    Understanding how the interior heating system works

    I'm pretty confident my early (72) Trophy LR has that as well, will need to check later after work. There's no heat pump in the UK models. Might be the battery heater or similar, possibly part of the PTC system.

    All season tyre choices

    Well, after two reschedules from Blackcircles not having the tires at my fitting centre, the CC2's were finally put on yesterday on my way home from work. Only managed to drive about 6 miles home at peak time in torrential rain with mild flooding on the road, and they are miles better than the...

    All season tyre choices

    Just purchased 4 new Cross Climate 2's today (not getting fitted till Wednesday) as I and my wife have no confidence in the crap Conti C's that are on it. As soon as it's damp they grip absolutely nothing. So after 13k miles they're getting binned. Got another 2 years with the car, so the CC2's...

    Screen Not Remembering Brightness Setting?

    On mine, it is on Dark mode and minimum brightness. Every time I drive after charging the car, the brightness is up full whack, with the brightness slider still at minimum. Just have to move it up and down again to turn it back down. Just another quirk of the MG4 lol.

    Anyone 'pepped their brake lights up' yet, as Vyvyan would say?

    MG4 only has daytime running lights on the front. All the rears are off. So you can use the rear side lights / led bit as addition brake lights. At night / when lights come on the additional brake lights are then permanently on as they are just the normal side lights anyway and you will only...

    Anyone 'pepped their brake lights up' yet, as Vyvyan would say?

    I wonder if it can link up to the light bar on the trophy as well???

    Can someone tell me please? (Auto-dimming mirror question.)

    Green light is on. I believe the issue with the dimming part is, the Trophy has tinted windows so there is less light coming through the window, I haven't noticed any difference when driving day or night regarding dazzle. I used to drive my mums old toyota corolla verso with a dimming mirror...

    Any performance stats beyond the headline 0-60?

    The only thing you'll miss is the noise, that 5L V8 is an epic engine. I ran an early XFR for as few years and loved every minute of it, with the exception of getting only 180-200 miles out of a tank lol. I think when I sold it, it was showing an average of 17mpg :D

    Indicators flashing when blind spot is activated

    I dont think its the blind spot detection. I think its if someone comes up behind you rather quickly it sets it off.

    XPower outguns Smart #1 Brabus

    What would you like me to pull?? One of the two loose threads on my rear seats (that have been used about 3 times in the year I've had it, from new). The cheap foam with lack of support on the front seats. The buckled under tray (that's still there), the creaking noise from the rear over slow...

    XPower outguns Smart #1 Brabus

    I took a Brabus out for run for an hour about a month ago. It is a quick car and the build quality is far better than the MG4, but i did find the ride quite crashy. Brakes where fine, no issues with the couple of hard stops i gave it, but obviously i wasnt on track or anything. The Wife hated...
