    Why I sold my MG4 Trophy

    Just a point on the software update penny pinching by MG . I was also told at the second service it would not be automatically updated , but pointing out a flaky connection to Android Auto and it was done as a warranty item. Without that fault, I could have paid for the update ( 140euros ish )...

    I hate my MG4

    Apart from a 30 minute test drive in a Kia Niro EV which was nice but cramped the previous 16 years are in a Peugeot 307 sw , so for me Gary333 comments are spot on. I should trawl around different dealers begging for test drives to get a fair comparison of modern stock , but I am happy enough...

    Hatchback gas struts

    Took mine in last year ( around Nov ) for the same problem. A smirk and a big fat NO later , its just the cold weather sir.( in French ) True enough in Spring they returned to becoming OK again. For the price of new ones with a higher rating , I'll replace them myself , until then I just put up...

    Pay per mile. Another blow for EV drivers

    Would I be missing something here but, for those who can only use public charging and pay 20% VAT on each kilowatt. Will they be paying double tax? ie : 60p kwh , 12p in tax divide 3.4 to get per mile price, 3.5 p tax per mile, pre paid. ???? Would having a receipt for each session be...

    Poor design... a cautionary tale, always turn your wipers off

    Bored ?..... do this !

    Its to my everlasting shame that when I first saw that video I did not know which one was Paul Simon and which was Chevy Chase, and whether they were directing that song at yours truly in a nice or insulting way. Graceland is a go to CD for myself over the last 39 years but I always tend to...

    I hate my MG4

    If you have read many of the posts on this forum you would realise that not many of us are fanatics of MG . We have some problems which are shared and a collective knowledge is then employed to help the afflicted. If MG wants a fanbase and which manufacturer doesn't, it needs to improve its...

    I hate my MG4

    Removing the front "sensor " would mean removing the bumper, not impossible but not easy , then when your lease is up , you have to put it back or suffer excess charges. The tape on the windscreen has been discussed before , but the camera is covered by the sweep of the wipers , so either won't...
