    First MOT, major fail, both front suspension bushes

    Mine was 2 years old at about 22000 miles when the dealer found worn bushes at the second service. They were replaced under warranty. Seemed very early to me for this to happen.

    Volume button starts radio- Normal?

    I've done exactly as you did when wanting to alter the navigation volume. The navigation voice had finished just before I moved the joystick and the radio came on.

    Corroded (rear) discs

    I checked what happens when I left foot brake and have found out what I have been doing! The power meter does indeed go negative when I first touch the brake but then I press the accelerator further while keeping the brake pedal pressed and the power meter returns to being positive. The brakes...

    Corroded (rear) discs

    That's different to my MG4 where I'm pretty sure the power meter remains positive when I left foot brake while pressing the accelerator. It's how I cleaned up my discs pre MoT. I'll double check next time I'm out in it.

    Screeching when reversing - not using brakes

    If I left foot brake whilst still pressing the accelerator I use the brakes and don't use regen according to the power indicator. Like @siteguru, I was told about rusty brakes at my second service. The dealer didn't try to sell me new discs or pads, they simply suggested that I use the brakes...

    Affinity Scheme

    Brown & Gammons still service MGs even though they can no longer sell new ones (due to MG UK deeming their showroom too small).

    Window tint removal - Phase 1

    Reversing into my drive in the dark is the time I too find the tints too dark. I usually drop the rear passenger window to get a better view.

    AS-TEC-02112023-01 undertray fix bracket is it available to order?

    I'd mentioned the bulge when collecting the car in Oct 22 before the fix was available. I happened to be there when my car was being delivered on the top deck of the transporter so I'd had a good view of the underside. When I booked in a service after the bracket had become available I was told...

    MG4 Software Update Thread

    My headlights (Trophy) were adjusted by the dealer early on which got rid of most of the dark spot. They're still abysmal when going round corners or looking for a side turning on our rural roads as they just don't spread any light to the sides. I turned off auto high beam soon after getting the...

    Corroded (rear) discs

    I did this before my third service and first MoT. I guess it must have worked as I had been told about having rusty brakes at the second service but they didn't get a mention this time.

    Cold weather motorway mi/kWh?

    I can't remember ever getting below 3.1 travelling at 70mph on the A1 from around Cambridge up to Scotland in winter with heating and AC on. (Trophy LR)

    Setting the left shortcut button

    My first ev was a BMW i3 which had stronger regen than level 3 in the MG and also permanent OPD. There were regen settings to alter the level, it was always the maximum it had. To begin with I slowed down far too much before corners and junctions which soon taught me to moderate how much I...

    Car won't lock.

    Ditto about the second key still being in the car.

    I hate my MG4!

    I had worn front suspension bushings at about the same mileage but after only 2 years, which I thought was not good. My dealer replaced them under warranty. I don't know if they are still under warranty at 3 years old but it might be worth an ask.

    Battery SOH

    My Trophy had its 3rd service last month 98% at 33000 miles. Mind you, they gave me a scare by mistakenly writing 78% and then correcting it by writing 98 over it! Must check with car scanner...
