They replaced my charging port when I had the same issue, which requires dropping the battery, so I assumed they had tried the fuse before getting sign off from MG (took 2 visits after the service). However I was browsing the Facebook MG4 Owners Australia page for amusement and I noticed someone...

Regarding opening and closing, unplugging etc, when my car doesn't start charging, I get into the car and (when screen eventually fires up) click lock on the charging part of the screen, then (assuming it locks) click start charging. This is assuming that when you initiate the charge from the...

A common issue on new MG4s is that the battery clamps are not tight. Worth checking the tightness with a (I think) 10mm spanner

Interesting - slightly different scenario, but I find when I pull into the outside lane to pass the slower vehicle that caused the ACC to slow me down I have to encourage my MG4 to speed up, now that there is nothing in the way. So I would expect yours to be equally lethargic after the first...

Regarding ACC, I have tried regen A and regen 1 (after another post that said it was smoother when you hit slow traffic). Not sure if it's smoother, but my other finding is that the MG seems to use quite a narrow beam to work out the distance to the car in front, so if the car in front likes to...

Having previously lived in the UK, I understand how their country roads upset the LKA. Given the compactness of the country, there are a lot of middle income people living outside of the towns and cities where they work. Hence a lot of UK EV early adopters (which make up a large proportion of...

And we get b* all for exporting power, so we want to use it or store it, and only if we can't do that we export it. Currently in Sydney I get 8c per kWh exported (around 4p). Where as conversely in the UK, you can probably make more money exporting and then charging on a cheap rate

You have done well lasting 48k km with the added weight of the ER battery. My Sydney based LR 64, used mainly for short trips around the burbs, was forecast by the tyre shop, where I had the wheels rebalanced and aligned, to need new tyres before it hits 30k. It seems urban use with its...

I start charging manually during the day time because I'm trying to use solar, rather than overnight using a Zappi wallbox. I find sometimes I plug in and hear the locking pin deploy immediately and then when I change the Zappi to charging mode I hear the locking pin unlock. Usually it's the...

I think you have answered your own question! With 18 inch wheels / Bridgestone tyres I find I can feel 40 psi (which the tyre place inflated them to when doing a realignment/balance/rotate), but 39 psi doesn't feel much different to 37 or 38. Slightly higher is not enough to impact tyre wear and...

Have to say I always press the brake pedal the moment I get in, so that power will start flowing from the high voltage battery to the 12 volt (when it bongs and shows ready). Then all the power hungry devices are not coming straight from the 12 volt. Therefore haven't noticed the above

That's the only time I change it - when in ACC mode. Though my wife, who doesn't like cruise control has reduced it when on faster roads. When you are in the city constantly slowing down, 3 makes sense, but when on a faster road where you want a constant speed, you either need to be very precise...

Given that I have my left favourite button set to regen (and have done for the last 2 and a bit years with one software update), I asked Google AI which responded with the below You can then assign the left star button to functions like AC, Drive Mode, energy recovery, or the 360° camera by...

Only commenting because my 64 Essence is from Aug 23 and therefore the same batch, originally with the same software (though upgraded now). We have only driven from Sydney to Wollongong and Sydney to Newcastle, but that should include similar roads. My wife only had false AEB at a particular...

Just got my MG4 back after it went on a excursion to the local dealer from Monday morning to Friday afternoon to get the charging port lights fixed. They changed the charge port, as expected, which is an expensive item for a simple issue. What surprised them was that they had to drop the high...
