    Box/cover for tethered charger

    Hi. Still not finally decided on charger. Delays with installers quotes etc. Looking at OHME. Seen good reviews but wondered what you thought about getting some sort of box/cover so that charger/cable is not on view. Good/bad idea? Anybody got one? Thanks

    I'm curious to gauge as to how much people are paying for their EV insurance as I heard EVs tend to be more expensive to insure than a conventional car.

Whenever I have charged the car there doesn't appear to be any sign of a light on the MG badge, which I have seen mentioned on the previous version. Likewise I can find no reference to a light in the charging flap in the...

    Full beam head lamp flash sticks!

    Full beam head lamp sticking has been mentioned in another thread and I did not wish to high jack their question. When I use the stalk to flash my headlamps they tend to stick on full beam and have to be activated again to release - or basically fiddle around until they go to dipped. This is...

    Headlights

    The headlights on our new mg5 lr were crap to say the least. Replaced them with Osram nightbreakers. When checking them against the garage door I discovered they weren't aligned properly, sorted them out and now they are pretty good. My point is I'm not convinced they left China set up right or...
