I just can’t get on with banana skins either!

We have a (blue lidded) wheelie bin for recycling glass, cans, paper, cardboard, plastic, foil and tetrapaks. A black bin for non-recyclables, and a brown bin for garden waste, (optional and by yearly subscription). And, of course, the food waste caddy, which I no longer use. I recycle ‘soft and...

We have had food waste collection for years, and I did use the service for some time. The special food waste caddy liners that were biodegradable, (either starch based or paper) invariably didn’t last the full week, so I generally needed to load one bag into another. A waste of money really. I...

@Alun26 - why not just reverse the car in?

@T1 Terry Good heavens - that’s absolutely immense!

We must have!

@Data - I really appreciate all your words of wisdom re. the scanner/apps etc., but I have sent it back to Amazon. It’s just too much of a faff! I gave up.

@decrep - weirdly, I did have to wipe over the reg plates on my MG yesterday, as they (like the rest of my car) were really filthy. And I was in a hurry…….

@decrep - that’s totally bizarre! I used to drive our 9m tag axle motorhome (and thoroughly enjoyed so doing), but sadly no personalised reg plate. No fare paying passengers though. And definitely no banjo!!!

@Data I tried these 2, followed all the instructions, several times, but couldn’t get a green light connection at all. Thank you for your help, but I’m just not up to trying yet again!

I have tried several times to get the Vgate iCar Pro to connect to the car/app, but either the dongle is faulty or there’s an issue with the socket in the car. I only get a solid red light, and intermittent green and blue when plugging/unplugging. It’s going back to Amazon as ‘faulty’...

@KafueRob - Don’t be tempted to try the ‘unbind’ option a second time. Apparently, that will set it back to the full 72 hours again!

@Data Haha - you appear to have more confidence in my abilities than I have! However, in a bid to impress my grandchildren with my technical knowledge, but mainly to satisfy myself that my HV battery isn’t about to die prematurely, I have invested in the OBD scanner you mentioned, the ‘4’...

@Data - thanks! I thought it couldn’t be as simple as just needing a particular app on its own. I have doubts as to my ability to ‘read’ data from an OBD dongle, but perhaps I should do some research……

@AnaloguePete - can I ask which app tells you your battery SOH? I thought you needed an OBD thingy.

@Ian Key - maybe that is true for secondary schools, but primary schools are certainly very local and quite numerous where I live. The other reason for the much larger secondary schools is the enormous skill set required for the curriculum - many many more subjects than were taught when I was...

@T1 Terry A box? A whole box? What luxury!! We had to share a thimble with 3 other families…….

I agree with you @Gomev and @Alb - I don’t think my schools ever closed owing to weather conditions, and walking to and from school was perfectly normal. Health and safety regulations about classroom temperatures and the staffing ratios now mean that schools will announce closures if they...

@aleks57 You would need to get in contact with MG customer service and explain the issues that you are having with your infotainment. They can then issue an email in your name, to authorise your dealership to carry out the update.

@rcworcs The email I had from MG seems to suggest that updates should be done as part of a service, so I am not expecting to pay. However, as my car was serviced in November, and did not receive the infotainment update despite my request, I’m not confident of getting it done until the next...
