I emailed Michelin about ER tyres. Impressed to get a response within 30 minutes. The relevant bit reads: “We checked our commercial catalogue. We do not have Crossclimate 3 in size 235/45 R18 98W. Whether or not we will produce the desired size and index is unfortunately not known at this...

My experience is that, after a while, you come to understand how the GOM works, based on recent driving and other factors, and prefer to trust the computer in your brain. A recent example. I charged from 18% to 100% for a long run, with the GOM showing 348 miles (I wish!). After my long journey...

There’s a parallel thread, about cross climates, running at the moment - with some shared input. Rightly or wrongly, in my 60 years of driving, I’ve never used anything other than summer tyres. We seem to have little ‘winter’ in East Anglia these days. There is a post above about Michelin...

This is fascinating. I guess you always assume what you have is ‘normal’. With my ER, however I have left the screen on exit, I always get HVAC on startup any have to change manually to anything else.

With apologies if I have missed it, can anyone please give me a part number for a rear wiper. I get A721S for the front wipers, but the rear one… ?

Happened to me yesterday. I had been in Settings, checking and changing volume choices, but I don’t recall doing anything else. Weird indeed.

Good thinking. My signature updated as well.

Am I the only one who regrets the fact that posts now only refer to the poster having an “MG4”? I found the version info really helpful in connection with whatever was being discussed. O venerable Admin and Mods, for this forum anyway, might it not be possible to revert to what we had?

Guess we are getting pretty common. My weirdest ‘happening’ was a few weeks ago when driving my orange ER on a minor road in Norfolk - the B1145 near Gt. Massingham. I passed another orange trophy coming the other way and then, about a minute later, a second one came the other way. Norfolk must...

One unexpected bonus I get, in built up areas, is the number of waves and smiles I receive from passing toddlers. They clearly love the colour and, in turn, that brightens my day - and I can almost sense the car smiling back!

Apologies for the detail below, but I don’t know how to explain my issue without it. Wanting to do a full charge to 100% overnight, I set off today on a 45 mile journey. The battery was shown at 23%, with a 53 mile range remaining. On the face of it, the figures seemed weird to me as I expected...

Scared me today. First thought: what on earth have I hit? Reversing to turn in a virtually empty parking area. At least 15 feet from the nearest object, a wall. Inexplicable - but still scary.

Ah… didn’t appreciate this (silly me). Thank you.

I would certainly miss the convenience things mentioned above - and also a quick check on tyre pressures before I head out (one thing less to do when in the car).

I guess that’s the hassle - in, out, shake it all about. Where to store it? And then my dear wife will put it somewhere ‘tidy’ 😂
