    Forced change of Dealer.

    Our, Richmond franchised MG dealer, moved house, in the year between services, from Southampton centre to Botley, which is a pain to get to on public transport. Rather than book the service online, I called and arranged the service for whenever the had a courtesy car available. There was a...

    Forced change of Dealer.

    There was a bit about this on the podcast, referencing the change in dealers was about the size of showroom and the number of cars they had space for, as MG want to increase numbers shipped.

    Tricky Chargers

    Try looking at it another way... I can easily drive for 2 hours on a full battery in winter in my LR... re-charge to 85% while having a coffee and a toilet break, drive a further 2 hours, rinse and repeat...
