After a while Morec have got back to say that the box is not a repairable item , and that they agree there is a fault , but due to overuse????? if 50 charges in 2 years is overuse. ( 2000 kw ) . They did however gave me a code for Amazon to get a 30% reduction on a replacement EVSE. So not...

Has it affected the radar which is behind that panel? 🤷‍♂️

Nice choice, again out of my league , but you have not answered the big question. When joining the BMW forum is your first post going to start , " Coming from a MG4 to......... " Seriously though your impressions after a few weeks would be appreciated. :)

I first saw the Red Arrows when I was 10 in the early 70s when they had the Gnats and were allowed to low fly over the crowd. As the multicoloured smoke descended over the gasping audience the commentator said the dyes were mixed with kerosene and injected into the exhaust/tailpipe , which...

Bloody spellchecker , you should have seen my first attempt. :whistle:

Well, that beats mine for serialism . 🤷‍♂️ 🤷‍♂️ 🙃

An early Rothko , ( the drinking years ) before he got his technique right. Wigan Art Gallery ?

This could go on for Heifer and Heifer. 🐄

Exactly , and typified by the use of the word " restrain" , even when we try it still pops out . o_O

A couple of years back I posted a tongue in cheek ( which was dismissed with ridicule ) post saying the MG4 was going to be a future classic and we should buy a spare one to keep in aspic for future investment. Perhaps time for a re-visit???? :D Nine years ago I predicted a date for the...

It's always an option worth exploring , I would have to set it on a timer to coincide with the charge times. Doing some fag packet calculations it does seem to go up 1°C every 2 and a half minuets , which means something is amiss. My latest ever changing theory is that the contactor is...

As you have all suspected it has gone all quiet on the Eastern front with regards customer service. Put a 38% charge in yesterday and by the time 12 kwh had gone in it had clicked off , the temp at 57.8°C which seems to be proper cut off temp. Reduced the current to 16A AC but then that cut off...

Yes, absolutely of course , family spat and all that. Good,.... now I'm in the clear..... Hey ! boys , take it on the chin, she might have a point yer know! :D

Thanks,... the use of a smiley emoji on your original admonishment would have lessened the severity of its context. For my own part I was indignant because I did not post anything on what we presume was the offending " sketch " but only replied with "funny emojis" to what I considered a funny ...

Never underestimate the power of passive censorship, most of us have the guile to mind our Ps and Qs and moderate our public responses even when its could be considered banter within a joke thread. One persons humour is different to the next and sometimes clash along with their sensibilities...

Pourquoi ? SVP. 🤷‍♂️

????? A budget Youtube version of the Wicker Man.????? 😳

Are your ears burning yet? Its going to be a long night. !:D

Loophole, how can it be a loophole , I had only just thought of it !!!! o_O

When starting out you can go on your Dads insurance. Would it be possible to reverse the situation and go on your sons/daughters ticket???? as an included driver.

If I was you I'd check the front valence for evidence of bits of piston / valves being blown out the exhausts. :p

And guess where else ???? not even an option.🇫🇷

Generally agree , but things is , what they are. I admit I've turned mine into a early 1990s cheap spec car , but apart from a bit of excess weight its the best car by a long way I have ever had in terms of enjoyment and drivability for the roads I drive on. Those systems are still there for...

With thanks to Bricktop who put us right on this , the radar is not where you would naturally think it is ( behind that square panel under the reg plate ) but its above the reg plate towards the crease in the plastic bumper. The manual says keep it clear of dirt and snow but does not specify...

Sparky lad, to get the car you want , go into the pilot screen , down to bottom ( Scroll up ) its off the screen and turn on Towing Mode .... and enjoy! ..... No LKA, No emergency braking , No beeps and bongs . Just you , accelerator, brakes ( and regen )and a steering wheel. And it stays on as...

No, No, No, we are not merging threads. Keep the cheese where it belongs ! :p

After taking advice from MGs legal department , I can state that all answers can change without notice at my discretion , and all questions will have to go through a hierarchal process and a roll of the dice before a suitable / unsuitable response is given. :whistle:

Over my dead body???

I somehow have the feeling it will never be too late? Nein. ⁉️

You've been asking the mice,....... 🪐 we'll regard that as cheating!

Dear Contestants , your quizmaster has just had a nervous breakdown. After the required amount of rest he will apply to be a supply teacher working in deprived schools in rundown towns in Northern England, where he hopes to encounter some sensible conversations with the knife wielding youth of...

No... you are in team 2 , does no-one know the rules,...... and stop it with the ruddy cats , my scoring system is now messed up. :mad:

In France , they make a lot of policies expire on Dec 31st. That way when the renewal notice comes through, often late , you are more pressed for time to search out rivals who are then on holidays and you are more out of touch with Christmas preparations and all that palaver. Renew , is then...

Warm , in more ways than one.!

Good try, wrong thread. there is still one answer remaining , no restriction on the amount of goes allowed. Edit: actually, answer given is disqualified due to the fact I never thought of it. And I had posted badly worded question. :whistle::whistle:

Winner Number 1, In 4th spot. A big boon for the Scottish tourist industry, but when will the various Scottish archaeology groups get together to dig out the remaining carcasses?:)

If anyone has plans for a few days in France in the coming week , there are plans for national strikes on the 10th and 18th September. Could affect travel etc etc , be aware. On the up side ,if you have any old tyres you need get rid of !!!

Yep , there it is , right at the bottom, I needed to scroll up a little to see it.

Politicians answer, you cannot keep repeating a wrong answer and expect it to be right!!!:mad:

Who fancies a game of Family Fortunes? Category : Pictures on the MGEV forum: 1st contestant, Dad : Err.. MG cars and other sports/classic cars...... correct 1st place 2nd Mum : Dogs : ...... correct 5th place 3rd Son : Scenery , ......correct 2nd place 4th Daughter : Cats , ERR, ERR...

On the bench dedicated to Samuel Beckett?

Like Siteguru , no I did not notice, not that I've ever used it. Is it ( was it ever ) on the app? Is it , that intelligent it does not need human intervention? Will it , re-appear if the temperature / battery percentage drop below a certain level? Was it , linked to the old re-gen/ power...

I'm sorry to say its not the end of the matter? .... we will expect all the gory details when you get finalisation of everything , and when you are composed and happy with the settlement. :)

Brilliant, one up for the small guy. But having said that , its just right and proper and is small compensation for all the stress and anguish you have had to endure.

A bit draconian but the roads would sure be a bit quieter . In reality each has its own uses and advantages and they have to be weighed against common courtesy and decency. If stationary at traffic lights when you know you'll be a while, handbrake and neutral, when traffic is creeping forwards...

All the updated " contract" conditions are publicly and freely available and posted outside the Town Hall on Rigel 5. ..... with apologies to Douglas Adams. 🪐

Maybe the 10mm spanner battery reset trick might clear it?

Nice work , but on one of those dark and stormy Yorkshire Moors nights ..... close encounters of the third kind?...... sort of vibe. Now that's implanted in your mind.... Similarly if you happen to have a bald headed rear seat passenger in the middle you are going to confuse any following...

That is one of the printouts (in French) I took to my dealer two weeks ago, and was rejected along with my indignation. They did relent when I stated a fault and put it through under warranty but I did not get the full updates I was expecting through that document. They responded with their own...

Its a deal, Air B+B might want their sordid cut , and next years tax returns might make interesting reading...." Crumpets, vhat are zeeze crumpets? " :cautious:⁉️💲

I have never actually bothered to find out , bit remiss really . It always reminds me of the main one in Fleetwood. :)

You are going to need an EU export exemption licence for that many crumpets , is the Berlingo big enough? As an introductory offer 2 crumpets = 1 kWh of electrons. And they could be Aldi/ Lidl crumpets , desperate times , desperate measures. :D It's three years since the last crumpet was...

For those wanting nicer weather and coffee, how about , Brive le Gaillarde , lighthouse sometime after? Why? if someone can tell me there is a lighthouse in Brive , the Atlantic is 200+ kms away , I would be interested. Er, erm , there are some lovely gites with EV charging not too far away if...

Add on a dose of nationality, religion, history and Gazza pretend playing a flute. !!!

So , finally .... that's what happened to Bricktop? :eek:

You've been sold a pup! there is no way that vice weighs a ton?
