Hello, I recently changed my car from an MG4 Extended Range to an IM5 Long Range. The car is great and I am still working my way through some of the niceties of the software. It is very quiet and in rural Cornwall it is doing on average around 4.2 miles per Kw. However the one thing I have...

MG MG4 77kWh Trophy Extended Range Hatchback 2023 (73 reg) 5dr Electric Auto Holborn Blue Exterior, Black Roof, Black Interior with Blue stitching, 19K miles, MG warranty until 20/12/28, MOT 21/12/26, Battery Range 329 Miles, 18" wheels, Heated Front Seats and Heated Steering Wheel, Rear Wiper...

Just been advised by the dealer that the car is now pushed back to end of March from end of Feb. What is going on at MG?

Hi Nigel, Woah! what a carry on. Have Hawkins got to the root of the problem? Any idea yet what you/they are going to do. Do you need the extra range of the LR, rather than the performance of the performance car?

Thanks Nigel, but I best not. Being an MG enthusiast (had a couple of MGB's 20+ years ago), I feel it is a pity that the IM does not have the MG octagon on the front like the MG4's (I know all the reasons why, - MG marketing the sub brand etc), but I still believe that it would look better than...

Hi Nigel, Yes I agree with you that Hawkins seem as frustrated as their customers. There doesn't appear to be a good system between MG and the dealers. Shame really you would have thought it would be better so as to enhance the customer experience when you contact them asking for shipping...

Hi Nigel, Like you I chased them continuously to get some shipping info, and yesterday was the first time Hawkins had any concrete information to give me. I hope you do not have to wait until the ship that my order is on, to get delivery of your car. What colour combination did you order?

I have finally been advised by the dealer in Cornwall that the IM5 LR that I ordered last September will be arriving in Avonmouth around the 23rd/24th of February. I am approaching the arrival of the IM5 with both excitement and trepidation. Excitement because it is a new offering from MG with...

Hello Folks, Just a quick update on the delivery of my IM5 Long Range. The car was ordered around the end of September in Nevis Blue with a Grey Interior. Up until last week I heard nothing from the MG dealer in Cornwall, so I decided to contact them myself directly. At first, all they would...

I placed an order end of September for an IM5 Long Range in Nevis Blue/grey interior from my local dealer in Cornwall, using a PCP plan and also the Affinity discount. They advised that delivery would be around the end of November though it could be sooner. Hope that helps

Hello Everybody, Planning a trip in the near future, and was just wondering if it is ok to charge our MG4 ER on a Gridserve 350Kw charger? Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks Joules, the Michelin Cross Climates seem favourite so far. The Touranza's are very noisy, which is made worse by the quality of a lot of the roads in Cornwall. Not really keen on OPD, but saying that, have not given it along try. Though living in Cornwall, I am originally from Glasgow...

Hi Folks, has anybody found a good alternative to Bridgestone Touranza T005's R18 my Trophy ER was fitted with. I will need to change the rears maybe next month so wondering if anybody had any suggestions. The rears have done just shy of 14K miles.

Yes I really like the Holborn Blue on my MG4 ER as well. It is a popular colour so I wonder if MG will re-issue the colour but make it a chargeable option colour on non Xpower cars.

We also have a large number of CDs, so we bought this USB CD player from Amazon which works fine in our MG4 ER. https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0C2C46P64?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title
