    Space saver wheel suitability

    I have the same space saver from a VW golf and a dry fit only works on the rear of the 77. The Front caliper is way too big for it. Looks like a hunt for a relacement. It will still work for now, I will just need to add a car stand until i can replace it. This one will soon to be available for...

    Running a 12V fridge from MG4 LV Battery

    12 month update: The fridge has run continuously since I installed the setup. No problems, It hasn't run out of power, and seems to be able to dissipate the heat well enough. I didn't bother with a solar panel, as it has performed well enough as is.

    Proper Jacking / Lifting points of MG4

    The jack points are marked by arrows on the black plastic body sides. The lift points are the seam (circled blue), or the "puck" point (circled green).

    Black Vinyl roof wrap

    The black does extend below the roof line, and when you open the boot lid, you can see it is vinyl wrap. The question is (as suggested by the sign writer), is it a full proper paint job underneath, or a half arsed job just good enough for the vinyl cover? My experience with vinyl wrap is...

    Black Vinyl roof wrap

    Has anyone removed the black vinyl roof covering? I had another layer added on my silver 77, not sure how long it will last, so when I have to remove it is there continuous paint on the roof like the other models?

    Solving the Suburb border alert when navigating?

    It seems that the latest update to the entertainment software may have turned this "feature" off.

    Proper Jacking / Lifting points of MG4

    green, is for the "puck, rubber block with a spigot", blue one is for seam lift, but should use slotted rubber block to distribute the load onto the body as well as the seam, or a longer seam contact.

    MG Chargehub Firmware

    I have tried to apply the 1.0.8 ? latest firmware update, it failed a couple of times, and i may have modified another setting in the process, and now I can't connect or login to the charger. Is there a hardware reset available (like a modem) or do I have to try my luck with MG somehow?
