I speculate it would drain the battery below the required voltage in less than one night.
This is classed as hit and run, the Police will assist you with a claim from the driver but it must have had insurance to tax it. Press a little harder and all should be fine.Put my car on charge on Bothwell Street in Glasgow this evening. Came back to a note on the windscreen from a witness, telling me someone had smacked my car, then buggered off
1 month I've had it. 1 bloody month. The front wing looks like a dog pissing in snow, but hey, they thoughtfully left me the reflector lens from their vehicle, and the witness left me their plate number. A quick check on askmid, and it's coming back as uninsured...
So, if anyone around Glasgow sees a black 70 plate Range Rover Velar missing their driver side reflector.... tell them I want a word with themand so do the cops.
Effing **ssers, the only polite way of putting it, i actively park as far away as possible when going to supermarkets where not mant people do to avoid this kind of thing, but understand at charge points not viable obviously, hope they get the pratPut my car on charge on Bothwell Street in Glasgow this evening.

The problem occurs when you don’t have their reg or the details of the car.. I had this myself and they don’t honour it in this case (I.e damage was done while you were away from the vehicle)You may find this useful

Read our guide about what to do if you get hit by an uninsured driver and need to make a claimwww.lv.com
Sorry you had a bad experience. It’s horrible when you come back to a bashed car. i don’t think that what you describe is technically an uninsured vehicle. Its hit whilst parked with no other vehicle details. They may or may not be insured. for an uninsured claim they need to establish a third party vehicle.
Not much to update so far.
I think since the 12V charges when you go into ready mode (or when charging), the idea with hard wired dash cams, is that they have sufficient 12V battery charge from daily use with say, weekly charging - even if you’re a low use commuter say. Parking mode for Dash cams can only really be relied upon with a hard wire install. It’s when you leave your MG parked for longer periods, like some of us who shield have had to do, that it drains the 12V. I go out for a ride and to charge @ local Sainsbury’s Pods (free) but I’ve yet to install my dashcam.I don’t believe that it does this automatically, and it is a failing In my opinion. it should be like your car and automatically top up the 12v if it senses it getting low. You may recall a few threads about owners running their 12v batteries low because they were using when not in ‘ready’ mode. If a dashcam was hard wired into a permanently live 12v power source - and also used when parked - it would over time drain the 12v on the MG. How long this would take I don’t know
would appreciate an in depth install article - know how to run the cable down but the one question have is with the hardwire kit - does it matter which way the fuse carrier goes in? I mean a fuse doesn’t care, but when you’re effectively tapping off juice you need to know which fuse terminal is supplying the juice...don’t you?
Shower of shite.Somebody hit my wife's in an Aldi car park just the other day when it is only 2 months old! No note, no witness, just a cowardly runner. Thankfully the estimates are under £500 so not worth claiming for when you take into account the excess and increased premium next year
