Oh those French!

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...

In a country where the vast majority of cars are of French or German origin it was two and a half years ago and a minor consideration when choosing a new vehicle. Should I go with the crowd, or save myself a few grand and suffer the embarrassment of both electric and Chinese ownership. Today I...

A few months ago there was talk of 10 year, even lifetime warranties as being in the pipeline, all seems to have gone quiet on that front. Does anyone from any region have any updated info as to their arrival or even demise?

I normally charge on cheap overnight tariff. Tomorrow, Sunday, the difference in price between day/night tariff is 2.5 cents/kwh, and I want to put in 30 kwh of juice. The daytime temperature is around 11°C and night time -2°C. Would the subsequent increase in energy heating up the battery and...

New Spanish regs state ,that as from Jan 26 the red warning triangle will be abolished and must be replaced with an approved orange flashing light which magnetically attaches to the roof. This also has a GPS and some sort of Sim card which can alert the emergency services to your position . All...

A quick look on the new cars for sale in France reveals that there are only around 500 new pure electric MGs of any flavour available in France. Mainly 4 trophy's , a few X powers , no 77 kWh and no SE LRs. A few ZSs and 1 MG5. Not many Marvels, and no Cybersters. Maybe it's because of the...

Had to re-insure the car recently and was looking through all the options. Came across one companies site and in its generalities it mentioned that if you have an EVSE attached to your property you should inform your house insurer and have it on their files, they may want to see all the...

Like some others I run Towing mode all the time, my understanding is that one of its functions is to disable the radar and camera to some degree, in which case when I use A in the regen settings again which I do all the time, how is this operating ? or is it just defaulting to a level 2 regen...

My normal exiting the driveway is as follows : get in car , let the system boot up whilst fastening seatbelt, Press brake and put into neutral ( the parking brake auto disengages? ) let it roll backwards down the hill controlling the speed with the footbrake. Swing into the road , brake ,D ...

Amazon.com and others have started flogging fake plastic magnetic backed charging ports, mainly aimed at the US market as hilarious joke items so ICE owners can fool their like minded friends into thinking they have converted to electric. One of the advertising claims are that they can park in...

As a more wide ranging debatable topic with references to Mr Bricktops recent , " Goodbye all " post. Just to say I am absolutely sure that no laws were broken in that post and its not a condemnation of his completely legal actions, which along with others I do when I deem necessary. Most...

With the onset of colder weather I have noticed that the gas struts ( either one or both ? ) don't seem as energetic and are not opening to the full extent on some occasions. The car is 15 months old or 19 months from build date, I'm guessing there is only a years warranty on such items , but...

Many years ago when crossply tyres were still a thing, I had the tracking checked on my first car. The mechanic informed me that they set the track correctly then do a small adjustment to compensate for the camber of the roads. I took this at face value and to a point still think it might be...

I have asked this on the MG4 thread but wanted to extend the question to all models. Is the possible to see the Digital service history of your vehicle from the I smart app? And if so, how ? Thanks.

Has anyone had the gumption , nerve , desperation , to press the " restore to factory settings " option in any of the models covered by this forum. I suspect others like myself treat it as that button in the aircraft cockpit scene from "Father Ted " . How far back does it go? Does it restore...

Just coming up to 5000 kms and 1 year old, if I use a motorway its been only for around 6 kms so never used ACC / TJA , never used OPD , towing mode always turned on ,so never used LKA or had any phantom braking. Never used the MG app , phone is not bound to the car, never used the phone...

I did not want to divert the "Bolt on the seat " post so here goes. Can any one else think of the effects of having one or two large permanent magnets ( ie motors ) slung under the car. Not included in the MG brochures for the green credentials for the MG4 but lets say you are leaving the...

This is the first time its done it ,but today playing tracks off the phone via Bluetooth, the first 10 seconds of each track was really loud then quietened down to just below what I'd set then after another 10 seconds raised to the level I wanted. I can't think it was the car but I'm not sure ...

Most cars have a production run of around 6 years before they have major facelifts and alterations which could mean parts which fit the new model are no longer compatible with the original. Do all manufactures have a legal responsibility to provide correct parts for older models and over what...
