General Car Chat / MG

« on: 21 August 2025, 21:04:39 »

Looked at various makes and models over the months as a company car, looked at MG and thought nothing special in the looks and practical offerings.

Need an estate or an SUV and am still looking.

But was out and about to day and saw one of these only had chance to follow it but must admit we both were impressed with what we saw.

Not practical for me for work and health reasons,

But thumbs up to MG

All this tech is maybe good for some people and good once the person learns to trust it and relay.

What happens when it fails and there's no warming?

Once read about a Beemer when the throttle got stuck, couldn't turn off the engine or switch off or alter settings, nothing worked

He called the police who helped clear the motorway the poor guy was bricking it as the car just kept accelerating, not sure how it concluded bu reckon underpants were full.

General Car Chat / Re: Dearest one I've seen

« on: 06 August 2025, 00:52:07 »

Got me looking now 
For 50% off, I like the look of this one. Not normally a fan of JRG, but it's growing on me as I age. 

https://ebay.us/m/OLcGfK

advertised as having Bi-xenons ...... must be the only Omega in existence with them  Unless he means it has 2 xenon headlights 

Sure I have seen replacement headlight kits for most cars including the vauxhall range, seen some nice setups over the years.

But yes it could also just mean a bulb upgrade .

I bought a CTEK years ago, not sure of the model number but have been extremely happy with it.
