Before my MG4, I had a BMW 135... my other half, coming from a manual Fiesta, couldn't get on with the auto 3-litre. But she loves the MG - 'completely different, so I can start from scratch!'
Love the colour of your new BMW - it's at least 20K more than the MG, isn't it?
Am I misunderstanding ACC? With good old-fashioned CC, you set the speed of your car, and it will maintain that speed no matter what happens in front of you. With ACC, the car maintains the distance to the car in front, so if it slows (like, maybe because traffic ahead is slowing), then your car...
On the way home, we called at Exeter Services - the chargers were busy, but there were plenty of spaces. We had about 30% in the battery, and ZapMap was suggesting we stopped at Leigh Delamare to top up. But having experienced out-of-use chargers on the way down, I thought it best to charge when...
In the end, we used the M4/M5broute ? I didn’t want to wait til the last moment, so instead of Cullompton, I nipped into Sedgemoor Services. The chargers there were all u/s except for one, and a guy was charging from 1% ? so was going to be hours. There were several very irate drivers around...
Brilliant info, DevonMG4! I’ve copied it into a Word doc, and will refer to it on the way down.
I know the Farm Shop off J15, a good place to stop (the Farm Shop has great pies!)
I ordered mine from carmats.co.uk - they are brilliant, you can personalise your mats with text woven into the mat :cool: a full set of fronts and rears, edged in any colour you like, plus text, just £60.
The Car Search drop-down menu doesn't include MG4, but you can Search on your reg number
The MacMaster... oh, my Word, I didn't know about him until your post, Rolfe. Now I've just watched a few minutes of one his anti-EV rants, and I shall never be able to get rid of his awful Channel from my mind! I feel sorry for his neighbours, can you imagine having to listen to his tedious...
But I'm leaving Maidenhead, just 14 miles away from the Reading Services, with 100% charge. :unsure: ..
The Lifton Chargers look interesting, thanks for the info.
I live in Altwood Road ?
Thanks for the replies, and thanks for doing my work in the apps for me ?
I’m minded to not go down the M-ways, as I find it physically impossible for me to drive at 60 ?, so I’m going to use A-roads.
I’m driving to Cornwall on Friday, from Maidenhead, in Berkshire in my Trophy LR, which I’ll charge up to 100% before leaving home. So, about 4 hours, via either the M4/M5, or M3/A303 to Exeter, then A38 to Plymouth, and on to Looe.
Does anyone have any hints/tips to share about charging points...
This is the first car I still have a picture of - it was a good car, I gave it to a nephew, who ran it up to well over 100,000 :)
A couple of random Beemers I had just before the Mini Cooper
This is fantasy-land... but still enjoy them (yes, I'm Schumy's Dad!)
This was after a...
A few random cars from my life... more than one post, so hope you don't get annoyed with me!
I loved this little beauty!
I swapped it for this M135, which I swapped later for my MG4
It took a while to kick in for me, maybe a week or two...
The thing that took me quite a while to get my head around was that you don't set, in the app, the State of Charge you want to end up with... you set the percentage that will achieve the SOC given your current SOC. So, if your battery is...
Have you watched Garmor's link just above your post? It tells you pretty much what you need to know - except that you don't pronounce 'Ohme' as 'Homey' :rolleyes:
In answer to your 1)... yes, I'm very happy, just £4 or £5 for a full tank! Plus, I can run the dishwasher at the cheap rate at the...
