You can only unbind if it is YOUR phone that is bound to the car. If it is another unknown person then MG have to do it via the dealer. You can’t force an unbind. If you lost your phone you can log in to iSmart on another phone - provided you log in via an email address rather than a phone...

Are they Trophy or SE owners? The software provision is diverging & written by different teams.

There are clearly two teams of software writers. I totally agree, the SE could easily have a software switch for auto locking at zero cost. With the other software problems such as no pre-heat when plugged in after charging it’s not going to be high priority for them. Is there any chance you...

Having had several ACC cars, when fellow passengers haven’t seen it before, I always explain carefully how it works… And how it works, I explain, is that my car has a tractor beam (like in Star Trek) and the tractor beam attaches to the car in front, which then pulls us along. The passengers...

They really need to be at 2.6 bar, set when the tyres are cold before a run. The warning message for low pressure seems to trigger when it drops below 2.4 bar.

I've set mine to 90. If for some reason I go over that speed it will tell me lol. Otherwise it is out of the way and un-needed. It would be cleverer if it used the speed from the road signs - however they are usually mis-read or on an adjacent road, so it would be even worse.

Our last four cars have been chosen (two Suzuki, two Golf GTi) BECAUSE they have ACC. Once you have had it and got used to it, it's the one thing I couldn't live without. Some marques charge a lot for it, namely Audi and BMW where it is a very expensive option. Some don't even do it. Once...

Which idiot is your MP? I’m sure 6 chargers at busy service stations will be plenty. After all, petrol stations there only have about 10 pumps, and let’s not worry that a conventional car can ‘recharge’ in about 2 minutes compared to 40 mins. Great news about the imaginary car grant too.

Hi, what is a trunk? Do you mean the US term for the rear storage area (a boot in the uk?) or the front bonnet (hood in the US?) where you can store small things and buy an frunk box? With a power supply you need to think about whether you want it permanently live, or controlled on/off by the...

It is a very nice large screen on that car.

You can set the RH star button to bring up AC, where the toggle does temperature +/- and fan speed +/- if that helps.

Hi, is there any chance the original soft plastic protection screen is on your display still, and it is that you have scratched? Rather than the glass underneath?

Many thanks for your help!

I'm thinking of buying this kit for just over £100 on Amazon (currently £123-£15), it has a wireless camera that attaches above the numberplate, and a clip-over mirror that has an inbuilt screen. Has anyone fitted one? The only unknown is how easy it is to find the reversing-light live-cable...

I'm really sorry Rolfe, I liked your original post, but then thoughtlessly hijacked the thread with a separate and now clearly unrelated question to do with power and energy consumption on acceleration... I should have started a new thread on that, apologies.

Thank you for the interesting paper and charts. It looks like the motors are much more efficient at higher RPM, looking at the 0.58-0.96 graph, which is a pleasant surprise. Of course, faster motor = faster car, with higher drag (proportional to V squared) so power useage (proportional to V...

Sloucher has done a great job with manuals and makes no profit, and having bought V2 recently they are very well produced and must be time consuming to put together. I noticed all the speeds are in Km/h but wasn't too worried and wouldn't expect a replacment.

Would these work? They are also W5W but are 1/4 the price of the ones at the start of the posts. W5W interior bulbs x 4

I'm an engineer so should be able to work this out, but feeling tired and thick... Does harder acceleration use more battery?? If we need to get from 0 to 60 for a 20 mile cruise on a dual carriageway with no stops, then DOES fast acceleration to 60 use more battery than slow acceleration? It...

Hi if you are usually the only person in the car, but put a briefcase (or a heavy lunch box!) on the passenger seat, or throw things onto the back seat, it can cause a problem with the seat-weight sensor thinking there is someone sitting there with their belt off. The solution is on...
