I suspect that when MG realised that the Auto Main Beam function had a mind of its own they set about trying to modify it. So they fitted low-strength headlamps that wouldn't dazzle oncoming drivers...

The only thing printed in the Daily Express that isn't false is the date...

When you are considering the price of a Skoda, remember to factor in the extra cost of a psychiatrist too...

OK, as requested, an update:- The various functions on the car that showed warning signs and/or didn't work all reverted to OK a day or two after the 12v battery disconnection. It's driven perfectly since then the only difference being that the trip counter had reset itself to zero with effect...

Indeed. But as an introduction to public chargers it hardly inspired confidence....

That one was the first public charger I ever used. The idea was to use it for 5-10 minutes; I thought a quick run down the road to check out how these things worked would be good as we'd planned a trip away. Not a good introduction to public charging. The charger in question's been listed as...

Thanks for that. Garage won't look at it until Feb 3rd as it's driveable and hence not as urgent as some folk...

Ah, a fellow Skoda sufferer. Weirdly, my previous car was a Skoda Yeti and getting shut of the wretched thing was one of the reasons for buying the MG5. One fault after another; I was at the dealer so often I could've gone to their works parties. If this is a teething problem, well, OK, I'll...

OK, completely happy with the MG5. 1,700 enjoyable miles until today. Parked at a friend's place, restarted and then it had a seizure... Screen went blank (noticed immediately as I had to reverse away from my parking spot) Rear radar failed Parking brake light failed And then a string of...

The last time I investigated getting a tow bar fitted to my car was when I had the misfortune to own a Skoda Yeti. I remember reaching such a point of teeth-grinding despair with the wretched thing that I asked the dealer if they could fit a tow bar. On the front...

Fair point, and I don't want that either, though in mitigation (a) I was simply quoting from the article and (b) the fact that Johnson lies when he promises us all the moon on a stick is hardly a matter of debate. However, whatever you think of it, the transition from ICE to EV will inevitably...

According to this headline article today. Lousy news by the sound of it. And it would mean that Johnson was lying when he "announced plans last month for a charging point to be required for every new or refurbished residential building from next year amid great fanfare, saying the regulations...

And after 2 more months I finally got to see a another MG5 (after mine and the one in October) - a white one in the Dog Falls car park, Glen Affric, Highland. So now I know there are at least three on the roads.

Because the government recently announced that GB plates are on the way out. The plan is to replace GB with UK and specifically ban plates saying CYM or SCO. Apparently this is because they've solved all the more important problems we face so this is now the top priority...

This is evidently some peculiar new usage of the word fun of which I was previously unaware.

If they go to the effort of sorting out the prices, then making an offer and presenting it to you "personally" it's because there's something in it for them. Not you.

If you truly believe that any government will reinstate a grant once they've removed it, then I have a bridge you might like to buy...

"Estimated current range 400m" probably means 400 metres.

A couple of other things to consider before you decide:- How likely are you to stay in the same job? Also, even if you do, as things get tougher economically (we are in for serious inflation next year and maybe beyond, etc.), they may start charging staff for electricity. Hell, some NHS Trusts...

Managed 3.1 miles/kWh early on Saturday morning. Inverness --> Aviemore --> Boat of Garten (37 miles). Pitch dark at first (days are short here) but wintry throughout, so lights on, heater on 25C, heated rear window at times, wipers on, demist at times, satnav on. Speed average 30mph - around...
