Mrs OfClayton and myself have had ten happy years. Our 35th Wedding Anniversary is in July.

Yep. Two Xs in mine as well (I didn’t have the opportunity to choose). I bought it from a Yorkshire garage, so maybe Yorkshire registrations begin YX?

My wife is probably the main driver of our xpower. I suggested to her that she drives in ECO all the time. Even then, it’s still somewhat pokey. I think she’d ban me from driving it if she knew just how quick it is in SPORT. She must never find out!

Sadly, tapping didn’t work. Never mind. I can live with it until the first service. Thanks for all your inputs.

Interestingly enough, a ‘Meg’ (or sometimes a ‘Meggie’) is how people from Cleethorpes refer to themselves. Useless information for anyone outside North East Lincolnshire, but it’s my gift to you.

The main question raised by all this is: Why is the app icon for 'Electric Power Steering' displayed as a rocket?

Unfortunately, mine doesn't have the handle. It just displays the 50%. It does this in any state: door open/closed, discharging, etc. No amount of persuasion will allow me to move/drag it.

V2L adapter now works fine. Only question remaining is how to change the limit on the discharge screen. Mine is set to 50%, and there would seem to be no way of adjusting it.

Could I ask if having the MG4 serviced at a main dealer is necessary to maintain the 7-year warranty? If it's just pollen filters and so on, my local garage would be more than capable, I'm sure.

Agreed, it will be something that I rarely use. We do get quite a few power outages out here in the sticks, but they rarely last any length of time. However, I may be tempted to treat myself to a little hand held vacuum cleaner to use while charging. It'll save me carrying the big Dyson out...

Just stumbled across this on Youtube. All very easy, and will save me about 5 months road tax. Apologies if it has already been posted elsewhere on this forum.

I bought one of the eBay adaptors. Plugged it in to get a blue light on the adaptor. The charging screen on the MG4 seemed to recognise it, but when I hit 'Start Discharge', I got a message "Discharge failed - discharge cut off power is higher than . . . " etc. Just found somewhere else that...

I had a problem using the granny charger via an extension on a reel with an in-built trip. It tripped a couple of times (after a couple of hours or so). However, after unwinding the whole lead, it worked fine.

I’d be wary of charging to 100% every time. The recommendation with Xpower is to stick with 80% unless you’re planning a long trip, which keeps the battery healthy. LFP batteries don’t mind charging to 100% all the time. You’d have to look up exactly which MG4s have them.

My wife WOULD use it, but mine seems to have a fault. It’s intermittent at best. I’ve tried it with several very different phones, with no change. I should get it seen to on the warranty, but it’s too small a thing to be bothered.
