I’m hoping to die peacefully in my sleep, like my Dad did. Not screaming out in terror, like his passengers. Thanks to Bob Monkhouse for that little gem.

Schlub! What an appropriate word. Yiddish is a very onomatopoeic language! I shall use 'schlub' a lot more.

Yes. It finally happened. I'd pulled up (Normal mode) at a red light in the left lane of two. After a while, something black with tinted windows and a throaty exhaust pulled up to my right. I didn't make eye contact, as he/she (it was a he, let's not deny it) revved, and started to slide...

OK, so here's the scenario: I'm on the 'Octopus Go' tariff, (which gives cheaper rate electricity between 0030 and 0430) and I have a waEV EV1 charger (waEV-charge EV1 | waEV-charge | EV Charging Solutions for Housebuilders, Developers, Landlords & Homeowners). The charger has a 'smart...

Mrs OfClayton and myself have had ten happy years. Our 35th Wedding Anniversary is in July.

Yep. Two Xs in mine as well (I didn’t have the opportunity to choose). I bought it from a Yorkshire garage, so maybe Yorkshire registrations begin YX?

My wife is probably the main driver of our xpower. I suggested to her that she drives in ECO all the time. Even then, it’s still somewhat pokey. I think she’d ban me from driving it if she knew just how quick it is in SPORT. She must never find out!

Sadly, tapping didn’t work. Never mind. I can live with it until the first service. Thanks for all your inputs.

Interestingly enough, a ‘Meg’ (or sometimes a ‘Meggie’) is how people from Cleethorpes refer to themselves. Useless information for anyone outside North East Lincolnshire, but it’s my gift to you.

The main question raised by all this is: Why is the app icon for 'Electric Power Steering' displayed as a rocket?

Unfortunately, mine doesn't have the handle. It just displays the 50%. It does this in any state: door open/closed, discharging, etc. No amount of persuasion will allow me to move/drag it.

V2L adapter now works fine. Only question remaining is how to change the limit on the discharge screen. Mine is set to 50%, and there would seem to be no way of adjusting it.

Could I ask if having the MG4 serviced at a main dealer is necessary to maintain the 7-year warranty? If it's just pollen filters and so on, my local garage would be more than capable, I'm sure.

Agreed, it will be something that I rarely use. We do get quite a few power outages out here in the sticks, but they rarely last any length of time. However, I may be tempted to treat myself to a little hand held vacuum cleaner to use while charging. It'll save me carrying the big Dyson out...

Just stumbled across this on Youtube. All very easy, and will save me about 5 months road tax. Apologies if it has already been posted elsewhere on this forum.
