    Home wall chargers

    A few on this forum warned me off buying a Morec charger , did I listen, no. I apologise you were all right. I recently had delivered a 22kw 3phase EVSE , arrived 11am , fully tested by 5pm . Did not work, power going into the unit on all 3 phases , no pops , no clicks, no smoke , no tripping...

    UK domestic socket charging

    Young man, newish car, first car, good car, with my first car there was not any spare daylight left and beyond when I wasn't using it . How times have changed ???? :unsure: :LOL: and I got mine a few years after the massive fuel price increases of the early 70s. 🤷‍♂️ constrained by apprentice...

    MG4 Rumbling and vibration

    I wonder if budget tyres are heavier and have more rotational mass especially as they may need more balance weights. ???? :geek: to even out the possible manufacturing anomalies. The extra centrifugal force then overcoming the famous built in characteristics.:unsure:

    UK domestic socket charging

    Having a dedicated circuit ending in a commando socket with a commando plug increases the surface area of the contact points and reduces the heat build up of the smaller contact points of a standard plug/socket arrangement. These could be considered illegal because the commando socket is not...

    Unintended acceleration in 2024 MG4 Trophy LR

    You have only been driving 37% of the years I have so you have got plenty of time to catch up. At your age I could not believe that all the old age gits wearing glasses should be allowed to share the roads with me ! I guess that early appeal of Logan's Run has faded now muscles are aching and...

    Unintended acceleration in 2024 MG4 Trophy LR

    I did the same this morning , again pulling into a parking spot with right lock on, slightly distracted by another car leaving about 4 spots down . I went for the foot brake to scrub off the last bit of movement and hit the accelerator instead with quite a bit of force because I was expecting...

    Clocks going back to GMT

    My first car ( Morris Marina ) had an analogue clock which never worked. It did however have an aerial in the roof above the windscreen which could be used as a sundial. That was always a bugger to change twice a year!!!! 🤪

    Should I be worried about the number of used MG4s around at the moment?

    Completely agree with that sentiment , the OP did mention about concerns about low mileage cars and presumably a connection as to why there are quite a few available. Many reasons why of course , too many to list, but the obvious first thought is " don't like it, dump it" to which the OP...

    Should I be worried about the number of used MG4s around at the moment?

    I think if you were to pick on any car that's been around since 2022 and scan its 2nd hand adverts there will be a close match in low/high mileage models available. In France there are lots of 2nd hand MG4s available , but we at the time got generous grants for electric cars but we had to keep...

    Is rust a problem on early MG5s?

    From my metallurgy classes back in the 70s a lecturer informed us that BL cars rusted quickly because they wanted steel with a 4% addition of aluminium. This was more ductile and easier to form and so the pressing moulds lasted longer . This aluminium lay at the grain boundaries of the steel and...

    Most useful MG4 accessory?

    Because the rear compartment is quite dark its handy to know what the dogs are up to when you take them out dogging. ( I might need to re-read that through , and thanks to Peter Kay. )

    MG - The UK's No1 Chinese Car Company (Auto Express)

    That's one hell of a pile up you've got there! all caused by a tiny full stop. No excuse for the four professional drivers at the rear of the queue. Or is it an advertisement by NCAP for the successful use of AEB? :p

    Archev's adventures in the Berlingo

    Did you never have the bits of stiff cardboard (plastic from a washing up bottle ) sellotaped to the forks and click/clacking on the spokes ? as well as a dinger dong , mainly for " look at me " rather than pedestrian warning. Nice touch with the gloves though! On my first motorbike ( 2 stroke...

    Archev's adventures in the Berlingo

    All my previous motorbikes had folding footrests with hero blobs , but none of my pushbikes ever did. What sort of lean angles are you achieving in Scotland on your push irons ? mountain road hairpin bends ? Possible fortune to be made in Youtube revenues for video evidence of sparking pedals on...
