In my MG5LR I went to a garden centre in Livingston on Wednesday - about 12 miles by crow. The cars range was ? Adequate? I’m at about 65 metres altitude, the garden centre more or less the same and between lies the Bathgate hills with roads rising to around 300 metres. On the M9 / M8 motorways...

You’ve got to laugh eh?

So was the Land Rover story then but my apologies.

That sounds so similar to the old Morris Minor front suspension threaded swivel kingpin and trunnion trouble. If they weren’t greased as required the threads wore down and pulled through and collapsed the suspension. It happened at low speed too when there was most tension on the parts due to...

Lay flowers on the dash and try again 😍

Hmm, not that I mistrust my infallible razor keen memory or anything but I just had to check them keys right away. It’s only 16 months or so since swapping the ZS for the 5 and I found out just now the the “flick knife”key fob for the 5 doesn’t have the separate emergency key - it’s...

Note to self - check keys in the morning - I’ve dropped mine a few times when plugging in the wall charger at the side of the house. Thanks for the heads up 👌

Aye damper change is just one result of incontinence 🥴

Hi no problem econ or eco are shortened versions of economy. The car sets up slightly different in order to eke out the available battery power. It’s therefore the setting I always go for along with maximum regen setting 3 ‘cos I’m a cheapskate hailing from the north side of Auld Reekie and old...

Aye it’s just about the same here - it’s braw dinkum as we’re wont to say in these parts 🤣🤣 In my dreams 🤩 Best explanation I’ve seen 👌

Yeah we had UK order no 200 mk1 Zs in red then swapped it for the current 5 LR as per my avatar two years ago. My wife did NOT like the shape (mainly the rear end) of the new 4 whatever the colour. a new 4x4 X power Estate would be excellent though - - - MG - - - if you’re listening….😜

I’d just refer you back to my sweet little experiment a while back. I said that rather than a frunk box in my five estate car I simply lay the type 2 cable in a coil on the under bonnet cover. Someone said the heat would affect the cable if it lay there for any length of time. I placed a Curly...

Possibly wearing a heavier winter boot and just enjoying the car more😉

We had the local fire and rescue officers come and give us advice. The only thing they said was to apply warning stickers to the house main doors and to the front and rear screens of the car to alert officers about the presence of oxygen in case of emergency call-outs. They had no specific...

Thanks @Joanna and @Lovemyev. We also had the local fire and rescue officers come and give us advice. The only thing they said was to apply warning stickers to the house main doors and to the front and rear screens of the car to alert officers about the presence of oxygen in case of emergency...

More about the oxygen rather than the nitrogen this time for anyone interested. Ive not been following the forum (or anything else much) for a few months as caring for my wife has taken over most of my time. She’s been diagnosed with heart failure and a clot on her lung and is now dependent on...

Hi Kate, I believe this is the correct sequence of events for a granny charge :- get out of car and keep it unlocked granny cable already in wall socket but switched off plug charger into port in car switch on socket at wall lock car check through window that charging has started Ahh good you...

Check the dashboard - the car will tell you - eg - this is my long range 5 showing 4mpkw last night

Ah yes, but our two ran away from home about thirty years ago so peace reigns supreme 😜

Yes we have it all the time - but the the volume is always at zero in our cars ‘cos we can’t stand the racket 🤣🤣🤣
