The tracking on my order states "2025-09-10 10:01 United kingdom, Item is in transit United kingdom"

I did not say that they were, but I for my part, I have not found them to be a good buying experience compared to buying direct from Aliexpress who have massively upped their game since Temu came on the scene.

I'm another one that had their order arrive in the UK on the 10th Sep and no update on the tracking since, and I for one, will not be using mgtitan again.

We had this problem with our S5, but cured it by applying a smear of silicone grease to the two round and the two square boot lid alignment/stops, as the friction when dry was causing the problem. The round ones are adjustable with a screwdriver if your boot lid does not close in line with the...

I bought an 8-metre V2L cable from Aliexpress and replaced the Euroland 4 gang socket it came with, with a13a 2-gang weatherproof RCD socket from Screwfix.

My wife has had idiots run into the back of her car on two occasions, so I wanted to get a rear camera in as soon as possible. At present, I do not have time to route a power cable to the front of the car to pick up a power source, so for the time being I have temporarily rigged up an 8Ah...

When I was look to fit a front facing dashcam, I noted that the pod on the front windscreen the that the rearview mirror is mounted, was offset quite a bit to the passenger side, so mounting a dashcam on the windscreen next to the pod on the passenger side, plus the curvature of the windscreen...
