    A big Kernow ( charger ) welcome ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ‘

    Just to let anyone planning a holiday ( or just visiting ) the pointy end of Cornwall, know we are catching up. There is now a Tesla installation opened up to Joe Public in Pool ( Camborne/Redruth) and just across the road a Fastned station. The Shell station at the Hayle bypass island has...

    Anyone 'pepped their brake lights up' yet, as Vyvyan would say?

    Anyone pepped their brake lights up yet. And more importantly I suppose, is it legal ? ( AliExpress special). Certainly make your point when braking. Probably extremely irritating if fired during regen braking and sitting at lights with foot on brake.

    Mirror indicator distraction.

    Does anyone else find the indicator lights that wrap around the outside edge of the mirrors a distraction?. I do, especially at night on unlit multi lane roads. Moving from the outside lane to the nearside lane, indicating, looking across to make sure the nearside lane is as clear as I thought...

    How to save electrons whilst doing nothing?

    So, happen to be sitting in the car, doing nothing for a good while. I pulled up and parked, so am in 'ready' mode with park brake on. Can I just sit here doing nothing and it won't waste electrons? What if I want a bit of warmth and music. Obviously don't want to take the top off the 12v...

    ...like teardrops...in the rain ๐Ÿ˜ฅ

    Likely to be trying to use DC charging on the public network in the midst of Storm Nelson later on today (I'm going home, I've done my time etc ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ‘). MG manual says don"t charge in rain, don't consider it if it's even mildly wet, don't stand in puddles and dry everything thoroughly if it's even...

    Hub cap removal ?

    Do you just pull the wheel covers til they pop off ? May be trying to remove them to check if they cause the minor vibration I posted about earlier but don't want to damage them in doing so ( don't know my own strength) .... and if that's all that's required, what's to stop little scrotes...

    Minor vibration through steering at speed

    Having done a 250+ mile trip a few days ago, during which there were short periods of 'excessive speed', I noticed some minor vibration via the steering wheel. As the journey was mostly on our poorly maintained motorways and trunk roads (A30/M5), I wasn't sure whether it was as a result of the...

    First public charger (Tesla) network outing .

    So tomorrow I'm off for my first (and unexpected) 500+ mile round trip in the MG4 (se lr). I have previously been doing it (every 6 weeks, last 4 years) in a 30kwh Soul (ChadeMo) using Electroverse / Osprey / Grideserve etc. I really fancy trying the Tesla chargers so have downloaded the app...

    Private reg.

    Having just bought my first new car (MG4) I treated it to my first private reg which is initials/birthdate related. Then it occurred to me this weekend that OMG would be amusing. Searched on it and not only are they out there but they are half the price I paid for mine. Bum! I was consoling...

    That good ol' keeping the 12V battery perky thread repeat.

    Had the squeaky bum moment this morning with the 12V battery showing 12.2 after just 6 days of ownership. Due to trying to be proactive and not end up with windows inadvertently being left down when I'm not with the car, I'd got into the habit of using the power off button in safety to totally...

    Pedal covers

    Well, birthday's approaching and daughter asked me if I'd like something for the car, bless her. Alloy pedal covers look promising. I've seen posts on here about them and will probably go for those. However came across these and oh, if only they did these for the MG4 ๐Ÿ˜.

Tried searching on 'plug & charge' or 'plug and charge' but search doesn't like '&' or 'and' as too short or common ๐Ÿค” Anyway got far too many returns with plug / charge in as you can imagine. Just came across plug & charge on Octopus app and it looks promising for the future of ev...

    Emergency services call out button.

    Does anyone else think the emergency services call out button above your head ( central / windscreen ) should maybe be a big red button that says "DO NOT PUSH EXCEPT IN AN EMERGENCY" in big letters? ( Watched Father Ted Plane episode last night ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚). It is in exactly the same place I am used to...

    Tomorrow - the rest of the car ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ‘

    Tomorrow I go to collect the rest of the car to go with my collection of bits - Today I thought I'd give the car I'm trading in for it a clean so that I can proudly hand it over and know they got a bargain. After having vac'd inside with all the doors open for.... a while, I leapt in and went...
