Try with the fuel cap removed see what happens then, also i've seen this symptom when the loop on the vent hose(shown with red arrow) was choked, i can't explain why but once released the problem was solved so check that too.

Range anxiety is not an issue for normal EV's which have a better range and can fast charge at 100kW or higher. I could drive to Dublin and home again in my MG5 with nothing more than a 10 or 15 minute breakfast or lunch stop. Many EV's like...

Have the battery actually checked, then inspect the belt and the pulleys as well as few change the pullies when the belt is done. Then check the Alternator output before slinging one in there. Check the ground circuit and live circuit for...

One for @kevstar -------

Agreed👍 if the pump was too advanced it needed to be retarded👌

-----and the donut in the supermarket car park :cool:

Is it a Hawkeye or nanocom?

Best bit was the "unrestricted" single carriageway hill climb. 👍

Good for you nothing in the world is better than a bit of fun and excitement when a old fart 👍👍👍👍👍👍😀😀

Chain stretch tends to affect hot starting rather than cold. Moving the FIP top is really last ditch stuff. Idle should be 750 rpm. If no-one has touched the FIP in the past then it is probably due a refurb.

On a bankholliday ? 😯

Morning All :D Took the mini out for a little blast to wake all the locals up. :) Just a lap around the town and back to here (via the petrol station for a paper). :) Cobwebs blown away, dogs frightened and sleeping people woken and a big...

I've now found a YT video showing exactly the process of upgrading mirrors..... I didn't even realise the ribbed ones don't even fold back, so modifying the newer ones looks like the way to go.

Morning all, eye is off to work. Snot raining. :) Edit suns oot :banana::banana:

Your replacement is likely a series 2/early 2a one. If the bonnet has hinges held by 4 bolts this confirms. later bonnets have 3 hinge bolts.

Does it ‘knock’ when turning, or when going over bumps?

I admire what you are doing Ali, but lordy these EVs are a bit of a pain! Proper range anxiety.

Little MG had a car pull out on it on the way to the ferry in Portsmouth. Had to have a be headlamp fitted(we supplied the landrover one which fits) Day later diff seized and was loaded onto a trailer. Driver & passenger had spare seats in the 2...

I really don't have a clue, but that those shafts have CV joints at either end that do allow movement. So I wouldn't be surprised if that is not an issue.

And dun't ferget to mark yer tools. Mine is engraved wiv me postcode and castle number.

I tested charging at four more locations today and it worked perfectly so I'm now reasonably confident that If I drive to Dublin in August (100 miles) I'll be able to make it home. :oops: The Dublin trip is for a meet up with other EV conversion...

Not the same one but its good to see

You DO have to have all your documentation. Driving licence. V5c (not a photocopy) Insurance certificate with "green card" type bit in many languages. And allegedly even your MOT. We carry all of the above.

look I see these symptoms recently when I’m driving like for an hour when I’m stoping at traffic light the fan is starting working hard like the engine is tired and he needs to cool and gears is stuck when is time to change or to come to neutral...
