I've driven an MGB for 32 years. I have no faith in any feature of a car as just about every feature has failed at least once. I do find having too much braking force is far better than having no braking force :)

In part, it may seem natural to me as the MGB does not freewheel when I take my foot off the accelerator between the engine, gearbox and overdrive, there is a lot of resistance breaking as standard, so the MG4 just does it far better. Don't forget that the MG4 has the emergency braking covered...

I have to say that I have driven an MGB for the last 32 years, while I've only had my MG4 for about 7 weeks. OPD seems the most natural way to drive a car, even after such a short time period. I want to move forward - push the pedal down, I want to slow down - lift the pedal, and I want to...

That is the point of adding a spoiler to the more brick-shaped cars (such as the MG4). Its job is to improve the air flow over the back. The thing is that the low air pressure zone found at the back does not just cause one effect. Instead, it causes drag and lift, so any added spoiler added is...

That is exactly how the MG4 feels compared to an MGB.

As it is due to EU rules with which the UK is aligned, you would have to disable the alert sound every time you start the car, even if it did remember other settings.

The overall circuit, which is installed as a ring, is protected by a 32A device (fuse, MCB, RCBO, etc) at the fuse box/consumer unit. So the appliance fuse in the plug is there to make sure that the appliance and its cable can not pull more current than the appliance's rating. Otherwise, it...

A rather mundane requirement from me after about a month of driving. Adjustable seatbelt height on the mounting pillar. I'm 6'4" and to have the seatbelt correctly over my shoulder at all times, I have to set the seat low and forward of where I would like it.

The manual has some basic details, such as below - but it can be summed up as 'how long is a piece of string'. Seat Side Airbags and Side Head Impact Protection Airbags Under conditions described below or similar ones, side airbags and side head impact protection airbags may not be deployed...

Message threads like this one have tested the V2L output to the maximum https://www.mgevs.com/threads/v2l-test-7kw-output.8427/ I'm not sure how many connectors are designed to supply 7kW, but the car seems to support it.

I'd have been one of those people in my MGB :)
