So anyhoo, it arrived today, nice protected finish, simple it of kit but I’m more than happy, protects the carpet on the footrest area and have to say think it looks great. Comes with a full peel back adhesive pad on the back, but initially wanted to try it out before making it permanent so...

Happens now and then, with my previous x power now and then happened with my new S6, bit of a drive clears it so get out and give it a run. I have a calibrated pump and I know pressures are correct so it doesn’t worry me. ,

Positive thoughts bro, keep your chins up.

Yup, pretty much, although it can’t differentiate from a non myenergi battery and the grid suppling energy but I can live with that. 😇

Yup. Spot on with the banks, however if you get the certificates off them you can provide the data direct, gh Luv HMRC have it they won’t produce their calculation.

He's the gift that keeps on giving so he is.

We call him the Turdis

Dog done poo

So anyhoo, may not be relevant to many, but for those it may be, let me share a little story. Since retiring HMRC moved me from Self Assessment to Simple Assessment to make things simpler which suits me totally, however I know I owe them tax, have it sitting and waiting which I want to get paid...

Build a man a fire, and he’ll be warm for a day. Set a man on fire, and he’ll be warm for the rest of his life. I worry about ridiculous things, you know, how does a guy who drives a snowplough get to work in the morning… that can keep me awake for days. Crime in multi-storey car parks. That...

Oh I'm barely started.... A recent study has found that women who carry a little extra weight live longer than the men who mention it.

Today, a man knocked on my door and asked for a small donation toward the local swimming pool. I gave him a glass of water. Atheism is a non-prophet organization.

Well for me there are many but for me I can see when the other half is boilng the kettle to make a cup of tea. :cool:

Now that's pretty impressive, just goes to show, EV ain't new, class.

When I was young we only had an outside toilet….. .. but Dad worked hard and eventually we got a house.

Goldeneye, the new (at that point) Bond, rather like it.

Been with Admiral a while and was going to be in exactly the same situation in January, after a few test drives decided to with the the Trophy LR which they do list, would have been loathe to leave them as we have a multi car and home package which under cuts the competition by hundreds.

Had a similar issue with mine which is now resolved, there's a thread on it here.

Update on the passenger door mirror, was at the dealership yesterday and they fitted a replacement door mirror unit under warranty, transferring the original cover so no issues with colour matching. Much smoother closing action now, none of the little hesitation when closing as before.

Close to the edge, down by the river Down at the end, round by the corner…. If you know you know 😉

In total pedant mode and even though I’ve been pulled up for such things, saying nowt. 😇

Cuddles ok, but no tounges please. 🥴

Blessed be the EV….

Right, so as mentioned the rubber mats are basically the same size and shape as the original MG mats but want to keep them for the winter so need a solution for foot rest protection. Been researching Temu and Ali and seen a number of options arround a fiver but need to order more than that for...

I could be so good for you. That’s the lyric don’t get worried. 🧐

Watching Jerry & Marge Go Large on Film 4. Very good.

Noses run in my family hence the constant supply of tissues. :-8

I initially looked at the the IM6 as I needed a "taller" car than the MG 4 X Power, had a couple of test drives, it is very impressive (although the rear vision is very limited using the mirror) I must say, but I also tried the S6 and it ticked all the boxes for me with what might seem a small...

Ah well I knew you'd see it and don't like the stock wheels so I took it accordingly. :-)

Quick drive and the rains gone, can't wash it for 2 weeks till the coating cures but when I do the car dryer comes out. :cool:

So last night we had the first tears of the angels since the car had his ceramic coat and the results are beading lovely. 😇

Blessed be the Orange. 😇

Bit of an update, got a reply, the picture on their website was for illustration only and not an S6, I told them plainly for men in particular who never read a manual that needs to be in big bold type not teeny tiny type. I’ll be keeping them for the wet months as they are really good quality...

Just down at my dealership passing time while the cars in for some work and had a chance to have a close look at the new 4, very impressed with the interior and fittings plus that green is just lovely.

Heard good reports of that, must check it out.

Just arrived at my dealership, car was booked in to change the passenger wing mirror, look at the tailgate (which ironically is working yet again) and have the latest software update installed, only it won’t be. They updated their own demo last week and it’s causing issues, no cruise control...

Ditto 🤣

So anyhoo, head songs are very frequent in my head but this very moment I have this on full volume. TOOOOON.

Bassad, that’s stuck in my head now.

Thanks to AI he gets a text when it happens ***,

Oh hell yeah bitch, been there years ago and have the scars and points to prove it 🧐

Ok. Accepted, unfortunately I need one.

Having read through previous and summarising the collective wisdom, it’s not the charger it’s the socket is the issue, given you have a PHEV the full blown properly installed charger may not be required ( still I got one myself), the granny charger would be fit for purpose, but if you want to be...

Tonight we are currently watching Masterchef 😇

Hmmm, Tried that in court have we? 🧐

Sod the app, go to the car and use the infotainment screen to schedule charging. 🧐

Yup, as above, as one who preferred Waze for its important yeh vital information (police) I’m a convert with the HUD integration.

Oh dear Cod 🥴

Still need a TV licence though 😜

Dare I ask is there any paperwork to say they are CE/UK CA compliant?

Just checked both of mine and both have blades, it's been a useful post this has, although I'm starting to wonder if the full silicon key cover is such a good idea.......

Strangely enough the other half seemed to enjoy the presence to the sub I had under the passenger seat in my Vito.........

Being in NI we don't have any smart charging even though I'm future proofed if we do and I want to use them, I just plug in with the car set to the required %, if the weathers good as it is at the moment the Zappi harvests and feeds it to the car, if it needs more it will get it over night on th...

It's Sean Connery with his distinctive SSS sounds Innit?

Just over a grand for a 65" OLED 4k AI one these days. :cool:

Excellent, thanks for the input.👍🏻

I can get round the NI bit so I already found a source for the sub. I really like that amp but any suggestions for alternates available over here would be most welcome.

I was in my car driving back from the pub. A police officer pulled me over and knocked on my window. I said, "One minute I’m on the phone". Two fish in a tank. One says: ‘How do you drive this thing? Life is like a box of chocolates. It doesn’t last long if you’re fat. My star sign is Pyrex...

So right now for Cod knows how many time we are watching James Cameron’s iconic (and very profitable ) Titanic. We have passed the “draw me like one of your French girls” and the steamy back seat in the Rolls bit and not long finished the nearer my god to thee ships orchestra bit which even now...

Yo u do know I’m frantically searching for the components to upgrade the sub woofer, don’t you?

Playing catch up @MG Clive, I see what you did there 🤣

Sleepy Beagle, happy Beagle, snore snore snore….

Togli i tergicristalli dalla posizione di servizio prima di mettere l'auto in modalità di guida. Remove the wipers from the service position before putting the car into drive mode.

This evening we enjoyed home made pepperoni pizza with garlic bread and a very nice cheese coleslaw, my youngest said it was lush. Hi praise believe me.

Playing catch up. Can’t beat the Haggis.

Also relevant to the S6, intermittent works at some points but not others, have the issue, going down to my dealer on Tuesday who want to change the motor unit.

Interesting and relevant.

And that’s some achievement 🤣 It’s quality not quantity 😇

It's not just the group thing a lot of insurers don't have the dual motor on their listings.

Nice app and useful, can you add the S6 Trophy LR when you have time?

Out of interest why always charge with the car locked?

Perfect, thanks.

Ok, the glasses holder has arrived and looks very "original" when I held it up in the recess on the drivers side where the passenger grab rail would fit and I can feel the fitting points under the headliner but before I get stuck in can anyone who drives on the other side of the road confirm...

Might be the red trim accentuates the edges they are the same size and shape as the official MG mats I'm guessing the manufactures just bought a set to use as a pattern but that's my issue as mentioned in another post, they were meant to have footrest protection.

If there’s a hell, save me a seat…..

What do you call an unpredictable camera? A loose Canon. Why was Cinderella so bad at rugby? She kept running away from the ball. Why did Shakespeare always write with a pen? Because pencils made him ask ‘2B or not 2B’? How did the picture end up in prison? It was framed.

Right. I’m back from a week in climes foreign and today I have mainly been adding a shedload of Temu /Ali Express/ Mg Titan / other crap to Auric, what follows is where I’m up to. To begin and as previously mentioned the Car Mats UK drivers at does not have the footrest protector as advertised...

Ta.

He uses various coatings, but the car itself like my previous volcanic orange X Power was coated with Ballistic High Performance Ceramic which has a hard wearing finish and brings out IMPO the colour of lighter colours especially metallic. It's not cheap to get done especially with the size of...

We only got back yesterday to find many many parcels of car crap waiting us including the mats, I just set the drivers side in roughly over the original MG mat to confirm my suspicion that it did not have the footrest section despite it being shown on their website, I shall be emailing them shortly.

Got the Car Mats UK heavy duty floor,AT’s today, really good quality and finish but sadly despite what I believed to be the case, they don’t have the footrest cover. 😫

Yeah I know, but saw the spec and price, will see what I can find.

We like it.😇

Love Zimmer, just have to find a supplier for that amp in UK.

Got back from a trip today, been away for a week and the S6 was away also with my Detailer for a full ceramic coating including all the glass, wheels and all the interiors fabrics and pleather with an appropriate coating. Now coatings can be a waste of money for many, but not for me, cars...

Seriously useful stuff, will be looking into it.

Possibly literally 😜

Got this trunk liner when I got back today, needs to settle in as it came bundled up as I'd expected but it fits and I must say looks rather good and the padding and finish are brilliant. I blame @MG Clive.

Just back from foreign climes and these had arrived, they don't fit the S6.

Can you post a link for that?

All inclusive package, you work it out. 🤪

I have full control of my bomb bay doors at all times Sor 🧐 Mind you my water cannons on a hair trigger. 😱

I have discovered the B52.

We were heading up river and apparently passin the largest chemical plant in the world, think it was about 10kms long and one of the sections was burning something off, went from white smoke to flame and black smoke I thought they were electing a pope. 🤪

When you go on a wine tasting, buy a magnum but what you really want is their pooches kennel 😍😍😍😍

The Mem has just informed that while she’s impressed with my schoolboy German, when using it I’m channeling Lt Gruber from Allo allo. Fecks sake. 😱

Holy Cother of Mod, I have discovered the joys of a German white burgundy and a fantastic view which I can order in my schoolboy German. Anything can happen in the next half hour, please Cod don’t let me go all Caberet and start singing “Tomorrow belongs to Me” 😱 Crap I’ve gone all Troy Tempest.

You are correct, it’s an omission as is the usb take off behind the rear mirror but stiil A great car. I’ve posted a couple of articles on fitting a dashcam on this forum which may be useful.

When we were in Koblenz yesterday are guide was talking us through previous floods and how far up they had come, scary Mother Mature is.

For those familiar with The Bridge on the River Kwai movie.

It seems there is serious concern about the falling water levels on the Rhein, when you see were the “normal” watermarks are, factor in just how big the bloody thing is, I reckon the plugs not in right. 😉

Eccles 😍

I also speak fluent idiot! 🧐

Tried it a few times but my brain hurt. 😉

You go girlfriend 🤪

Do we need a tipple thread?

Breakfast!!!! 🤪

I’m into war history and was aware of the tale before the movie which being American had a bit of writers licence in the script. The underlying story was correct though and seeing the Rhein in the “flesh” capturing the bridge even if it only lasted for 28 days saved 1000’s. Had a quiet moment...

Remains of the bridge at Remegan.

Time passes the moon changes but OMG, just lovely.

Flower Moon over the Rhein in Cologne, no matter how good the camera or phone it just can’t do it justice. Staggering. 😍

Holy Mother of Cod and my Holy Socks and Trousers, we made it and I cannot bloody move. 😱

Let me sing you the song of my people 🧐

I was gonna do it but I saw you’d done it I didn’t. 🤓

What you end up with?

Mudflaps?

Dublin International Airport on Bank Holiday weekend, packed with Stags and Hens. Never seen as much spray tan in one place in my life.

Not a clue, flight is delayed so will arrive late, hopefully not to late for dinner. In other news, just had a chicken chipotle burrito to keep me going. 🧐

Leave the Polish out of it!! 😂

Farmers won't have their sheepdogs to assist them on the 4th May. It's a ban collie day.

Oooh. Someone’s had her Weetabix 😂

Sorry, found them, again.
