    MG4 Extended Range/Zappi 2 charging issue

    Have you tried another EVSE? Do you have a granny charger to try with? If the car does not charge with those then it is likely the car has a problem. If it charges then the Zappi has an issue. I am not on IOG but I understand you need the Octopus app. Have you disconnected it from the Zappi...

    MG4 Extended Range/Zappi 2 charging issue

    Just to be clear, @KosherPickle, the car stops charging even when you set the Zappi to 'Fast' charge (or whatever the setting that provides Max power and ignores octopus schedules). And that there is not a schedule set in the car not that the battery level is set low?

    Emergency Exit

    @ging353 had a problem in May/June 2024 reported in their thread ' Door failing to open ' where their car had a flat battery, they used the mechanical key to enter the car but let the door shut. They were unable to exit the car by using the door handle and were not physically able to use the...

    Slightly pathetic data limitation - 1GB, MG4 Trophy

    I am a low mileage driver with lots of short runs. I switch on the hotspot when using the car because I have a PAYG phone but I never communicate out when driving. I only use the SatNav when I need to go further afield. I never look in detail at the weather tile. I have never run out of data...

    Total loss of external lights whilst driving in the dark! - 12 volt battery failure indicator

    The Fault symbol indicates failure of the 12V battery charging system. (See attached image.) The manual says that if the 12V battery is low then the car will switch off some systems, not specified, so still having headlights working is correct. My own experiences with this battery charging...

    Centre display screen decided to have a day off!

    If I understand you correctly you started to drive before the infotainment screen had booted and thus was blank. Usually if this happens you can press and hold the home button for > 10 seconds (I think) to reboot it. It has happened to me more than a few times but the home button long press...

    Has anyone (had satellite navigation badly direct)

    I usually have the full nav screen showing so when it freezes I go to the home page and then go back and it unfreezes. There are a number of posts about the music issue. Search for a thread titled 'USB' from 2023. The MG does not support all audio codings so check the manual.

    Boot wouldn't lock ...... until......

    Even cheaper, wrap the keys in tinfoil. Does not need to be a tight fit but needs to completely surround the key so can be re-used.

    Boot wouldn't lock ...... until......

    @Badger192, do you not keep the key in a Faraday pouch to stop criminal repeater car entry? (I don't know if you can put the car into ready mode using a repeater but it might be possible )

    Good Deal ATM with Amazon on Type 2 Charging Leads 5m, 8m or 10m long

    @Gomev, the hotel is spread out and the corridors are not straight to say the least. The refurb is very good and improved it a lot but going during the refurb is trying. Refurb ends 21st December.

    Good Deal ATM with Amazon on Type 2 Charging Leads 5m, 8m or 10m long

    @Jomarkh, most Warners have chargers, usually 3kW, but not all work. At Thoresby Hall which is being upgraded to a 'Reserve' Warner hotel they were fitting 22kW chargers, presumably to replace the current 3kW ones. I do not know if the 22kW will need to be paid for but the 3kW ones have been...

    Tailgate Gas Struts

    To release the boot catch you have to press and hold the button until you hear the click. If it does not then you have a fault.

    You couldn't make this stuff up !!

    My dealer does not do map updates. I thought we have to do them ourselves. But the SatNav itself is a dealer update as far as I know.

    Navigation display on new Trophy

    Has the OP set intelligent or manual speed control?I'm not an expert on the top left icons.

    Pay per mile. Another blow for EV drivers

    After the pay-mile-tax on EVs budget, the Sunday Times LinkedIn Poll question 'Are you now more or less likely to buy an EV?' resulted in 93% 'Less' and 7% 'More'. Strange question to include 'more' (some philanthropic people out there) and no statement about sample size etc.

    Navigation display on new Trophy

    Just checked my driver's display and it showed the correct direction around a roundabout. It wasn't at a lane indicating location so I'll have to look for one of those. But my SatNav is probably an earlier version of the one the OP has given my car has not had any non-campaign updates.
