I guess 4 times in 2.5 years is a lot, nevertheless - once is enough and this last time (5:45am on a Sunday Morning) was easily the most inconvenient, twice before the leaks were slow and I found them the next day when I discovered the flat, even so, I live a few ks from any service station, so...

Last Sunday, at 5:15am while on my way to pick up a friend - (we were both playing golf), I was about 2ks from his place when my front driver's side tyre blew. Result; a 5mm hole in the sidewall a goo kit would have been useless! And at that time/day, roadside assist and a replacement tyre would...

Really, I was looking at the Nissan Leaf, but there was a drama here is Aus, and models were recalled. The Reviews of the MG4 have been really positive and reaction has been likewise. As a MG owner myself i am drawn to the MG4 plus the test drive was very comforting. Do you prefer your new vehicle?

Much appreciated, going from a ICE MG6 to an EV MG4 feels like a smooth enough transition although i understand there will be an adjustment in understanding all the new tech, regen braking, automatic drive assist etc. At this stage my only worry is commitment to the 51kWh Model with no buyer...

Thanks, I live in Brisbane Australia, so, our Winter temps are mild compared to Sydney and Melbourne etc, plus our Winter season is fairly short really 6 to 8 weeks where night time temps go as low as 10 degrees Celsius and daytime is still 20-24 average. So, again I'm not sure if the...

OK, I'm heading to the dealership soon, my  MG6 is almost at 100,000ks. Im a 99% city driver, my longest trips are 150k (95miles) round trips 4 times a month to play Golf. Otherwise daily 20- 30ks once or twice a year I can do a trip to see family 900k (560m) each way. On my home I have a 6.5 kW...

I wish people would stop falling for weight related nonsense, yes manufacturers want to keep the EV cars overall weight light as it increases the advertised ev range projections etc. But, if the weight of a space saver spare was that critical on overall performance or tyre wear or wheel hubs...

Important to remember it's an emergency tyre only, reduce your speed and drive limited distance to have your full size flat repaired or replaced. No one I hope thinks this option just allows normal unlimited driving. Where are you storing the wheel?

I should point out, that a Space Saver tyre can be found at almost every car wrecking yard, you only need the wheel as you already have the tyre changing equipment - only a compatible wheel hub (ie 5 holes not 4 and 17" or 18" wheel) the staff at the yard will assist in the correct selection. As...

Salesmen, weight??? A space saver is Less than 1% so, the range drops by that, in the real world this means no real difference. Let's discuss "real world". Pick up a piece of shrapnel cutting a 2cm hole in your tyre meaning the goo kit is useless, ring MG assist, wait for hours, get towed and...

Thanks, here in Australia a after market goo is around $25, a nail or screw hole plug repair $40-$60, much cheaper than a new tyre.

The MG4 has limited storage, so a full size tyre is impractical. The other thing that turns me off the goo is that a replacement bottle costs around $55. This on top of paying for a tyre that could have been repaired. I do feel MG should rethink the goo. If they offered a practical SS wheel kit...

I am weighing up the purchase of a MG4. For the past 8 years I have driven an  MG6 and loved it. However, in the last 2 years my tyres have blown out 3 times in around 19 months. The tyres were not old. Twice I picked up either a nail or screw, and the 3rd occasion a peice of shrapnel which...
