    New car payment upfront without viewing

    We had to pay up front ( a week ) , for the funds to clear , but at least we could view/ inspect but not drive the car beforehand. We also had to show valid insurance specific to the vehicle which was a little awkward as the insurance covered our old trade in up to 12 noon then changed to the MG...

    Will Caliban start on Monday morning?

    Its a bit late now , but maybe for one of your future trips. There are solar panel 12V trickle chargers on Amazon etc etc for around 30 quid which if they do what they say on the box would give peace of mind. I do not have one so I cannot give an opinion as to their effectiveness but maybe...

    I would be more worried about your Hotels draconian parking policies should you overstay your allotted allowance!

    Unintended acceleration in 2024 MG4 Trophy LR

    In that recovery operation the AA man was driving the car , a mechanic not necessarily a professional driver and he accepted ( for whatever reason ) the blame. I would imagine its AA policy for their staff to wear safety shoes and no doubt he would be used to driving a Transit van ( or other )...

    MG4 Battery Health

    I think that knowing your SOH is interesting and have been trying ( as a lot have ) to work out its value mathematically from the data we have readily available. My last set of data , and depending on how you compute them in different formats came up with , 91%...95%...97% interesting but about...

    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...
