    RRG MG Stockport - MG Dealer Discussion, Opinions & Experiences

    Went to test drive a used 5 SR end of last Summer. Bit of waiting about but not bad. After they photo copied my ID I left it there and had to go back later to collect it when I noticed. Made a lower offer but by the time they got back to me I'd already bought an LR elsewhere. Is there a...

    Leaving the trickle charger outdoors overnight/in bad weather.

    Mines plugged in the garage, with the car end left on the drive coming out under garage door. Been meaning to fit some kind of hook to get it up off the floor. Bit worried about the cap icing on in cold weather, and the caps zigzaggy retaining plastic string snapped (more brittle on cold or...

    Horn beeped when locking

    I'm aware the horn will beep when attempting to lock if a door is open, but tonight it honked, made a locking noise and folded the wing mirrors (PFL LR Exclusive) On checking a rear passenger door wasn't fully shut. Does this mean I can't use the folded mirrors as a sign the car is actually...

    EV charging App

    Congrats. Also Plugshare for reviews, (and if you dont have your own home wall charger or friendly neighbout, take a look at Co Charger). ABRP is also interesting.

    1st long(ish) trip

    Made it back with plenty left. (Shorter but slower route and noticed the potholes more). Definitely feel less fatigue compared to ICE noice.

    Check your front doors drain holes

    Mine has them on the front still, no water behind them. Wondered if drain holes are actually on the door corners? Not poured water in to check. Thought they seemed thicker and stickier than a temporary 'remove before flight' thing so have left them there.

    1st long(ish) trip

    Drove 2.5 hours to Centre Parcs for half term family break. Youngest slept most of it. Enjoyed the go when putting foot down, didn't feel the extra weight in the back. Looked like there were plenty of free charging spaces when I arrived but due to me being stingy my type 2 cable hasn't arrived...

    Issue Connecting To ECU with OBD2

    I have similar problems with my MG5 LR 2022 PFL and a cheap ebay Dongle (BTLE works fine between android phone and the dongle, cant connect to ECU).. No joy with car scanner or a few others. My phone seems too ancient to install Torques. ABRP doesnt see the dongle when scanning. EODB Facile...

    New car - Dirty engine bay?

    Had my 2 year old second hand's cover off to scope out frunking options and was suprised how dusty it was, spiders, few leaves... Quiet a contrast from the outside paintwork. (Miles better than my old ICE after Halfords left oiler filler cap off though ?‍♂️)

    Is there a physical max line visible anywhere, or do I just fill up till the level rises in the neck of the bottle?

    Car Mat Clip Spacing

    When I looked on ebay many didnt state spacing. Used this seller who has both (just wish it was in titles as well as description) https://www.ebay.co.uk/str/radioworld
