    Winter Tyres

    From what I understand there won't be a choice in most cases, your size will be available either in non sport or sport.

    Winter Tyres

    No way I would just have 1 all season tyre on a car. Probably be OK in normal conditions, but in snow you would have grip on just 1 wheel, try and brake with that and it would probably spin you round.

    Slightly pathetic data limitation - 1GB, MG4 Trophy

    The car hasn't got google maps, it's a system with the map data stored in the car, so no data would be used. Weather would use a tiny amount of data as would traffic data. So I can't see where 1GB would go. I included my phone just as a comparison of data use.

    Slightly pathetic data limitation - 1GB, MG4 Trophy

    To be honest 1GB seems plenty to me, never had an issue. I can't think of anything that would use a lot of data in the car. As a comparison I have just checked my phone and last month I used 2.5GB of mobile data, that's Spotify, Google maps, Whatsapp. A lot of the Spotify and maps would be...

    Home wall chargers

    I've always been able to set the lights to zero, I want it so I can set it and it only comes on when I connect the car.

    The Problems with PCP

    It's a clever tool to keep you buying new cars forever, as you never own the thing unless you can find a massive lump sum at the end.

    Octopus Go Intelligent new 6 hours charging limit

    I found the thread, seems everyone has their own opinion on what is happening and what to do. I don't worry about it, just charge it fully every so often.

    Octopus Go Intelligent new 6 hours charging limit

    I'm pretty sure you have to go 100% to get a balance charge, don't think it happens at 80%.

    Octopus Go Intelligent new 6 hours charging limit

    I've been on this for nearly 9 months and it's never been exact, but this makes sense as it doesn't know the cars state of charge so it has to estimate how much to add. I leave the car at 100%, and in the end it doesn't matter if it is a couple of percent either way, it isn't going to cause any...

    Google and Apple maps crazy directions

    I didn't know until a couple of years ago that when you connect your phone it uses the cars GPS antenna, so it doesn't matter where it is in the car.

    Tax Code for Pensioners.

    I think not freezing the tax free threshold for all these years would have been the answer. Can't support something that asks to double the threshold for one group of people.

    Octopus Go Intelligent new 6 hours charging limit

    I've been on the tariff for 8 months and it has always been like this, get lots of slots right next to each other, and some very short ones, if you keep checking the app you can see them changing. The only thing I've noticed is that sometimes I think it confuses itself, as I will ask for 20%...

    Octopus Go Intelligent new 6 hours charging limit

    Yes, that's how it is every time, the schedule it shows at the start isn't what you get.

    Octopus Go Intelligent new 6 hours charging limit

    The schedule is based on wholesale price, demand and what you have asked for, so it is different every night, not sure what you mean by latest changes, there hasn't been any changes.

    Locking Driver Seat Belt

    Amazon have been found selling Smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in the UK that don't meet safety standards. I'm not saying that seatbelt extenders are bad, but one from some unknown brand that has no mention of safety standards and has a review showing a snapped metal part would worry me.

    Locking Driver Seat Belt

    An emergency stop is very different to hitting something at speed. It just worries me that there is no mention of any test that they have passed.

    Locking Driver Seat Belt

    That's OK, but you are only likely to find out in an accident, I wouldn't risk it.

    Locking Driver Seat Belt

    I don't think I would recommend using these buckle extenders off Amazon on the open road, was just reading and couldn't see any mention of safety testing and one of the first review pictures shows the metal snapped.
