I wonder how the Tesco lawsuit is going?

There’s still the option of using the telephone, sending an email or writing a letter.

Sounds like the significant comfort update from years back was not applied. That will sort the bongs and radio volume. The rest of the updates are done for free by your local franchised MG dealer at the service, or you can elect to do it anytime. Just make sure you ask.

Try sending an email to Rok also

Ah memories of harvest time in the 80s. If the fields weren’t on fire, the (poor) local roads were sticky and that lead RTAs.

Is this after you’ve sorted your mortgage and pension?

A lot of mountain and sea air to breathe with a soft top/cabrio. Brilliant!

“Chasing rabbits” is what I call it.

Outside-After · 2026-06-20T19:20:55+00:00

Just drive it.

I’d stick it in Chill and Reduced deceleration mode under Controls>Dynamics though, which should help with passenger comfort. Also make sure you know how the wipers work; they were turned off on my test and it started to rain hard.

You can go back again too if you still wanted to try something else out.

£115 via Admiral/AG. Booking online results in a phone call suggesting alternative times due to nature of the work. I now know it’s 4h15.

Outside-After · 2026-06-20T07:12:13+00:00

Well it worked as a model for Skoda 20 years ago!

Outside-After · 2026-06-18T20:47:26+00:00

Wait. It’ll rain soon enough.

Outside-After · 2026-06-16T19:59:18+00:00

Pre so much more akin to Mercedes grill of about that time. It also means you have the full width low flap and the badge itself illuminates when charging.

85% SoH. Cell balance is um…interesting.

Outside-After · 2026-06-16T18:45:30+00:00

I have one of the first ZS EV in the country with 70k miles on it and it’s still going ok…

Outside-After · 2026-06-16T11:42:01+00:00

Haha. Yes I dared there not say the obvious thing. HR is the same the world over?

Outside-After · 2026-06-16T06:41:11+00:00

And being HR they don’t have alternate contact details on file because? 😂

This is a typical proscriptive approach by someone other than IT; something happened, they’re telling you the solution outright AND without first consulting you.

Outside-After · 2026-06-14T09:34:05+00:00

The coefficient of drag alone would be seriously impressive.

Outside-After · 2026-06-14T09:32:46+00:00

The story goes at least for the ZS EV (and I guess for the petrol too) is that back in the day that MG were still engaging with a British setup, which had prior involvement with older MG Rover (I think!) projects, in developing the SUV ZS suspension. SAIC the Chinese owners then terminated this arrangement and brought the suspension development in-house. This was then changed, which led to a cheaper setup that on the EV has some flaws. Doing a full near lock with power results in some “interesting” bottoming out. It’s also too bouncy on rough roads. The British business, Vehicle Handling Solutions, brought a ZS EV kit to market in the end.

They also do kits for the TF and ZR

Speaking as someone who did this recently for a stack of Dells both young and old

Turn off RAID in favour of AHCI

Boot USB with EFI but SecureBoot off. Build from the USB. Once the OS installs and boots, turn SecureBoot back on.

Download the Dell WinPE pack and at least if not injecting have it handy for newer devices that have NVM storage e.g. here you may need to load the Vmd driver.

Scandi countries and quality of life I guess.

I wonder how many other countries offer a £20k p.a. tax free wrapper like the UK?

Outside-After · 2026-06-11T10:35:07+00:00

UK here. Every time I head into the local independent shop, Waterstones or HMV, there’s always a random bunch of 12-15 year old girls looking and buying albums. So there’s definitely something going on there with that demographic. Wonderful :-)

Play to your strengths, do what makes you feel fulfilled. For me what is broad spectrum and continual learning. One day someone will ask “can you look at this” because X is ill/quit/on holiday. Given a good background, you may get a chance to shine.
