    Tyre pressures

    KPA and Bar are the same apart from the decimal point. KPa is better as more significant figures are shown. Eg 2.8 Bar is 2800 KPa but could be shown as 2850 etc, more accurate than 1 decimal place on Bar

    Archived Original Continental tyres from MG4 (17" phase 1 SE)

    Thank you, I'll do a new thread once I'm back from leave for the trims. I thought the original tyres were good too, but I got offered the Goodyears also 2nd hand with 6k miles on them at a good price. I just need the space now in the garage!

    Archived Original Continental tyres from MG4 (17" phase 1 SE)

    I'm exactly the same, and not clashing with Rolfe commercially (I hope you don't mind me using your thread!) as she lives several hundred miles north of me. I have a set of four from a 2002 SE that did 6000 miles, and I then replaced them with all-season Goodyear tyres. Again, collection...

    USB Music

    The Trophy allows access to music by folder, ie by album. The SE does not allow this, the fact that by fiddling around it can work on the Trophy isn't a solution for the SE drivers.

    A/C auto

    It’s normal to leave the AC on anyway, it keeps the seals lubricated and dehumidifies as well as cooking. Unless it’s 30 outside and you’re wanting 20 in the cabin it takes hardly any power too.

    I was right then! I was beginning to think I'd imagined it when I changed the thread title.

    Delay paying £190 car tax on EV until April 2026 (action needed before the end of March 2025)

    Yes I saw it had gone up in the budget to £190 next April. But I could be wrong, and happy to be corrected to £180.

    MG4 Trophy headlamp adjustment

    Useless aren't they? there are 2 adjusters each side, one for dip and one for main height. That's on the Trophy only, the SE just has a combined unit up/down adjuster.

    Delay paying £190 car tax on EV until April 2026 (action needed before the end of March 2025)

    I I initially posted it in both MG4 and MG5 forums, but Rolfe merged them into the Chat forum. I glad you sorted it out Rolfe.

    Removing the always-on overhead light?

    Hardly, it is irritation, not a medical condition. I think sensible drivers prefer a dark cabin at night, with the minimum of distracting lights. That allows you to see out better, especially when travelling along dark lanes. The main displays are quite bright but can be minimised. The...

    Delay paying £190 car tax on EV until April 2026 (action needed before the end of March 2025)

    Yes, if you SORN the car, it cancells all tax. You then have to re-tax it, from what they said on the facebook group, you can 1) re-tax it online 5 days after the SORN, or 2) re-tax it at a post office the next day. I'm certain that would work Rolfe. Obviously you can't keep the car on a...

    Delay paying £190 car tax on EV until April 2026 (action needed before the end of March 2025)

    No, basically 1 April 2025 is when the annual £180 payment starts. So by re-taxing now in March 2024 at £0, you will again tax next March 2025 at £0. £180 payments start in April 2025. So then in March 2026 you will have to pay £180. But you have saved £180 for a whole year.

    Delay paying £190 car tax on EV until April 2026 (action needed before the end of March 2025)

    Yes it will save you 6 months tax next year. Just go to 'tax my car', say you have no letter. Yes you will be charged again - but the charge is £0.00

    Delay paying £190 car tax on EV until April 2026 (action needed before the end of March 2025)

    I guess it's a legal legitimate loophole, and sometimes loopholes get closed. It's the fact that "taxing" the car currently costs £0, so the 'cost' of re-taxing the car one or even eleven months early is also £0. Try re-taxing it again, saying you don't have a taxation letter reference...
