The famous one about workers shirking was in the 1970s at British Leyland where they discovered 14 men asleep in sleeping bags. A lad I used to know worked permanent night shifts at the carriage and wagon works in Derby so he could machine parts for his and other peoples Harley Davidsons. That...

Have you tried saying "Temperature 25" or whatever temperature you want?

You should check them every month when the tyres are cold and adjust the pressure accordingly. Having said that a drop of 5% isn't much of a problem unless you are doing a long journey and/or at motorway speeds. Some owners are running their cars at 35 psi to improve the ride comfort.

In heavy traffic on motorways and dual carriageways I prefer to use the speed limiter in manual mode so I can decide my following distance and if I want to quickly nip into the gap in the next lane.

Save even more of the planet and take a bus 🤣 PS. As a retired bus driver I haven't been on a bus for a number of years 😁

I can't believe I'm defending a car dealer but it's not all Stoneacre's fault. They have to do a diagnostic and send it to MG who will then approve the next step. Then after that course of action it's another diagnostic report to MG and so on. MG can take up to 48 hours to reply and then the...

I emailed MG customer service about this yesterday. Here is their reply: Good afternoon , Thank you for contacting MG Motors UK. I recommend contacting your local MG dealership to see if this is possible for you. I have included a link to our website that can help you locate your local MG...

Unfortunately E.on has changed it from midnight to 6am for new customers when on renewal for existing customers ☹️

Did you defrost by using the Front window icon or climate icon? The Front window icon turns the heat up to high. To stop the doors freezing shut rub all the rubber seals with GummiPflege. Also spray the door buttons and locks including the charging cover with silicone. https://amzn.eu/d/5n3T6lv

I'm with E.on and a low mileage owner too. Their Next Drive tariff provides cheap electricity from midnight to 6am for the whole house so I load shift by using the timer on the washing machine and bread machine etc. to run during those hours. Some of the EV tariffs require you to have a...

I know it was just an example 😁 I just tell Alexa to turn the TV off which it does then turns it off via a smart socket

Try unlocking and locking the car with the key fob then try again.

It sort of goes against their tough image when a bit of frosty weather gets them running indoors :ROFLMAO:

I wouldn't mind pay-per-mile if there was a foolproof and fair way of implementing it as long as they removed the ad-hoc road tax (or vehicle excise duty for the pedants 😁)

I agree. Sometimes you have to poke them with a big stick. When I had the charging problem with my MG4 it took several weeks/months of taking the car to the dealers for a few days and having it back while waiting for the next stage of the investigation to be approved. It wasn't until I...

If it was possible you'd have thought Tesla would have done it or any other manufacturer to save costs. I'm only guessing but it could be a safety thing so when the car is off the high voltage battery is isolated from the rest of the car. A bit like unplugging the TV at night.

That's good to know. Did they/will they do the re-calibration of the camera as well?

I think they were also getting a lot of aggro from not just EV owners but the car industry too. Ford boss Lisa Brankin had also waded in warning it wasn't the right time to tax EVs https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c5yp1ky55g1o

Heidi Alexander, the transport secretary, has ruled out a pay-per-mile scheme for the UK. Looks like the anti-ev press have jumped on a rumour and run with it. Mind you its taken the government long enough to either confirm or deny it.
