@salty @Tuareg the MG4 radio sounds fine, it doesn’t work fine. It’s the user interface that’s daft. Try these tests from simple to more complex: Select 107.1 MHz while driving. Save a frequency with a station, then drive to the edge of the station’s coverage area and try to recall that...

The radio is terrible. Really really bad. So much so I’d say it essentially doesn’t work on FM. Of course there is no AM but ignoring that the tuner is useless. I listen to weaker LPFM stations and even though I have them as favourites, the radio won’t present them if it thinks they’re too weak...

Insurance replacement free of charge on my policy. Took three weeks from a new screen to come in from China.

Yes! Twice, within one month of replacement. Only have the one image of the original crack:

Why would you do anything different from what you'd do with an ICE auto transmission?

MG4 owner here. It seems totally camera driven. It will react to anything that looks like a speed sign. Including the defunct speed sign on my own 900m long driveway which we have propped up as a joke. Also we have in NZ lots of speed changes on roads due to a political ideology clash between...

Whole new definition of a “used car”. Can people stop complaining now?

Note that Pod Point say that they do participate in peak shaving with at least BG subs. This means that when there is a high demand for electricity nationwide and wholesale prices spike they can reduce EV charging even if your house supply is still on. On top of that there is the scheduled...

I guess then it is like ripple controlled water heating, when the wholesale price of electricity is high suppliers on thin margins need to cut supply to avoid making a loss. You can do that with non essential loads like charging or hot water. I would think it would be just for an hour or so.

I live in New Zealand so no idea about that charging chain but my experience so far is that certain charging machine types (not necessarily related to the operator) have their own bugs. It’s not always the fault of the MG4. From time to time some machines fail. Did you try another charging bay...

Same here as Ian, I want fresh air. I do go to re-circ when stuck behind a smelly truck or before using the wiper spray as I don’t like the smell of the water additive. Normally no issues with misting. In extreme cases the demist button might be needed for a few minutes.

@the happy bunny Agree, there is much to be learned from the whole thread.

One of the reasons this thread is long is that people are trying to solve their own issue and diluting the discovery process. A long thread is not necessarily bad, reading the thread is education in itself. Not being aware of the trial and error process that is advancing the knowledge base...

You don’t have to disable it completely. There is a wee switch on the left hand stalk, slide to the left and it sets lights to manual, the display briefly says something like “automatic lights off”.

Honestly? It’s in the A/C screen. Icon looks like the image on the left, tap it until it changes to the image on the right:
