    MG4 2023 driver seat material degradation cracks

    I do agree that it will differ from person to person and the load placed on the seat bolster has an effect on the rate of material cracking, but honestly they should be able to withstand average use from an average sized person without splitting and cracking appearing this early in the life of...

    Handfree closing tailgate

    You can set the “opening” height to be lower than the factory default of “fully open” if that helps your wife, if she is a regular user 🤷🏻. This is fine of course, as long as you are not tall of course, when you could end up banging your head on the tail gate itself 😵‍💫.

    MG4 2023 driver seat material degradation cracks

    Very likely to be affected by the adverse cold temperatures as well then 🤣. Generally just poor quality material used anyway! If you cut too many corners, you then just end up with a constant circle ⭕️ of bombardment of complaints from unhappy customers that will affect future sales.

    MG4 2023 driver seat material degradation cracks

    I have a bit of theory on what could be a mitigating factor 🤷🏻. I think the plastic / vinyl content in this material is extremely high. In the summer months, the cabin temperature in our previous ZS EV ( when parked in direct sun light ) reached over 45 degrees. This high and sustained /...

    Parasitic drain on 12V battery

    This good news at last !. I am just very curious on how they suddenly decided it was the CCU was the reason for the parasitic drain after all of this time, or is this just a stab in the dark without any clear evidence of diagnosis. Had they proven the drain via an amp clamp, then when they...

    MG iSmart: odd range & percent issue

    I would suggest that owner in the OP has reset the trips, if the predicted range after a 80% charge is around 222 - 224 miles 🤷🏻. More predicted range after a 80% charge, would likely indicate a higher or lower range, depending on the historical data stored by the car. Resetting the trips will...

    MG4 2023 driver seat material degradation cracks

    Yeah, the pleather is certainly the issue here. I agree, that fitting seat covers do offer a lot of protection to the factory material. However I do feel it’s a really shame that we have to over cover the factory seats 💺 just because the factory materials are really not fit for purpose. Fitting...

    Public Charging MGS5

    If you are AC charging at a public charger, then I believe the car is going to max out at 7kW. So there is absolutely no advantage in trying to gaining time, by using a higher rated A/C post. Other than annoying other EV drivers who can exploit the higher powered type 2 posts. If speed is the...

    MG4 2023 driver seat material degradation cracks

    There has been very similar issues with the front seats 💺 on the ZS EV Gen2 Trophy model. This has been covered at length on the ZS EV forum pages. It’s been a very similar responce from MG CS with regards to complaints, there not interested. When we sold our 3 year old ZS EV LR it had only...

    Battery balancing. No

    On our previous ZS EV in the charging section ( in the head unit ) under the settings for delayed charging times. I do remember seeing a slide button, that when selected, it would allow the car to continue charging AFTER the selected off peak rate had ended. Saved messing about with your normal...

    Surprising behaviour

    It probably can, until the car is closed down, then it does need the key again to restart it.

    MG pilot shortcut button

    I don’t think the shortcut buttons on the steering wheel can be set up to select your own personal MG Pilot settings. They tend to be utilised for selecting Regen strength and climate control etc. You have to swipe down on the head unit screen and press the MG Pilot button and then confirm your...

    IMMEDIATE ATTENTION - Replacement Brake Pads

    As long as you got the necessary result, it’s still a job well done and a lot of cash saved over dealer prices 👍. Tell me, so you pushed back the pistons and replaced the pads. How did you find pumping up the footbrake after ?. Did you do it BEFORE connecting up the battery, or did you have to...
