Add another to the list (23 plate Trophy)! I use the passenger door lock so rarely but maybe that's part of the issue. In for its 2nd service shortly so will get it looked at then.

I made a point of saying that bluetooth was temperamental (on the recommendation of various people in this group) and I believe that is what prompted them.

Didn't get any such notifications on my recent service. Got the entertainment update to R46. I'm strongly suspecting they didn't update anything else.

On the annual service from an MG dealer, should they have updated all the other 'modules' on the car alongside the R46 update? Or do they typically only update those too if you complain about them? I'm regretting now not mentioning intermittent issues with ACC, phantom braking and LKA. Equally...

I genuinely hope it happens. At the same time it scares the bejesus out of me. I know that, despite the risk, if it ever popped up on screen that there was an OTA update, I'd click to install in an instant.

When in android auto (or, as I understand it, Car play) the bar remains across the top of the screen from the main home screen, that which includes some basic A/C info, mobile signal details etc. Previously, that disappeared as you entered android auto. It's intended behaviour, as it means that...

I don't think MG have enough confidence in their software to roll out OTA, never mind consumers! The last thing they want is to roll out updates to everyone that causes more issues than it solves and involves cars en masse heading to dealerships, or even worse being 'bricked'. That being said...

Yes. Yes. It's rubbish. I'm fortunate that it and the LKA don't really kick in much on the roads I drive on. Is it one you have to turn off the settings before each drive? I don't think it's the only car out on the roads with issues with the auto-lights though by any means.

You're probably right with this Les. We're going to leave it now we're in the spring months anyway and revisit it come the Autumn. Whereabouts in Wigan are you? We're Standish.

Going picking up the dynamic red kit from these later. Darwen based about 20 minutes from me. I've never tried touching up car bodywork before so this will be a first. Any tips from anyone? Other than the cocktail stick mentioned above. Chip isn't tiny so I expect I'll need to use the brush ?

If you're travelling on the M62 at rush hour every day, you've surely not got much to worry about speed-wise!

They came through for us. Paid about a grand more. Ordered end Feb and received end March. Red Trophy at £31.5k. Good part ex price that was honoured on collection. Free official mats and both type 2 and granny cables included. The entertainment software is only r30, not r33, but we've had no...

I'm assuming it's not a straight forward install? Had an electrician friend install mine on the outside of a new build about 2 metres (if that) from the circuit breaker box and it only took him about 90 minutes with £30 worth of components.

Fair play to anyone even considering an EV purchase without the ability to charge conveniently at home. There's no chance I'd have gone for one if I had to rely purely on the public charging network (even a Tesla with the supercharger network). I'd have gone for a cheaper ICE with reasonable...

Yep. This definitely sounds like what happened. That's reassuring (although is hopefully fixed) ?
