    MG4 Restricted speed - weird

    True dat. When it comes to applying updates some MG dealers are more Eric Morecambe than Andre Previn

    Decision, Decision Decision !

    So you'd advocate all the MG owners on here to move to a different car come replacement time? My view is to do what the OP appears to be doing, which is assess your needs, research the available products, take a test drive and make decision based on heart and head together. No good buying...

    London to Wales on M4?

    I say I say I say. How do you get to Wales in an MG? One in the front, and one in the back. I thank you Sorry, not very helpful but I couldn't resist

    MG to lose customers for good?

    Thanks. I did give my reasons when I emailed my dealer to cancel the MG4. Predictably I've heard nothing and not seen the deposit back yet. I don't kid myself they care about losing little old me. The purpose of my post (apart from getting grumbles off my chest) was as a courtesy to those I...

    MG to lose customers for good?

    Thanks to everyone that has provided useful knowledge, food for thought and engaged in friendly banter, but I'm out and wanted to say cheerio. Having run an original ZS EV for a little over 3 years and had my name on a waiting list for an MG4 since September, I have concluded that I no longer...

    Just sharing reply from dealer

    I've heard some nonsense in my time.... If the problem was purely due to overfilling then MG would never have gone to the trouble of designing and fitting a new breather on ANY car, There are 3 possible explanations for the fact that some cars have had the issue reported and others have not...

    My trip in a Tesla model 3

    For anyone doing regular long journeys or without home charging I'd agree with you. Many people rarely drive more than 200 miles in a day in which case 'regular' EVs may serve them well. A friend of mine is trying to sell him model S at the moment. He has been disappointed with the build...

    MG ZS EV Door handles locks faulty or is there a knack?

    Don't worry I don't intend to pay it. Am sure it will be a warranty repair, the only other explanation is that it is damaged due to an accident, or user error. In either of these cases I'd expect a technician to identify the issue inside 2 mins and I'd baulk at paying £89 for 2 mins attention...

    MG ZS EV Door handles locks faulty or is there a knack?

    My rear driver's side door refuses to open from inside or out. Booked it in to local dealer to look at it and they want £89 inspection fee. Shysters!

    MG4 Reduction Gearbox Oil Leak

    Yeah, that's what they told me too. They are very careful in not saying exactly how the matter has been resolved but when pushed it seems their 'solution' is just to put a bit less oil in and swap breather only if owners complain. Problem is that likely means that you get a soiled driveway and...

    Bjørn Nyland MG4 Bangkok challenge

    Bjorn seemed to like it. He raved about ride and seemed happy with performance. He had nicer seats that we get in the UK but still felt it was a bit cheap inside. Downsides for him were the charging speed never getting over about 80 kWh even in ideal conditions, LKA being borderline...
