    MG4 X Power Vibe/Hum 65 to 75mph

    Sorry, only just seen this. It is a free iphone app running on an iphone 15. I'm sure there will be alternatives on the play store. Gives a fairly crude measurement but is good enough to make some assumptions. The result was what I expected as it confirmed what I am feeling/hearing...

    MG4 X Power Vibe/Hum 65 to 75mph

    It's possible but if that's the source it would be a mechanical vibration rather than imbalance. I would expect that to be present regardless of speed. Balance vibrations are generally more pronounced at a certain speed like we experience on the XPower. I tried mine yesterday in all driving...

    MG4 X Power Vibe/Hum 65 to 75mph

    I did it in Eco mode to prove to myself it's there all the time. It's not as pronounced as in normal. Next time I'm on a quiet motorway I'll do it in normal and sports modes for comparison.

    MG4 X Power Vibe/Hum 65 to 75mph

    It won't make a difference as the vibration you feel can't be coming from the wheels, driveshafts or any thing else spinning at the same speed. The wheel circumference was only relevant to illustrate the difference in frequency of rotating mass at wheel speed and whatever is causing the...

    MG4 X Power Vibe/Hum 65 to 75mph

    I should add up front that the vibration in mine is not significant and most people probably wouldn't notice it. However, I did a bit of down and dirty analysis just to satisfy my own curiosity. Vibration was measured with an iPhone on steering wheel. I took two samples, one at 70mph and one at...

    Which? report on MG4 lane keep assist issues reported by This Is Money

    The salesman at the dealer I bought mine from advised me to turn it off unless on the motorway & showed me how to do it. :)

    MG4 X Power Vibe/Hum 65 to 75mph

    I agree. It is a significantly higher frequency than wheel balance. Although lesser in amplitude, it feels like running over rumble strips which would be oscillating at roughly 5-10 times per wheel rotation (wheel circumference is ~2m). I know nothing about the MG4 drive train but I would make a...

    Asymmetrical wing mirrors!

    Surely it's so you can achieve the correct glass angle without the glass on one side looking over adjusted in the surround. If you want symmetrical mirrors buy a McLaren F1 and sit in the middle. ?
