    Bigger wheels, wider tyres, boy racer 4 life 😂

    Thanks @MilesperkWh, after much debating and back and forth I've pulled the trigger on: 4 x Michelin CrossClimate 2 215/55 R17 W (98) Just under £600 on tyres 🤮 But having had the previous gen CrossClimates on another car, the CrossClimate2 appear to be a decent upgrade and with their improved...

    Bigger wheels, wider tyres, boy racer 4 life 😂

    Hi @PhillCPH, did you end up increasing your tyre height? I'm also considering going for a 215/60/17 (up from 215/50/17). Certainly looks like there would be ample room in the arches but keen to understand if anyone has fitted these yet and if they rub at all?

    Frasers Falkirk - MG Dealer Discussion, Opinions & Experiences

    Infotainment got an update yes. I didnt get the update to enable charging when unlocked, but if I wanted it they’d do it. I’m not actually fussed about it

    Frasers Falkirk - MG Dealer Discussion, Opinions & Experiences

    Just completed my trip down from Aberdeen to Falkirk for my first service. I’ve been slightly apprehensive about the trip on two counts: 1) Charge Place Scotland are still going through some difficulties with the network switchover to Swarco. I havent received my replacement RFC card yet so...

    I did like the irony of that one when I was told about the plate!

    Interest free loan (0%) over 6 years for up to £28k to buy an EV (Scotland only)

    I used this when I bought mine a year ago and it was one of the main factors in making my mind up. It was very easy to apply and has been straight forward since. Very pleased to see it is still available!

    Silent running - pedestrians watch out!!

    I'm quite happy with the volume of the ZS EV and actually really like the noise it makes when travelling at slow speeds / setting off, reversing etc.. I think it sounds quite futuristic and a bit like a turbine engine (think KITT). In fact I really wish we could customise the sound so that I...

    Frasers Falkirk - MG Dealer Discussion, Opinions & Experiences

    Frasers of Falkirk have been fantastic for us. I live in Aberdeen so it's a similar trek for me as it is for @Dave S, but I am willing to make that journey when necessary as I had a great experience buying the car, they made me feel comfortable and earned my trust / custom. Especially when I was...

    Park's MG Brechin - MG Dealer Discussion, Opinions & Experiences

    Scottish members- where are you?

    I missed this post so apologies for the late appearance! I'm also of the Scottish breed, located in Aberdeen though and as per usual, there's not many others in the car scene near here! Everyone always seems to be predominantly south of Edinburgh 🤷‍♂️ Not sure I could bring myself to take the...

    Stoned Brakes (brake removal and front end jacking)

    I definitely did also :)(y) If the stone had been smaller, or wedged more towards the edge then it might have worked, but for the size and where it had lodged itself it was easier just to pop the pads and disc off. The dust shields are actually pretty robust too, I was expecting them to be a...

    Stoned Brakes (brake removal and front end jacking)

    I suspect the neighbours in the houses near where I pulled over to investigate must have been watching horrified as I tried that very thing repeatedly :LOL: forwards, backwards, turning full lock and wiggling side to side, scraping loudly the whole time🤪

    Stoned Brakes (brake removal and front end jacking)

    We set off in the MG this weekend and a very short distance down the road started hearing an awful noise coming from the car. It started low volume and at first we thought it was the radio! (it sounded like static), then we opened then windows and realised it was indeed coming from the car and...

    Can we make the mugs bong every time you put them down as nod to the original version? :ROFLMAO:

    MG ZS EV community merchandise

    A Crude Mockup, but I was thinking that combining the site logo with the glowing orbs of the charge port cover could look cool (even more so if it's a heat sensitive mug where they can appear and disappear o_O). With the grill styling in the background fading out towards the edges. I was...
