Yes its easy peasy! 4 ball head studs fix in existing holes, and it takes about 5 minutes from box to fitted in the car!! I have one and its great, I ordered the extra net too. One downside as far as I was concerned, and it can't be avoided, is that there are customs duties to be paid before its...

"Fangs" yes . . . looking distinguished. Useful? No, but makes the front of the MG4 look great! :p

My accessories, front to back; Fangs Black MG badge Gas struts for the bonnet Frunk MG wheel centres MG octagonal valve caps Security wheel nuts Mud flaps Silicone rubber key fob cover Screen protectors for both infotainment and instruments LED interior light Luxury floor mats front and back...

Here's a thought; if you choose to get your new under tray from Brown and Gammons and carriage costs seem prohibitive, have a look at using an independent courier via SHIPLY. I've used Shiply a couple of times for furniture and large items. Study their web page closely and see what you think...

I couldn’t justify the expense of new wheels and tyres, so I had the standard alloys powder coated white, and bought MG centre caps off eBay. I've been running like this for a couple of months, and haven’t noticed any difference in range or m/kWh, but that may be as I don’t do much much long...

In my experience, this is normal MG dealer service attitude. :(

I hope everyone has renewed their tax by now. Then the next renewal date will be 1st March 2026. Now, because of the current political and government financial situation, the Chancellor, (aka Rachel from accounts ;) ), in the autumn budget, MAY review the Vehicle Excise Duty and increase it...

The reason my valves were replaced was because my set of wheels were in for powder coating, so had to be striped back to bear metal, cleaned and eventually baked to give the wheels their new look. So I had to have new valves. But I agree, if its only fitting a new tyre or a repair, there is no...

I'm no techi, and I think I've misunderstood what the garage did when my wheels were changed. First the garage kept the sensors for the wheels. This I understand are the ones that were on the wheels originally. The valves screw or attach to the sensor in some way, and apparently there is more...

See my comments here from an earlier post. I'll find out what valves my garage fitted. They charged me £10 per valve.

Here's my thoughts, partly as an "insider" but from 30 to 40 years ago. As an employee we had discounts of 25% on new car RRP. Garages were happy to work with manufacturers like this as they still made 10% - 15% on the sale, plus it added to their "sales incentive" schemes or targets for...

I will be checking after the service work is done. I'm currently on R59 (see above). I've been warned that the dealer may try charging me for non service campaign upgrades. A straight move to S/W R63 is not a service campaign, but because of the other issues I’d like fixed, it may happen by...

I have a similar issue too See my posts here My car is in for its first service next month and MG Europe are suggesting that my problem is with the TBOX, (telematic module?) I'll wait and see what happens then.

Thanks for the warning STG, yes the "gate keeper" is at Paul Rigby Redditch. I've requested 5 things for them to do, and they've already had an email from MG Europe regarding my "TBOX" (telematics box?). I think this is the thing that upset the "gate keeper" at service reception. :mad:

Thanks Siteguru, (y) I'll report back in April after the first service and see what improvements and corrections have ben applied.
