    They still don't get it! (EV sceptics)

    I have kept the same approach for years now. Whatever silly anti EV bingo claim they come up with, just agree, it usually encourages them to come up with even more silly claims which you should also agree with (and laugh yourself silly inside). I mean they are paying a huge amount of tax through...

    Latest upgrade for mg4

    Check the cable into the dashcam. This, for some unforseen reason always seems to get disconnected when the car is in for a service, no idea why, amazing coincidence.

    Best charger for the MG4

    There is a growing market for a controller that can be set up easily to programme Solar / Battery / Grid/ Car. Needs easy profiles to set different conditions. There would appear to be appropriate knowledge and experience in the forum. I wonder if an approach by a suitable person to myenergy...

    Things that make you go Arrrgghhh

    So, What are the things that get you extremely irritated on the roads. My current Meldrew moment is drivers who stop on a busy thoroughfare to let the first car from a side street to get out, thereby stopping all the traffic so it bunches up, creating additional danger for everyone, including...

    I hate my MG4!

    Funny thing is, although the car is very popular in the UK, and mine drives brilliantly, it is not so popular in China. The Toyota Corolla was the best selling car in the world for many years, and its blandy pants.

    Android Auto low volume after alert/notification

    Try re-booting the system by holding down the home button until system powers down (about 20 secs). Mine usually starts to act up every few months and re-boot fixes.

    Speed and time saved

    If you are on a busy motorway (M25 you know who I am meaning), then if trying to travel at 70mph you spend a lot of time decelerating and accelerating as you get caught up in the concertining traffic in the outer lanes. If doing 60mph in the correct inner lanes the journey is much smoother and...

    Considering swapping MG4 for an MGS5 - Test Drive Thoughts.

    They are definately learning quickly, it is a much improved car over the existing ZS. Faster than the MG4 trophy LR, with longer range. Also rear wheel drive, ride is closer to the MG4 than ZS which is good. My plan is to wait at least a couple of years for the next update as MG have previous...

    Can I trust the displayed battery data?

    I have the same approx 86 mile journey (43 miles each way) every Sunday over the winter, even in low temperatures the car uses 19% there and 21% back (more or less, the trip is a mixture of A roads and motorway, where I keep a steady 65mph if possible). The car has been pretty stable reporting...

    Mg4 fire

    I reckon it was Trump wot did it, likely he used a spark from the loose battery connection to set off the dried leaves (and possibly some twigs) and used the cabin heater to fan the flames

    Infotainment screen literally on the blink

    Not wanting to teach my granny to suck eggs but do remember to re-boot the system, just in case. Re-boot by holding down home button for approx 30 secs (until screen goes blank). Probably won't help, but I have to do mine approx every couple of months when it starts to act up.

    There you go, watch out for the brake dust air contamination from ICE vehicles.
