Now I totally understand why your wife has priority for the garage space. If that was my car it would get priority over any new car I had, gorgeous VW Bettle ? I’ve been using the micro fibre towels for a while now, I’m still amazed how much water they pick up without you having to rinse them...

I had similar happen to me but for the life of me I can’t remember what the lights were set to when I got out & locked the car but when I got back in, switched the lights to auto ( so you see Auto On on screen ) got back out, locked the car & lights turned off If it’s still happening I’d...

I prefer as much control over a car as possible so like you I turn off as many assists as I can. I’m all for technology moving forward if it makes things easier, safer etc but when it doesn’t work it can cause problems. & if the day comes I have to rely on this technology to drive a car...

I’ve posted before, the last 6-12 months I’ve seen a lot more EVs here on the Isle of Wight. Of course you always see what I call the “Hate Mob” on social media but I never get involved, there’s no discussion or reasoning with some people. The friends & family that have been in mine all seem...

Another decent video below talking about this & other topics. There’s another video from the same guy I’ll try & find again where they had 20 batteries, run them through 500 cycles of fast charging them to 100%, draining them all the way down (I don’t know what batteries they were) with no...

Some really good videos posted yesterday in link below talking about this. Guy recommends not charging your car regularly to 100% & letting it sit for days before using it. https://www.mgevs.com/threads/batteries-in-evs-best-way-to-look-after-them.16123/

100% agree, people will treat them no different to how they treat ICE cars It’s been said on these forums, how many people buy a new car whether it be petrol/diesel or an EV & even read the manual? How many have got the time, patience to follow every recommendation to the letter? I talked...

It sounds like a lot here like me enjoy cleaning their cars + I like to look after them & we spend a fortune on shampoos, waxes, ceramic sprays, glass sealants etc .. Does anyone remember back in your teenage years, Sunday morning ( if the weather was nice ) 2 buckets of hot water with Fairy...

Yep I’m all for being different but ……

I’m sitting in waiting for the wife & watched the first video. Best video I’ve seen talking about why it’s best to keep the battery under 80% ( not all of the time & not with all batteries ) & very interesting he says he thinks the accessory battery doesn’t get charged if the main traction...

I’ve had the odd rattle/vibration, not constantly but on the odd occasions. & I can see the black plastic in mine being quite marked up over the next year, just from cleaning alone Since I’ve owned cars that now a lot have centre screens, plastics I find ( link below ) these good for wiping...

100% agree I’ve used various forums over the years, some of them from the more prestige car makers let’s say & there’s some nightmare stories out there Not just cars though. I’ve been a member of an AV forum for years now, no different there, some complete horror stories. Over the years I’ve...

100% agree, seems odd The house my mum & dad had in London had a garage but there was only the garage door, no door at back of garage where you can walk straight into house so unless ( or vice versa ) people have their garage/car keys hanging up with a sign saying “CAR/GARAGE KEY” how do...

I was intrigued by this as well. Just done a quick Google search & this was first post & some replies to why a driveway could be cheaper than a garage ……. This is because: Many garages in older houses were designed for the smaller cars that were popular decades ago, and can be too small for...

Exactly the same as mine. Anything between 12.2 - 12.7V. Just checked it twice a few minutes apart & first it was 12.3V, then 12.5

I’d definitely get it checked just to make sure the cover/seal around the light are doing what they should Most cars I’ve had over the years have at one point had a bit of condensation /misting up but usually clear in the day especially with a bit of sun shining on it ( not much chance of sun...

Ok what’s parked in it? lol In February of 2025 we move into a new home, garage, driveway & as soon as we get there I’ll be putting new padlocks on & hiding the key ??

Funny thing is, on the day we were looking for a new car we were actually looking to get a new Ford Puma, it was only a Volcano Orange MG4 sitting in the showroom caught my eye, got talking to the dealer, arranged a test drive & I was sold Outside they also had the blue, grey ( which is ours...

I had a red non metallic Ford Kuga years back & always found a non metallic easier to keep clean. Wax/polish seemed to go on/off easier & I looked at your colour when choosing my MG + the Volcano Orange but the wife decided Camden Grey would suit us better ?

I have read stories of gritter lories doing quite a bit of damage to paintwork, headlights, even radiators but these I believe are extreme cases where the car has been following way too close or maybe going too fast with an oncoming gritter very close So I’d say it isn’t impossible but my main...
