    Have you noticed fuel prices going up

    Today in Franceland diesel was at 2.09 litre up from 1.75 euros last week. One station I passed had them queueing up 5 deep, so they must be expecting it to get worse. Didn't catch the petrol price but that is traditionally higher. Home supplied Electrons still at 13 cents for a thousand watts...

    Decent review of the upgraded MG4 and the new Urban in this months MG Owners Club Mag.

    Decent review of the upgraded MG4 and the new Urban in this months MG Owners Club Mag.

    For the MG4 , what it did not say, if the MG UK website is to believed : its now a LFP battery and produces around 10 BHP less than the out going NMC version . And it is now heavier than the NMC 77 kwh extended range version . Download the brochure.

    12 V Battery Charging System Fault

    Do you , or a neighbour/ friend have a Multimeter so you can keep an eye on the real battery voltage . It may be a problem with the 12 v charging system or how its just reported. Check the the battery terminals are clean and dry and the clamps are tightened up , for starters.

    New MGS5 LR Trophy for 25K

    For a bit of fun, go on Ali express and search Electric Cars or even Saic Electric cars . Delivery costs will need to be discussed as well as registration and homologation discrepancies. A 2026 MG4 urban for around 9000 euros ? Maybe a source for spare parts when your present car is out of...

    What makes you feel old?

    We always had the same ice cream van that came around every day at 5.00pm for years on end . A new van started coming around at 4.30 pm and nicking the originals round and trade.

    SAIC/MG begins cooperation with the Russians.
