    New MG owner

    I've never had a problem with the ADAS, apart from the occasional phantom brake, which all ADAS suffer from.

    Archev's adventures in the Berlingo

    That reminds me when I bought my first hybrid, a Prius, which led me to EV's. I had a check list to go through for all the usual mechanical bits, and told my son, (who would have been 12 at the time) to check out the infotainment screen. I remember the guy who was selling it was wide eyed and...

    Archev's adventures in the Berlingo

    None of us MG drivers do. :ROFLMAO: (Even though it was promised)

    MG ZS EV 2024 charging port door won't open (dead 12V)

    I was told this when I asked about the Tesla fix. A tech has to monitor the process. They even wanted me to pay for a second tech if I had it done at the 2 year service. I think you can probably guess my reply.

    They still don't get it! (EV sceptics)

    Ben Sullins is a great FUD buster. A data analyst who decries the non factual based opinions with real data, but also agrees with the parts which can be backed up with data.

    They still don't get it! (EV sceptics)

    Sabine Hossenfelder seems to reinforce the British idea that Germans don't have a sense of humour (apologies to any German members on here). I think she makes humorous comments, but it's difficult to tell. She annoys the heck out of me too.

    Octopus and BYD announce UK's first electric car bundle with free charging

    Although, many home batteries have 3kW inverters.

    Bias aside, are MG Cars getting more reliable?

    I think it's the after sales service rather than the cars themselves. There may have been some quality issues during the covid crisis and microchip shortages. Apart from 2 rear suspension springs, mines been fine.

    A proper TV program about EVs tonight on Channel 5.

    You didn't miss much. Lots of urban myths repeated. A pile up in America caused by idiots not leaving enough stopping distance from the car in front, blamed on a Tesla slowing and coming to a stop, as did the car behind it. It seemed like every good point about EV's, they tried even harder to...

    I did say I was being generous. :LOL:

    A proper TV program about EVs tonight on Channel 5.

    Well, not as bad as I was expecting. It started off very biased and anti EV, with no comparison data with ICE vehicles. The section on the weight of EV's going through crash barriers annoyed me because there was no mention of how an 18 wheeler would fare. However, some valid points at the end on...

    Octopus and BYD announce UK's first electric car bundle with free charging

    This dropped into my email inbox: The EVUK team had the pleasure of attending the Octopus Energy Tech Summit on Monday, where our very own Quentin Willson took centre stage alongside Greg Jackson, Founder & CEO of Octopus Energy and motoring legend Damon Hill. During the event, Greg announced...

    Which EV, new or used, would you change your MG for?

    Ah, but the badge is different. :LOL:

    Looking help and advise !

    Looks like you need a new 12 volt battery. If it's under 12 months old, the 12V will still be in warranty.

    We shouldn't install anything on anybody. It should be for the people to decide for themselves.

    Social Media influencers are useful idiots but......

    1976, the series "Harry's Game". "One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter." (Cracking theme tune by Clannad) It depends on who writes the history books, or in China, who rewrites, edits and censors the history books.

    Try Motorway, they will probably give you a better price than the dealership.

    I have "no beef" with the Chinese people, in fact, I feel sorry for them, having to live under an authoritative regime. China 2024 The government continued to enforce repressive laws and policies that restricted the right to freedom of expression and other human rights. Human rights defenders...
