    MG4 totally dead

    It happened to my MG4 Trophy, but after the software update it hasn't done it again. Sounds like they simply re-set the car rather than updating the software to me.

    MG4 wipers

    After getting hacked off with the stock wipers leaving a smered patch in the middle of the screen I bought a set of Bosch A721S wipers today. So glad I did they have made a huge improvement! Note to the unwary: I punched my reg number into the tablet thing at Halfords today and it did correctly...

    Merged thread: Automatic Emergency Braking activating for no reason

    They aren't close though, I didn't have to manuovre around them I was travelling in a straight line. Sadly I think my next car will an older one converted to EV; I love technology until it gets in my way.

    MG4 - Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) and MG Pilot

    On some of the dealer cars, such as the one I test drove the LKA once turned off stays off. Subsequent software updates have made it so that it comes back on every time the car is restarted. It wouldn't be as big an issue if the car had a few buttons for things like this...cruise control of old...

    Merged thread: Automatic Emergency Braking activating for no reason

    This is where it stopped, wide road marked parking bays. I'm sure the system is calibrated to be on the safe side but this is silly.

    Merged thread: Automatic Emergency Braking activating for no reason

    I had another good one yesterday, not an emergency brake application but the ACC bringing the car to a near hault before I clicked it off and continued. I was driving down a 30mph zone, very little traffic and quite long, hence the cruise usage. The road widended out allowing parking on both...

    Merged thread: Automatic Emergency Braking activating for no reason

    Yes, I was manouvering at a cross roads. I was on the main road turning right accross traffic. A van had been waiting to turn out of the side road on my left (turning right accross me) I could see the road ahead was clear, but behind me there was a short queue. I elected, being polite and all...

    MG4 First Impressions...err Foibles

    Its a real shame, these issues have guaranteed that I will never buy another MG. I'm just glad I got it on PCP on the bow wave of good deals. At least I can hand it back at the end and walk away and leave it for the bank to deal with if it is worth nothing. I worked in software devlopment and...

    MG4 First Impressions...err Foibles

    Thats dreadful. Thinking of lights, when reversing into my garage and the car switches from day to night mode (oversensitive light sensor) it shuts down the reversing camera. Necessitating me putting it in park and then back to reverse to renable the reversing camera. Haha, neither, I'm not a...

    MG4 First Impressions...err Foibles

    The saga continues. My MG4 Trophy LR has been pretty much bob on for the last four months. I say pretty much becuase there have been the occasional glitch with the Phone connection since then (Even my recent switch from Android based to Apple hasn't fixed that), the most curious one is having to...

    Thats horrifying! I have just been out and checked mine and thankfully they all appear to be fine.

    MG4 Software Update Thread

    Apparently so, they removed all the electronic systems to save Money, the car is no less safe physically. NCAP hammered them for it it seems.

    MG4 Software Update Thread

    Yup, it will be whichever objects code controls what is on and off. I'd imagine the MG pilot tab on the infotainment screen has its own code object that displays the settings, and it simply switches on and off things like the LKA. At the top of the code block there will be a bunch of things that...

    1 mile for every 1% - new MG4 owner

    If you aren't using the pre heating and using the car for short journeys it will annihilate the range, its something I have noticed, to and from the supermarket 8 miles...5-6% of the battery used on a cold day. Similar day but a 60+ mile round trip and I am getting 3+ miles / kw/h. My Lexus CT...

    MG4 - Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) and MG Pilot

    ACC worked fine, as did the driver drowsyness thingy. LKA was disabled, it didn't even beep. I turned it to just beep today but after stopping and starting again that too had re-set.
