Have you checked the emergency fuel shut off beside the ECU and fuse box? I might be wrong here but doesn't the fuel pump run for only a few seconds after turning Ign on? Were you able to meter it immediately after turning the key? If I recall correctly the ECU sends a ground to the relay, not...

I can't help diagnose it but would suggest maybe having a search through Rover/MG forums as the engine is more common there.

I put a few miles on the car over the weekend. I always wanted this to be a practical workhorse that I don't need to be too precious about Every time I use it to tow a trailer it's another time I don't burn out a little bit more of SMBO's Kuga clutch.

I had a damper cause an annoying rattle that I had chased for months. I bought a used one from a scrappers that fixed the problem. Easiest way to fix it is turn the radio up and rip the knob off.

I once had a winch cable snap while lowering a wind turbine (old project). Thankfully I had warned eveyone to stay well clear before starting the job so no one hurt. In fact the only injury was my B&D Workmate table thing which the turbine landed on crushing it like a tin can and absorbing the...

I was in the same boat with my old MGF and I was driving even fewer miles, it's the main reason I got rid. I see it differently with my EV as it was a three year project that will probably go on even longer, having said that between tax and insurance it is a very expensive toy. 😟 It's a pity...

@Nodge68 Here yer go mate. A nice wee project for you. 😋

I don't suppose you have a spare pedal set for an Auto do you? Having a bigger brake pedal would be nice.

Brilliant news mate, how exciting and yes a bit nerve wracking too but from what I've heard you're getting one of the best EV's on the market. It probably depends on how many miles you will be driving whether it's worth changing your tariff. I probably don't do enough miles to warrant the extra...

SWEET! Is it an Ionic 5? You need a 7kW EVSE wall charger for it. I got one cheap off Ebay but you might need to go for something more professional.

I don't think condensation will be an issue when it is not sealed and the box is all plastic. The electronics get warm so even in winter would dry out if they had got damp, but from what I've seen even after driving in cold damp weather it has always been bone dry.

New video.

I spent hours looking for an enclosure the exact length and width I needed for the main LV JB but there was nothing that suited. The new extension is even more oddly shaped due to the slope of the bonnet so it suits better to have made them myself. Even though the box is in two parts I had to...

If they are plugged in once and left alone then they will probably be OK (so long as no moisture gets near it) but in my case they will probably be disconnected multiple times which is probably what killed my Leaf Inverter connector.

Yes mate, I even bought them and stored them in a handy place so I would know where they were. When I went to do the tidy up I went there, lifted them out and inspected them carefully, then put them back and said Sod That and moved on. 😋 Two reasons, one the amount of work involved in...

So I finally got around to sorting the LV Junction box extension. This solution is not optimal Making the box from ABS plastic and using plumbers plastic cement which works a treat although is a bit messy. And in situ. It is a bit rough and the lid which is curing is even worse but...

GG you old dog! 😋

LOL, my first car was a company Mini van. I've no idea what the fuel economy was but suspect pretty poor as I used the accelerator pedal like a switch. 😝

You may already know but when you fit the propshaft the new tyres should go to the back of the car to save the transmission.

My daughter has been riding ponies and horses for almost 20 years now so we have a fair bit of experience towing horse boxes and although we never calculated it scientifically the fuel consumption suffered a LOT. We now have a converted van and it is much easier on fuel than towing a trailer...
