    Charging at Heythrop Park Hotel, Oxfordshire

    I’ve just checked back, when I was there last time, 58p kWh so not too bad, they are of course destination chargers not DC rapids. There are plenty of them so plug in when you get there, leave it overnight and you’re good for the next day. Highly recommended one of the river cruises in Oxford...

    Yes you do need the app. Brilliant place, nice setup with chargers, the app is nothing to fear and works ok (well it does for me #8o) J

    "I'm in a bit of a fix at the moment"

    My gut feeling is that Tesla Model 3 will be the weapon of choice. Engineers dont travel far, within 40 miles of our base so range isnt really a problem and its a bit of a reward to my guys. Tesla do put on a good show for sure, I had the pleasure of driving a model Y performance around major UK...

    "I'm in a bit of a fix at the moment"

    I was looking around September time last year to purchase 4 x MG4 for my IT business engineers. Then all of this kicked off so I'm looking elsewhere, Tesla are certainly chasing the business market even though were only a small business. Ford used to be really goo, they had a dept for business...

    "I'm in a bit of a fix at the moment"

    Well at long last I have the letter from MG UK confirming my warranty is still valid. Phew, that took some doing, I wont be in any hurry to have another MG after this one, roll on August 2027, it can go back then. Thank you to everyone who offered advice / sympathy etc, it was appreciated but...

    "I'm in a bit of a fix at the moment"

    Youre probably right and it may well work with MGUK but frankly, I cant be bothered, I wont be losing out because I will simply start legal proceedings against the dealer where my contract is. In the worse case scenario they take the car back and I then purchase my Kia or Tesla depending which...

    "I'm in a bit of a fix at the moment"

    Me neither, I firmly believe a salesman can sell one car, service and support sell subsequent ones. From what i have seen, MGUK dealer support is awful, why anyone would want to represent MG I dont know. No because essentially my contract is with the dealer and they seemingly have had the rug...

    "I'm in a bit of a fix at the moment"

    One thing for sure, don't expect anything helpful from MGUK to avoid disappointment. I was very happy with the car, the service contract, the warranty, gap insurance, finance etc and through no fault of my own end up in this dreadful situation.

    "I'm in a bit of a fix at the moment"

    They have absolutely lost any future custom from me. I haven't made it clear to them yet due to potential legal action from me. And so it goes on.........

    Trying to reject vehicle - any advice please? And should I get another one?

    MG UK are adept at finding ways out of warranty claims, my case which youve seen is a prime example. The dealer reached agreement with MG that if they fully serviced the car again that MG would confirm to me in writing that my warranty is still valid. Guess what...... they wont! Do you have it...

    "I'm in a bit of a fix at the moment"

    It seems MGUK are reluctant to give me the reassurance in writing that my warranty is still valid. I feel a legal battle coming on. J

    "I'm in a bit of a fix at the moment"

    Well this ridiculous situation is still ongoing. I took the car back to the dealer before Christmas, they did a full service as per MG schedule and also did a recall apparently. I waited for written confirmation from MG UK with regards to the warranty and have heard nothing. I contacted the...

    Trying to reject vehicle - any advice please? And should I get another one?

    It sounds like a dreadful situation and one that I'm unwittingly getting dragged into too. I would suggest you contact citizens advice and/or trading standards to see what your options are. Here's my wonderful ongoing situation:- "I'm in a bit of a fix at the moment"

    Is MG warranty a sham?

    Remember, MGUK is not above the law, you have rights as a consumer and no matter what MG would prefer or what they put in writing, if the item is faulty and that item should be expected to last longer than it has you can take them to court. I've done it twice, once with Ford and once with...

    Is my idea crazy or should I pursue it further?

    Yes they do, it's also the reason why so many solar installers fit an inverter of this size to avoid the G99 application which leads to very poor installation performance. Switch the kettle and the toaster on for breakfast6 and you're importing from the grid Aye, I'm sure there will be a...
