My daughter wanted to replace the badly kerbed and scratched alloys on her Beetle Cabrio. Instead of spending £1200 on a new set of alloys I suggested that we could refurbish the existing wheels ourselves for a fraction of the price. So for the last two weekends we've been sanding and painting...

Longbridge is the HQ and factory complex of the original Austin car manufacturer. It became MG Rover until the collapse in 2005. It has since been redeveloped, but SAIC motors have kept part of the complex and use it for research for their vehicles. So I guess MG Longbridge means it was...

If you look in Google Play, you should be able to see what apps have been recently updated.

Front valance is not standard either.

What's to stop you renewing it again now?

Mine shows as due 1st April 2026 now, instead of 2025. Taxed today

Did mine just after midnight last night, and checked just now. Good for another year :D

Unless you are in the mood to drive it like you stole it ;) There's a left hand corner on the way home from work that I always enjoy flooring it on the apex as the car just steps out a bit and then just goes into warp! (Until I reach the speed limit that is.)

I once had an issue after using a rapid charger in that the battery percentage didn't change at all, even after driving for a couple of days. It rectified itself after I slow charged to 100%.

Speed of charging is what @Rolfe is referring to. I went middle of the road, SE, with the LR battery (NMC) Got mine before the ER came out. Most of my journeys are commuting, but when I do go on long journeys to visit family and friends I want to be able to travel without having to stop...

Your G7 is probably running Android version 9 or lower, which requires you to install the Android Auto app. If you already have that installed then it could be that this earlier version of AA isn't supported by the MG4 infotainment.

The Moto G84 as someone else mentioned is a slightly more expensive, but good choice for Android Auto. My daughter has one, and uses AA in her car all the time. I've had lots of Motorola G series phones in the past. Currently using a Poco phone which is a brand of Xiaomi phones.

Quick Internet search reveals this: Android Auto is built into phones with the Android 10 operating system and newer versions. If you have Android 9 or older versions, download the Android Auto app on your phone from the Google Play™ store. If you have devices that run Android (Go edition)...

Just drove into town to drop my daughters off at the theatre. My battery would've been flat before I got there! :ROFLMAO:
