    Two approaches to solar install. Thoughts appreciated!

    If it was me I’d go for the bigger system but ask them to adjust it so you can charge from solar. Even if your DNO won’t allow you to have a 5 kW inverter it’s better to over spec the panels provided the inverter can cope with it. The panels are the cheapest part of the system and whilst you...

    MG4 X-Power 2026 facelift review

    Exciting news! My car will be going in yet again for the same fault! The technician says there is a known problem with the compound in the brake pads and they have asked MG for authorisation to change the discs and pads AGAIN! They haven’t been given authorisation yet (apparently it normally...

    MG4 X-Power 2026 facelift review

    Dropped mine off yet again today for the god knows how manyith time (think it’s the 6 or 7th) for the seemingly unfixable squealing brakes issue I’m having (even after getting new disc and pads fitted under warranty, which somehow has made it worse!!). They had the new XPower in the showroom in...

    Xpower Insurance

    Got my renewal quote from Aviva. Was £583 now £741! Obviously didn’t renew. Went to Compare the market, Hastings direct were the cheapest again but I’d still not go with them if they paid me to insure with them (genuinely). Several other black box options or no windscreen cover etc as standard...

    MG4 X Power Vibe/Hum 65 to 75mph

    I watched a Boston dynamics video showing how they train their robots. If they are doing the same sort of thing in China then it’s both terrifying and impressive. They don’t program them as such. They do use body suits to show them what they want them to do but they then feed that into a model...

    MG4 X Power Vibe/Hum 65 to 75mph

    It’s not really in their interest to be knocking out rubbish though. In the U.K. they have a decent market share and they could continue to grow that, but not if they get a terrible reputation. The UK has the second largest new car market in Europe and isn’t applying huge tariffs to Chinese...

    Mg4 Auto Settings MOD

    Amazing! If it doesn’t have it then intelligent over speed warning and lane departure. And a detailed instruction on here and YouTube of step by step instructions for how to install it, get it all working and how to uninstall it (just in case).

    Random headlight failure

    Mine did this today. Same happened to mine yesterday. I got a few hundred feet up the road and noticed everything looked too dark. Looked on the display and it said the lights were on but didn’t trust it so stopped and got out for a look. Rear lights were on but no headlights or daylight...

    MG4 X Power Vibe/Hum 65 to 75mph

    It’s under warranty so I expect them to sort it. Not my problem to fix it, though I appreciate your response 👍

    MG4 X Power Vibe/Hum 65 to 75mph

    Gone in for the 3rd time for the same fault and they have ordered new discs and pads under warranty this time! MG probably won’t approve it, but there’s hope!

    MG4 X Power Vibe/Hum 65 to 75mph

    Not if you expect it to be fixed as they are useless, but they absolutely can’t charge you for looking at and saying nothing is wrong( It’s a fault that they can’t get out of). Scored and or squeaky brakes are an MOT advisory. My brother is an MOT tester. All of the brakes are covered in the...

    MG4 X Power Vibe/Hum 65 to 75mph

    It’s so frustrating! They are trying to blame me for the noisy brakes because I’m using too much regen even though the car defaults to level 3 and I don’t leave it on that anyway. The second time on the same day with the same problem they handed me it back, they offered to show me how to change...

    MG4 X Power Vibe/Hum 65 to 75mph

    Got about 8000 miles on mine now and it’s changed quite a lot. It is barely noticeable at 70+ mph now but starts doing it at 50 and is at its worst at about 55, especially on the sound front, though much more mild than it was around 70 mph when it was brand new. I’m wondering if anyone has...

    I hate my MG4

    Well good luck with that then. You haven’t read much of the forum if you think all we do is sing praises. Hopefully you’ll never have any problems with your petrol car or you’ll be forced to stop driving all of those too presumably!
