Me too. Opened it yesterday to lock the car and noticed the two extra tabs next to the locking buttons.

The Bigster is huge but isn't offered as a 7 seater. The Jogger is much smaller, but is a 7 seater. The 307sw has a 7 seater option, but as standard comes as a 5 seater.

Please remind me what your current car is. I haven't met anybody who has driven one yet so I'm very interested as to your impressions.

Before I had our Ohme Home Pro installed, we used the Granny charger. I plugged it into the outside socket, which I had installed decades earlier using 1.5 cable via a 16A breaker, with an MK Masterseal socket on the end of it. The circuit was protected by an RCD. While not ideal, it ran fine...

I'm still not sure about the quirky interior. How do you feel about it?

Over the decades, I've attended loads of higher current plug/ socket burn-outs due to loose connections in either the socket, the plug or the fuse holder in the plug or socket. You can't beat good quality components and nice tight connections.

A Manchester registered 73 plate Smurf in SK7 sector 1 yesterday.

Did ride in a crab but never drove or owned one. My Dad had an N reg 1750 Maxi and I owned one briefly much later. As I think I said here somewhere, I am a great Leyland/ Triumph/ Rover fan. They say as a kid, you are either a Ford, Vauxhall or Leyland kid, often depending on what your folks...

Just looked up ADO17, the Landcrab, and here are its vitals compared to the MG4 in brackets: Length: 4191mm (4287) Width: 1702 (1836 without mirrors) Height: 1410 (min 1504) Wheelbase: 2692 (2705) Boot: 481.39 litres (363) BHP: 85 or 94 (Twin Carb - I can't remember if the 1.8 B series in...

Sorry. When I said this: I meant it in relation to BYD's calcs, not the shower circuit.

Or left you stranded every 100 yards....

Cool!

Three contenders that disappeared off my list price wise were the Berlingo, the Scenic and the BZ4X, although I think the last one is a bit small and the charging capabilities limited.

I have come across all sorts as a spark. One of the situations was a shower on a 40A breaker fed with 2.5 mm² cable. I can't remember the shower size, but I had calculated the current at in excess of 45A. 2.5 is rated at 27A maximum. But this shower had run for several years before conking out...

My lease has just over a year to go and I'm looking at what is available in our price range. We are both huge fans of the handling of the MG4, but less so the ride as time goes by. It doesn't help that we use a road at least twice a day that is literally round the corner from ours that is awful...
