    I hate my MG4!

    I've had my MG4 Trophy 15 months and would like to redress the balance by saying how pleased I am with it, perhaps my expectations are too low. I particularly like the charged range. I have had two faults, one current. The lights stayed on one night and flattened the 12 volt, why?? not recurred...

    Lane assist help

    LKA is a nuisance where I live - country lanes. I always disable it but if the lights are on auto and switch themselves on or off it is re-enabled. The dealer told me it is the law to have LKA default on. True?

    Cannot manually unlock door using physical key

    I posted my experience a while back, flat 12v battery. I couldn't get the mechanical key to work. The AA sorted it for me.

    Charging MG 4Trophy

    I have been charging my MG4 with Podpoint home charger for a year. I usually get 7kW monitored on my home smart meter monitor. Main problem I have posted elsewhere is weak & variable WiFi signal at the charge point. Sometimes works but if not, I use the MG4 in car schedule charging to get the...

    I hate my MG4!

    I have had my MG4 Trophy ER since Sept 2023 and am basically very pleased with it. I think most of Charlie T's complaints are on the trivial side. I have only had one real problem with mine. The lights failed to turn off when car locked and flattened the 12v, not happened again. Agree some minor...

    Help ..... charging problem

    That’s unfortunate, I log charging myself and keep a spreadsheet but stored data would be more convenient. Thanks for reply.

    Help ..... charging problem

    Does the MG4 on-board computer keep a past record of charging data? If so, how can I access it?

    Another infrastructure rant!

    I used Gridserve at Severn View last year, good and easy. Used same one last week, would not accept card payment. Eventually charged by moving to next charge point suggested by another user. Right waste of time. A week later Gridserve at Trowell services, would not charge and unable to remove...

    Help ..... charging problem

    I've had a right game with charging. We have Pod Point home charger and are on Octopus Go. I could not get scheduled charges on Pod Point to work to take advantage of the Octopus night rate. A kind person on the forum gave me the following prescription for in-car scheduled charging which worked...

    Stupid, stupid, stupid

    Happened to me AA got into car with manual key. 12V flat, ok when recharged. 2 questions why don’t lights switch off when car locked? Also why didn’t HV battery recharge 12V?

    Software version (where to find)

    Just booked my first year check. Dealer said it would be tyres, lights & safety. When asked about computer update he said they were not authorised to do them.

    Batteries : MG4 SE SR versus Trophy LR

    Well pleased with our Trophy ER. Got 411 miles range after home charge recently. See other thread for only problem so far (12v flat). Minor irritation: narrow lanes round us so lane assist is a pain and prefer disabled. But when auto lights are on (preferred) if they switch on or off, lane...

    Leaving the car unlocked

    MG4 I left my lights on overnight. Saw them next morning but they went out while getting key and car would not unlock. Unable to work out manual unlock but AA did. 12v battery flat. Recharged, no problem since except paranoid about leaving lights on again. Not sure what setting lights were on...
