    Google map distance v cars.

    I've found that my car tends to over report distance by around 2% compared to plotting precise points with GM. Not sure which one will be more accurate, thoughts ? Edit - sorry, UNDER report distance is what I meant to say, car says 98, GM says 100 .

    Auto lights always coming on ? Hillbilly hack.

    One of the constant annoyances ( of many ) I find with the 4 is the stupidly keen to come on auto lights. Only in blazing direct sunshine do they seem to stay off. While waiting for a possible update to cure this sensitivity I discovered a pretty simple solution in the meantime. The light...

    MG4 Rusting already.

    Picked up a stone chip around 10 days ago, sounded like a heavy hit to the top of the windscreen, upon closer inspection it turned out to be on the edge of the roof panel. Meant to put a blob of paint on it but the weather didn't really allow, looked at it this morning and it's red with rust...

    'Thunk' from rear brakes.

    My SE has done this intermittently since day one. You hear the whirr of the parking brake releasing and the light goes off as you select drive, but you get an undignified jolt as the rear pads still grip before suddenly releasing. Took the slider pins out of the calipers today, dry as a bone...

    Corrosion timebomb on MG 4 ?

    Much like the ZS, the 4 appears to have basically no factory underseal along the sills etc. Had a good look at mine today and its just primer by the looks of it, not even a colour coat like the rest of the body. One of the worst unprotected water traps is the front subframe where the inner...

    Aircon pump squeak / chirp.

    Pump on my car has suddenly become noisy as hell after a mere 200 miles, squeak can be heard quite a distance from the car, anyone else had the same issue ? If you put your hand on the pump when running there's a vibration in time with the chirp, not sure it's long for this world :unsure: The...

    Can I kill the 'Bling' ?

    On day 3 of ownership of my SE SR and largely enjoying it. As expected though, the main irritants are the lane keep assist, flashing speed sign, and above all, the BLING. God, I swear I hear that frigging noise in my sleep now, open door, BLING, switch on lights BLING etc etc. Now I know you can...

    MG4 GOM accuracy.

    Wondering if owners are finding the GOM trustworthy ? As someone who made many nail biting journeys in a permanently optimistic first gen leaf , I think I have mild PTSD regarding 'miles to go' 😭

    Detailed servicing schedule.... anyone ?

    I think it's due for service every 15k / yearly but wondered if anyone found info on exactly what nonsense MG will insist on to keep the warranty sweet ? My dealership wouldn't budge on chucking in a couple of free ones because the cars are selling like the proverbial warm cakes, so they felt...

    Performance difference between models.

    So I had a 2 hour test drive today, usual orange trophy that the dealers seem to have. Overall - impressed. Great ride/ handling balance, very pointy (if a little numb) steering, managed to get the tail to step out a little on a couple of occasions (safely) ;) Reset the driving data at start...
