    Change blindspot warning light from orange to red

    Could it be they are triggering the rear collision warning which does flash the indicators (rapidly) - all of them, but they would probably only see the ones on the side closest to them. I've switched it off as it was always triggering at traffic lights when cars passed close by in the next lane.

    A Cautionary Tale

    I tried a collar and tracker on our previous female cat, but had to retrieve the collar from various gardens in the neighborhood on a weekly basis because of fights. We gave up in the end, but seeing her "patch" plotted on the map was interesting. The current cat is male and gets in even more...

    MG4 Software Update Thread

    But they cannot know who performed the update? Could have been done by another dealer.

    MG4 - How do I turn it off..?

    I thought about diverting the driver seat switch to a dashboard switch - I may well still do it at some point.

    Can I use this 12V battery on my MG4?

    Lots of ice cars have a programming option for a battery replacement - I think it resets the cars memory of how much charge/voltage to give etc. as they adapt as the battery ages. My Golf had this, you could also change the battery type LA, AGM, etc.

    First MOT, phase one MG4s

    I only used it until it slows down then release, back up to speed and repeat, if you let it come to halt it will not let you drive again for a few seconds - seems like ages when you are waiting! You don't have to release the accelerator, just release the brake and it starts speeding up again.

    First MOT, phase one MG4s

    It doesn't look very bad, try using the parking brake a few times from a reasonable speed - 80-100 kmh - when no one is behind you obviously! Eventually they will clean up a fair bit.

    First MOT, phase one MG4s

    Trophy passed today, no advisories. (I asked them to take a good look at the front wishbone bushes too) I did spend a day hanging on the handbrake to clean up the rear disks as they were pretty rusty. It's not good for your brain though, it's like going on a roller coaster when you are old -...

    What makes you feel old?

    I wrote whole programs in Fortran on punch cards at uni. The mainframes still used them to boot up when I started work, even though they had a room full of hard drives, each one the size of a large washing machine.

    Repainted front Bumper?

    The whole bumper could have been replaced hence no broken clips. Other MG4's in that colour I have seen have not been like that (I was thinking of buying one).

    Noticed something today... Bluetooth

    The unlock and start uses a different Bluetooth connection from audio. The keyless stuff works over an unpaired BLE connection.

    Car wont lock or unlock with door handle buttons

    I've had to have both the door handles replaced under warranty :( I hope the replacements last longer than two years.
