Think pressure washers are perfectly safe. As already said, don't go really close to the bodywork, about 6 inches is fine. And don't directly jet wash the radar sensors, if your worried about um. Happy washing! 🙂👍

To the forum and congrats on your new motor. 🙂👍

Sorry to hear. 🙁

It certainly is. 🙂👍

Can't believe the difference in price. 🤷‍♂️ Obviously some dealers trying it on, hoping some sucker walks in. 🙄🤪 Fantastic price. 👍 Rip off, price. 👎

Changed me mind. Definitely close this thread! 🙄🤪😉🙂👍

To the forum. 🙂👍

Nah, some of um are very, funny. 🤣 Ok, some of um are, definitely not. 🙄 Just ignore those. 🤪 Definitely shouldn't be closed, though. 🙂👍

There you go then. Pointless. 🙂👍

Or a Toyota Aygo. So definitely a nice motor, but nothing really radical. 🙂👍

To be fair, he's obviously correct, the faster you go, the more leccy you'll use. And probably won't get there, much quicker. The amount of times I've flew past someone, only for them to pull up at the side of or back of me, at the lights. Lights change and off we go again. Same on the motorway...

To the forum and congrats on your new motor. Enjoy! 🙂👍

Mmmm, not moved on much then, have we. 😉🙂👍

Is it? 🤔🙂

Probably true. Just not as much, fun. 😉👍

There's a life outside this forum? 🤷‍♂️ Now you tell me! 😉🙂👍

Wouldn't worry, there's a few not as active this month. (So far). 😉🙂👍

Waitrose? 😉🙂👍

Glad no one was hurt. 👍 Not Clive, is it. 🙄😉

To the forum and congrats on your new motor. Enjoy! 🙂 👍

That sounds like a load of cobblers. 🙄🤪

Bet know one, would even notice. 🙂👍

WOW! 🙄🤪 Hover car's much better, though. 😛😉🙂👍

Good pic. But didn't know MG did a Hover car. 🙄 😉 🙂 👍

Ah but....... 😉🙂👍

Tis a lovely colour. Just not Orange 🧡 enough. 😉🙂👍

Thought it was only MGs that had problems. 😉🙂👍

Make sure the socket you use for the granny charger is EV rated. And don't charge at more than 10 amps. I've first hand experience to what can happen if you don't. 🙄

Totally agree, there should be no "expensive" car tax at all, it's a load of cobblers, I've always said that. It's just the way ICE driver's tend to whinge at anything EV drivers get that, they don't. Free VED (at first) the 50k threshold. Loving the proposed 3p per mile charge for EVs. Because...

Can't argue with that. 🙂👍

To the forum. 🙂👍

I sympathize with you and others, who have had trouble with there MGs, dealers and MG UK. Certainly wouldn't like it meself. But that's a bit of a sweeping statement, based only on your experiences. I'm sure there are lots of MG owners, that think, totally the opposite. 🤷‍♂️ 🙂👍

Actually keep an 👁 on Stuart. Posting all those posts on obscure MG dealers. 😉 What's next I wonder MG moonbase alpha. Not much atmosphere but great sales and servicing, infact out of this world. And don't forget the Affinity and beyond scheme..... 🙄😉😶👍 .

I'm slightly reluctant (only slightly) to take the Piss out of ICE-age drivers as at the end of the day, we are all drivers. And i don't like seeing any fellow driver's screwed. But as said the stick they give EVs is unbelievable. Infact what the hell am i saying ****um. 😉🙂👍

All coming full circle now though. What comes around, goes around. Now who's bloody laughing. 🤣 Love it! 🙂👍

I also put it on the wheel bolts. Just a smidgen on the threads. Never ever had any trouble whatsoever, with doing that. Some will say don't, and infact some will be horrified, with that. But experience tells me it's perfectly safe. Just a smidgen, mind you. Not a bloody big blob of it. 🙂👍

Agree, to a certain extent. But 30mm will be fine imo, even with our shit roads. Never had any trouble whatsoever, with a 30mm drop. (H&R Springs) Any more then that, and your probably asking for it. 🙄

To the forum, stodge. 🙂 👍

They're just guessing, then. They think of a figure, double it, then add a nought. 🙄🤪

Must be pretty good then. 😉🙂👍

Agree. Don't use superglue. Gorilla glue, is much better. 😉🙂👍

Yep, and they've no qualms in squeezing um! 🤪

Nah! 🙄🤪😉🙂👍

🤪 nuff said. 🙂👍

To be fair, I bet there's more than a few on here, that do. 🙄😉🙂👍🤪

Nope John. Undoubtedly there will be others. But it's certainly not rife in MGs. I'm betting no worse than any other manufacturer. But obviously we won't here about those. 🙂👍

Always happens. I'd be suprised even disappointed if it didn't. 🙄😉🙂👍

Obviously you tend to know we're the bastards are in your area, but even then one can sneak up on you. I got done for Speeding in Feb 2024 and then again in Feb 2025. 🙄 I was shitting meself all through Feb 2026 but managed to get through it. 🤪

Was it commented, on? 🙂👍

Well done Clive, I resisted that one. 😉🙂👍

The vast majority of speed cameras/vans are simply money making machines. Simple's, end of. 🙄🤪

Changed my alloys recently so had a good look at suspension components, while the wheels were off, and had a look underneath as best I could. And didn't see anything untoward. Same with the bodywork, under the bonnet, door hinges etc, again nothing untoward. 🤷‍♂️

Who knows how car insurance works. 🤷‍♂️ They obviously make it up, as they go along. Knowing they've got you by the knackers. 🙄🤪

Enjoy your new motor. Stick around and let us know how you get on with, the Tesla. And glad you enjoyed your MG 👍

I can understand folk wanting to put waxoyl/dinitrol etc. If they are keeping the car, forever. But even then, it wouldn't be for me. There's no way, I'm messing under a brand new car, or paying someone, to do extra rust proofing. These days most cars are pretty well, rustproofed. Ok your always...

Like that. Definitely a Taycan look about it. Seems to be a trait with SAIC designer's. IM5/IM6/Model 3/Y and now this Taycan. No bad thing though, nice looking motors. The centre screen movement is novel, bloody noisy though. Think it's a case now of, just how much Tech, you can throw at a...

Yep the 50k tax threshold is definitely applicable to EVs infact it's back dated to last April 2025. And as you say absolutely no pockets in a shroud. Go for it. 🙂👍

Can you not turn that off? Perhaps in the menu. Mine flashes but doesn't bong.

Car looking good. And nice pad. 🙂👍

What bongs do you mean? You can switch the LKA off, if it bothers you, ok not permanently, but you can switch it off. Can't comment on the radio, as it's never happened to me, a fault perhaps? And I've never accidentally turned the light switch on.

Pics like this, interest me. I always think what they were like as brand new cars. Someone's pride and joy probably. Now look at um. 🙁

2 doodle dandy, ones. 🙁 T-cut?

Very very frightening. 🤪

Good! 🙂👍

Just "fuelling" up. 😉🙂👍

Agree. But also some MG dealers will give you the Affinity price, even if don't qualify. Rather than lose a sale. Always worth an ask. 🙂👍

Agree to a certain extent, but just coz it's in Sport's mode, you can still potter about, and wouldn't make much difference, when queuing. And it would be there ready, for when needed. 😉 Plus you wouldn't have to keep changing from eco to sport and vice versa. But as always each to there own. 🙂👍

Thanks, that's cleared it up, for me. 🙄🤪😉🙂👍

To be honest, I don't really understand all this kWh stuff. As it doesn't really interest me. I just charge my X Power when it needs it. And drive the bloody thing, usually quite quickly. 😉🙂👍

Yep, I've saw a 250 mile range after a 100% charge in Summer, wether I actually get that, who knows. I never actually check it. 160/170 miles range after a 100% charge is the norm in Winter. Never been in Eco mode. And don't have the Vibes. Lucky I guess. 🙂👍

I'm not talking about a new luxury car. I'm just taking about a new car, nothing special but new. If you've done your sums, and can afford it, then why not.

I would think everyone does. But for some it's the only way.

Again I agree. But even though, I had credit on a lot of cars, it was never beyond my means. And also agree, it's nice to save up, to buy things. But particularly in this day and age, when technology moves on so quickly, saving up for years, the stuff you want, is already out of date, so to...

Agree, I've always had a nice motor, as I've always been into me car's, but a lot of the earlier ones, where on credit. It's only in recent years, I've been lucky enough to pay cash for stuff, including cars. And no you didn't come across as arrogant, at all. 🙂👍

Agree, to a certain extent about getting stuff on tick. But for some it's simply the only way, to get the things they want/Need. As long as they can afford the repayments, then I don't see the problem. If your in the position to pay for stuff, straight up, then good on ya. But unfortunately...

Agree, the road tax system is total Bollox. To me a car is a car, simple's. Why should you pay more, just because your in the position to afford, a nicer more expensive car, your still only taking up One space on the road. And I know folk will say, if you can afford an expensive motor, why...

WOW! Nice motor. 😎🙂👍

How come? 🤔

Similar with me X Power after 19 months. I obviously get more in Summer than Winter. But that's as far as it goes, with me. I don't over analyse it, as it doesn't really bother me. But fair enough, for those, that it does. 🙂👍

To the forum and congrats on your new motor. The Mirror was Probably/Hopefully an infamous MG glitch. And won't happen again. Enjoy. 🙂👍

Where's the nicked, option. 🙄

Early years, HP. Later years. Cash.

Very much doubt it.

Good Vibrations (Not) 🙄🤪 Never heard anything about um on an MGS5, though. 🤔

Sausage, Mash, Peas and Gravy. Sorted! 😋 🙂 👍

Night, Terry. 😴💤

To the forum. Some pics of your classic MGs, would be nice. 🙂👍

To the forum. 🙂 👍

I've used me Granny Charger exclusively for about, 13,500 miles. And never used an high speed charger. Similar to above, after a bit of a scare, I now only charge at 10 amps, it's slower, but safer. And still suits my needs, perfectly. 🙂👍

Not doubt it might. But I for one, won't be trying, it. 🙂👍

Think he must've been certified. Over 3ft of water, for 30 mins. WOW! no chance, certified or not. 🙄🤪

Goes down a Bomb or costs a bomb. 😉🙂👍

Brilliant! Well you did want small wheels, big tyres. 🙂👍

Will take some keeping clean! But does look fantastic when clean. 🙂

Perhaps starting to over think it to much. Just checked, and an MGS6 has 245/50/20 on a 7.5 x 20 wheel. Or 235/55/19 on a 7.5 x 19 wheel. Does not list 18s for the S6. It's not gonna make a massive difference in range, a bit perhaps, but nowt to worry about. 🙂👍

Yep, we know all that, but modifyings still gotta be done. Do everything right and you'll be fine. 🙂👍

S'pose at the end of the day. It's up to you. 🙂👍

To the forum and congrats on your new motor. Good choice. Enjoy! 🙂 👍

In my experience it's minimal. The overall diameter of the wheels are the same be it 18 19 or 20 because the tyre side wall is smaller. So the rolling radius is the same. l wouldn't worry about it to much. 🙂👍

To the forum. Congrats on your new motor. Enjoy! 🙂👍

Minimal difference.

Very appropriate T-shirt. As that's the way ICE is going. 🙄😉🙂👍🤪

Not sure if 18s will fit. Think 19s are the smallest 7.5 x 19

Excellent! 🙂👍

Happy Star Wars day. with Ryobi-wan Kenobi. 😉 🙂 👍 🤪

Sounds impressive, but to be honest didn't understand a lot of it. And not sure if I actually want to. In the future and possibly the not to distant, do we actually want a totally autonomous car. One were you just get in and say, such a place and that's it, you just sit back. Think that's a bit...

Fair enough. 🙂👍

Agree, as wheel covers go. They are very good, look great. 🙂👍

To the forum. You'll love the, X Power. 🙂👍

Is this it, very light Green .

To the forum. And congrats on your new motor. 🙂👍

Not Again, Clive. 😉🤪🙂👍

Site owner. 🙂👍

🤣 Have you seen, Stuart. He must have a nosebleed, so high up! 😉 🙂 👍

Brilliant! 🙂👍

WOW! Retired at 37. Good on ya. 🙂👍

What an odd sign! 🤷‍♂️ Note the graffiti on the sign. 🙂

You'll fit in nicely on here, then. 😉🙂👍

Agree, think sometimes they just give you a pill. It's just the easiest thing to do. 🤷‍♂️

Sipped it down overnight, so the roads are very wet. So 1st drive out with my budget tyres, in the wet. To be honest they were fine, no problems. Gave it a bit of welly around a few roundabouts and corners, far more than I normally drive, and didn't find a ditch or end up the wrong way round...

Agree, about the Guinness, they taste exactly the same. To be fair, so do a lot of 0% Lagers and Ciders. I Remember the 1st 0% Lager I tried, years ago. Kaliber think it was called, twas bloody awful. But now they, do taste the same, but not with the same effect. 🤪

If it's just happened again, check the fuse. 😉🙂👍

To be honest, Bailey's has been on offer for bloody ages. Sometimes wish it wasn't. It's far too, tempting and would be rude, not too. 🙄🤪👍

Quite partial too, Bailey's, White Zinfandel, John Smith's Extra Smooth and the odd Guinness. Not all at once, obviously. 🙄😉🙂👍🤪

Chicken and Bacon pasta, with an Egg, Chicken bites, Cocktail sausages and a Mature Cheddar slice. 😋🙂👍

Yep, definitely voting for that Pharmacy in the local Erection. Ooops sorry Election. 😉🙂👍

You can, read? 😉🙂👍

Not a joke, but definitely amusing. 😏 And definitely going, up in the world. 🙄

Not too bad. A good shit Will shift that. 🙂

Oooo, a fact fight. 😉🙂👍

🤣 Very good! 🙂👍

Excellent! John. 🙂👍

What, like this. 😉🙂👍

Pretty sure it won't, but yep I'll let you know, after I've had the bonnet resprayed. 😉🙂👍

I will. But I'm pretty sure, it'll look good. 🙂👍

Exactly, so I'm betting it would work on a badge. So it literally, falls off. Would imagine at least an hour soak. Like I say, gonna give it a go. 🙂👍

Here's hoping, John. We'll all cross our fingers, it might help. 🤞

Did you, really doubt us. 🤣😉🙂👍

I've never tried this method of de-badging but. Supposedly if you spray WD40 down the badge, let it soak for a while. It literally comes of with very little effort. And considering I always use WD40 to clean the excess glue, left on the car. In theory it could work, probably sort of melts the...

He was good at first. But now it's more the Mat Watson show, than about the cars. 🙄

Methinks a lot less than that. 🙂👍

Listened to Fakebook, probably. 🙄🤪

Yep, sometimes stuff is repeated, I say repeated. 🙄😉🙂👍

And yet the ecoboost engine, won a load of international awards. 🤷‍♂️ S'pose that says a lot about awards. 🙄

You bin on the Magic ones. 🤪

Fungi's, you lot! 🙄🤪

Actually he is, it's an EV.... Oh, hang on a minute, that one's got, vroom, vroom, noises. 😉🙂👍

Is that for bigger socks. 😉🙂👍

Genuine question. What's the big deal about OTA updates? 🤷‍♂️

Yep, that would do it. Then you could just brush all the dust together, of what's left of the car. And put it into a bucket. 🙂👍

You wood'nt miss it. 😉🙄🙂👍

Probably won't see much of you anyway. Perhaps just a blur. 😉🙂👍

You honestly won't be disappointed. Make sure you get the "Genuine" California Duster, though. Absolutely perfect for a lightish covering of dust. 🙂👍

Done that, Clive. 🤣🙄🤪

California Duster, Clive. Perfect for that. 😉🙂👍

Anyone remember their Mum, darning. Holey moley. 🙄🙂👍

Agree, keep in touch. We'd love to hear about that! Enjoy! 🙂👍

Darn good, socks. 🙄😉🙂👍

If your not, up to no good, you've nowt to worry about. Unless picking ya nose, is a capital offence. Then most if not all the country, would be in trouble. 🙄😉🙂

Thanks, Clive. I'll go ahead then. 🙂👍

To be honest, don't think it would. I'm only gonna use the MG part of the sticker not the Octagon part. We'll see, anyway. 🙂👍 Is the badge, just stuck on, do you know?

This might have already been discussed, but save trawling through loads of posts. Does anyone know, if the front MG badge on an MG4, is just stuck on, with tape, or are there holes behind the badge. As I want to take it off, and replace it, with a black, MG sticker, for that nice, simple...

May the 4th Be with you. 🙂 👍

Soon be Crimbo! 🙄 🎅 🎄

Ditto, that. 👀🙂👍
