Standard problem solving is to ask these questions. 1. did the issue exist before fitting these tyres? If not then highly likely the tyre is the cause. I would have another tyre business fit another 4 tyres, say some bridgestones or pirelli. See if it fixes the issue...

Yep that should be fine in WA the law is a bit obscure. There are two conflicting rules. If you have a bike rack with no bike on it you must display aux plate. If a bike is on the rack then apparently not required. That said if you block 5he primary plate then you may be in breach. However in...

Not really set up for an aux plate. I'm in wa and never needed one 😉. Another of the yakima range has a specific area for aux plate but is a ball hitch type connection not thereece hitch so you would need an adapter. It's the fold click 2. I had one but found it tricky to lock onto bike frames...

Yakima hold up 2

I have a yakima rack. 2 x full susp ebikes. All up down weight exceeds 50kg down weight and no issues. I rarely take 2 x bikes and remove the 800wh battery from my bike when transporting, so mostly less than the max down weight. Gave the 77kw mg4 and have the bike rack and bike on very often...

Not sure what the word "dog" has to do with the original post? The Op was saying in their country it's not illegal for someone in the rear seat to not use the seatbelt. Someone, aka a human not a dog. My response was why if you have a safety feature that saves lives would you avoid using it and...

I have an MG original towbar fitted to mine by MG at time of purchase. Haggled it, the v2l cable, mg4 car mats, rear bumper protection mat and the MG wall charger. All bundled came to $2,000 AUD. Not sure that helps as not sure what the tow bar component came to separately.

Yep mine does not auto select tow mode. I also use a bike rack. Everything works as usual if I leave towing mode OFF. Just the nagging warning when I reverse that there is something too close to the rear buy I can live with that.

Sept 2023 essence 77kw here and now 37,000km and nearing it's first 40,000kms service. Fixed price $350 AUD incl a loan car, seems pretty reasonable given the list of items they indicate are done on that service. Original tyres but nearing change time... tow bar fitted from new and used...

Can't speak for all apps but google maps let's you download maps of the areas you will be driving through in advance so no internet is needed. Pretty unlikely you will ever get a flat phone these days in the car as you can charge from that whopping big one that powers the car 😉

I can sort of understand your desire to use the built in maps that should be provided free by MG for the period indicated but to be totally frank, I see zero value in them. As others have said they are woefully out of date and provide such little information they are less than useless. Given the...

Would agree with these comments. I have had my ER for 16 months and just hit 32,500 kms. I live west coast Oz and find summer to winter here doesn't affect range much. I am suprised that the very high temps have minimal impact on range or anything except usage of aircon... I have never had a...

Sure you haven't locked the kids in there and simply forgotten??

Wow! Thanks for putting up that video, not seen that one before. I am 1.5 years and 31,000km in on my 2023 Camden Grey 77kw LR, west coast OZ. Zero issues so far. That video should be used by MG for marketing purposes 😉. I have ridden most of those "roads" to Karala on a royal Enfield and can...

@Koops . I totally get your concern. I have an MG4 77 kWh under lease and so far 30 000 km in, an not a single issue with it. My concern would be service issue from MG dealers. My minimal contact with them has been very disappointing. Consistent lack of communication, follow up or incorrect...
