    I hate my MG4!

    My MG4 SE LR is 26 months old and on 30,000 miles and I have had no issues of any concern. I always turn LKA off, put AEB on alert, as I would for any new car. I never use ACC, and I think the auto headlights work well. Tyre wear is better than on my previous diesel cars. My wife's Nissan Leaf...

    Led rear indicator and reverse lamps

    My replacement LED reversing light bulbs bought off Amazon failed within a year, despite having one of the best star ratings. The replacement I tried next didn't fit because the diameter was too great to fit into the light cluster. I have now fitted these 1 x Strong Canbus Daylight Running DRL...

    MG4 : 1st Service : What to expect?

    Time passes, so moving on to my year 2 service at 30,000 miles, I have three quotes from MG dealers I could use - £218, £236 (brake fluid top up, not change), £296. That's west to east from Gloucestershire to London.

    Lane keeping assist

    Over the last year LKA has remained permanently off in my SE LR, until I took it into my local MG dealer for them to recalibrate the camera after the windscreen had been replaced. I specifically asked that the software was not to be upgraded, but now LKA turns on each time the car is started...

    LKA after software update.

    I've had my MG4 SE LR 12 months and 10,000 miles and have never experienced LKA. It is always off and I never have needed to turn it off. Is it only some models / software updates that cause it to be on at start up?

    iSMART not working when car in garage - GPS booster needed?

    I live in a poor mobile signal area in Gloucestershire, and iSMART has connected to my MG4 at home just once in 6 months. Anywhere else it connects no problem. As Vodaphone has the worst (zero) signal strength there I assume that's who MG use. The Nissan app always connects to my wife's Leaf at...

    Led rear indicator and reverse lamps

    I was going to replace the reversing light bulbs with LED projector type, but having removed the bolts I could not readily get the light assembly off - they didn't want to just slide. Are there other press fit connections, etc?

    Remote control function failed

    I suspect that it is Vodaphone, as they have the worst signal where I live.

    Remote control function failed

    I'm now certain my lack of iSmart connectivity at home is due to poor mobile network coverage there. Customer service at MG today emailed saying I am probably just unlucky with that, but they say they will find out which network they use and let me know. I will post details if and when received.

    Remote control function failed

    iSmart worked fine last night when the car was parked in Chepstow, but still does not work at home. I have emailed MG to ask which network they use and will post with details if & when I get a reply. MG (and all manufacturers) should provide details of the networks their eSIMs use so buyers can...

    Remote control function failed

    I have deleted and reinstalled the app and have reset the head unit, and still iSmart does not work at home. I then drove 1km to where there is a good signal on all UK networks and iSmart worked fine. EE is the only network that I can confirm gives me a good reliable signal at home, and so I...

    Remote control function failed

    I have poor reception at home with 3, and I know that EE and O2 are ok here. Not sure about Vodaphone. So presumably the esim is not on EE as it seems the issue I have is lack of connection between the esim and its network. I recall seeing that another car company uses a multi network SIM to...

    Remote control function failed

    My SE LR does not have a Wifi or Wireless networks tab under settings on the headset. I see the iSmart manual notes these functions are not present on the TT colour radio. Does this mean I cannot connect my car to my home wifi?

    Remote control function failed

    I also have problems with the iSmart app not connecting to the car. I live at a location with poor mobile coverage, but if I drive 1km to where I get a good signal iSmart works (which is no good for preheating the car interior!). I have just tried an EE sim in my mobile phone, and now I have a...
