We just had two days of power outages. I used a generator to keep freezer, fridge, wifi etc going, and used it to charge the car on a three pin plug at the same time. Occasionally it would run out of gas, or we would trip it by using the toaster or something. Each time we would simply restart...

Or, I could write to the minister of transport. I choose war.

The biggest safety hazard to my daily drive is fumbling with the touchscreen on a hairpin bend to turn off lka when I forget to do it before i take off. Govt needs to put these ANCAP muppets (or whichever bureaucrats are responsible) in their place. Ban LKA !

I don’t think the roads I drive on work with LKA, and I’ve never used a system that I liked - apart from ones where you can permanently disable them. The Govt needs to ban permanently on LKA !

I am hoping this will become a major issue during the next election cycle. Govt need to realise how much we hate LKA and ban it from new cars.

Ok, ok … I’ve taken them off !! no paint damage I should delete this abomination of a thread as well

I probably shouldn’t be allowed a fast car following this demonstration of poor decision making

This is the way I reckon ! I don't want to charge about everywhere doing double the speed limit. But MUCH FUN hooning up to the speed limit. And … err … occasionally giving it some jandal on a passing lane.

A month or so ago I found myself having to floor it when an older M5 decided to gun it when I went to overtake him. I put my foot down for safety reasons of course 😈. I wouldn’t say I was surprised, but he probably was, when I left him in the dust. Today I was following a Nissan GTR, and...

The dealer was so disappointed when I asked for Camden Grey. But bugger it … I like dark grey, and I hate washing cars !

Is it an Android specific issue with phone pairing etc ? I have an iphone and find it great, no issues at all

Just my understanding … Mg4 does 1 phase only. 1 phase at 32 amp is 6kW, but 16 amp would be half that. A lot of electricians dont realise (or cheap out?) and install home chargers with 16 amp fuses. You've got to insist on a 32amp fuse. Edit: and the charger needs to support 32 amps.

I’ve had a EPS fault in another Nissan car teaching my daughter how to do reverse parking. After leaving the car for 30 mins it was fine. Could it just be overheating from the 36-point turn ? The fault on my MG4 was definitely different, it was first thing in the morning. But haven’t had an...
