Indeed! I do wish they had implemented progressive steering as I'd actually have loved to have one.

The dangers are not overstated at all. I decided to drive my MG5 without using the top half of the wheel yesterday for a total of 9 miles on an errand, to simulate yoke driving. I wanted to prove to myself one way or another, in case I was being over negative about it. The way you have to steer...

Tesla doesn't have progressive steering either on any UK models (Cybertruck does have it) and their yoke doesn't work at all well in use on the cars. They've barely promoted that option in the UK, was one of Musk's pet ideas, along with indicator buttons on the wheel itself, rather than a...

Not sure, it would be pretty cynical to do so, really knowing the customer is using the car normally. Generally people are driving their car to shows too, not taking them on a trailer! Don't mean to be a killjoy here, I'm all about people doing as they like, except when it comes to putting...

As the car doesn't have progressive steer by wire, whereby you are at full lock at not much more than 100 degrees or so of wheel turn, (which is the only really safe way to have a yoke) you may well be in trouble with your insurance and liability in the event of an accident if it happens during...

I'm into VW buses, they last forever but when used to such mileages in the UK climate, will have to have had extensive bodywork over the years too as they like to rust given the chance! Never mind, I've just seen where T1Terry lives, lol!!

I'm sure they "officially" get put in the scrap metal skip out back, with all the other scrap, worn brake discs, old control arms and such. In reality, one of the techs probably has himself a nice set of slightly corroded wheels to use and/or renovate. ;) Reminds me of years ago when I...

I second this as the most likely cause.

Great job the OP has done there, well done. As for colour coding, there's no rhyme or reason to most 12V car wiring! Mind you, I retired from my first occupation as an electrician back in 1994, and still can't get over the fact they switched 240V mains wiring from red & black, to brown & blue...

Just had a look at the MGS6 whilst getting my 5 serviced today. My review of it. Well it looks pretty large, appears to be of exceptional build quality with a lovely interior and a nice (none opening) panoramic glass roof. In the flesh, still looks very generic and dull to my taste though.

Ha! Well tried again and now it's sending over a code, so issue solved. :)

Anyone else getting the same issue as this? And if so, how to resolve it. My app stated the token had expired, or some such nonsense, 1 year on from getting the car, and I needed to log in again. I have, of course, forgotten the password I set a year back. No problem I thought, just click on...

Not so sure about that, having actually done an EV conversion and knowing the work involved to do it properly, no one is doing conversions commercially for £15k. Unless you just mean that's the labour cost. Parts alone to do it properly are going to run well over £10k. Whilst I do think that...

The Scenic is a handsome car too, MG could take some lessons from that type of styling, rather than the curvy generic blob route they're on now.

Did you mean the IM6? The IM5 is a saloon car, so not really comparable like for like. Personally I don't like the look of the IM5, IM6, MGS5, or MGS6. They all look like dull, generic blobs! The only real looker MG have at all now is the Cyberster.
