difference to how hot it gets, without them (the driver and passenger side are done to legal limit) it can be a bit like being in a greenhouse once the sun comes out to play

    Bigger wheels, wider tyres, boy racer 4 life 😂

    Ironically @MilesperkWh I binned off the 17” version of those Nexens as they came factory fit on my Soul EV for a set of CrossClimates 🤣 I now have zero chirp from the wheels when passive aggressively pulling away from junctions (although in general the Kia is less prone to that anyway than the...

    Email I just sent to the Secretary of State for Transport

    There is a lot to unpack from VW's Battery Day (lite) Power Day, but they announced a agreement with BP to ramp up 150kw+ chargers at BP's UK petrol stations as part of the European charger cooperation to add 18,000 fast chargers across Europe by 2025. Full Power Day write up here: Power Day...

    MG5 facelift confirmed for October 2021 - photos here

    Added radar on the front 👀 suggests MG Pilot (or at least adaptive cruise) and its rated for 75kg on the roof, however I hope there has been better communication between China and MG Europe on that before they put the web page together than there was with MG UK :cool: Note: Caveat emptor at the...

    Project OBD2 - Mobile App v1.2.1 and later

    Hi @Gomev I'm over in Brighouse if that isn't too far away for you?

    Signing off

    Hi all, just wanted to say a big thanks to everyone on the forum I’ve interacted with over the past 6 months, this is a great resource and I hope it continues to be for many years to come. My ZS got sold on Saturday and my Kia Soul EV arrived yesterday morning (although it’s not road legal till...

    Project OBD2 - Mobile App v1.2.1 and later

    This is the ODB Bluetooth device I was running that was successful if you want to swap yours out for it with Amazon

    Project OBD2 - Mobile App v1.2.1 and later

    Give it a bit of time mine stuck at 20% and also it took a while for the three tabs to populate with data on mine, might be worth one more attempt before it goes back.

    Project OBD2 - Mobile App v1.2.1 and later

    For me the car was registered in September but came from Chorleys storage, so I think it was a June build car. I had comfort 2 installed (at the second attempt when I got it) and it can charge on ac when unlocked and I charge it from my Ohme cable to use Octopus Go Faster so ToU charging works...

    Project OBD2 - Mobile App v1.2.1 and later

    My car got updated in the first week of September and mine is also on the BMS that ends in R28. Pretty nifty little app which gives you some good data (especially about battery temp / SoC / SoH) which I'd previously been looking at OVMS to get that data. Cheap Vgate Bluetooth dongle I got from...

    Tinting windows or car shades.

    I actually have both for mine, as my son is quite sensitive to light from time to time due to Blepharitis. I got mine from Car Shades.co.uk and they were really good to deal with (I’d previously got some at the start of the summer for the eGolf and I asked if they would swap them when I knew I...

    Windscreen Whiper Gutter full and frozen

    Our next door neighbour burned out the wiper motor in their 2017 Seat Leon diesel last week doing exactly this (not clearing snow and ice around the wipers, they phoned the dealer and they’d had 17 similar calls that week, so it’s quite common across all cars

    ZS EV winter tyres

    The car seems to still be in reverse so the driver would have had no regen I'm guessing as well may have helped a little to use motor breaking, although when I was skidding on black ice I found dropping the MG into Kers 1 was better than 3 (and I did have All Seasons on and it was a more...

    Cold Footwell

    It was @Srp111 not sure that Steve managed to get round to it, as I recall he planned on insulating the exposed bulkhead you can see if you get on your back under the steering column, it’s takes a bit of contortion to do that (for my aging frame anyhoo)

    Are there many younger MG EV owners - is it predominantly an older mans car?

    My retired parents asked what car they should get when they wanted to downsize from a C-Max that they no longer needed for towing as they were giving up the caravan. Jazz was what I suggested and Jazz is what they got, as most of their friends have. Unfortunetly its only done something like...

    Would you have purchased electric car

    It's worth pointing out this seems to be an issue with LG Chem batteries, that Hyundai use in the Kona. As far as I'm aware KIA still use SK Innovation to provide batteries for the Soul and the e-Niro and I've not seen any reported stories of battery issues with those cars. In fact it looks like...
