    Flashing speed limit

    Speedos are calibrated to read a fraction higher than actual speed. Road signs will tell you the speed limit (which is not a target), but if the limit has changed recently the satnav will not update - possibly for many months. At least the flashing Speedo should make drivers double check the...

    Accidentally found the self driving feature

    If it slows down on bends which I would consider viable to go round at the original speed, I would consider that very annoying. Driver behind may wonder what's going on. You might even fail a driving test. I wonder if mild acceleration would affect consumption too. Interesting - not something I...

    Rear-mirror USB Connector on MG ZS EV Trophy Connect

    I've had Nextbase ones, but not happy overall, so now have a Viofo A129. There are short usb cables on Amazon, just check the ends

    MG5 facelift Infotainment screen protector

    I use a tablet matte (anti-glare) screen protector on all my devices. Stops dibby marks too. Just check the measurements.

    Tax on tyres now - what ever next !.

    As all motor vehicles use 'rubber' tyres, it's down to the tyre manufacturers to sort this out. I'm sure they are working on it

    Shutting down and locking car

    I'm not going for an MG 4, but I hate the radio coming on as soon as I start up, so always shut everything off before I get out.

    Can you chaps tell me who has the best INSURANCE deals for BEVs?

    I have just changed from Admiral to One Call via the Meerkats site and saved £200 by buying it the same day. I did it the same day I had my renewal, (20 days in advance), which is the Goldilocks time & when I went direct it was a lot higher. Do your research in advance and then check again and...

    Normal Rage V Long Range?

    I've ordered a long range to avoid having to charge frequently and yet have the benefit of longer range when I need it to visit family. 'Grazing' is a good way to keep topped up too.

    Static leakage

    I sometimes get zapped when I get out of my cars (as in the ones I've had over time). I can't be sure, but I think it may be when I'm wearing polyester or perhaps something nylon.

    WhatCar Winter Range Test

    Not impressed with their test process, but if it's the same every time they do one, then it may be useful.

    Failed OBC on board charger

    I had the OBC on my 2016 Kia Soul EV replaced under warranty last month - they wouldn't show me the bill, but said the part was £3000. We were stuffed when it broke as there were no DC chargers within reach.

    Miles / kWh VS Real Range

    While I am waiting for my MG, my Smurf is consistently giving me 3.9m/kWh. That's good enough guide for me to check consumption. It is what it is. 😎

    Interesting watch on EV Tyres For All EVs

    I'd rather have all-seasons tyres and slightly reduced range. I would consider that for any tyre.

    Car Froze unable to exit car!!

    I know I would not physically be able to get through to the boot. I guess I'll have to get one of those emergency hammers. Is it just the MG4 which has this problem?

    Shall i get excited.

    Mine was ordered same time. Visited the dealer the other week, just to be nice & friendly as I'm not in a hurry and he said he'd bumped me onto a December 2021 cancellation.

    MG computer systems up Now

    I'd wait for the new reg if you can, unless it's already been done. It helps with model recognition when you come to sell. I had a December 2017 plate on a 2018 facelift Suzuki and they priced it wrong at trade in.

    MG ZS EV - I cannot use CCS On Public Chargers

    MG ZS EV - Love the car...BUT two niggling issues

    Did I read somewhere that LKA is going to be mandatory on new card - or was I having my worst nightmare?

    MG ZS EV Temperature and drastic drop in miles per kWh

    Apologies, but I don't understand the bit about the surcharge. 🤔
