Speed limiter? There is an over speed warning that you set yourself. Otherwise that is what setting the ACC speed does. It does tend to slow you down earlier than you probably would when driving without it on but that is what safety systems do. They are much more conservative than most drivers.

It looks a bit better than the original Mr Blobby MG4 they were to produce for the Chinese market but the current MG4 Essence 64/77 (Trophy in UK) looks much sharper and more stylish than this Urban though it did not appeal to the Chinese. Also the FWD drive puts me off though it does provide a...

Thanks for that. It must just keep trying as it usually is connected within 30 seconds of the Infotainment system coming fully on line.

I am curious as to why dongles need a delayed startup or is this just with IOS? I bought a XUDA dongle from Ali Express for $6.48 & installation was just plug it in, pair with the phone & that's it with Anfroid Auto. It only uses bluetooth to set up direct WiFi between the phone & car. It just...

I just bought one from Ali Express. It cost a whole $6.48 & because I didn't spend $15.00 another $3.00 postage, so under $AU10.00. Installation could not have been simpler. Turn the car on, plug it in to the USB A port & it appeared on the Infotainment screen. Pair it with the phone & that's...

Software updates were a standard part of the MG service till about late September 2025. My MG4 was booked for its first 40,000 km service somewhere around that time and the schedule specified "All Software Updates". When it actually went in some time in October, MG had told all its dealers that...

As someone has already mentioned modern cars and especially EVs are computers with wheels. I spent most of my life in the information technology sector & when PCs appeared in the 1980s with complex graphical user inputs and point and click devices, bugs kept popping up and after a long period of...

Why import over 11kW unless this is during the free period.? Would it not be better to reduce the charging level of the car or battery or both so you are not importing energy & having to pay or it. If it is a good sunny day the charging would take a lot longer but if you are not planning on...

I have paid nothing for months for energy. When we moved in August I had a $50.00 credit with Evie which they gave me for some reason & their supercharger was just up the road. That got me through till I installed my ZJBeny 7kW wall charger & charged during the 2 hour free period each day (12:00...

The original Excite 51 in Australia had 17 inch Continental tyres and the Essence 64 & 77 models had 18 inch Bridgestone Turanzas. AFAIK that is still the same.

The NMC charge to 80% unless you are going on a long trip advice from MG and many other manufacturers seems to be largely a myth. The only issue is that don't charge to 100% and leave the vehicle fully charged for weeks on end, otherwise there will be little effect on the batteries performance...

I have done several trips from my old home in Corindi Beach, NSW to Noosa QLD, about 500km mostly at 110kmh with some 100kmh & traffic holdups especially on the Gold Coast. My regular stop in the BP at Coomera, 300km away and I still have about 30% battery left. Topping up at the 150kW chargers...

I recently installed 20 x 440 watt bi-facial solar panels, a Fox ESS 10kW hybrid inverter and an 18.64 kWh battery. I have a ZJbeny 32 amp single phase charger. I charge my MG4 and my 80 volt zero turn ride on mower exclusively from solar. Even though I get free energy from the grid every day...

The damage is the panel behind the rear door & about the size of a large dinner plate. Missed the door by only a couple of millimetres. From what I have seen of modern car manufacture that is part of a single pressing of the entire side so either they get a piece & weld it in or beat it out...

On 21st of October a bloke in a Mitsubishi Triton Ute went through a give way sign & hit me damaging the right hand rear panel & bumper. It is all on my dashcam. He admitted liability up front & the insurance company immediately absolved me of any costs etc. All good until it came to the...
