    First MOT, phase one MG4s

    23 Trophy. 29,500 miles, passed with two advisories that the front tyres were getting low. As the car is going back to the finance company in the next few weeks I didn’t bother replacing them. I had managed to rip half of the under tray off which wasn’t an mot failure so got that replaced.

    Sales & Service Ancaster MG Dartford - MG Dealer Discussion, Opinions & Experiences

    I bought my MG4 and MGS5 from Ancaster Dartford, both sold by Todor. Both were a good experience. I’ve had three services and an MoT through the service department with absolutely no issues. They also fixed a motor warning light problem under warranty, again with absolutely no issues. I have...

    From MG4 to MGS5

    After 3 years of happy motoring with my MG4, I have today collected a new MGS5 in Piccadilly blue. Typically it’s been raining so the car isn’t now as clean as it was when I picked it up! The salesman explained all of the driving aids and a lot of them were familiar. We were going to drive down...

    Time to Say Farewell

    It’s time to say farewell to this forum after three years of happy driving in my MG4. I’m waiting for the finance company to let me know when they’ll be collecting it but today I’m collecting my MGS5. Maybe I was fortunate not to suffer problems similar to those people who were also early...

    1st service comparison

    Are you sure about that? I am coming to the end of my PCP on my MG4 and have a service plan. It has never appeared on my credit report. I’ll be coming over to this forum fully when I collect my S5 in two weeks time.

    More App Issues - Can't Sign In - Now Solved

    That's odd, I've been out most of the day and I came home and tried again. This time I received the code and was then able to change my password. As you say I changed it to one without any special characters and all is now good. The joys of modern technology....

    Failed Gridserv/ABB charging in MG4

    Interesting. I was in Norfolk the week before last and had 5 successful charges at the Gridserve Norwich Electric Forecourt. Times varied from 6.05am through to 10.45pm. To be honest it couldn’t have been easier. I have a Trophy.

    Emergency braking on level crossing with no nearby cars

    I've had a couple of false alarms with the emergency braking, on both occasions when going between 2 cars parked asymmetrically. I assume that the system thought that I was going to hit one or the other. As somebody who was knocked down by a car as a 4 year old I'm very pleased that these...
