    Service Reminder

    Something to be aware of when buying used, I explore everyone to check and confirm the service history is full and up to date, that means every 12 months or 15k miles, whatever comes first. The room for error is 30 days or 1000 miles. Almost all the cars I checked when buying did not have full...

    WHich is going to be my best buy (MG4)

    I tested an SE and I found the seat adjustment was a bit coarse, I chose the trophy simply because the price premium was basically negligible but I’m glad I did as the seats can be adjusted perfectly, it feels so comfortable.

    Have MG sorted out the MG4 yet?

    I test drove an SE LR yesterday and I thought it was bloody brilliant! Very natural to drive, the salesman put it on OPD mode after I commented on the regen, I got used to it very quickly. looking around I have found a LR trophy phase 2 with full MG service history that is on time and mileage...
