Portable induction hob to use with your VtL adaptor, available from £45 and cheaper than Calor Gas..

Just seen two MG4s the same grey colour as mine, nose to tail not a foot between them, going through Emsworth on the old A27; the rear one a 73 plate. They were on a transporter, so for a brief moment I thought one had bricked but they were new and I didn't bother waving..

Those were your first two mistakes..

Hmm, slightly worrying! Took my SE in for a software update, breather, etc. and I've had three warning emailed from SAIC: one for brakes and then two for airbag.. The timings would indicate this is probably the software update unless they are drawing lots as to who has to call me! ;-)

Boys, boys.. I'm very happy with my MG4 if far less so with my local MG dealer: other posts by me here if interested.. My car was bricked back on June 15th which I resolved myself (battery disconnect route and a trickle charger) but when I took my car in as the 12v voltage declined they gave...

Bear in mind that to get the cheap overnight rate of 7.5p on Octopus you need to accept a slightly higher rate during the day. The bill will give you your average rate and it is that that is best used for a true cost. But the more you use at night the better. I have a low mileage and in the...

Don't forget the new Chargers at Leeming Bar and at the Jet garage next to Lidl at Catterick. Had my first long trip from Hampshire to Sheffield and then the Dales two weeks ago and had no issues as there are alternatives now. On my way home misrouted and couldn't stop where I had in mind but...

Haven't managed to go skiing since Covid broke whilst I was in the Italian Alps and since had domestic issues but I certainly started the planning process to go in my then ZS Mk1. Since then I've bought an MG4 standard range with more range and faster charging so even fewer worries. (It would...

The existance of MG4 models with two different ranges underlines that for all the talk of some people, "I need 400 mile range", for many of us we don't or the optimum solution is not to carry around a massive battery that we'll only fully utilise once or twice a year. Due to caring duties (and...

Last week in my village I went to dump some stuff off at the charity shop. I pulled in to park in front of another grey MG4, which might have caused some confusion to the other driver if they'd turned up.. There's plenty of other coloured MG4s around here courtesy of Richmond Portsmouth.

That's good to know. When I got my MG4 it was from the first boat load and LV didn't have it on their database, so went with the rather expensive Admiral who were the only company at the time I could find to insure it. At least when I renew this autumn there should be a bit of competition.

Not yet. I only wandered in there this morning. I don't suppose Richmond Southampton will be much better, but worth a try I suppose. I'll research the location of other dealers too in case I have to be flat-bedded, or if they are accessible. It gets better.. the 12v battery issue IS a show...

My MG4 has a 12 volt red battery warning light and on testing a sub 12v reading, so I took my car in today to see what they could do. I also need a software update and the gearbox breather sorted. Bear in mind the 12v battery issue is a potential show stopper the earliest they could book me in...

Hi, will deal with this later. Have taken your number down, so suggest you redact your post to avoid internet scrapers grabbing it!

I have a spare MG ZS EV emergency space saver kit which I didn't include with the car when I part exchanged it for an MG4. I'm in southern Hampshire if anybody is interested: it's been used for about 6 miles to get somewhere better!

I've done some translation, Italian to English, and it can be quite difficult where you don't even know some of the English technical vocabulary, goofleflump being a very good example! So I now know a fair bit about the process of steel tube making and downhill ski racing.. It's not even nuance...

Thanks guys, looks like I needn't worry. It's just that I've been on ferries (or even neighbour's cars when it's very windy) listening to an annoying and persistent alarm and I don't want to be that person with a flat battery and keeping everyone awake.

I was leafing through my paper MG4 manual (thanks Sloucher!) but couldn't find how to switch off the alarm system to avoid it going off on a bumpy crossing. Portsmouth to Wooton Creek was fine, but given I've crossed the channel bouncing out of my bunk on a ferry (let alone in a number of...

First new car I'd ever bought in my life was a ZS in autumn 2020; first car over 4000 quid as well! I fancied an EV but SH prices seemed expensive, and then the local dealer had a good deal so I cycled over, had a test drive there and then, and paid cash for a new one a few days later. Very...

How do they know that you are or are not a customer? Do you have to let reception know, or what? Either way I suspect there is no minimum spend and nipping in and buying nibbles for the journey, some charcuterie and a few rolls is probably going to be enough? As an observation from someone who...
