I have a 2 1/2 year old Trophy, never had a software update, and in those years, the LKA has never worried me. Yes, it will sometimes beep and give a little nudge, but it's not going to kill you or any cyclists (it is a SAFETY feature). To get used to it, find an empty bit of road and...

Sorry to post this here, but Zapmap doesn't seem to have a Forum. I have created several Routes on my Android phone, all of which display all chargers. If I then connect my phone to my MG4 via Autoplay and select Routes in Zapmap, I get the message 'No chargers detected on your route'. I'm...

I can't be bothered, tbh. I haven't reset for 18 months or more, and the reading was 3.2 for many months. After a long journey (Berkshire to Pembroke) doing 70 for most of the motorway miles, this went up to 3.3... huh? And that's where it's stayed. I'm happy with that average figure.

MG newish to the market??

Oh, those crazy Germans!

It is brilliant, as you say! After 2 years, I still find excuses to 'just nip down to the shops' so that I can have a quick drive 😆

I'll have some of what you're drinking Terry 😅 The 'hook bit' thing makes sense, though... so I don't have to carry a screwdriver around with me!

Great idea... Unfortunately, in my case, I couldn't open the car, or the boot, or the bonnet 😮‍💨 and for some strange reason I wasn't carrying a jump pack with me. The lights came on a couple of days after I departed on my cruise.

I parked the MG4 in the Marina Car Park and headed out onto the canal in our Narrowboat. A week later, we returned and went to load up the car for the journey home. The car was completely dead, didn't respond to any attempt to open the doors. Guessing that somehow the 12V battery had failed, I...

Haha! I was cavorting on a cold and windy Devon beach this morning, so thought it prudent to keep the keys safely zipped away...

... and me outside 🥵 I had the key safely zipped up in my heavy duty winter coat - usually have it in my trouser pocket. We stopped for a coffee, and.... I left my coat in the car 😒 As I touched the door-handle button, the car beeped, but locked anyway. I checked the doors, but all tightly...

Trophy LR with 64k battery here. It's a brilliant car, though I do get envious of Teslas when I see them all plugged into their cheap chargers! But a couple of friends have Teslas, and they moan about various problems, so I guess any make will have its detractors. After two years with the car, I...

I've had 2 years of slam-brake-free driving... until last week. A pedestrian looked, for a brief moment, as if he was about to run across in front of me. Seeing me bearing down on him, he thought better of it, and turned away. I spotted this, but a second later, the car decided that I was such a...

My other half went to choir the other night, about 8 miles away. It was a really cold night - when she got home, she said, 'How the heck did you do that, the car was toasty warm?!' I was impressed that the iSmart had managed this! I wonder what passers-by thought when the car suddenly burst into...

Thanks for your answer!
