parking

Parking is the act of stopping and disengaging a vehicle and leaving it unoccupied. Parking on one or both sides of a road is often permitted, though sometimes with restrictions. Some buildings have parking facilities for use of the buildings' users. Countries and local governments have rules for design and use of parking spaces.
Car parking is essential to car-based travel. Cars are typically stationary around 95 per cent of the time. The availability and price of car parking supports and subsidize car dependency. Car parking uses up a lot of urban land, especially in North America - as much as half in many North American city centers.

    How to Leave my MG4 parked but movable?

    Here in Thailand almost every covered car park allows parking at 90 degrees to the marked parking bays, but vehicles must be left in neutral with the handbrake off so the attendants can push them to allow access to the blocked areas. So far I've managed to avoid using these spaces with my MG4...

    MG 5 - Car "dies" in traffic queue with manual parking brake applied

    I have a two and a half year old MG5 long range and on two occasions (several weeks apart) I have been waiting in traffic with the manual parking brake applied and when I try to move off (by just pressing the accelerator) nothing happens! I can't be sure but I think the heating fan stops but the...

    Left our MG4 Trophy LR at Gatwick Airport on 30th January, fearing the 12v battery drain while away for 3.5 weeks, we charged to 95% at services, left car with 87% charge at the car park, I was able to track it regularly for 10 days, then it stopped, nothing I could do would re-boot it. The car...

    I used the parking brake !!

    Having had the car for 2 years and a ZS EV before that for a year I had never used the parking brake switch on either car until this last weekend. :) I had always found the footbrake, Autohold and Park to cover all my needs for holding the car when stopped. However for some reason sat at lights...

    EV plonker hogging ICE stations

    Us EV drivers complain a lot (rightly) about ICEs parking on an EV charger bay - today I saw the other side of the coin when an EV driver nonchalantly parked his car (an MG5) at a petrol pump before going to grab a coffee at Greggs. Plenty of off-pump parking bays available. What an idiot! I...

  14. Front parking sensors

    Had my new HS Plug in Trophy that I was told in dealer was top of the range with all the bells and whistles! But it seems there is no front parking sensors and the 360 cameras have to be manually switched on that is not helpful when parking front on! To be honest the dealer was pretty clueless...

    Warning beeps when parking

    When I am reversing into a parking space the car starts to beep when you encounter an object i.e. another car appearing in the yellow or red lines. However when moving forward to straighten up in the parking space the car does not beep as you get closer to the car in front. So my question is...

    "P" for park

    Just wondering if the 4 has a parking pawl in the transmission which engages when you press "P" on the selector. I know the gen 1 ZS didn't, "P" just engaged the handbrake on the rear wheels, but the MG4 manual says "P" locks the transmission and there is a slight rock and a metallic clunk sound...

    Battery percentage during long term parking

    We are shortly going to leave our MG4 in an airport long term car park for 3 weeks. It will probably be sitting at about 60% battery when we park up. What sort of % loss can we expect? Andy

    Hi all just thought I’d share the reverse camera installation in my MG4 SE LR.

Not the easiest installation but I think it’s very effective and looks very OEM. Camera is...
