    Wet motor in the MG EVs?

    Afternoon all, In looking at reduction drive oil specifications I found myself wondering if the MG EVs use wet motor lubrication systems...if so then this would mean there are points to be aware of when choosing a reduction drive oil. Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be much, if any, decent...

    Do you keep a 'charge log'? ⚡️

    I have kept a log of charging for the whole of ,y ownership of my MG5 because I was interested in just what mileage I would get per kWh. I have yet to examine the data contained in the log.

    Installing radio communications kit in an EV...

    Sort of, yes and no. It's really more that the HT and magmount isn't really doing that well in general so it would be nice to get it properly installed for the next longish trip I have at the beginning of June.

    Installing radio communications kit in an EV...

    Right, I’m going to get mine installed in the next week or two. My antenna mount will be fitted in the middle of the rear of the roof (can be replaced with a shark fin for later sale if necessary) and the radio main unit will likely be installed under the boot floor panel. A (fused!) power cable...

    Installing radio communications kit in an EV...

    Lovely piece of work there, many thanks for giving us the run-down on it! I'm hoping to get my installation done before the end of May so I shall try to take some photos as I go along. Mine will likely be slightly different as I intend to fit a through-body mount in the rear of the roof (!)...

    Installing radio communications kit in an EV...

    Morning, I'm afraid I haven't got around to it yet as work has been rather busy. It is on my to-do list for later in the spring and I shall document it for posting here when I do. Regards

    MG Loughborough - car crashes through front door!

    I would suggest that the forward motion of the vehicle should be somewhat of a giveaway that the "go" pedal is being operated. Far more of an issue is that people seem to mash the pedals with little or no finesse, leading to problems when they inevitably lose control.

    Installing radio communications kit in an EV...

    I haven't done so yet althought I have the bits necessary to do it. I shall be using a Panorama M8 mount since it is very discreet and I already have antennas for it (including the now-discontinued V/UHF dual band one at around 300mm length.) To be honest, drilling and fitting the antenna...

    I’ve had a look but I believe the poster was asking a broadly similar question. Perhaps I shall just get on and get it done but document my findings for the forum!

    Amateur Radio VHF/UHF with MG ZS EV

    Have you installed and used your radio yet? I'm getting set to install my V/UHF set in the car and wondered if you had found any issues to watch out for! Also, What's your callsign (DM me if you prefer...) Regards Piggly

    Installing radio communications kit in an EV...

    Morning All, Being one of those ham radio types I am preparing to get the drill out and install my VHF/UHF radio in my MG5 and I wondered if anyone else around here had installed similar kit (including PMR or CB) in their EV. If so, what issues did you encounter, if any? TIA Piggly
