    MG4 2 speed gearbox?

    No, was a straight bit of road in the dry with good tyres. I can slip the tyres on corners by booting it so i know its not an slip. Someone mentioned ‘flux’ which probably makes sense in this level of car with a single motor.

    MG4 2 speed gearbox?

    Both sport and normal. I can’t say i noticed till i changed tyres to cross climates. Im on a 23 trophy too. Slide side note, what were your factory tyres. My car is secondhand and not sure if the tyres were swapped before delivery. That’s interesting. I had mismatched comtis with very different...

    MG4 2 speed gearbox?

    Thats not how a torque curve works though? It would just taper off. This reapplies the torque after the step. Interesting, as long as its not a sign the transmission is about to explode ill relax.

    MG4 2 speed gearbox?

    Hi, I always assumed the MG4 (trophy LR) was single speed but got new tyres installed a few weeks and now i notice foot down acceleration from junctions, at 35/40mph there is a clear step/gear change. Im confident it isn’t slip. Is the Trophy 2 speed gearbox? Edit; just found a forum post...

    MG4 only charging to 93/94%

    It was sorted by turning on and off the charging schedule. It was turning charging off at 6am. I’ve never used the scheduled charging so wasn’t my first tgought.

    Physical key?

    How many physical keys did you get with your MG4? Not the fobs, the physical metal keys. One per fob or one per car? Trying to figure out if Ive lost one.

    MG4 doesn’t always charge… why?

    I had an issue after the software updates at the first service. The onboard charger was set to a specific charge time 22.00-6.00. The real issue was the car and app all said it was turned off. I turned the feature on and off in both the car and app. That seemed to sort it.

    LKA audible alert or EPS error?!

    The main question I think I'm asking is; if I have LKA audio alerts on, should it do an alert every time it also assists steering? Background: like most people I find LKA intrusive with frequent false positives, however, I am now wondering if its actually a EPS steering position sensor fault? I...

    MG4 only charging to 93/94%

    Had my mg4(LR) in for its first service including software update recalls on Monday. Both times I have charged since, its stopped at 93/94%. My charger displays “charged” meaning the car is telling the charger its finished. I don’t use any scheduling on the car and its set to long trip mode...

    2.0 miles/kWh, normal in this cold weather? (UK)

    Edit: thanks all for the replies. Calms the anxiety on the car being a lemon. So picked up my mg4 (‘23 plate) on Thursday. I only seem to get 2.0 mi/kWh for most journeys. Sometimes after 10 mins it starts to climb but only to 2.6. Is this typical with aircon at 21°C with neg temperatures...
