    News on delivery of first Batch of IM5

    That's lovely! Our dealer put a red cloth over ours. Coincidentally, they told us it was the first MG4 with the rear wiper they'd sold.

    Mrs S took a better shot of the castle without all that hoarding.

    HELP with keyless start MG4, emergency please

    I don't drive but I have set up my phone with the app so I can unlock and lock the car with it. Also, I have set up the key. In doing this, I had to hold it up against the boss of the steering wheel. Once it was all set up, it worked fine. I can tap keyless start, then lean on the driver seat...

    First long road trip and other adventures.

    On one side of the Palace Green is Durham castle, which is a now student accommodation. You can visit, but only on booked guided tours and not on Sundays. Tucked in a corner was this little robin. I can't edit this picture, but if you zoom in, it's in the bottom right hand corner of the...

    First long road trip and other adventures.

    We drove to Durham this morning, but I insisted on dropping off here first: It says the angel of the North has 4 piles. I think if I'd been standing there years in the freezing cold, I'd have piles too. Then we carried on to Durham. We used the park and ride, which was very convenient...

    First long road trip and other adventures.

    Newcastlecastlekeep. Newcastlecastle. I had an excellent lesson from Mrs S about the history of the castles of Newcastle and that the old one was timber and demolished and the new one was built of stone hence it was called the new castle and that name stuck for the area. But I...

    First long road trip and other adventures.

    This is the Italian marble fireplace in the Drawing Room. It weighs 10 tonnes and was shipped up the North Sea to Amble. It was so heavy, it was rested on the crag to take the weight. It has been talked of as spectacular, sensational and sickening, depending on who is describing it! We...

    First long road trip and other adventures.

    Went to Cragside today. Cracking gaff! Built by William Armstrong, who was a scientist, inventor, industrial magnate, and philanthropist. He invented hydraulic systems and the Armstrong gun. He had the house kitted out with a hydraulic lift (still there, but now worked by electrickery)...

    What car did your MG4 replace?

    Our 23 LR rear wiper model replaced a 2009 Honda FRV 2.2 Diesel with 176k miles. The FRV was great when the kids were growing up and at home, needing ferrying around. The youngest plays rugby and we have either taken him or followed him all over the country! I used to joke that 171k of that...

    First long road trip and other adventures.

    We are based this time at the blue and red hotel chain near Newcastle, and tomorrow will be heading North again to Cragside and then will be having a mooch round Newcastle. We had another charge in Seahouses, this time using a 50 kW charger installed by the local council. I was dreading using...

    First long road trip and other adventures.

    We ended up only having time for the gardens, hence the distance shots of the castle from the bridge. Plus, the castle tickets were what my eldest (born 1999) would call a "rip".

    First long road trip and other adventures.

    Arrived at Alnwick Gardens. Bit of a climb, took a while, with rests. Then on the way out of the car park, there was a pond. Not full Autumn colours yet, but pretty nonetheless. On to Alnwick and Lion Bridge to catch some snaps from a distance of the castle. Then we went to...

    First long road trip and other adventures.

    Off to Alnwick Castle as I speak. Recently stopped at Leeming Bar for a break and a top up. Not sure how, but we got down to 50% having done 109 miles. Gridserve. Easy plug and play with a debit card, no faff. Left on 86%. Back on A1(M) now.

    Choosing A New Android Mobile

    Am currently chewing over the specs of a Poco F7. Larger screen, 6.83", larger battery, 6.5Ah. But Vs the Redmi Note 14 Pro+, the camera takes a big hit. Decisions, decisions! I think I will look on GSM Arena and use their phone finder to see what else is available.

    EV opposition in the media is ramping up

    Some use a heat sensor and two optical sensors. This combination has even greater resistance against false alarms.
