    Goodbye to my MG4, a cautionary tale

    I know you don't want to sound aggressive Nik, however you are misinformed. I took time to choose the car I really wanted, and after watching numerous videos, reading Which Car reports , and going out and test driving vehicles, I personally chose the car I wanted then contacted the leasing...

    Goodbye to my MG4, a cautionary tale

    I agree Jonny PCP worked well enough for me over the years when I could change my car every two years with a trade in contribution to my next car. With the massive depreciation we are seeing now, leasing is a much superior option.

    Goodbye to my MG4, a cautionary tale

    Hi Niki. The problem is that I would be paying £300 a month for a two year old MG4 for the next two years before handing it back. Although taking out a 4 year PCP and changing my car every two years before, the high depreciation has now removed that option. The price I've quoted is the lease...

    Goodbye to my MG4, a cautionary tale

    I have a similar story though 17,000 on clock. Bought MG4 Trophy LR Nov 2023, settlement figure £19,589.65, trade in value now £14,050.

    MG4 Trophy LED Centre Tail Light Bar Repair

    Sounds great. Is it easy to get someone to fit it as my arthritic hands won't manage it?

    MG4 Trophy LED Centre Tail Light Bar Repair

    Good advice Anon70, unfortunately I got distracted when reversing to turn around and stupidly hit a lamppost. My wife said I should hand back my licence and book into a care home rather than get a new car. :)

    What is the point of the MG app?

    Love it W12Lad, made me laugh out loud. I love my MG4, and through this forum I get advice on niggly things that cause me issues. Sparky2 makes me wonder why someone who hates EV's and technology so much purchased one in the first place, and why he joined a community of MG Electric Vehicle...

    MG4 Trophy LED Centre Tail Light Bar Repair

    My MG4 Trophy has come to the end of it's lease and I am organising a new one to be delivered. Problem is there is a crack in the LED Center Tail Light Bar. Any ideas on the least expensive repair/replacement? If I hand it back like this the leasing company will most likely charge me a fortune.

    What is the point of the MG app?

    Yes it is better, however you're not wrong in your sentiment, I used it and it is a waste of time. I also gave up on Apple Play as it was forever disconnecting, and now I have to re-pair blue tooth every time I get in the car as it never remembers my iPhone. In my bluetooth I have had to...

    It's not possible to miss something you haven't used. You can use something stop using it and then miss it or not. 🙂

    When I attempt to pre-heat my MG4 Trophy, I am now getting an error message. How do I solve this issue? “Please make sure the vehicle is in P Gear (33)”
