    One for the Driving Instructors: Can You Use Auto Hold in a Driving Test?

    Good question, similarly , as more and more cars become hybrid or electric will manual gear changes be phased out from tests meaning new licence holders cannot drive manual cars without resitting the test. A bit of a death knell for the want to be classic car owner who may think twice about...

    Site upgrade thanks

    I was just asked to enable " push notifications ?" what is that , please. I have notions of it being where you run out of battery or breakdown and forum members rush out to provide muscular assistance , no!

    Sneaky (MG4 police cars)

    Its also interesting because French public utility vehicles are usually of French or at least European origin. Add on the tariffs for Chinese especially SAIC electric cars and there must have been some interesting conversations in the procurement department?

    Sneaky (MG4 police cars)

    For some reason I think the lightbar and colour scheme might make it faster than a X Power ! even though its a early standard range 51 kw version with 16 inch steel wheels and black plastic covers. o_O

    ACC/Front Detection disabling itself - interference?

    Westbound? what time of day? perhaps a low Sun was over exposing the camera which would disengage it. Or a reflection off a traffic sign , roadside greenhouse etc etc. A stop/start of the car will reset the fault whereas just turning ACC off/on will not clear the orange triangle icon which is...

    Many commiserations, you really have suffered with bad luck with your MG4 , first gearbox failure, now apparently first destructive fire . Hope there is a decent investigation and you can get a proper insurance settlement . Will you go down the MG route with your future choices ? Please keep...

    All screens gone black after charging

    Arr the infamous 12v battery connection, excellent deduction, at least the car was open and you had easy access to the bonnet release catch. 10mm spanner on permanent standby!:)

    All screens gone black after charging

    Is that happening right now???? Get out , lock it, wait a few minuets, then unlock and get back in. See if that works.

    Rust Issues

    According to the repair manual,(MG4 unless its generic ) the steel used is zinc coated , not hot galvanised as that hardens the steel making it more resistant to pressing , but cold electroplated (zintec) . As in all things this can be in various qualities and thickness of coating. This is...

    Should I get an Xpower?

    You have well documented some of the positives and negatives but you have to ask yourself do I "need" it or do I "want" it. When it was first announced I thought " yes I want that " when considering the drives I normally do then I reckoned I would only use its attributes less than 5% of the time...

    What have I done?

    It appears you have done your research and due diligence, so if you have a good one , and there are many, enjoy. You are based ideally for Snowdonia and the Trough of Bowland, whilst its quiet , excellent roads for a day out , tea and cake and appreciation of what it can do, again enjoy!

    Front inner wheel arch liner

    I was referring to the mystical vibes!!! and the fact they are still in place. 😀 Anyway a bit of of bending and they went back in , although one did have on the bottom edge an extra spigot of plastic stopping it going in . I assumed it was a moulding spigot which wasn't cut off in the factory...

    Front inner wheel arch liner

    Thanks , I thought mine were originally fitted , tucked in like that, but time plays tricks on your mind. Some how from normal road jiggling they have popped out. There is dirt behind , so could have been a while back. Something else to look out for???? And yours is a X Power ??? As with MG...

    Not off to a good start! MG4 Trophy

    Sorry to hear of your mishap. To be fair, the motor has only failed?( perhaps ) because of the coolant leak. Lets hope they find out the original cause of that also and find a permanent solution. You don't seem to have a lucky time of it. There is a European distribution centre , near to...

    Front inner wheel arch liner

    A bit remise of me not to notice before, but, at the front edge of the liner where it meets the bumper liner. Is it supposed to be tucked into the bumper liner or remain outside and hang down creating a 3-4 mm gap . The repair manual is not clear as to its final position and I can see the...
