    MG4 Standard tyres are seriously dangerous!

    It's been interesting running with the standard tyres over the summer as in warm, dry conditions they're actually not bad at all however as the temperature is starting to drop I'm already noticing them becoming a little more unpredictable. In fact unpredictable is a good word to describe them...

    Interesting/worrying story from Scotland - ZS with no brakes.

    In the age of social media and sensationalised stories in the media why would you be surprised that people would question this? It would be ridiculous and a little daft to believe everything you read on Facebook and if I posted a story like that I would be very surprised if people didn't...

    LKA useful or a hindrance

    LKA seems OKish on Motorways and large A roads however for those of us that live in the middle of nowhere it's bloody dangerous. We have to disable ours on every start simply because it will randomly decide to try to pull us onto the nearest verge or ditch.

    Do you keep a 'charge log'? ⚡️

    Life's too short! 🤣 If I really wanted to I could check in the Ohme app but compared to running an ICE car it's so cheap I don't worry.

    Trophy Charge Limit Changes Automatically

    We've got the same issue since ours was updated. 3 or 4 times now it's reset to 100% which is annoying as we're trying to look after the battery.

    Going away for a week's holiday - do I power off the MG4 completely?

    Yep, even when the car is off! We left ours for a few weeks and checking on the app I could see the 12v battery dropping down and then a couple of days later it was back up again. Main battery dropped by 1 or 2 % but the 12v was absolutely fine when we went back to it. Our mk1 ZS on the other...

    MG4 experience

    I think that's the point, had the OP come on here to ask specific question or provide constructive feedback I'm sure he would have received help and equally constructive opinions however his very first post on this MG4 community board was a shouty rant about the car that actually quite a lot of...

    Charging from a granny lead, dangers?🔥🤔

    I'm calling bullsh*t on that! 74% of EV drivers charge using an extension and granny charger? I know quite a few EV drivers now and not a single one charges using the granny let alone with an extension lead.

    Charging from a granny lead, dangers?🔥🤔

    Always a good idea to have the wiring checked and whilst the sparky is there ask him to fit a new socket where you intend to plug in. As someone else said most issues are caused by older corroded sockets creating high resistance and therefor heat. If you're using an extension lead then you loose...

    Battery - how low have you gone?

    Lowest was 5% on a Stansted run. Not too worried though as there's now quite a few charging options on the A11.

    Android Auto - Found Good Lead

    I love Proper Job! Up until recently my Dad lived in Radstock and pretty much every time we visited I'd pop into Proper Job to stock up on little oddities I didn't even know I needed. He's now moved to Norfolk so it would be a very long drive just to get the odd cable or 2.

    Lane Keep Assist feature

    I can resist the tugging however the point is that nothing should be tugging at the wheel unless it's a last resort to prevent a crash. As an example last week I was driving down a straight single track lane near me and had forgotten to disable LKA. For absolutely no reason it suddenly decided...

    MG4 vs ZS

    We did have an auto ZS petrol when we were in the Algarve earlier this year. Compared to EV's it was slow and non-responsive however for a petrol I didn't think it was too bad. I think the one we had was the 1.0 turbo, I've heard the 1.5NA is much worse though but thankfully have never driven...

    MG4 vs ZS

    My 4 is back at the dealer for some software updates and they've given me a mk2 ZS EV as a courtesy car. Interesting being back in a ZS especially as it's a mk2 rather then the mk1 we had before. There's a few things a prefer on the ZS: Instrument cluster is nicer on the ZS. The screen is...
