    Winter Tales

    The recent snow got me thinking. What was the worst winter I have ever known? Now, I'm a relative youngster (b1966), so wouldn't know the winters of 46-7 or 62-3, but I do very well remember being stuck at boarding school in December 1981 in West Yorks and not being able to get home. Mum...

    MG EV Prices

    I had a quick look around and couldn't see anywhere obvious to put a thread on a discussion of prices of all nearly new and second hand MG EVs, but if there is somewhere better, could a mod move it for me, please? I have found an MG S5 for sale from an MG dealer, 75 plate, with 10 miles, for...

    Broken Parcel Shelf 😢

    Not pointing any fingers ( :D ), but Mrs S has managed to break off one of lugs that locks in to keep the shelf hinged in place, IYKWIM. Having looked at the cost of these, both new and second hand, they are very expensive. Does anyone have any experience of gluing these rigid plastics and...

    Ohme Home Pro Hiccup?

    Getting ready for middle lad and Mrs S to come home. Middle lad comes in first. Then Mrs S comes in. I'm cooking her dinner, fried salmon on the gas hob, reheated veggie curry in the meecro-warvay. I look down at the IHD3 for the smart meter and it's red. Sometimes when the lad gets in, it...

    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...
