I find licencing very confusing - but wouldn't they make sure GPL software was used as is in a library? Doesn't that get you around releasing the source?

its rubbish how inconsistent the dealers are :( The temp and LKA updates have been available for ages, but seems you'll need to whinge at them to make sure its done, or find another dealer. TPMS - just add more air when the tyres are cold

My Aviva renewal recently came through - UP from £570 last year to £663! Just gone back to Hastings Direct Premier for £450 which is acceptable for me.

yeah I don't think it matters how careful you are, unless you have extremely long shins I'm not sure how you can get out without compressing the side of the seat - its no coincidence it only affects the door side of the drivers seat is it!

Of course, if it did use AC they wouldn't let you turn it off! 😂

I've been recommended an Aircon service for £89 instead of the usual £99 - the message didn't say just what that included though, I'm doubtful it would be regassing, however they did add this "also it helps in the cooling of the high voltage battery on the car, that's why we will highly...

yep, here is mine in June. I spoke to my dealer about it and they just repeated its not covered under warranty and gave me a phone number for MG "Customer Care". Its absolutely not fit for purpose, not even done 25k miles. I've seen somebody, possibly on facebook can't remember, who got a...

Hmm, if a 13A extension lead can't cope with 9-10A continuous surely it's not fit for purpose? I do think there are some scare stories around to make people buy EV special stuff - surely just making sure nothing is getting warm after an hour is a good indication your equipment is fine in the...

Was that RRG? I was paying about that with 3rd service due in a few weeks - when I arranged the service the lady wanted me to sign up to a new plan but then couldn't actually give a price, not got back to me yet, but 25 a month sounds a lot!

be interesting to see whats in there, you have to contact them for the source. I suspect it will be just the changes they have made to any open source software, I'd be surprised if there is anything meaty in there.

just piggybacking on this - do you know if the 360 camera calibration data is held in the FICM, I'm guessing so? My calibration/stitching has been a bit skewed since my FICM was replaced nearly 12 months ago. I've asked them to take a look when it goes in for service in a few weeks, hoping they...

I experienced this ACC dropout several times over the past weekend - on the motorway it would be active for quite a while then just turn off with no notice, I mean it could at least bong and flash something at me. I don't recall anything out of the ordinary when it dropped out, just in a lane...

oh how does anybody decide which tyres to get :ROFLMAO: My original Continentals are approaching 24k miles and down to about 3mm at the back, 2mm at the front so maybe good to start looking ready for the winter, not had all seasons before though. Conti All Season Contact 2 coming out at £527...

interesting thread! Whats peoples thoughts about not having a spare tyre when touring in Europe? I'm thinking about driving down to spain next year and an earlier comment about the lack of a spare rung a concerning bell in my mind :D I assume MG Assist with the AA only covers the UK (or country...

Yeah that's what I meant. Yesterday we had a phone that was going to take hours to charge from a power bank, I rotated the USB-C 180 degrees and it was now fast charging in an hour, so always worth a try.
