That is spot on !.

Yeah - It’s a complete farce tbh. My wife has a Fiat 500 that she absolutely loves 🤷🏻. It’s a 2015 petrol ⛽️ model and the VED is £20 / year. It’s low ( ish ) emissions, but very high compared to our S5 of course 🤣. £20 vs £195.00 takes some justification. It’s not about anything else, but a...

You’re right Les, I think it’s £10 for the first year on EV’s cars costing less than 43 grand ish. If I remember correctly.

Your right !. I got caught out early. Our car was a pre reg, in August 2025. The dealer had registered the car and paid the £10 for the first year. I asked them to apply my private plate ( on retention ) and put onto the car when I collected it. This was done successfully, but because the car...

Ouch 😣.

Mine is the same Ian, my inflation pump has a digital read out that can be set to cut out pumping when the desired pressure has been reached. When checking the tyre pressures with a second verified digital gauge, it reads slightly lower than the preset on the inflation pump. I therefore normally...

I find the same Tim, I set my tyre pressures to the recommended settings. Then check and verify the pressures with a second independent tyre pressure gauge. The figures in the car do not reflect these settings, they do fluctuate a lot TBF. I found the pressures inside the car, did a better job...

They were already installed in the car when we went to collect it. On checking the invoice, I had been billed extra for them and they were expensive !. I asked for them to be removed and therefore deduced from the invoice.

Not sure tbh. I have used a local family tyre 🛞 company for over 40 years, I had a good relationship with them. I wanted to replace my front two tyres on a VW Golf we had a few years ago. It had a brand new tyre on the spare wheel in the boot. But I did not want to fit that make to our car. I...

There was a service bulletin to replace / reroute the wiring loom in the drivers door on the Gen1 model ZS EV under warranty. It was flagged up by the dealer when it went in for a service by checking the VIN number on the MG system.

Here you go 👍. The Trophy model normally comes fitted with Bridgestone tyres 🛞. Definitely not my favourite tbh. They produce road noise at about 55 ish MPH.

Given this, I found it a strange decision to omit the rear screen wash / wiper on certain MG4 models. Clearly design over function 🤷🏻.

All hatchbacks suffer badly from attacking dirt to the rear, less so on booted cars. As the car travels along, it creates a vortex behind the car, which pulls the dirt up from the road and deposits it on the hatch.

I decided to conduct a 100% charge and balance last night. The remaining range on the GOM before charging, was only 20 miles and SOC of 11%. I remember to enable the tab to allow the car to charge, to the percentage required. Then it would keep charging after our off peak rate finished. The...

Use the cabin heater for about 30 minutes Ian, that will gobble up some of that range and reduce the SOC down from 100%.
