    My Alloy Undertray Reinforcement for MG4

    The left and right bolts do protrude because they are at an 8° angle to the flat of the plate and have angled packing washers to facilitate this. I did not produce a drawing, instead I used the undertray itself to provide the hole locations, marking the plate through the center of the plastic...

    My Alloy Undertray Reinforcement for MG4

    In my pothole adventure with our MG4 Pothole gives MG4 concussion. I mentioned the undertray was displaced downward and full of rocks. I removed it after devising a way to safely place the rear of the car on stands. The tray is held in with 9 6mm hex head bolts with large washers and 4 Phillips...

    Pothole gives MG4 concussion.

    Squealing low speed brakes

    Our MG4 Essence LR makes a classic disc brake squeal during light low-speed application. Ok so it announces that somebody has returned home, but it is annoying. Even my first car, a Mazda 1500SS had "anti squeal springs" on the calipers and they never squealed. Has anybody else noticed this and...

    My MG4 Spare Wheel Solution

    Like most recent small cars the MG4 is supplied with a gunk canister and what passes for a pump, optimistically promising to get you moving from where you stopped to a tire repair facility without resort to a flat-top tow. As many experiences related on this forum show, this is going to be a...
