    Choosing A New Android Mobile

    Anyone following my road trips will know I'm having a few issues with my Nokia XR20. I have CP, am clumsy and I drop it a lot. This phone has a metal case, Invictus glass and is built to a "military" standard, so can get wet, be dropped from a height etc... I drop it many times a day, often...

    Moving On From MG4

    As we are now into the last year of our lease, I am looking at what to get next. It has to be easier to get into and out of, have a much bigger boot and preferably, a little extra width in the back to carry 3 more comfortably. Mrs Secure is not so anti EV as she was, as long as she can get at...

    Charging MG Or Other PHEV And Other Q's

    We currently have a 23 MG4 on lease. It is nearly into its last year. We may well be looking at a hybrid (😪) next time. Hopefully the HS PHEV, or perhaps another. I did think here would be the best place to put this thread, but if the Mods want to move it, please do. My first question (at...

    Which Software Updates?: Second Service

    Wondering if any software updates will be carried out automatically? Should I ask for them? Infotainment I'm not too bothered about, but the safety stuff Which? magazine has been reporting on should be done, shouldn't it? Trophy LR 23 with rear wiper.

    First long road trip and other adventures.

    I have decided to edit the title of this thread to include other trips we have done which I will add when I can. I can't do them in chronological order as my brain doesn't support that format. ;) I can't possibly compete with the most excellent Archie, nor can I provide pictures with such...

    Theft Without Key

    The subject of this theft happens not to be an MG, but in theory it could happen to any car. What I'm wondering, as I don't quite understand this bit of kit, is this: Has information been gleaned from the key or the car? In other words, would putting your keys in a Faraday pouch or box make...

    First Wash In Three Months

    As some of you know, I smashed my ankle in on 23 November. Yesterday, I finally was able to wash it, albeit with not as much attention as I would have liked, as I could not grovel on the driveway! It was f-f-f-f-f-f filthy! One dirty side. I should have taken a shot of the rump as that was...

    Squeaky Bum Time!

    Dropping youngest lad back to Uni. Only a local trip, but we were low on juice. This is the lowest we have dared to go. Got back with this remaining: Excuse the shaking .... Funnily enough, there were no changes to the audio warnings to charge, nor any urgency. Never seen the green go amber...

    Old Map Book From My Grandad

    He gave me this in 1985, along with his AlfaSud 1.3. In 1985, the best quote I could get was in excess of £4000 from the AA (I think). So my Grandad pulled a few strings with his insurance company and paid the first year's insurance, but sadly the 'sud proved far too expensive for a 20 year old...

    Slamming On (Again)

    Mrs S has been gadding about while I've been holed up in the hospital. Heartless bugger. She even went out to one of our regular scofferies without me. Anyhow, she had another slam-on scare where His Lordship jammed on the anchors as he thought she was going to crash into some parked cars she...

    Makeshift Ambo!

    Went on an overnight trip to Lancashire to help parents in law empty their static. Got home fully loaded on Friday, but realised we needed some juice to get home from Warrington. So we went to BP in Birchwood. The forecourt was painted with very smooth paint and it had been raining. As I took...

    Reliable Lead For Android Auto

    I understand the USB A socket is the one to use for Android Auto, and I have tried several now that have failed to work. Can someone please provide a link for a lead that they can confirm works? I'm going loopy!

    Charging During The Day

    Have been using an Ohme Home Pro at home very successfully on Octopus Go. Recently, I have been advised to make changes in the app so that the system decides when to charge. All good so far. Until this morning, when I realised I had forgotten to charge the car overnight. Previously, we have...

    Shell Recharge

    Used this today in Cheltenham, a machine boasting "UP TO 175kW". Charged from 36 to 97%. Didn't see any prices on the machine or the screen. After we unplugged, I checked our account and there were two payments taken, the first one for £45.00 and the second for £35.48. I guess the first...

    Next Car?

    We are a year in to our three year lease, and I'm keeping an eye on what might be available in two years. Despite the Which? article dissing LK, I quite like our MG4. We knew the boot was small when we test drove it and I thought we could get by with it, but for the next car, I'd like a bigger...

    New HS

    Based on a Roewe RX5 with the possibility of an EV model, but I don't know if that's for the UK market. Anyone know any more?

    Car Registration Numbers

    I can remember all my previous registration numbers. The oldest car I owned was a 1975 Beetle. None of them contained a Z (which prior to the current reg system could have only appeared on Ireland registered cars). None of the cars I have owned have had an X in the reg. I didn't ever own a car...
