Here in OZ 90%+ of the car wash places have a bay you drive into. They provide high pressure soap hoses, a foaming brush, various rinse and liquid polish options and spot free rinse. You HAVE TO wash it yourself. There is no other option. It happens ALL THE TIME. If you can find an automatic...

We got our Blue one filthy a few days ago. We drove though a forrest on slippery dirt roads for around bend after bend in a rainstorm. The roads had a lot of clay. That is the dirtiest it has ever been. Eventually, I took it to my local car wash place and washed it myself. Three days later it...

Is this about power company supply plans in the UK? Would an international comparison be interesting? Choosing power plans here in Australia is sounds similar. We opted for the midnight to 6 a.m. low charge ($0.08/kWh on a separate circuit) for our MG4 rather than a free 2hour period for all...

When it works it is very good. MG 4 Essence 64. The issues it can have are: 1. You can’t swap from one mode to another easily if your turn indicator is on. Just when you want change because you are stopped at traffic lights. (Firmware update Wishlist item 5) 2. Digital radio doesn’t cover...

Yep. There is clearly a market for a much better design

The idea that anyone understands the process of binding an MG using the app is a fallacy. It is possible to succeed, but precisely why it works when it does or fails is entirely incomprehensible. I have long since given up. It is a useless app anyway. Mine worked for a while. Then decided...

This thread is not especially clear. Are you using a trickle charger? I use an MG home charger. I have given up on the app however. It adds very little of use. After 1130 pm. it charges as scheduled. There was a price drop before delivery so we opted to get the charger at the same time we picked...

I did change the star buttons. The Drive mode is now on the left and the HVAC system option is on the right. There is a small dialog box which allows you to adjust the temperature, and fan speed up or down using the joystick button on the right. That is why I moved the control to the right hand...

Yep, that climate control screen. 90% of the time, I don’t mind that. It is an unfortunately strange dance between climate control settings, home and (either Apple CarPlay or ) Android Auto. I would like a long press of the physical climate control button to bring up the climate settings...

I saw the article today. I note they mentioned the environmental impact of transportation of fuel. I was not sure if this actually included the full impact of: extracting oil, then transporting that by ship to the refinery (Singapore in Australia’s case, I believe) then shipping it to Sydney...

It seems to me that the software is rubbish. If the actual words, labels and the sections on the mobile app and the screen in the car are different in any way, the process is a (bad word) nightmare. To set this up properly the developer needs to have a Specific menu item on BOTH ends which is...

With the prices of MG, BYD, and Tesla dropping on a regular basis here in Australia, the depreciation of used EVs is understandable. It depends on the car ownership strategy you typically follow. I had both of my previous vehicles for 10 years. Their value at trade in time was fairly low but the...

Brixton Blue but I have to admit I like silver grey. However, about 10 years ago we lived in an apartment complex with a large underground car park. In the row belonging to our city apartment, there were 6 cars. Five of them were silver grey. So even though it’s a nice colour, we will probably...

Only on the X-power. The MG4 site shows only the colours I listed for the Excite51,64, Essence 64,77. On the MG4 X-Power site it adds the Hunter Green as a $1000 option.

The names of the colour choices are different in Australia. The range is different too. They are: Dover White Brixton Blue Metallic Diamond Red Metallic Black Pearl Metallic Volcano Orange Metallic Camden Grey Metallic Sterling Silver Metallic No Racing Green! But Silver.
