I have been quite happy with my Carlinkit 3.0 for over 9 years, but when I saw this teeny tiny dongle, I thought I would treat myself to one. I’m not sure of the retail price, but Amazon has them priced between £40-50. Aliexpress has them for £10+, so I ordered one. It arrived in a week, and I...

I very rarely need to use public chargers, but I stopped to put a little bit back into my battery on a recent longer than usual journey. It was very sunny, and virtually impossible to read anything on the screen. Is it too much to ask for charger companies to put some sort of canopy over the...

I changed from Octopus to Tomato Energy on 23rd September. I have not yet received a bill, and the direct debit that was set up has not been activated by TE. I reminded them once (a few months ago), but still no bill. I am not inclined to remind them again, as surely it’s their responsibility to...

I have ICE information form in mine, but it’s getting a bit faded and needs updating now. I’ve been in search of a replacement, and found these. Insurance company Aviva also have one, but it’s for your insurance policy details, rather than emergency contacts.

I charge and store my car in my (attached) garage. I have always garaged my cars, but never really thought too much about the fire risk. Having done a bit of research, I ordered a heat alarm for the garage, together with a linked WiFi smoke alarm, which is indoors. If either alarm detects a...

I have been on Octopus Go for the best part of 2 years. The cheap rate was for 4 hours 00.30 - 04.30. I noticed today on the Octopus app, it states 5 hours, 00.30 - 05.30. When did that happen? I had no idea.

I use CarPlay a lot, and a couple of days ago, I had an album cover in the CarPlay box on the ‘Home’ screen. Wow, I thought. Never seen that before; it’s usually just a blue box. My first thought was that an update had occurred. Short lived though, as I haven’t seen it again. I wish I had taken...

My details used to include which car model I have, but it seems to have disappeared. I have tried to see how to reinstate it, but without luck. Anyone else noticed this?

All the information I can get online about using the app states “click on ‘charging’, then click on ‘charge my non-Tesla’” I have the latest version of the app, but I don’t have a button that says that……. Am I being stupid? This is the first page of the app

I have been using my EVSE since getting my car in November 22, with the okay given by Western Power, even though my property is looped through to the next house (all detached, and not even adjacent). My neighbour, quite understandably, did not want their driveway dug up, when it was of no...

It would appear that MG4s have had a few updates to their infotainment, and I was wondering if anyone has had their MG ZSs infotainment ‘updated’. I recently had the first service on my car, and requested updates to the VCU EVCC CCU BMS and BCM modules. Since I have very little idea what most...

I have a Carlinkit 3, (purchased from Amazon), which worked perfectly in my previous car. However, although it worked okay in the MG to begin with, it’s now very temperamental. It has the latest software installed, but pressing ‘play’ on either the Spotify screen, (or the small square on the...

I rushed home from coffee with friends this morning, left the car running as the friend with whom I was going to Milton Keynes had already pulled up on my driveway. I told her to hop in, whilst I quickly went indoors, dropped off the small handbag (with the key inside) that I had used in the...

I ordered this, thinking it would fit on my ZS. It doesn’t, as the existing badge isn’t sufficiently raised for this to fit over. I believe it fits the badge on the MG4, so if anyone with one would like it, please dm me, and I will post. The outside measures 32mm.

My local Tesco superstore has 6 pod point EV chargers, and a massive car park. I have never seen it full. They recently installed new signage, along the lines of ‘in order that our customers can always find a space…….’ a 3 hour time limit during store opening times (no change there), but a 30...

After having my car for over 6 months, I decided I couldn’t put it off any longer, so armed with gloves, a long pry bar and some surfboard wax (as recommended by a forum member in Australia), I tentatively removed the first cover. I can’t pretend I found it easy, as you have to get your fingers...

There is something wrong with the geography - I live in Northamptonshire, but in the MG Touchpoint section of my iSMART app, EMG MG Ipswich is listed as my nearest dealership, at just over 14 miles away! According to the map, Ipswich has changed county, and it’s now a few miles north of...

I gave my car a good wash this morning, and all the insides wiped over/hoovered as necessary. It looked beautiful. On my short drive this afternoon, I had the sunroof open for the first time. That’s it - just wanted to share ?

I don’t know if I am doing something wrong, or I am just a bit weak! I really struggle to fasten the car mats. I can turn the ‘buttons’ a tiny bit on the drivers side, but the passenger one is impossible. Should the mats push right down? Mine seem to sit a bit above the actual car carpet, so I...

I experimented with the ‘Intelligent Speed Assist‘ element of MG Pilot for the first time a few days ago, and found it quite useful. However, it appears that it needs to be turned on each time. Is that correct? Or is there a way to get it to stay on (at least in ‘standby’ mode) for every start...
