    Squealing brakes and reverse speed

    I have this problem with my MG4 Xpower and have been given the ‘slight development of rust whilst static in a humid atmosphere’ response. It is deafening, but so far the neighbours have not complained. It happened throughout winter last year and restarted once the weather got cold and wet again...

    Cold weather mileage.

    I topped my car up last night for a long journey today. At 95% last night it was predicting a range of 185 miles. This morning at 100% the predicted range is 189 miles. It is cold (5°C) this morning but this range seems excessively depressed. My XPower is one year old and I don’t remember it...

    Speed Recognition

    After 7 months of MG trying to make my XPower safe to drive, I had a final software update in August which made my speed recognition tolerable. Sorry I don’t know the number of the update but other replies have mentioned update numbers which may help. I would definitely recommend getting you...

    Finally given up!

    Good luck with Santander. They pressured me to let them pursue the claim - 8 months later they paid me compensation….. £11.24!

    Finally given up!

    I fully recognise your experience. After 8 months trying to resolve my various problems with a new XPower, I have concluded MG will never receive custom from me again. The dealership tried hard to resolve things but MG were unhelpful, uncommunicative and dismissive of both the dealership and me...

    MG - The UK's No1 Chinese Car Company (Auto Express)

    It’s only a couple of weeks since they were announced as the worst company for a dealership to attach themselves to.

    Public charging glitches

    Apple Pay is my default system, but I keep Mastercard, Amex, Visa debit, Monzo and Zapmap card with me to maximise the chance of success. I’ve never been convinced that the bank is the problem. The 10+ charges for £1 that appear in the various accounts during a session of frustration indicate...

    Public charging glitches

    Sounds like a grim experience. I asked my dealership who claim to have heard of no such problems. BPPulse are off my list for ever but I have had success with various other providers. I have started a spreadsheet to record my public charging success rate

    Should I be worried?

    I bought my XPower December 2024, I reported the first problem 2 days later and it was not fully functioning until September this year. There have been hours on the phone, a total of over 3 months in the workshop, becoming familiar with various inferior courtesy cars etc. not to mention totally...

    Thanks everyone. That’s all very encouraging- I must try harder.

    Public charging glitches

    Hi all, I’m driving South from Scotland and experiencing multiple problems connecting to different charging networks. I’ve been driving an EV for 5 years so have some experience of public charging, but my ‘new’ MG4 XPower has taken 8 months in the workshop becoming drivable, so I’ve limited...

    Public Charging - what do I need?

    Not just Australia! My patience with BP pulse in the UK is now exhausted. Is this a common status? Do they not like MGs or are they just generally rubbish? Tesla a great if you are near one, always my number 1 choice. Have had good experiences with InstaVolt and GRIDSERVE although I regard them...

    New MG4 Owner 😊

    it’s great to hear so many people loving their 4. I seem to have bought lemon 4 weeks ago and MG are currently engaged in trying to make it work properly. Your positive comments give me hope that one day I might love this albatross. The handling and drive seem good but all my auxiliary...

    Mystery symbol in message centre pop up window

    Many thanks. We've got a long drive to Scotland this week. It should give some opportunities for my passenger to take a pic. Thanks for that, but not my symbol. I can see what you mean about the foot to the pedal looking like a car, but I'm 90% sure it was a car and that the SLOW DOWN was on...

    Mystery symbol in message centre pop up window

    You’re certainly right about the mileage. Averaged 4mi/KwH in the Tesla over 50K miles. So far the Xpower is only giving 2.6 mi/KWH. Thanks for that. The position on the screen is correct, but not the symbol. My symbol has a car in the middle and the words SLOW DOWN to the left.
