Just for information. In Caithness and Sutherland they are charging 70 p per Kw on rapids.

Yes, I'm not the best one to advise on software, but I think you are going the right way.

My apologies for the delay in informing you, but I have sorted the problem. Re-installed Android Auto on my phone, then just link it t the car again. Again my apologies, but we have had visitors for a few days, so I have not been on my computer.

The phone will bring up AA but no maps or directions. I did wonder about disconnecting 12v battery and reset.

Hi Android Auto and my phone have suddenly lost connectivity with my 2 year old MGZSEV. My phone is still showing the car on Bluetooth, but no phone book, and Android Auto fails to connect. Any suggestions?

I love the MG but it doesn't float very well. ;-)

Perhaps you misunderstood my post. The service cost was £77.88 (inc vat) the rest was for ferry and overnight stay. No main dealer in Orkney. Like I said main dealers are OK if you have one.

In the islands main dealers are like mobile signals "Great if you have one". Main dealer service would cost service charge plus £300 pounds.

Yes you can, but then you get people knocking on the window saying "Do you know your lights are on.;-)

With Covid restrictions I tend to sit in the car while my wife does the supermarket shop. Is there a way to extend the time the radio can play before it switches off?

Cruise control is very good on motorways, and fairly level terrain. but as I have found in hilly areas it is as I stated braking going down hill, if it exceeds the set speed and accelerating hard to get up to set speed when going up hill. Try it.

Any car is less efficient in Cruise control. The car will brake unnecessarily when going down hill accelerate hard to get up to "Set" speed when going on level or uphill.

A light pressure on the brake pedal as you move off usually clears the rust from the brake pads. I used to get the same on my ICE cars every morning, but then we are only 200 yards from the sea.

OK it's a fair cop. ;-)
