That's interesting that they 'only do the updates if a customer complains' because my dealer (Holden Norwich) said if I refused to have them done, it would invalidate the warranty!

I do get this quite a bit. It seems to be the car hasn’t fully booted. What I do now is press the remote to open the car before I’ve even opened the front door of the house, lock the house, amble to the car, get in, seat belt, press the brake once both screens are waiting to go. Doesn’t do it...

To be perfectly clear, I never use LKA or any of the other rubbish they put in the software (including the satnav which is a joke) after the MG4 I drive nearly launched me into an oncoming bus and then did an emergency stop about 300m further down the road with zero visible anything. I ALWAYS...

I use a MyEnergi Zappi, 15kW of solar PV and 38kWh of battery storage, it is a tethered unit but my cable goes up and over the shutter door so it's never in the way. I have to do long trips at very short notice and as a consequence, my MG4 Trophy is usually fully charged to 100% at home. I...

Yeah, I saw that, thanks.

Thanks for that but again, I would like nothing other than a proper wheel, not gunk, not space saver, proper alloy wheel. When I last spoke to my dealer, he said he could not get a spare alloy, I will go there again.

I’m not interested in repair kits, tyre weld or any other ‘fix’, I just want a spare wheel, so, bearing that in mind, does ANYONE know where I can buy the correct pattern alloy wheel from please? Sometimes the ‘old ways’ are actually the best rather than some cheap and nasty repair system that...

And that, my friend, is why I want a 'proper' spare wheel.

Does anyone have a clue where I could buy an MG4 Trophy wheel from, dealer says no ? Can't find a matching wheel pattern anywhere. I really don't want to have to buy a set of five. I WANT a spare wheel, not some useless gunk and a stupid little compressor!

I have the MG4 Trophy long range and my LKA stays off. Do this: Go into the info system, select the car in the bottom right hand corner and set everything as you want it. When you've done this, turn ON towing mode. LKA will stay off but you will still need to turn off traffic sign...

I'm not convinced 4.8W is anywhere near enough. I have a 20W solar PV I leave in the window facing south when I leave it for extended periods (like 3 months at a time) and that only just keeps the battery at 12 V. No camera on that. When I have the camera in, I use 2 x 20W panels.

I had to get the dealer to release the binding from the employee that had used when he borrowed the car over the weekend. (Mine was an ex demo)

I use voice on mine. Either 'I'm too hot' or 'I'm too cold' and it puts the heat up and down accordingly.

Yep. Same as you 80% increase, more when compared elsewhere. According to my insurance company, EV's are more expensive to repair! I'd love to see them justify that ?

I have an MG4 Trophy and Octopus had plunge pricing last night (22/12/2023) so I charged mine on a Zappi. Over some five hours it charged to 100%. Am I right in thinking that on public fast chargers, the last bit slows down considerably and from 80% to 100% is like 3 hours?
