Salesman seems to be somewhat uniformed, and went from not knowing what I was taking about, to saying they didn't have the capability to do it, to eventually saying it should have been done on the preinspection 2 years ago, but they couldn't tell me if I had it or not, and would just need to try...

Yes, loved the expanse, and also from the original Don quixote's horse, of "awkward, past his prime, and engaged in a task beyond his capacities" (quote from wiki,) feels deeply appropriate

Its a facelift. But it's an MG garage with allegedly experienced salesman, and I seem to know more about the car them him. Asked about the Tesla, didn't know anything about it, then came back and said they were incapable of doing it, and when I queried that eventually said they couldn't tell...

Its a facelift,

My old diesel Volvo V60 has been written off, so I've put a deposit on on 2022 MG5. So have many many questions, but will start with the most urgent. I'm picking it up from the other end of the country on Tuesday, but it's only coming with a granny. I'm going to need to charge on the way home...

Really ? That's your response as a mature adult. Referencing cars by their means of propulsion is too much for you to cope with and you find it 'amusing', but referring to them as "proper cars" is your sensible approach to their nomenclature ? Which also leaves the meaning fully open to...

Not to kick off any sort of argument again, but I am genuinely interested what your issue is with "I.C.E.". you appear to have mentioned it a few times. At the risk of sounding condescending, you do understand it stands for 'Internal Combustion Engine', so I don't see why you seem to reference...

Yes, but you've made two statements. One that the current legislation was brought in for pedestrian safety, and that is why the rear lights do not illuminate. The government state otherwise, as per the link I provided and deep purple has as well, and the links I've provided so far indicate that...

I'm going to sound like an A***e, but here goes anyway. I'm begging you to please stop posting your misconceptions as fact. It's the principal thing that's wrong with the internet. People post things as fact with absolutely no evidence to back up these 'facts', when quite often they are wrong...

My poor choice of words stating "related to Pedestrian safety". I agree that the measures relate to Pedestrian Safety, and will make vehicles more visible to pedestrians as well as other drivers, but it is principally aimed at other drivers, as per my quotation that you agree with. HairyFool...

There are people on here saying the reason for DRL legislation is related to pedestrian safety, and that is why only the fronts are mandated. I do not believe this to be the case, do you have any corroboration of these statements ? The Government website, states "Daytime running lights (DRL)...

I agree that it would seem easy (without any clue as to what was actually involved), very useful and a good use of the existing hardware. I suspect it's harder to achieve than I realise though as I'm pretty sure MG aren't alone in not making this use of on board cameras. Regardless of it's...

It's not unreasonable to expect the auto lights to function as they should. ie turn on the lights when they are needed rather than at some point after they are needed. It is not comparable to saying the seats should move electrically when the car does not have this function. If there was no auto...

He doesn't say "problems", but says "battery degradation". Irrespective of how it's charged, batteries will deteriorate to a greater or lesser extent due to the number of charge cycles, it's inevitable. Some methods of charging will cause greater degradation than others, but if it's had miles...

Apologies if this shouldn't sit here, but I thought some of the battery experts on here might advise. I've got a pair of bluetooth earphones. Very cheap from Amazon, but they do the job. I've had them maybe a year and so and still doing well, but I was wondering the best way to charge them...
