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...

I have done the same after reversing back (handbrake off automatically) and then putting it in drive. Except I obviously didn't turn it all the way and found myself going forward down a slight hill in neutral. Not a dangerous place in that case, but I do look down and check D is lit these days...

FYI - mentioning the AEB tech bulletin from March 2024 got me an update to the AEB module and infotainment (assuming they are separate modules). Confirming the infotainment update because I now have the button to turn off ELK when I pull down on the right of the screen (plus also had to re-apply...

Please note anyone who has a 2023 model (and early 2024) which hasn't been updated that there is a tech bulletin specific for AEB, but probably also handles LKA Bulletin “# AS-TEC-07022024-01” Subject “MG4 AEB Software Update” Author “Technical Dept” Date “7th February 2024” I picked this up...

It's a shame there isn't a dealer in Grafton. You may be better off with a smaller dealer like Lismore. I find that even with yearly visits in the past, it's never the same person when you go back to big dealers. High turnover of staff. Back in the big smoke it looks like I have a choice of 14...

Looks like they charged you for the software update. Is it in the itemised bill? I paid the advertised $296 without a software update. Trying to get that done as part of the charging light fix, though they are being very unhelpful e.g. promising to call back and don't. Will call them again today...

Just had my 2 year 40k service at Pennant Hills MG. FYI - only 17k km driven. Nice enough people, but my learning from the experience - I booked using the MG online system. Tried to call a few times to confirm, but the phone wasn't answered. I found that my request to have the under tray bulge...
