I would do neither! Ensure the car is maintained by an MG dealer with no instructions about software other than asking for the best current version. Sadly, "If it ain't broke don't fix it" does not apply apply now. I used to be responsible for telematics and new enterprise level IT before...

Don't save money by avoiding brake servicing. It can void warranty and can bite you! Brakes corrode internally if the fluid is not changed regularly. I know because my car at the time (Triumph Dolomite) had it years ago. Fluid used to be checked for water content with a 'pass/fail' test and...

Doesn't work permanently - at least not for me. I gave up on it months ago and now put up with continuing 'key-less' and using door buttons which always works albeit perhaps less secure. I live in a fairly safe suburban town and there appears no problem with 'reversion to standard' behaviour...

A leisure-only lead-acid battery is likely to be more durable - different design and construction. ICE batteries are heavily compromised by the need to provide high cranking amps. They survive progressive degradation in both capacity and cranking until one day they don't. Extra cold weather...

Afraid that I do not know how to reverse it. I'm now suspicious that it might not be permanent after all. Picked it up from a TV interview with a Thatcham expert a few days ago. Worked for a few days, hence my post. I want it permanent so have not had chance to try reversion but will. Agree...

Disable key-less entry permanently easily. With the keyfob give two LOCK commands in quick succession. Watch hazards flash many times repeatedly. Wait until they stop flashing and then test. The buttons on front doors no longer unlock the car. Everything else remains unaltered. I have...
