    Security features ?

    The Cyberster has just been announced for preorders in Oz . No specs or details yet …hence the question here : what security features does it include ? Is the a camera alarm system similar to Teslas ?

    Roof rack

    Its not so much the weight but the sideways momentum exerted by the load when taking turns and in a crash situation which limits what you can put on the roof. The roof can pretty much support the weight of the car when overturned. Roof tents have a load limit of 150kg while stationary.

    So dangerous gearbox gap in acceleration.

    When I first experienced it I instinctively tried to floor the accelerator to overcome it which actually makes it worse. I think this is because the automatic transmission thinks it needs to change down a gear instead of up and adds some more delay . If you just keep the accelerator evenly...

    So dangerous gearbox gap in acceleration.

    The lag I experience is usually at 80 km/h and very momentary. Never been dangerous . Yours sounds worse than it should be so bring it to your dealer to have it checked out .

    Anyone in Australia got a wireless CarPlay adapter working?

    I can’t comment on MG4 specifically but I have a Carlinkit 2 working in my MG HS and my VW Eos. It only gets confused if my wife and I are in the car at the same time, where it sometimes can’t decide which to connect to. The main thing is to ensure you delete the Bluetooth connection from your...

    Charging Phev battery

    If you live on a hill and the start of your day is driving downhill for a considerable time, you could recharge to about 61km range. This is because if the battery is fully charged, it does not like regenerative charging going downhill, and the ICE engine...

    Charging Phev battery

    I treat mine like my phone - charge it every day . I have a standard timer on the wall socket which limits charging to off peak or shoulder times , so I don’t end up charging at peak rates. As my daily commute is less than 20km this suits me just fine. I could , at a push , charge every other...

    Wireless CarPlay in Trophy - These Settings Seem To Work?

    One of the common causes of an unstable connection is forgetting to remove the original Bluetooth connection with your phone . The Head unit then gets confused and tries to connect to your phone direct instead of the Carlinkit Bluetooth. .

    Boot spare light socket or something else ?

    Does anyone know what this might be ? I initially thought it was a spot for a boot light in left hand drive vehicles . When I opened it up , there was a loop of cable or wire like a pull toggle . Could be see if there was a wiring socket behind it….

    PHEV buyers remorse - and I've not yet got it! Please advise.

    Acceleration time is 6.9 sec to 100kmh. (Near Golf GTI ). I screeched the tires when driving out of the dealership on the test drive. EV mode is near silent, with a nice soft jet -like whine. So much so when the ICE kicks in , it seems rough in comparison . I...
