My salary sacrifice lease has ended early on my MG4 and so I have some front and rear rubber floor mats that I had to take out before I returned it. Good conditions as only one year old. See photos. Buyer would need to collect from me. See also my other adverts for Brinks detachable towbar...

Towbar for sale. My salary sacrifice lease has ended early on my MG4 and so I have some good stuff that I had to take off before I returned it. A Brinks detachable towbar that fits 2023 early model. Including all the fittings. Just over a year old. Fitted and also taken off by Buchans Towbars...

I've been running Michelin cross climate 2 on our MG4 for over a year now. They have gripped well on Scottish rural snow, rain, flood. Also in North Spain this summer when it was surprisingly rainy! I’d happily buy these again. They are coming off next week as it’s a lease car through work and I...

Yes you can get salsac in second hand cars, but it’s a small pool of cars as tend to be just the returned cars from that salsac company.

My car salary sacrifice car lease is up as I am changing companies. My new company also does car salsac, but I likely won’t be getting an MG4 again. It’s been a nice car, but for me hasn’t quite delivered. It’s was not just the 2 months that the garage had it while they fixed the pretty...

I didn’t want to pay for the MG V2L so I got one from Tough Leads as previously ordered a Tough Lead extension for our emergency generator and has been robust. Wanted a cable I could trust, was still pricy at £179 See picture.

We lost power here in Scotland for 2 days due to storm Eowyn. End of day one our petrol generator packed up, so plugged in the MG4 instead. We used it to power a large fridge and large freezer, our internet, 4 lamps and charging phones and tablets and batteries for torches. It worked...

I’m in Scotland between -4°C to 4°C is pretty standard November through February. I seem to lose 20% range in winter, so with charging to 80% that’s a 64% range. I think it’s worth having a max 2/3rds winter figure in your head when thinking about current electric car ranges, and what electric...

I use adaptive cruise control with A regen as my default on the motorway. As mentioned above it makes the corrections smoother. Driven from Scotland to central Spain and I liked it. Better than my old petrol car. It’s not ‘select and forget’ though. Have to play around with what cruise control...

I was regularly plagued with frozen flap and snow and ice issues while charging so I got a magnetic cover which goes over the flap door and works great. However I still have problems getting the charger flap to close when it’s below zero as the ‘close mechanics’ freeze up. Silicon spray prep...

I've always thought this site was a useful one to help choose tyres. https://www.tyrereviews.com/ I’m in rural Scotland and used the winter tyre review to choose what winter tyres for our All4 Mini Countryman. Means we could still go out and about in the snow, and could U turn and go home when...

Just an update on this, in case anyone is interested… Had no problems since the fix. We have driven from Scotland to holiday for two weeks in North Spain (via the Santander ferry), fully loaded with 2 kids. Had no problems with the car and charging had been easy. In fact was a great experience...

Well the journey was great no evidence of any alarm going off. So I guess as suggested all fine. Thanks ?

Thanks everyone. We are on the ferry now awaiting to depart so fingers crossed it’s not force 8 like last time ?
