Check the congestion at the roadworks on the A303 (Sparkford) versus M4 (about Junction 13) before you set off.

Actually it's quite useful. If the door is fully open, you can reach the handle without having to lean way out of the car. (y)

Interesting that the age range 41-50 is winning the poll spectacularly. Clearly the MG4 provides the wheels for a midlife crisis :D

I remember those vacuum wipers, nightmare - kept stopping! Mind you, my first car was a Hillman Minx, with seatbelts and a column gearshift, so bit like a Tesla, really.

My Trophy does the switch happily, and drives, without the seatbelt fastened. However, foot has to be on brake to select Drive or Reverse. (However, this is not the OP's problem.)

Agreed. It happened to me yesterday (wheel not straight). I ignored it - no probs.

I tried this, and it worked, even though it said my car was in Brussels! :rolleyes:

I believe the headlights come on while it is pre-heating, and go off ten minutes later when it stops. (I wish they didn't ) :(

Check out this old thread, Carrying a Load on the Roof , in which the insurance issues @siteguru mentions are thrashed out, and a Thule set of bars is illustrated.

Agreed, there isn't any loss going to the car, apart from a miniscule amount heating the cable. The loss happens in the car, in the converter, as @wattmatters points out. @tsedge experiences a loss from 7 to 6.4kW, which is 8.5%. When I measured it last on my Trophy I made it 8% loss, so much...

Looks like a bug in the forum software. Note that the spurious first post at the top of the page is ABOVE the Prev 1 2 selection - normally this is at the top. I haven't seen this on other multi-page threads.

Using my home PodPoint charger I get just over 10% per hour on my Trophy LR. So 4 hours equals 42%

Not very helpful, is it? I think the instructions and illustrations in this thread are much more useful than the manual, and far more precise. Asking us to adjust between 50mm and 300mm down is in 'how long is a piece of string' territory. And I agree that H of 850mm looks high

New amazing feature of R46! When I am doing scheduled charging, the charging screen in the car now shows the correct time when charging will start. It always used to say start time 00.00 regardless.

3 inches over 25ft is 1%, so is an equally valid rule of thumb. The calculation is trivial: 25ft is 300 inches, and 3:300 is 1%. (So your 17.5cm should read 10cm.)

One of the things you discover when you play the game is how few yellow cars there are. Maybe that's a good reason for buying the yellow MG.

The whole point about yellow cars is that they have to be driven by other people. This enables you to play the game invented by the sketch show Cabin Pressure, called - you guessed it - Yellow Car. If you own a yellow car yourself, it makes playing the game harder. .

For what it's worth, here is the left hand beam only: Interesting how much brighter it is pointing straight ahead - almost like high beam.

The difference I am talking about is in the left section of the left beam. I have taken your drawings, and added the left extension in green. As you can see (top pic), my beam continues left at the same height as the left 'step up' = your blue line. However, Bricktop1987's left beam seems to...

Interesting . . . Here is my equivalent picture, which appears to be the same for the right headlight, but different for the left:
