As they say, a picture paints a thousand words or in this case just two.

I preheated the cabin for the first time last month while the car was still attached to my home charger. I had charged overnight and it stopped at 80% as set and put in about 12.5kWh. The preheating used about 3% so when I got into the car it was reading 77% charge. Next time I came to charge...

An article in Auto Express says that if you don't tell your insurance company that you have a tow-bar fitted to your car they may cancel your insurance as it's classified as a modification. https://www.autoexpress.co.uk/news/365230/warning-your-towbar-could-invalidate-your-car-insurance

I put the car on to charge last night exactly as I've done many times before but when I looked this morning it had failed to charge. I checked the iSmart app to check the charging percentage in case the amount of charge had altered to below it's current charge level and the Zappi app. The Zappi...

It's time to prepare our cars for the cold weather so if anyone has any tips please let the rest of us know. I'll start... Spray the charging port catch with silicone spray to stop the lock freezing shut or being unable to close it after charging. I also put a bit of silicone on the connectors...

After a recent software update my LR Trophy charges to 100% despite setting the target battery level to 80% and the indicated range is showing 202 miles. And yes I have reset all the trip readings. I think the dealer has installed the software for the SR and not the LR battery. I feel I'm going...

If you have bought a service plan from your dealer it can be worth rereading the agreement as I found out. I had a low pressure warning on the front n/s tyre and decided to investigate and found a self-tapping screw had done what it does best and embedded itself into the tyre between the tread...

I'm getting a new phone and I'm wondering if I can use my old phone, without a SIM card but connected to the car's Wi-Fi hotspot, to run Google maps etc. in Android Auto on the infotainment screen?

Does anyone else take everything out of the car before taking it in for a service? My brother and friends tend to leave all the paraphernalia in their cars when they take theirs to be serviced or repaired whereas I remove everything apart from a cloth to wipe the windows. I use it as an excuse...

Looking for suggestions of artists and bands that would suit the owner's of MG4s. For example X Power owners would have Blur and Rush or if they have the Matt Green paint it would be Green Day Owners of Holborn Blue would be listening to Blue Oyster Cult.

Robert Llewellyn has a look around the new Gridserve facility at Garwick Airport.

This has been posted on Facebook. It seems Autoglass can now calibrate the cameras etc. after a screen replacement.

Had a Doh! moment this morning. I went to open the tailgate to put the dogs into the car to take them for a walk but it wouldn't open. Tried the driver's door and it still wouldn't open. As I went for the key in my pocket I thought "Oh ?, the 12v battery must have gone flat" My next thought...

Just read on Facebook that it looks like MG are starting to clamp down on unofficial accessories bearing the MG logo. So items like the black MG cover for the bonnet and MG branded sill protectors etc will become unobtainable.

The driver's window had developed a squeal when opening and closing which had been annoying me for a couple of days. Finally got round to fixing it this morning with a quick squirt of silicon spray in the runners. I gave the other window runners a quick squirt while I was at it together with...

Last night when I checked the 12v battery voltage on the iSmart app it was showing 12.2v. This morning at 7:00am it had gone down to 12.1v. I haven't driven the car or unlocked it since yesterday afternoon and the last time it was on charge was 6 days ago. I've just checked it again (10:00am) on...

Has anyone else had a problem with their car mats purchased from CarMats.co.uk? I've only driven the car for just over 1000 miles and the driver's mat is already showing wear on the corners and the heel pad is in the wrong place. I've got size 11 feet and my right heel is still to far forward...

Bought these from Etsy. Not sure if they look OK or are they a bit kitsch?
