You could try ukmgparts, it's a bit hit and miss but you might get lucky.

Fair enough, but.... There appear to be moves to limit the speed in vehicles to whatever the wonderful electronics decide the current speed limit is. This would only work if the poor driver is prevented from turning these automatic systems off. No doubt bypassing such systems would then...

Bought from new (MY25, six month build) as couldn't find used examples with leather. LRDM with Performance, Plus and Pilot packs in Space (black). First impression: good, it has a firm ride that's to be expected with big wheels and performance suspension. Nice touches such as a button next to...

Just done that very thing. I went for a Polestar 2. One month in and all good. Does everything (and more) that the MG does but better. LKA is done properly, ACC much soother, good range, hilarious headlights (pixels). As it has been in production for a good while there are plenty available in...

Range anxiety is more accurately charger anxiety. Fossil (appropriate word) fuel service stations are starting to convert to charging stations. At some time in the future ICE cars will suffer range anxiety. The difference is, will the ICE owners be able to refuel at home....:unsure:

Some providers will allow you to buy GAP insurance up to a year after purchase - try visiting some the insurers online and check their T's&C's. Not sure every insurance company will give you full value in the first year - replacement value is not the same as the outstanding finance - don't...

Indeed. Do we know if there is a coating of lacquer on top of the paint? Have seen this type of surface effect on alloy wheels that are lacquered with no paint underneath. Wonder if it possible to get the covers re-lacquered.

Brown & Gammons sell the locking wheel nuts (B&G Accessories).

How bizarre. It knows whether somebody is sitting in the driver's seat so you would think that it would prevent movement if there's nobody in the car. Would appear to be a gap in the NCAP tests.

There is a similar problem (somewhere in this forum) where, when waiting with the parking brake on, pressing the throttle results in the car rocking against the brake, but not moving, and demanding you wear your seat belt (even though you have it on). Releasing the seat belt and reinserting...

Agree with all the above. The most annoying feature is travelling the length of the M4 at 60mph with the delimited sign displayed on the driver's screen and it flashing for the whole journey - suspect the system was never tested in this country and, as seems the norm now, the manufacturer waits...

As my car is due back next month I have been through the "process". Started with the dealer - they said they did not want to purchase the car (as in, if they wanted it back, they would have to buy it from Santander). Probably due to the balloon payment being £18k and the 2-year old car having a...

Worst radio I have ever experienced in a car (and I can remember valves and transistors). Totally unpredictable as to it working or not. May work then go silent after a random time delay. Other music sources work so it's the DAB radio rather than the audio system. Inforpainment reset (hold Home...

I've only noticed two differences in my MG4. Auto-hold keeps the brake lights on which may be a little annoying for other drivers at night. Touching the throttle (should it be called potentiometer in EVs) to restart with the Parking brake on produces a noticeable clunk/jerk as the Parking brake...

Back in the good old days (80's) I was running in (remember that) my brand new Astra GTE with wonderful wizzy new LCD dash with digital speed indicator. Trundling along at 42 on the M3 I thought this is a nice ride, seems to be going along quite well, wonder why everyone else is dawdling. I was...
