    Test Drive Duration

    I had three test drives on separate occasions. The first was very short - 20 mins or so. Second was a much longer stint between 1.5 - 2 hours and the third was to take my wife to see and drive, approx 1 hour. I had already made my decision prior to the third test drive, but needed my wife to...

    What is your opinion on your MG4 for build quality - Good or Bad

    I understand people who have had bad experiences with the MG4 giving negative feedback. I feel really lucky to have 'landed on my feet' with the car I have ended up with. It seems that the majority of people having problems have the Trophy version, whereas I went for the SE SR, mainly because it...

    What is your opinion on your MG4 for build quality - Good or Bad

    I always use Eco, regen 3 and there is an extra eco slider. Turn off LDA and tend to set TJA to 60mph on dual carriageway.

    What is your opinion on your MG4 for build quality - Good or Bad

    My SE SR is also great. No build issues, no leaking oil. Very slight bulge in the under tray, but not significant, probably wouldn't notice it unless I was looking for it. I got an average m/kWh of 4.3 on a 23 mile journey today, mainly dual carriageway, but with a little 40mph roadworks and...

    Rear windscreen demister

    I am used to driving a Volvo V70 estate with a dog cage in the boot. This pretty much blocks the view out of the rear window. That has a wiper on it, which I never use, but it is automatically actioned if it is raining and I reverse the car. I have got used to using my door/wing mirrors to...

    Equalising charge

    Thanks for your replies. The iSMART app was showing the same as the car 1.7 - 2.4kWh. No air conditioning, just the radio keeping me company. I don’t think I had the battery heating on - not deliberately, but not sure. Certainly didn’t have intelligent battery heating as I came across this...

    Equalising charge

    I have just charged my car using my new Zappi (1st time). The Zappi and the myenergi app were showing a draw on the grid of 7kW, but whilst I was sat in the car it was suggesting a maximum charge of 2.4kWh - is this normal?

    Equalising charge

    Hello siteguru, I am new to EVs and have purchased a MG4 SE SR. How do I balance the battery? I tend to charge the battery back to nearly 100% overnight. My journey per day is roughly 40 mile round-trip which I am able to recharge overnight with a 3-pin plug charger (1.8kW). Is this a good thing...

    Real World Energy Consumption

    Wow, that’s mightily impressive - that’s working out at 4.4m/kWh. I’m getting a maximum of 3.2m/kWh with pretty much the same settings 5-7 deg, A roads and dual carriageway set at 70 using ACC, normal mode and regen on 3. Are you using TJA etc?

    How many MG4 owners are new to the world of EVs?

    I picked up my SR in Dynamic Red yesterday. Clocked up 130+ miles with a 3.1 m/kWh avarage (which isn’t bad - I don’t think). This is my first EV. I part exchanged a 08 Volvo V70 D5 with 180K on the clock. Previous cars have been (earliest to most recent): Talbot Sunbeam (loved that car)...

    MG4 Reduction Gearbox Oil Leak

    Yes, I agree. I am due to collect the car next Saturday, but I am still undecided what to do. I would feel more comfortable/confident if the dealer was proactive rather than spouting BS!!

    MG4 Reduction Gearbox Oil Leak

    I sent the spreadsheet of known issues to my dealer. He declared the only issues he is aware of are the oil leak and the locking issue. Below are his responses to each: The oil leak I believe was on the first initial batch of MG4’s as they were overfilled slightly from factory which caused the...

    MG4: The New Batch

    I ordered my MG4 SR in Dynamic Red on 25th November, it was showing as surplus for the dealer. It arrived at the dealer on 9th December. I could have collected on 14th December, but we were travelling away for Christmas on 16th, so not worth it. Due to collect it on 7th Jan - can't wait!! I have...
