    How low is too low?

    Perfect answer without all of the paranoia on charging to 100%. 😀. Probably the only thing I would add is where possible and for the long term health of the battery, charge at the slowest speed that works in your situation, again without being paranoid. Constant usage of fast DC charging over...

    Towbar in Australia?

    I had mine fitted by the dealer and it's the genuine MG supplied item. Couldn't be happier with it. Don't stress about the cut out it's not anything structural or part of the bumper. You won't even notice it. I use mine to take bikes. Main reason to go with MG one is there can be no debate ever...

    MG4 LR 2024 issues.

    wow sounds like a very unlucky run for you two. Albeit not in the UK, I have the MG4 LR and couldn't be happier. It has what I would call minor software issues and from what I hear and see from pretty much every other owner of non MG4's electric or non electric, the software issues in terms of...

    MG4 LR 2024 issues.

    Not wanting to state the obvious but. 1. ensure you are using the left usb plug not the one on the right or rear of the car 2. The compatibility is not all down to the car but the versions of the MG's AA and also the phones AA version. I would try to eliminate some variables by using different...

    Mg4 Windscreen Reflection Issue

    I havnt had any issues but also have had a dash mat fitted very early on. I would also add that here in west Oz our sun is very bright for many hrs of the day. We have had pretty much zero mm of rain since Oct last year. Also tinting the front two side windows makes a massive diff to heat and glare.

    MG4 LR 2024 issues.

    Totally agree. I have now put 15,000kms on my LR since sept. All updates applied and dealer here in my Aust city very proactive. No issues and love the car incl it's range (warmer climate here may of course be a massive benefit on range as is our relatively flat landscap). Not used a public...

    Scratches on paint

    I have used a sign wrap but yeh, matt, gloss or even a different colour. If you go into a local shop, they will often sell cheap prices off a roll and you don't need much for the small areas on the car. I recently wrapped a whole mtb frame this way in clear for $20. And I have zero training in...

    MG4 towbar warranty

    Collision detection is disabled and i think LKA also disabled. To be honest I don't bother enabling towing mode and put up with the alarm sounding whilst reversing and display showing the warning on the screen. As soon as you put in D the alarms stop and car is as usual for LKA and collision...

    Disabling built in SIM

    Thanks that may be a start :) just not sure what disabling would affect in terms of the functionality when driving? not super clear is it. I will try and see what it obviously disables. Whos to say if it still sends some data.ahh I think you have actually missed my point entirely :(

    Disabling built in SIM

    @Burgo - Its my data so I should choose what and who to share it with.. You don't need to drive like a nutter for the information that a car company is now sharing to data mining companies to be misused or misinterpreted. Some manufacturers are providing this data and its making its way to...

    Disabling built in SIM

    Given the recent US articles where car manufacturers are now supplying vehicle data to insurance companies and it is having a real impact on a persons premiums (speed, braking, mileage etc). I was wondering if there is a way to disable the in car sim which I assume is the way vehicle data makes...
