wheel

A wheel is a circular component that is intended to rotate on an axle bearing. The wheel is one of the key components of the wheel and axle which is one of the six simple machines. Wheels, in conjunction with axles, allow heavy objects to be moved easily facilitating movement or transportation while supporting a load, or performing labor in machines. Wheels are also used for other purposes, such as a ship's wheel, steering wheel, potter's wheel, and flywheel.
Common examples can be found in transport applications. A wheel reduces friction by facilitating motion by rolling together with the use of axles. In order for wheels to rotate, a moment needs to be applied to the wheel about its axis, either by way of gravity or by the application of another external force or torque. Using the wheel, Sumerians invented a device that spins clay as a potter shapes it into the desired object.

    Wheel arch trim - Replacement?

    Hello, I scratched my wheel arch trim on the front right side of our MG ZS EV (FL). The part is 20£. Does anyone have experience with the replacement? It is difficult? What tools are needed (I saw a few clips)? Bye.

    Steel spare wheel bolt length

    Do the alloy wheel bolts work ok with a steel spare? Looking into space saver. VW group kits much cheaper than MG but obviously need radius bolts. Would anyone have the thread lengths please, M12x1.5.

    Silly question, Does the facelift come with a Jack?

    Hi all, Silly question and I know I should have checked when I was in buying it, but does the facelift car come with a jack and wheel brace as well as the tyre repair kit, or not? Just need to know whether I ned to buy a full spare wheel kit, or just a wheel. Thanks.

    Train TPMS on wheel location

    I bought this tool for the Mrs Vauxhall to train the car to know which wheel is on which corner, is there an equivalent process for the MG ZS? If the wheels have been moved around due to getting the tyres replaced do we need to train the car or does it know automatically the tyre position?

    Wheel Nuts - one feels loose on each wheel

    Hello all, New MG3 hybrid owner, got about 1,000miles on the clock. Noticed today that one of the lug nuts on each wheel looks more extended out than the others and I can rotate that particular one by hand on each wheel. Is this part of the design? The fact that it's one per wheel makes it...

    Wheel size too small?

    Hi! I tried changing to winter wheels today on my MG4 trophy extended range. The winter wheels are 215/50 R17 size and seem to be pressing down on the calipers in the front. Is this size too small? Manual tells me it should be good. Thanks in advance.

    Steering wheel - peeling/flaking "leather".

    Will post some photos soon. We've had our (second hand) 72 plate ZS EV Long Range since February. We bought it with 14k on the clock and it's currently at 20k. It's generally been problem free. However a couple of months ago, we noticed the false leather coating which covers most of the...

    Steering wheel switch (left) reset

    Hi all Every now and then (sometimes every day, sometimes only once now and then) the left hand switch on the steering wheel will lose its function (ie be reset to no function) and I have to go into convenience in the menu and reset it. Anyone else have this issue?

    Archived MG5 spare wheel & new tyre

    I bought it from someone here when I bought the pre-facelift MG5 and it has never been used. It fits in the spare wheel well. I've no idea if it will fit the new MG5 I am collecting next week but I no longer need it. It isn't MG but is, I think, a Volkswagen/Audi part but I was assured it will...

    Would anyone be interested in a wheel swap?

    I'm thinking about getting a new MG5 Trophy, but don't like the wheels. Would anyone with a nearly new SE with unmarked wheels be interested in a free Trophy wheel upgrade by swapping wheels with myself if I get one? You would need to be within a reasonable driving distance of DN37, and I'd...

    Rear wheel bias on dual motor?

    Hi All, Just joined the forum and enjoyed catching up on the link to the videos of the cyberster. Does anyone know if the GT dual motor is still rear bias? Looking at both models, tempted by the trophy single motor with it's rear wheel drive rather then 4 wheel drive. Anyone driven them back...

    MG4 Ticking/Rattling Noise Coming From Behind The Steering Wheel

    Hello, my car is an MG4 Luxury with 21,000 km on it. At 20,000 km, a ticking noise started coming from behind the steering wheel. The noise appears at around 15 km/h and becomes inaudible at 60 km/h. It is definitely not a trim noise; it's a mechanical sound, but I haven't been able to figure...

    Decorative Skin

    I've noticed the decorative skin/film over the shiny black parts of the steering wheel are bubbling; and in one area the edge of the trim is breaking up. Before I make a complete idiot of myself, can anyone confirm that this 'film' is or isn't permanent, and could be peeled off, like, say, the...

    Aero wheel cover won't stay on

    I picked up a new MG4 LR Trophy last week. I noticed that the offside rear wheel cover wasn't on properly. I wish now I'd mentioned it to the dealer but I just pushed it back on and drove home. When I arrived home the cover was close to falling off completely. Since then I have tried many...
