    First long journey for us

    The Tesla chargers at lakeside shopping centre would probably be a good choice and cheap. They're just before the Dartford bridge on the M25 and open to all . You can take the opp to pop in to lakeside for a comfort break.

    Replacement tyres

    Actually the maths sometimes works out. If I was able to get of my finance with no penalties before the MOT is due , before a third service and before needing to replace the tyres, then getting into a new lease vehicle with one month's rental up front would make sense. Unfortunately the...

    Replacement tyres

    Just changed mine at 46000 miles . Decide to stick with the Continentals that were fitted on the car from the factory as I've been impressed with the wear and grip. Have to say that I've noticed that the car is quieter than before . I had a loan Trophy the other week and that was very noisy...

    Considering swapping MG4 for an MGS5 - Test Drive Thoughts.

    I have bundles of neg eq and a liability to Santander of around £2500 before I hit the 50% rule on my pcp at which point I'll hand the car back and terminate the finance I think . Unfortunately , unlike the olden days that liability can't be absorbed into the deal.

    Replacement tyres

    Mine are now at 45500 and will be changed in the next week or so , unless I can get my mrs to allow me to change the car itself!

    Considering swapping MG4 for an MGS5 - Test Drive Thoughts.

    I get that and my dealer has always been really good . They loaned me a trophy for 10 days while this work was being done and I've always been happy with the service I've received . It's more MG itself really and that fact that my car has now been back to them around ten times .

    Considering swapping MG4 for an MGS5 - Test Drive Thoughts.

    Actually, I'm now thinking of doing a lot more shopping about . I've just got my car back from the dealership and although they've sorted my problem out (see separate thread about an unusual fault) The steering wheel is now at an angle when I'm driving straight and the car was absolutely filthy...

    I'm almost tempted to pause my desire for a MGS5 and wait until some demonstrator IM 6's start to appear

    Charge complete at 99%

    I have a hive charge and it's been totally reliable . However last night it only charged to 99%. The car is showing 99% with 235miles of range .I have only got an sr so I know that that's highly unlikely to be acheivable. I've had this happen before where my overnight tariff has ended and the...

    Discount of up to £3,750 on electric cars set to slash costs for thousands of UK drivers

    Well both , LOL I take your point but how much would it be worth in 5 yrs time and if you're planning on buying with cash how much would you need to save a month to buy something else ,around 250 a month? Unless you've got oodles of cash lying in around plus. If you're financing the rate will...

    Government grant

    I just don't understand how they can launch something with a big fanfare without sorting out which cars are eligible first . How come they've managed to do it for vans ( including the VW ID Buzz Commerce but not the passenger version presumably cos it's a "car")trucks, taxis, motorbikes ( 56...

    Government grant

    I've just seen that There are currently no cars on the list Low-emission vehicles eligible for a plug-in grant but Maxus vans are . Seeing as Maxus is owned by SAIC surely MG's would also qualify?
