Just another Autoglass experience I would share … Fully accepted that if you live in a city, you need instant attention for a totally smashed glazing issue. I think that 1) You were extremely unlucky to be targeted by a total pr*t just to nick a charging cable, and 2) You were extremely lucky...

Have at long last copied across the notes from our last 6-weeks spring-time round trip to SW France (southern Gers) and back. April-May is a lovely time to be driving with nice temperatures – not too hot at around 18-22C most of the time – so reasonable for the car too. Afraid it’s all a bit of...

My Android updated by itself yesterday – knew nothing about it till I checked to see what the SOC was this morning … but as usual, it was fast asleep having been left for 36 hours – so my first knowledge of update was this (albeit in the white version initially). So, whilst it all looks much...

Thanks - I'd never have known about V2s! (The only ones I knew of went 'bang'!) For me yesterday it was vice-versa. Called in for a brief top-up yesterday at Liphook, Hants (in the most bizarrly-hidden Tesla - tucked within the biggest hotel/resort/country-club ever seen) where without looking...

Thanks - that's good to know they do work. In fact, with the MG4 I have no problem with the old chargers as the socket position is identical to Teslas. They are just a silly design as you have to reach through or round the uprights.

From what I've read, I'm quite positive you will be! I should add that I bought a 'cheap' car with purported longer range as my first EV experiment, and with much trepidation after enjoying the ease of an auto Mercedes for many years on long trips. After 18 months, I have to say that (all the...

Got back nearly three weeks ago now - but don't seem to have stopped the usual round of catch-ups (increasingly medical-related as we get older!) since. Found a reasonably good new stopover in Ribérac, which enables us to get to the house a bit earlier on day three. Also found a new 25cent...

... you'll be lucky. Leaving the car for more than a day or so without manual opening sends it into 'deep sleep' so you need to be standing next to it to wake it up again ... and the newest updates haven't improved it. But other than not being able to check up on it as the app is intended, I...

Apologies - indeed it does that ... it is just that there are now so many threads covering - or being taken over by - the horrors of LKA, that it tends to detract from several OPs as it's so emotive. Agreed that the SC077 update does improve LKA a tiny bit (only for me) plus one or two other...

Is this in the right thread ???

Over to an MG5er ... ... and again, in LHD Europe, with an RHD car, it looks to the wrong side of the road, can't tell that they are in kph (despite having everything else set for European data) so gets in a total mess. Ugh!

I turn it off anyway (just like BBC Breakfast!) in pre-flight checks, as it's useless everywhere - but in France, I agree, totally redundant. Over there, I tend to leave on Google mapping via AA purely because it is a bit more accurate - so long as you look out carefully for all the odd 80, 30...

Have a look at this thread ... Damn TPMS 😮 and perhaps this post within the thread ...

Yes; I went through everything I could find on mgevs when researching local servicing, including the above forum for Perkins and others nearby - but as I noted there, my comment was the first for two years (in that forum thread) - so it's not always well used ... but nonetheless still very...

Absolutely - as noted in #204 above.
