I seem to remember various people having some problems with BP Pulse chargers, but I don't know what the consensus is. If I rock up to one of these chargers in a couple of weeks, am I likely to get a charge?

So here's the plan. Regular readers may remember that I drove to Sussex and back (from central Scotland) last August to attend the Glyndebourne Festival. I enjoyed it so much that I'm going back in May this year (and again in August), and the May trip has also diversified. Day one, 21st May...

Since I got my car (SR, LFP battery) I have noticed consistent behaviour on AC charging. The app will give an estimated finish time, and round about that time the charging power would fall from about 1.88 kw (on the granny charger) or about 6.5 kw (on a type 2) to negligible, usually about 20...

I came across this comment on a YouTube video by a commentator going by the handle of NIanais. I'll quote the important part here. (She - I assume she, because of the feminine avatar - also goes on to criticise MG's customer service, in terms we're all familiar with.) To begin with, we must...

Sorry I've not been around for a few days. Back soon, promise. I just thought older hands might want to hear this one. A day or two ago I was having a bit of a stupid argument with someone who seemed to be saying you had to pay £60,000 for an EV. In the middle of it I posted a photo of my car...

This morning. Checked car to make sure he was awake and ready to accept a pre-heat command later. Internal temperature 9°C External temperature -7°C Last driven on Friday afternoon (that's the day before yesterday), and even then not far enough to warm the cabin. Given the frost on my windows...

Just a quick question. Suppose you took the wheels off the car and shuffled them randomly. Where would you look to find out which one should be replaced where? Because that seems to be exactly what my garage did when they fitted the new tyres. I didn't say anything to them beforehand because...

I usually run Android Auto with the voice prompts on mute, because I'm only checking to see how the traffic is and if it might be advisable to take a different route. Also the voice prompts annoy the hell out of me. All was well on Wednesday the last time I used it, and it saved me a...

I am noticing that my car becomes unresponsive to the app within a relatively short time after parking it up and leaving it. Less than 48 hours for sure, although I'm not sure if it's less than 36 hours. The app simply doesn't connect to the car at all, but if I go out to the car and unlock it...

In another thread someone pointed out that MG recommend that cars should be charged from 10% to 100% on a "slow charger" every three to six months. I didn't think I needed the car today, so since I was down to 9% yesterday afternoon I thought I'd give it a try. I started the charge about 4.30...

I suppose I should find the thread where this started, about interior trim, but this is a very specific question. HOW DO YOU GET THE BACK SEAT (the part you sit on) BACK IN AFTER REMOVING IT? Lots of people have put seat covers on, and to do this you have to get the seat off its moorings...

Last night on my way home I suddenly got a low pressure tyre warning. When I called up the tyre pressure screen all the tyres were at 2.4 or 2.5 BAR, including the one that is supposedly low. When I scanned the car with the app this morning, same thing. Low pressure warning but all tyres...

I finally got my new phone with Android Auto installed, so I plugged it in to see what would happen. Pretty impressed so far, but I have a feeling I'm not aware of all its capabilities and how to get the most out of it. I thought I'd try the "call so-and-so" feature, and said "call Elsie"...

It's been fine till a couple of days ago, but suddenly the volume control on the right joystick just isn't working at all. It's not the joystick itself, because it still works as normal when it's in HVAC mode or dashboard screen mode. It's not the volume control itself, because the buttons...

I checked the price of the Peugeot e208 a couple of days ago, because I had one as a courtesy car, and I was curious. I had the higher-spec model with the reversing cameras. I didn't actually like the car much, to be honest. I didn't take a screen-shot, but in my memory the prices of the two...

Background. Way back in the post-war years, before she married, my mother was an opera singer, and she sang at the Glyndebourne Festival in (at least) 1949. She was a member of Benjamin Britten's English Opera Group and in the original cast of Albert Herring. I've been to various music...

I've left the car on a rapid charger, and I thought I'd see how fast it was charging. But when opened the app it didn't connect to the car, and when I tapped on "Charging Management" that's the message I got. I can select "bind now" or "later". If I choose "later", it just bounces me back to the...

What the thread title says. Do you have some way to stop all your doors automatically locking when your speed goes over 10 mph? And if so, how do you do it? This was discussed somewhere on another thread, and I think Trophy owners said they could do it, but if that's the case I don't think...

I'm interested in this product on Aliexpress but I'm concerned about fit. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005004846505038.html That's a generic link but the specific item I'm after is the full liner, as here. I think there may be a problem in that I think the thing is made for the Trophy...

I've not seen anyone post a picture of this yet, so here's mine. It's one of the 3D printed versions, which I got from CrawfyP as he had a couple spare. I don't know what it was printed with, so I don't know how well the material will withstand heat and light, but it's damn good for a first...
