    Are body shops scared of EVs ?

    Yep very few about now. I know there’s a few places around the U.K. that do these conversions but we have a company opening here this year ( I believe in August ) that converts older cars to electric Costs big money but it’ll still be great to see some older classics on the roads again, just...

    Is it just me?

    I once took my Audi in for a service I left my wife & daughter in the car. How disappointed was I when I picked the car up to find them both still sitting there ?

    Are body shops scared of EVs ?

    I sat here & said that out loud “Fred in his shed” I laugh at anything I do ?? I know there’s some right dodgy garages but there’s still a few smaller decent ones about who do good work & fair prices so it will be a shame to see these disappear over time.

    Are body shops scared of EVs ?

    This is my first EV ( no regrets at all making the switch from ICE ) but until a few months back when I picked it up I never really looked into what happens behind the scenes when it comes to servicing, bodywork repairs. Watching a few videos, the training involved is long & costly Garages...

    My 8 year old grandson told me this … What do you call a fly without wings? A Walk ?

    What colour did you choose?

    It was the orange that caught my eye first but the blue would have been my choice. But my wife stepped in & said the Camden Grey was for us ? I do like the Camden Grey though especially when it’s washed & waxed

    Are body shops scared of EVs ?

    Whether it be a garage, body shop, don’t mechanics etc have to have extra training & qualifications to work on electric vehicles. So if it’s a smaller garage would they even bother? If you search on Google, now this might have changed since but it was reported EVs that have even minor bumps are...

    MG Paint Colours

    I saw this posted elsewhere. I don’t believe yellow is sold in any country ( I could be wrong ) ? I quite like it though & think it would work especially well on the X Power models

    EV opposition in the media is ramping up

    So you are actually telling me it doesn’t have a 5G tracker? So the hat, gloves & socks I made out of tinfoil I can take off now? I’m trusting you on this ?? Social media can be a hostile place, I miss the days where you could have a difference of opinion but the average person could just agree...

    EV opposition in the media is ramping up

    Today I thought I’d have a look on Twitter ( X ) first time in a few months. Shortly after I was reminded why I stopped going on it. Now I know it’s not everyone but bloody hell, there’s some real pillocks on there. There was an article about India & how by 2030 their aim is for 30-40% of...

    Rear lights condensing on MG4 SE

    Check this thread here Quite common it seems & most say it is normal Few days back it’s the first time I’ve noticed a little build up on mine, it was after washing & drying the car off. I suspect once the weather here in U.K. warms up a bit it won’t be a problem but I will keep my eye on...

    Poor cross wind performance

    I thought it would be a long shot buddy lol Again this might be a long shot but have you checked under the car. Now this is my first EV, only had it a few months but I have read people having issues with the under tray, bulges appearing So my thought is, if it was hanging slightly, wind gets...

    Poor cross wind performance

    I know you said it only does it when windy or passing lorries so I’m probably way off here but, Do you have Lane Keep Assist on? I switch mine off now every time I get in the car but a lot of people have had some “oh crap” experiences with it, all of a sudden making the car turn slightly but...

    Poor cross wind performance

    I got to be honest, I actually think my MG4 sits better on the road than a lot of previous cars I’ve had. I’ve taken it a few times along Military Road, one of the faster roads here on the island & very open ( see pictures below ) so it can get pretty windy & never felt it being blown around...

    Supagard forum discount

    I’ve used the Turtlewax Inside Job. Does clean it nice, leaves a nice lemon type smell & it’s suppose to reduce dust build up & also protects against UV light But I’m placing an order today for some Supaguard products, dashboard enhancer, tyre dressing & bird poo & bug remover. This I’ll...

    Shell to close 1000 petrol stations.

    I’m just hoping there will be a time limit on your charging. That way the wife have to get a move on & not visiting the same shopping aisles multiple times ??

    First long trip, wow

    We are going to visit one of my wife’s sisters in Truro/Cornwall in July From the Isle of Wight it’s just over 200 miles so I’ll be interested to see what I average. We will leave with 100% battery & Id imagine it should make the journey without needing to charge especially as the weather...

    Shell to close 1000 petrol stations.

    That surprises me. I thought they would be a little cheaper than most. In fact the Mer chargers I regularly use are 3p/kWh cheaper. Well I’m having to rely now on public chargers until we move home next February & I can then have a home charger. But even using public chargers, I’m still saving...

    Bit Of Fun On A Tuesday.

    I think I’ll keep quiet. My Mind is in shock just imagining what you would have said ? On a serious note folks. I mentioned about travelling to the Isle of Wight a few posts back Now the resident friends/family discount are not always available but if they were it can give you up to 20% off...
