    Have MG sorted out the MG4 yet?

    It is brilliant, as you say! After 2 years, I still find excuses to 'just nip down to the shops' so that I can have a quick drive 😆

    Car completely dead - eventually, AA called out

    I'll have some of what you're drinking Terry 😅 The 'hook bit' thing makes sense, though... so I don't have to carry a screwdriver around with me!

    Car completely dead - eventually, AA called out

    Great idea... Unfortunately, in my case, I couldn't open the car, or the boot, or the bonnet 😮‍💨 and for some strange reason I wasn't carrying a jump pack with me. The lights came on a couple of days after I departed on my cruise.

    Car completely dead - eventually, AA called out

    I parked the MG4 in the Marina Car Park and headed out onto the canal in our Narrowboat. A week later, we returned and went to load up the car for the journey home. The car was completely dead, didn't respond to any attempt to open the doors. Guessing that somehow the 12V battery had failed, I...

    Car locked with the key inside...

    Haha! I was cavorting on a cold and windy Devon beach this morning, so thought it prudent to keep the keys safely zipped away...

    Car locked with the key inside...

    ... and me outside 🥵 I had the key safely zipped up in my heavy duty winter coat - usually have it in my trouser pocket. We stopped for a coffee, and.... I left my coat in the car 😒 As I touched the door-handle button, the car beeped, but locked anyway. I checked the doors, but all tightly...

    Have MG sorted out the MG4 yet?

    Trophy LR with 64k battery here. It's a brilliant car, though I do get envious of Teslas when I see them all plugged into their cheap chargers! But a couple of friends have Teslas, and they moan about various problems, so I guess any make will have its detractors. After two years with the car, I...

    Unexpected hard emergency brake

    I've had 2 years of slam-brake-free driving... until last week. A pedestrian looked, for a brief moment, as if he was about to run across in front of me. Seeing me bearing down on him, he thought better of it, and turned away. I spotted this, but a second later, the car decided that I was such a...

    Has anyone managed to switch on A/C remotely?

    My other half went to choir the other night, about 8 miles away. It was a really cold night - when she got home, she said, 'How the heck did you do that, the car was toasty warm?!' I was impressed that the iSmart had managed this! I wonder what passers-by thought when the car suddenly burst into...

    What car did your MG4 replace?

    My previous car was a BMW M135i, complete with Luxury Indicator Pack. A great car in every way, beautiful build, rock-solid software, loads of room on the Media player for my Wagner operas, and a fab noise from the engine when on full chat, which could even drown out the Berlin Phil playing...

    Warning regarding the iSMART app and passwords

    I'm sure that the iSmart app (what an oxymoron!) was designed by the CEO's grandson on a work experience day. Why does 'the token' (whatever that is) expire? I have the app installed on my iPhone, but a few months ago. installed it on my new Samsung (which integrates seamlessy with the MG4...

    EV opposition in the media is ramping up

    Great video, I like this guy 😶 (could have done without the Crash Test footage...)

    No live traffic information suddenly

    Is this to do with the amount of data we now have on the car's SIM? (I don't use the Traffic feature, prefer Google on my phone, as I have Unlimited Data, so no need to worry about it...)
