    Zs ev LR arrived finally

    I think if you rotate a hand above your head anti-clockwise, while rubbing your other hand clockwise on your stomach, LKA might stay off. Or was it clockwise above your head and.........

    Spam phone calls after ordering accessories from Ali Express

    I always considered it'd be my time I'm wasting if I were to string them along rather than theirs. At least they are getting paid for it (presumably!!) Unfortunately the mobile operators and landline operators make a lot of money from these calls therefore are not worried about doing much about it.

    Lane Keep Assist feature

    Robert Llewellyn, of the Fully Charged Show, is currently driving an MG4, He drove it to and from the Harrogate Live show and commented about the agressive LKA in one of the talks. I drive an MG ZS EV Trophy Connect and its LKA has been very good while driving over the last 3 months. However...

    Asda free charging

    Did you know that if the government charged the same rate of tax to non-home-chargers, Gridserve would only cost £0.60 per kW/hr. That's because VAT is only 5% for home charging but 20% for all others. That's a quarter of the countrys population, who cannot have home chargers, dissadvantaged...

    First long trip for MG ZS EV Trophy (if I get it)

    Hi Waterstoney, The trip was very good. I had charged to 100% the night before and my GOM was showing 287 miles. Of course with 259 miles to travel I knew I would have to charge somewhere so I had enough charge for my stay in Harrogate. I was able to use adaptive cruise control for the first...

    Spam phone calls after ordering accessories from Ali Express

    I once turned away from the phone and said 'OK start the trace'. By the time I put the phone back to my ear they had hung up.

    Spam phone calls after ordering accessories from Ali Express

    Over 2 years ago I stopped using my landline as every call was spam. Its now totally disconnected from the socket. I only use my mobile for daily calls and all my friends and family have that number. I wouldn't be too quick to blame aliexpress or any other retailer as most scams are now done...

    The car as a person - or possibly a pet

    Mine has been named by my daughter and grandchildren. Not a pet but another entity close to my youth and learning in life and business, It's called 'Enterprise' after Star Trek, all eras as I'm that old.... It even greets me in the morning with 'The Bridge is yours Captain'. I have even had...

    Fasten seat belt warning

    I might be totally wrong but don't you have to put your foot back on the brake if you come off of parking brake? I think the car will only move again when drive is properly engaged. I think thats to stop someone accidentally turning the brake off and the car unaceptably moving forward. Although...

    Charging at motorway service stations

    Gomev I watched that video a few days ago and was pleased to hear some good news in it about the recent growth of EV chargers in our towns etc. I have definately experienced this in my home town in Somerset. From no rapid chargers at the start of April to 4 now, and multiple 7kW chargers...

    New iSmart App? Better or worse?

    Lovely design SD43. How about having a go at the infotainment screen and GOM. My ZS EV has the smallest lettering for miles remaining or percentage of battery especially when you are using Android Auto or I guess CarPlay. Its about 6pts which is difficult enough to read in broad daylight when...

    Charging at motorway service stations

    I have just watched a facinating video from Fully Charged show with Quintin Wison. Although this was from 7 months ago it backs up why I originally wrote this thread. Back to the original topic of my thread what do others think of the state of Service area charging in the whole UK? Have I...

    Charging at motorway service stations

    I look forward to the government achieving the aimed for deadline in 6 months. I mean surely it takes no time for major infrastructure to be built? I mean its only like building a small town. How long could it take? I will continue to campaign on ensuring that barriers to EV adoption are...

    MG ZS EV Charging using Tesla Supercharger

    Sadly the one Tesla charger station open to non-tesla cars I tried was unable to recognise my MG ZS EV Trophy Connect. That was near Harrogate on the Leeds Road. I specifically tried it as I havn't one near where I live and other members expressed interest.
