Ordered from Tayna batteries on Saturday expecting delivery on Tuesday. Arrived Monday lunchtime, well packed and excellent service ****** for Tayna.

I measured again and it is the 012 type (207mm long) so I've ordered an Exide EL550 from Tayna. (I also have had excellent service from them in the past. Many thanks for your help.

I don't want to go lithium but I'm looking to use a EFB battery type to replace the cheap and nasty SAIC OEM part (3yrs old). I would like to fit an Exide EL600 but it is 242mm long (original is around 207 or 220 mm long and although the battery tray looks long enough, the clamp fixings are...

I had exactly the same problem, each time I did anything in the I-Smart app I got the alert. I tried locking and unlocking using the different methods, removing the obd dongle, resetting the infotainment system etc. to no avail. So I took the step of powering down (locking the car) ...

Yes but how are you alerted. What if you are abroad on holiday etc. .?

I wonder if the automatic unbinding of the app would be useful to car thieves? They could take over control of your car?

Did you ask your cat where it had hidden it?

The Ohme doesn't have WiFi or even a wired Ethernet port, the only way it can be controlled is via the cellular network or the front panel. This was an absolute no no for me so I didn't buy one. ( even with the cellular, you may have to pay a charge for the connection after a few years?)

How much did Amazon pay MG for the exclusive?

I find the Anker cables work well (but only the genuine ones from the Anker store (shipped via Amazon is an option), there are fakes available).

Took my Trophy in for its first service last week. Asked them to fix the Bluetooth. They upgraded some modules (secret mg 'recall') but attempts to upgrade the infotainment system failed. Their tech is off to MGUK this week and I'm promised an appointment for the update after this ?

I use auto lights but manual full beam/dipped. I've switched the lights completely off by accident 3/4 times, easy to nock the small switch while manually dipping etc. Very scary the first time on a dark country road before I worked out what had happened.

Reversed into lamp post, wrote off the car?

Surely our contract is with MGUK and not the Chinese factory or head office. MGUK should hold a stock of spare parts and if they are not available, they should cannibalise one of their sales department fleet cars to keep their customers on the road.

You can’t even switch on the heated seats or steering wheel with voice commands!!!!
