They probably aren't fake screws, but some kind of retaining clip. I've had similar looking ones with the plastic screw head and the outer ring, where as you tighten the screw head, it screws into the outer ring part, causing it to flare out underneath and secure the panel. See here for some...

We didn't even purchase it from the garage that contacted my other half. It was in there for some body work a few months ago, and is our closest dealer. They obviously are just after the payment for the work.

Just collected the other half's 72 plate trophy from the local MG garage, as its been in for a software update. They called her and told her it was a recall and it needed a software update, but didn't give any other details. I asked her to check with them what it was for and the guy said he...

Also purchased from Ashton on December 22, but apparently he's left now. Purchase was no bother, apart from some snow which delayed delivery. Had a rattle in the dash of the ZS, which took a couple of visits to get sorted, but they did in the end. The second visit the technician seemed much...

👍 Thanks for the replies, I did think I'd read that somewhere about the charge level, but always good to get confirmation. She was chuffed this morning when she could go out to a de-iced and warm car before heading out.

Just collected a new MG ZR EV Trophy SR, in black. Really pleased with it so far! What I like so far... Quite understated styling... it works for the car! Comfortable ride (my Born's has quite 'sporty' suspension, so you feel ALL of the road), just what you want on a daily driver. Spacious...

Going to collect our new ZS SR today, I've got a couple of OBD11 readers, not sure if they'll work with the ZS, but I'll give them a try. What's the best app to read the SOH please?

The Lloyd's rate is 3.1% lower (4.8% v 7.9%). You can't compare a flat rate to an APR, completely different thing. I recently bought a Cupra Born and went with Lloyd's, same as you, monthlies and balloon payment both cheaper than the dealer.

After 4 or 5 years of asking, we finally got 4x7kW chargers... after the new boss bought an EV. Rolec posts, open to visitors for 45p/kWh, but staff get charged 15p/kWh. It was supposed to have gone up to 25p/kWh at the start of July, but hasn't... so everyone (including the boss) is keeping...

When I've spoken to a couple of dealers I have been told that the 0% deal isn't available when getting the affinity discount. The affinity discount works out cheaper total payback than the 0% for me.

No point bothering with the comments, a lot of it a complete load of tosh. It is amazing how little some people know, yet want to spout off as experts! And probably a little more concerning, those that buy things without finding out a bit about them before jumping in with both feet!

The garage that is advertising this deal is Luscombe in Leeds (I think), and they're doing the Exclusive for about £300 less than the affinity deal, so about £21500 for all colours (or so they're advertising on their website).

Well I fired an email off to that address just after you posted it and I haven't heard anything back. Shame, as you'd have thought they'd be chasing every sale they could get. Still waiting to sort the mortgage out for an extension before pulling the trigger on a car, so I'll try ringing...

The Leaf Tekna I've got has heated seats and it's a definite bonus on an EV. I've already got a Podpoint, which I've never really got hooked up to the app, so don't know if it has any timers built in, but it was just so easy to set your times in the car and then you just have to plug in and...

So I've been considering the MG5 since just before it's launch, and still am. The roof rails were an issue, but 35kg is better than nothing, so can use it for the kids bikes. Range is just down on what would be ideal for our main car, but more than enough for all but 5-6 trips a year, and a...
