    Heating/Aircon Screen - how to disable?

    Is there a way to disable or work around the normal behaviour of the screen when switching on the Aircon? By default, the Aircon adjustment screen appears when you press the Aircon button - which normally is fine: but if I'm using the Google Maps Navigation from my phone via CarPlay, I then have...

    Driving to Cornwall

    I’m driving to Cornwall on Friday, from Maidenhead, in Berkshire in my Trophy LR, which I’ll charge up to 100% before leaving home. So, about 4 hours, via either the M4/M5, or M3/A303 to Exeter, then A38 to Plymouth, and on to Looe. Does anyone have any hints/tips to share about charging points...

    Applegreen Chargers at Warwick

    Last November, returning from a family wedding in Worcester, I called in at the Warwick Services on the southbound M40 for a quick top-up for my 4LR. This was my first-ever attempt at public charging. The two (count them!) chargers that I was heading for were of course occupied. I hadn't done my...

    Door light from AliExpress

    This seemed a good idea at the time of impulsive purchase! Does anyone have an idea of how to install/is it worth bothering with?

    EV plonker hogging ICE stations

    Us EV drivers complain a lot (rightly) about ICEs parking on an EV charger bay - today I saw the other side of the coin when an EV driver nonchalantly parked his car (an MG5) at a petrol pump before going to grab a coffee at Greggs. Plenty of off-pump parking bays available. What an idiot! I...

    One Pedal Driving, how to use?

    After a couple of weeks with my MG4, I love the Regen braking - the High setting really slows the car when I take my foot off the accelerator do the brake lights come on?), and I use the brake pedal gently for the last couple of feet, then a hard press on the brake to activate AutoHold. How...

    Things I love (or don’t) about my new MG4 – very subjective!

    1 week old and 300 miles - some initial thoughts: GREAT 1 The lovely ‘Whoosh’ as the car accelerates! And instant torque, wow... 2 The looks: The front 100/100 The sides 95/100 The rear: 90/100 but love the red streaky lights on the rear spoiler! (just s a shame that you can't actually see them...

    Interesting Antipodean video

    Forgive me if everybody has already seen this Australian-weighted video! This guy isn't afraid of the occasional salty language, and says some interesting things, e.g., Recycling of Batteries (at around 47 minutes), and LKA (around 53 minutes)

    Brake Caliper Covers?

    I love the orange brake calipers on the new XPower, but discovered this evening that they are in fact covers. I’ve just ordered a Trophy in Camden Grey and would love green calipers - i’ve looked online for a source of green covers, to no avail. Does anyone know of a source?
