    Leeds Hotels with EV charging - help requested

    Great that you are sorted, and 2 more adventures to come. I never enjoy the task of looking for hotels and even holidays but usually enjoy it once I get there. Hopefully you won't need to charge in Leeds you should have enough electrons left to make it to the reception and charge at the second...

    Bluetooth won't stay off

    I forget about Bluetooth connections and simply unplug the dongle when I don't want to use AA, then plug it in when I do. Seems to work for everything normally as you would expect it to with it unplugged/plugged.

    The Holiday Inn Leeds-Brighouse. Holiday Inn Leeds - Brighouse Hotel | Best Price Guaranteed I have not stayed there myself but also in the not too distant past been to a wedding reception (our son's) in the same area. We stayed at a different hotel where others were staying, but didn't need...

    Leeds Hotels with EV charging - help requested

    Sorry for second reply, but if you don't want to drive too far on Saturday night in an unfamiliar area then driving from Mirfield to Woolley edge is probably not what you want. Even though it is in the opposite direction it's only 3 and bit miles on a main road. It also has Pogo chargers to...

    Leeds Hotels with EV charging - help requested

    Good grief you are getting further and further away from anywhere at Woolley edge ! If you really want to stay closer to the ceremony then you could try the Crowne Plaza in Leeds itself, close(ish) to the M1 and it has parking and charging but not the cheapest. Easy journey then 5 to 10 minutes...

    Great day out with your MG? Post up a picture ?

    Can't compete with those shots but we went for a stroll round Yeadon Tarn yesterday, just a short 1km ramble. Second photo including in the background the control tower for Leeds Bradford Airport, you will need to zoom in between the crane and the other tower. Yeadon is just about the highest...

    Leeds Hotels with EV charging - help requested

    That's a long way between ceremony and reception and your stay at Village Hotel South is not near either. Can you confirm those locations ? If so I would recommend staying somewhere nearer the reception than the ceremony. The Tesla Supercharger at the Tesla service centre in Leeds is OTA and...

    MOT advisory

    Nothing special, it's just a slightly heavier than average car (but not the heaviest by far EV or ICE), so Just a jack that can take the weight, and the muscles to operate it if needed.

    What makes you feel old?

    You still have an "area code" though. 07 of course indicates a mobile and the following three digits indicate the original network provider that you got the number from. This used to change when you switched networks but since 1999 have been portable, so we can keep our number.

    What makes you feel old?

    Still same definition here Subscriber Trunk Dialling, originally designed to route "trunk" calls (long-distance) automatically. In the UK, these are now commonly referred to simply as "area codes".

    SOS Button or Breakdown Insurance?

    For those without service history or whatever, Breakdown Insurance can be had very cheap using the comparison sites. Don't bother with the AA or RAC or even Green Flag. I have had perfectly satisfactory cover in the past with randomly named ones on these sites in the past ((they are usually...
