Not sure if this is allowed so mods feel free to delate. However, I came up with an idea about political positions (slightly related to what I do for a living teaching political philosophy), made a video about it and now I don't know what to do with it really. But I'm quite involved with this...

I wondered if it would be useful to have a wiki page with a table about the different software versions available for the MG4, both the Standard and Trophy versions. This might be a useful pointer to all the new owners who ask what software version they have etc. If it is a wiki then it can be...

I thought I was being clever getting a Tesla (UK) T-Smart immersion device to get hot water on a timer before we got our solar installed in 2023. Timer vs diversion The T-Smart was a lot cheaper than getting an eddi (or the more basic alternatives like the solar iboost). Around £150 vs. £300...

Based on questions from a friend and a recent post on here I've written a post on my personal blog about how to think about EV Range when buying a first EV. https://dougstaxappeal.blogspot.com/2025/01/how-should-you-think-about-ev-range.html Thoughts, comments and suggestions welcome!

I see Cleevely EV have added a new video about one of their MG5 fleet having its first MOT. Spoiler: seems to be in very good condition after a lot of miles! Reassuring for us MG owners. :)

Hello everyone, We've had a thing this week where one tyre deflates itself from 37 to 30 PSI (1.9 bar) pretty quickly, then stays there. Can't see any obvious issues so possibilities are: 1) an issue with the valve or 2) a really small hole that closes itself up once the tyre deflates to...

Good news for those of us without Intelligent Octopus Compatible chargers! They have discontinued the 'Octopus lite' tariff for those on Octopus Go and are allowing people to use the standard export tariff. This was noticed by Tim of "Tim and Kat" fame : So we can import at 8.5p and export...

Hello, I had the car set to charge last night for three hours as usual, first time in a few days. For some reason the charge speed seemed to be limited to about 1.35kW. I requested a full grid charge this morning after I noticed but before Pebbles took the car, still only at 1.35kW despite...

I was at the Everything Electric Show today in Farnborough. I wasn't able to get on the MGEV forum while there. In fact I could barely get internet at all on the WiFi or via Three. Anyway, this is what I look like and I expect to wear the same blue overshirt tomorrow so if any fellow forum...

I attended the Everything Electric Show today. I spoke to Octopus and Givenergy representatives about the fact that the Givenergy Charger isn't yet integrated with Octopus Intelligent Go. I was hoping that they would indicate a date in the coming months when it would be sorted. The bad news...

This morning I got an email from Everything Electric with links to pre-book test drives. It says it is an exclusive opportunity so either they sent it to those who have been to a couple of previous shows as well or they are sending it to everyone who has booked a ticket (more likely). In the...

Looks like this scheme from Octopus is continuing into September. I had already earmarked tomorrow for charging as I saw it was windy and sunny. Nice to know some of it will be free!

I've just checked and the discount code "2024EE" still works for the Everything Electric Show in Farnborough, taking place October 11 - 13. 50% off the ticket price! This used to be called [Fully Charged Live] and it is a big event with test drives and all sorts. MG will be there, along with...

Apologies if this has already been asked, but I thought I'd see what people take to be their primary reason for going electric. Obviously they are all going to factors but which one got you excited enough about electric cars to entice you?

Advice needed! I didn't clock a car parked in an unusual place in a car park without marked spaces and backed into it. Slow speed. Went inside and found the owner of the Audi who wasn't bothered. The damage seemed minor and all on the MG, which I drove away without any issues. Got it home...

We are heading off on our first EV holiday Monday (Covid recovery permitting) and I couldn't see any threads with specific tips about how to optimise the car before a long trip. Perhaps it is all obvious like plan your charging stops before hand (which I started investigating months ago tbh)...

I am planning to stop at a Tesla centre (Cardiff) and looked it up on Zapmap to see if there were any others nearby. Anyway, clicked on the Tesla one on Zapmap to compare prices and it says "Un-tethered Connection, user cable required." Now this is surely nonsense. There is no way you'd bring...

Hello, I've just had a service and I was asked if I had a service plan, which I don't. I wondered if it would be worthwhile getting one. I just paid £160 for a service, which doesn't seem to be an option here. The next one is £217 and the one after that £114 for the next one. I remember...

I've seen a few nicknames for MG4s based on paint colour but I'm worried that some are getting left out! Orange - Tango/Pumpkin Blue - Smurf Those are well catered for, but what about the other colours? White - Ghost? Grey - I'm going to propose 'Goose,' but can someone come up with...

Just seen an advert for the upcoming Everything Electric show in London (28th - 31st March) with a discount code: Quote 2024EE for 50% off tickets Thought it worth sharing here as I heard a rumour somewhere there will be a Cyberster on display but can't find any confirmation.
