    Correct procedure (stopping at traffic lights)

    Autohold doesn't apply the handbrake initially, it works in similar way to the hill hold. As others have said it will apply the parking brake after few minutes of non movement.

    Charging Issue

    It should be set to AC current, which means it will take upto 7kw

    Correct procedure (stopping at traffic lights)

    That's too complicated for me, I'd probably put it into reverse by mistake. At least the Autohold stays active in the MG, in the Kia I had before you had to switch it on for every journey. The number of times I forgot and the car started to move after I relaesed the brake pedal.

    Correct procedure (stopping at traffic lights)

    Yes, but the whole system is called Auto hold, it keeps the standard brakes applied, not the parking brake (the parking brake light doesn't illuminate).

    Correct procedure (stopping at traffic lights)

    The MG4 manual suggests using Autohold at traffic lights and says the following on how to use it. I didn't realise pressing the brake again released autohold.

    That's Autohold.

    I've joined the black badge club

    How do the fangs attach, do you need to remove any trim or do they just stick on?

    Wos, that's about 6 months of electricity for me.

    Dealer charging £140 to diagnose a problem

    It's quite a common thing, I had it was mentioned for my Kia when the clutch pack failed. The fee wasn't charged as it was a warranty fix.

    Are "self charging hybrids" more economical?

    Yes, 100% they are more economical, not the Mild Hybrid type, but full hybrid yes. I've looked at and test drove a Toyota Corolla, a very clever bit of engineering.

    Plastic ‘aero’ wheel trims

    Are these a different design to the ones on the MG4, I've taken a couple off and put them back on and they were quite easy if you pull them through the holes round the edge of the trim.

    Holborn blue is no more

    I'm sure the Orange has never been available for the SE.

    The Orange is still showing on the UK website.

    Holborn blue is no more

    Just noticed on the MG website that Holborn blue is no longer a colour option on the MG4, what a shame I really like mine.

    Should I be worried about the number of used MG4s around at the moment?

    I took advantage of the glut of second hand cars and got a 15 month old Trophy for £15k less than new. So far I'm very happy with the car, love the way it drives and haven't really had any issues. I only do 6000 miles a year but I reckon home charging will save me £1000 a year compared to...
