    Considering swapping MG4 for an MGS5 - Test Drive Thoughts.

    Would be interested to know how you get on. We are in a similar situation with PCP and I was planning to hand the car back and get an alternative SUV type. Was considering Elroq, EV3, Renault 4, EC-3 Aircross but the S5 might have to come into the frame too. Good Luck.

    Steering wheel heating

    iSmart UK App Version 2.0.8 has it. Have been using it through the winter. Useful feature.

    Year 3-4 service quote

    i was told by the dealer that there are odd and even year services. So: Year 3 = Year 1; and Year 4 = Year 2. Year 1 I paid £88, Year 2 £281 (both incl VAT). Add in MoT and in same ballpark as above.

    back seat mesh storage pocket thingy

    I had one in my previous car, which was a working vehicle. Acquired from Halfords. Outlasted the car. I see they've now "enhanced" it to take a tablet, see "Tablet Back Seat Organiser". Amazon also has a selection.

    Windows misting up in cold weather (on the inside)

    Try preheating the car before you set off. Can be done from the app.

    How to identify an MG4 ER?

    My Trophy LR has a black roof. I was told by the dealer when I ordered the car (October 2022) that all LRs came with a black roof, and a flat black not the same as the Black Pearl Metallic (so I avoided that and bought Camden Grey). The ER was not available to order at the time (although I was...

    Seriously tough vehicle!

    I had a similar experience to your culvert incident last March. After the car was back on the road (under its own power thanks to my brother and a large fence post) quick inspection of the underside showed only a few scratches which I covered with underseal. A week, later following the first...

    Home EV Charger Recommendations

    As you're with EDF then I suggest you consider PodPoint (owned by EDF and with linked tariffs). Very happy with my PodPOint.

    Worst car I've ever had

    Or try Burl Solomons YouTube Channel. UK based MG4. For the basics see www.electrifying.com I love my MG4 and think your comments are both uninformed and unfair.

    Radio Issues

    Above workaround has worked for me in the past. Not bad lately, now on R46.

    Honda + Nissan

    The plans for a new Micra, based on the Renault 5, are reported to be well advanced. Similarly the Leaf and Juke replacement EVs have been alluded to. It will take a while to untangle the Renault/Nissan tie up. Pity as the photos of the seats in the R5 would discourage me. As for Honda the...

    No sound from sat nav

    I had a similar problem. Reported at service when upgrade to R46 was installed. Still no joy. Eventually found: Settings>Volume Settings>Vehicle Alerts. Solved my problem.

    MG4 Pedestrian Alert

    Mine braked automatically when a pedestrian cut across the back of my car in a car park yesterday. Definitely a person not a vehicle.

    Avoid InstaVolt charging stations

    I've had a problem when trying to charge at Instavolt and using a Visa Credit card. Another driver told me you have to insert the card into the reader rather than go contactless or swipe. I have had to try moving to another vacant charger or changing to a Mastercard debit card. Instavolt say...

    Maximum charging range MG4 Trophy long range

    It's not just how you drive it's also the mode you are in. I always switch to Eco Mode at the start of a trip (have mode selection programmed into left star button). If you can drive without the A/C but with heated seat and steering wheel that might help. You can see the range remaining on the...
