My 3 year old Trophy would normally go into a deep sleep after almost one week of no use. For the past month it has often been doing so after about 24hrs. I presumed it was due to low ambient winter temp which has been sub zero for past week or so.

I've found that some of the lower spec Samsungs with Android Auto don't connect properly to the MG4. Wife's old Samsung A14 didn't connect despite having AA installed and trying loads of potential fixes found in internet. Other users reported same issue but Samsung didnt do anything about it. We...

Turn off ACC which seems to turn off radar and prevent these dangerous emergency stops. Haven't had one for 18 months now. I only turn on ACC now when I'll need it, such as long motorway journeys in quiet traffic, which is rare. I've previously posted dashcam footage of bad stop I had when my...

Happened to me early on in ownership. Partially screwed a screw in and problem solved.

I have a 23 model and never got a key card that is placed in a "middle box". Is this a new thing? I just get in and drive as long as key fob is in my pocket.

The heat produced in steering wheel only takes a few seconds to appear, almost instant, so little need to pre heat it IMO.

AEB is obviously discussed a lot on here but does anyone know the maximum speed that will initiate a sudden full stop. By that I mean the brakes will be locked and the wheels will not turn. For me this usually only happens at low speeds. I have posted footage of one of my AEB incidents on...

Ive got into the habit of occasionally turning the regen down to 1 and causing the brake pads to engage with discs just to keep them from rusting up.

Be aware that if you book a test drive the car you drive may well have old software where LKA/ELK is permanently turned off so as not to put off prospective customers. It was outdated software on my test drive car, all be that was some time ago, however I recently had a courtesy MG4 that had...

EV charging is like filling an ICE car up with 50 litres of fuel but only 45 litres reaches the tank with 5 litres leaking out the hose and going down the drain. You've paid for that 5 litres but are never going to see the benefit from it.

Yes and I posted dash cam footage of it on another thread here. Emergency stop in normal driving conditions with nothing untoward. I sent footage to MG UK who told me it was quite normal and my car was reacting to an oncoming car in the opposing lane, even though the car was being driven safely...

One mans meat.......I love the climate control screen and often keep it on for whole journey especially if atmospheric changes are expected. Before this screen i had to either stop the car to make changes to HVAC or risk crashing car by fiddling about with the infotainment screen, distracting...

Yea, i wasn't aware we could turn the sensitivity of this down. I can only assume that by moving the left steeeing wheel joy stick to the left does this for emergency braking. I thought this was only effective for ACC when adjusting the reaction distance from the vehicle in front.

A couple of months ago I posted on this thread dashcam footage of my sudden emergency stop for no apparent reason. Its still up if you haven't seen it. I took the car back to the dealer who could find no issue. I subsequently sent the footage to MG UK. Here is their reply. "Thank you for your...

Please can you publish the report here and put and end, once and for all, to all the cynical comments.
