Just for your info I have done a lot of searching on ebay and the battery required is an 063H and Yuasa do one it's also called a ybx5012 with a 5 year warranty for around £60 with free delivery. If you want a budget version Hankook also do one with 4 year warranty for around £40.

I tried that and most popular models it's coming up with will not fit. I guess I will have to measure the dimensions and get the highest amp hour battery in that size.

Hi there MG4 owners, I recently had a problem with my 12 volt battery and was quoted £180 by my local dealer for a replacement. I think it's got a bit more life left in it but want to be prepared to replace it. So does anyone know the correct model number or even a better replacement at a...

I picked up a Triumph Vitesse in 2 journeys. No problems at all.

I have made previous comments on this subject and fitted a Witter tow bar myself. You do need a unique wiring system. But the mechanical side isn't too difficult if you're handy with the spanners. I have used my tow hitch to pull much more than 500kg. The hitch is rated at around 1700kg and the...

Hi there MG4 owners, I am Dave from Bristol and have owned a standard range MG4 for over 2 years with very little trouble, but the other day I got in the car and the battery power bar which is normally green lit up orange. is there a reason for this. many thanks Dave.

You can't just splice the wires in, the lights won't work. I know, I tried it myself. You have to buy the specific kit and it's not cheap. You also have to run a 12V power supply from the fuse box. Sorry to give you the bad news but you're only half way through the job. Best of luck..Dave

I think I read a post a while back if you lose your blue and green charge lights you remove a fuse under the dash and then refit and it reboots the system I think it was fuse f9.give it a try.

so no replies to my question so I guess I am having to shell out £277

Hi guys I am looking to sort out my tow bar electrics this summer. And have noted that ecs are now doing an electrical kit to fit the MG4 but it is quite pricey at £277. Does anyone know of any other companies making an electrics kit for the MG4.

Hi Ian, I can give you the benefit of my experience. I bought my towbar on ebay and I think it was the supplier you mentioned. Now just to let you know I am a fairly competent mechanic, but I found fitting the bar quite easy as far as the mechanical side is concerned. I can talk you through it...

Hi there guys and gals. I just had my insurance renewal through, and they want £560 to insure my car this is £200 more than last year, seems a bit excessive any ideas where I can get a reasonable quote. Dave.

OK Will I might just check that out. It could make a tidier job than the one I have done. Many thanks. Dave.

I didn't find one. I posed this question a couple of months back and had no replies. So I spliced in on the n/s and o/s rear lights and the wire running to the rear fog. MG always planned for this car to tow so I don't understand why they didn't fit a plug in the harness like manufacturer's do...
