Perhaps it is time we replaced human readable numberplates with cryptographically secure QR codes that the police/authorities only can read?

On the last podcast Miles confirmed that the general policy with MG is that new features only come with updated versions of each car, retrofitting to existing cars is very rare, except when there's a really big pain point. So a future MG4 refresh may feature this, but it is unlikely to come to...

Yes, it is similar for me. I'm just over 2 years into a 4 year agreement and the car is basically already at the MGFV. The good thing is I won't pay a penny more for the extra depreciation and at the end I can probably negotiate to buy the car for a lot less, but the bad news is that I won't...

It is the responsibility of anyone joining a motorway to merge safety into the left hand lane and then make sure they have adjusted to motorway speeds and have a full awareness of traffic around them before initiating any other manoeuvre. That's what I was always taught. Sweeping across the...

2nd service should be around £200 if you are not on a plan. Check they aren't including other things that are not required for the service and shop around at other dealers.

Yes, I think we are pretty close to people not bothering with any particular battery maintenance activities. Just drive and charge as you want. Similarly, can't see the point in carrying around charging cables I never use - used my Type 2 once, granny never. So I expect people won't bother...

What is standing out for me in the reviews vs MG4: - Faster and better range than MG4 equivalents (surprised) while retaining sporty rear-drive handling. - Much better infortainment system and wireless CarPlay / AA. - More space all round, inside and in the boot. - Finally, a way to have...

My LR Trophy regularly goes to 100%, no detectable range loss in 2 years / 25,000 miles. It is important not to leave it at over 80% for many days / weeks on end, otherwise charging to 100% and using it is fine, indeed recommended you do this at least monthly.

Motorways and dual carriageways are 70mph. It is a dual carriageway when there's a separator between each side (hence two separate strips of tarmac, not one wide strip with opposing traffic only separated by paint markings on the road). You can indeed have a single lane dual carriageway, two...

My 2nd year service 24,000 miles was £195 at my local dealer. I think that's reasonable, there's a bunch of stuff included for the price, including a year's AA assistance. I personally don't like Tesla's "hope-nothing-goes-wrong" approach. I'd rather have a garage inspection and checks every...

I have been running with this update for a couple of months now. I deliberately have been driving with zero pre-flight changes, with LKA/ELK and AEB and speed limits detection on. I use ACC but not TJA. My conclusions: - My MG4 now works "properly" for the first time, I don't need a...

Thought I'd contribute my experience here. Was recently given the "opportunity" to do a Speed Awareness course (48mph in a 40, although was an empty dual carriageway). Apparently anything up to 53 could result in a course being offered. To be honest I am embarrassed as I make it a point of...

You were lucky with what you got. Ignore the 10% +/- 2/4mph claims, they are not binding and different forces do different things. The Speeding Calculator website is a good rough guide to what people can expect. https://www.speedingcalculator.co.uk/

There are a lot of MG4s around due to 2-year leases / PCPs ending and SAIC flooding the market with new ones and heavily discounting. That means they are great second hand buy. Second hand supply will increase next year (because sales ramped up in 2023 and 3 year leases / PCPs are the most...

Yes, everyone who wants to do this might as well do it now. No benefit in waiting longer.
