    Did you buy your EV to Save The Planet?

    The Stag didn't scream, more of a roar

    Common sense car reviewing

    Has anyone told Miles that the new presenters for Top Gear have already been cast? 😁

    Did you buy your EV to Save The Planet?

    I know what you mean about the sound. My brother used to let me borrow his Stag and the sound of the 3.0 litre V8 through the stainless steel exhausts with the roof down.....

    Wow

    I've found the TPS readings on both my old MG4 and the MGS5 settle down after a few months. It's almost as if they need running in. I've got an accurate pressure gauge which I check the pressures after using my tyre pump. I now know I have to put in a couple more psi than indicated on the pump.

    MGS5 in the wild?

    I had an MG4 with no rear wiper and it didn't need it. The rear projecting light bar and the rake of the back window must have killed the low pressure area behind the car.

    You need to turn it off in the sat-nav settings as well as the cae settings.

    Did you buy your EV to Save The Planet?

    It's interesting looking at what cars the contributors to this thread drive. Most of you have or have had an MG4. I wonder for how many of you the MG4 was your first EV?

    Poll: Why did you go EV?

    I had always promised myself my first new car when I retired and the government was pushing the green agenda and the sale of new ICE cars would be banned in 2030. Apart from being green and the performance of EVs, part of my thinking was that used EVs would be worth more than the equivalent...

    Not so great news for Tesla

    I'm with you and @Everest with that. I also run my hand over the surface to feel if the tread has any sharp edges to it indicating incorrect toe alignment. Another thing I learned from my father was, on a long journey when you stop for a break, put the back of your hand against all the tyres...

    Regen setting memory

    I might be just lazy or it's because I used to drive different busses with different driving characteristics but I leave the settings in their default option and adapt my driving style to suit.

    Wow

    The cars are delivered to the dealers with the tyres over inflated to stop flat spots forming while the cars are in transit or storage. Unfortunately a lot of dealers forget to lower the pressure back to what it should be during the PDI giving a choppy ride. Also they think because it's based...

    MG MSP Platform Battery

    That's how I read it especially as I have just done a 100% balance charge as I was expecting to take out an elderly friend for lunch and decrease the amount of charge. Unfortunately he had to cancel due to a gut infection so I won't be decreasing the amount of charge as quickly as intended.

    MG MSP Platform Battery

    I'm the same. AI's sources are only as reliable as the information it has scanned. The final note about leaving it at 100% in warm weather makes sense and implies that leaving it full charge occasionally won't have any noticeable detriment to the battery. I wonder if @Miles Roberts CG has...

    New food waste collection

    @salty is cutting down his options on where he's welcome in the UK. He's insulted Derbyshire and now Scotland. No wonder Yorkshire got pissed off with the Lancasterians in the War of the Roses

    Parasitic drain on 12V battery

    I have my dash-cam mounted on the passenger side and the view of the road isn't compromised. Just be careful where you mount it as it has to be out of the driver's line of sight.

    New food waste collection

    Derby City council started to charge for the garden waste collection bin and after a two years realised very few were paying for it, everybody else just put the garden waste into the general purpose bin. It's now a free fortnightly collection.
