I’ve had a ZS, MG5 and now have the MG4, the MG5 boot is bigger but not that much in practical use for me. I have the Trophy and there is room for a trunk in the front, I will be checking to see if I can custom fit something soon. There are side pockets in the boot that the cables can fit in if...

I also have…….. a set of speakers ready to install (amp to follow), bonnet struts (will make a custom fit frunk), luxury boot liner, rear interior lights, roof rack, tow bar ? I do already have the car though ?, traded the MG5 in for it which I previously swapped the MG ZS for ?

Ha, they arrived from AliExpress yesterday so will fit them tomorrow ?

I’m running at 2.7bar all round and haven’t had any grip issues on the standard tyres (except when forcing it to step out on roundabouts and sweeping bends). I’ve recently been doing a regular 105 mile round trip on some fun A roads, A272, A34, A30, and some narrow B roads, early morning with...

I’ve never had a problem charging my electric vehicles at campsites in 9 years of ev camping trips. If they have a poor electric hookup network then they will have problems with camper vans plugged in too, most sites are 16amp and granny charging pulls 8-10amps so less than a traditional camper...

I did the same strip down in the obvious place but couldn’t see anything under/behind the screen. Must be an amp module somewhere, maybe under the bonnet or the centre console?

….and Tesla have been overpricing since starting with a plan to reduce prices when the legacy auto manufactures finally start to up their ev game. Profit per vehicle for Tesla at point of sale is 32% plus 8-12% for after sale add-ons, no traditional motor manufacture can match that. Early on...

I live in Hampshire near the south cost so have a good mixture of road types. Recently been doing a 105 mile round trip, A272, A34, A30, in the mornings a couple of times a week. It’s a good route for testing out the drivability and handling. I’ve been testing the grip limits on damp sweeping...

Did you use the existing wiring for the new tweeters or add a passive crossover?

It is a bit awkward to test, if the negative is wired to the positive on the speaker the speaker cone will fire inward first, positive to positive will fire outward. It shouldn’t make a difference to sound if wired incorrectly but sometimes with multiple speaker set ups it can reduce the power...

Make sure the positive and negative terminals are correct for the mids and tweeters, have you found the sound settings as there are some tweaks there and a sound equaliser. The original speakers are tuned to the head unit and usually you get better sound when upgrading the speakers by switching...

Seats do fold nearly flat but they would definitely have to get on very well in the boot ??. My Shepherd is very long and tall so always has to hunch when sitting up, there is slightly less space than my previous MG5 but he’s comfortable on journeys.

I’m very surprised at how well it clears the rain when moving, it’s dirtier on the inside from my dog rubbing up against. And for reference a large 44kg German Shepard fits in the boot ok

No rear wash isn’t a problem in my Trophy, I was sceptical at first but after 925 winter miles and a very dirty car the rear window has remain very clean, it also clears the rain quickly when driving too.

It is only really relevant at very low speed impacts. We could have (almost) death proof cars, this would mean complete motorsport type safety cages, harness type seatbelts, wearing of crash helmets (at least a scull cap type), neck brace, fire extinguisher system, etc etc. 34mph isn’t fast but...

It is quite alarming how bad all cars are in a relatively slow impact. From the attached: Car Drivers The risk of injury in any collision is influenced by many factors, including the vehicle’s speed, its design, strength and occupant protection systems, whether the occupants were wearing seat...

The NCAP is a great system to show how safe a car can be although the highest speed they use is 39mph (55kmh) and most of the tests are done at just 18-22mph! The speed limiter will have to be fitted to every new car as of April this year, it can be switched off but at the moment, you will...

I’ve had A ZS, MG5 and now have a MG4 all from the same dealership, Richmond in Portsmouth, and must say that MG as a manufacture definitely sort out software issues very quickly especially compared to other manufacture. The dealership you buy from may be the weak link as they are not MG...

I only ever put £100 in as an ordering deposit and it doesn’t take much to get them to back down from the £500 they ask for. Shame they made a big deal about cancelling especially as they also make a big deal about getting on the order list fast for the new delivery date ? I’m not sure about MG...
