    Things that make you go Arrrgghhh

    People that indicate at the same time as actually making a left or right turn.... Absolutely annoying as I am now already aware your turning that direction by you actually turning. If they had done the bare minimum of a couple seconds notice with the indicator other could either be aware to slow...

    Bluetooth

    Common Issue, I have noted myself that the Car's bluetooth mac address changes every time it requests to pair again. I assume it's generating a new bluetooth mac address when the car is restarted and doesn't load its previous bluetooth settings quick enough. Sometimes turning bluetooth off and...

    Mobile phone falling onto floor

    I bought this mat from Amazon far better grip, holds my phone around sharp corners. Jimisha Anti Slip Mat It does require cutting down on one side to make it fit better. Just use the original mat as a template to cut it down.

    MG4 51 vs MG4 XPOWER (Only 5000€+)

    I wish i had the £5k for an Xpower when i got my MG4 LR :( However at that difference I would have been considering a Model 3 as well.

    Low battery pop up ?

    Have you checked the battery terminals to make sure they're nipped up and not loose.

    My initial thoughts on One Pedal Drive

    I have my Charge limit set at 80% and never have it unavailable. However last Friday I was going on a longer journey so topped it to 100%, I found once the car reach 90% I was able to select One Pedal Driving again. (I checked every 2%)

    My initial thoughts on One Pedal Drive

    I also have decided to regularly use OPD and after about 2 weeks of enabling it each time... (Trophy) I find it quite convenient/comfortable to drive with. One thing I have noticed is that it doesn't actually use the physical brakes (it will roll backwards uphill when facing downhill, less than...

    Pink fluid levels

    For the rear light just check that your expansion/drain holes are clear> If you inspect it you will find a couple of drilled holes about 1-2mm diameter. This is to allow the moisture to evaporate over time, just park with the back end in the sun and it'll dry out.

    Xpower - 12 months on

    I bought one of these Anti Slip Pads. It actually holds the phone firm as hell. I'm only in the MG4 LR so not pulling daft 0-60 times but I go around roundabouts like an idiot and my phone doesn't move. Just remove the existing "rubber/plastic" pad and cut this one to size (i cut the top edge)...

    driver seat steel frame hurts my back

    6ft4 24stone fat man here. I must admit I do not feel the seat frame. However I have only done 9000 miles so far. I do think the side cushions are a bit too soft and easy to wear out based on my ZS EV. Could probably do with a seat cover with increased padding.

    Merged thread: Automatic Emergency Braking activating for no reason

    Funnily enough this happened to me on Sunday in my MG4. popped into the supermarket and the car park entrance next to the petrol station bends back on itself (180 left turn) as it splits off to either go to one side of the car park or the other. About half way around the bend, I indicated right...

    Need help reading the consumption stats!

    Also to note Consumption will not equal actual kWh charged. If you see my example images from my car on the 8th, 16kWh "consumed", but to top it up to 80% was 19.54kWh at the charger. Thats ignoring 1.31kWh later on for the cabin preheat. I assume it's due to balancing and losses. I did 44.7...

    Is Preheating the MG3 Hybrid in Germany Illegal?

    It's technically legal. It's only a "Must Not" when leaving the vehicle to idle when your inside the house for example. If your demisting the windows for example, that would be a permissible reason to idle. After all you can't drive if you can't see, and it only takes a minute or 2 to clear.

    Irritating app.

    there are privacy notices that have to be accepted on the cars head unit. I cannot remember where you find them but they are in the car not the phone. Also don't worry about them, I used to get loads but it does nothing to the functionality.

    12V / usb / dash cam power issues

    Just be aware when using powerbanks inside a car in summer. They can get very hot and could cause a problem. Especially if you charge the power bank from the car with pass through charging. If you're swapping them out and only using it when the car's powered off, just keep the bank out of sunlight.
