One I snapped a couple of weeks ago. South Bay, Scarborough from 1500ft

We have Just got past the 2nd anniversary of the MG4 being released into the UK, there will be a lot of cars dropping out of lease schemes as their previous owners move on to something new, be that another MG4 (if they liked it) or something different. There are a lot of ID.3s for example on the...

I have no idea what I'm going to get next.

Mines booked in for early May to have all the updates done (initially I just wanted the faults sorting) but they need the car for a full day to apply software updates...just how lowest bidder are the computer components in these cars that it is slow enough to require 2-4hrs to update. I can...

Sure in some instances user error can play a part but humor me: What is the user error when the system flips from night to day and resets the functions you have turned off (unless the manual explicitly states this is expected behavior)? What is the user error when the car refuses to lock and...

I'm going to be honest I agree with our first time poster. I worked as a software dev / tester (in aviation) for 13 years (I'm now a product integrity engineer...part of the team that stops the swiss cheese holes lining up). Those two functions; one that affect the operation of the vehicle and...

As others have said: The coolant should be between the Min and Max during operation, so as long as it is not below the minimum its fine (it will naturally be lower in cold weather than warm weather due to expansion). Condensation in the rear light bar is normal, especially in cold weather or...

And another nail in the MG coffin, the Driver Alertness System failed (I don't much care for it) but unlike a lot of errors that appear and disappear if you get out, lock it and unlock and get back in again it has remained. Looks like I might finally have the excuse to go to the dealer and...

Yeah, that's a fair point actually but I like to own my cars too, rather than lease. As I said I genuinely bought the '4 with the intention of keeping it, which is why I was happy to PCP a new car and the mileage was only a minor consideration. New cars sure, but only if dealers do them on used...

Maybe, one of the things that has stung me on the PCP is a change of circumstances meaning more miles on the car, my current 7k/year is going to be overshot by probably 500miles/year so I'd need an 8000 mile lease at the minimum, not something I have had to even think about in the past.

EX30 is a crossover so that's out (the ones I have seen in the metal look even more so, they certainly seem high up when sat in the MG4). The Corsa as a car just doesn't float my boat, it never has, even the hot models. The mini would be a good shout but I cannot abide that circular central...

I don't think there are many new cars that haven't had their fare share of software bugs to be honest. Given the complexity of the systems bugs are always going to rear their head. The ones that infuriate me are the ones that could easily have been avoided with adequate bench integration testing...

Had I have known what the MG4 was like I'd probably have leased it, I genuinely wanted to keep it at least until the end of the warranty period which is why I took an initial PCP over 4 years, with the miles that will end up on the car I am going to end up owing them money when I give it back at...

It does. I have experimented with normal/sport and other than the amount I have to move my right foot it seems to make little difference to anything.

Yeah it's a bug. I think if you leave it in light or dark mode rather than auto it stops it as the switch between re-sets it if you don't have the bug fix.
