Can confirm! I bought a £60 one from Halfords on a whim and on Christmas Eve night after stalling at some lights, our battery couldn’t turn over the starter motor. Pushed it to the side of the road, hooked it up and the little engine came back to life. Best £60 I ever spent, highly recommend...

Anything else you can share with us Tony for discussions with the OEM?

I think given that the car has a 7 year warranty, a lot of the issues aren't deal breakers and I'd agree that its 'probably' fine. But as a chartered engineer who also has various mechanical degrees, I think your assessment is wrong to claim that 'no damage will occur'. We simply don't know...

I think everyone should be reporting this to the DVSA where possible to light a fire under MG and have them moving faster. Their response rate have been shameful thus far with keeping the community updated on fixes. https://www.gov.uk/vehicle-recalls-and-faults/report-a-serious-safety-defect

From what I gather, preheating the battery before a trip will improve its efficiency and therefore range. The general consensus here is that if its below 10C outside, its maybe worthwhile doing for longer trips. If you're hopping around the city, maybe not. For charging however, if you are...

I've seen a few people mention the preheat of the battery, especially if its below 10C. I've never really thought about how important this is until stumbling across this video that was recently uploaded. For those not wanting to watch, the Tesla M3 has 35% of battery when pulling into the...

That's pretty interesting to know, do you know why MG therefore offer a charge limiter within their app? What's its purpose may be? I can't think of one asides from protecting the battery, which now seems redundant.

Someone told me a while back that at high and low charge capacity's, the battery's are pushed very hard to deliver the required power, so the golden zone is between 20% and 80% for optimal health. I don't know how true that is for the MG4... but figured its worth sharing. I didn't realise until...

Feels like a bit of a double edge in that on one hand they quoted me three months for delivery of my Trophy Fizzy Volcanic Orange and on the other, the longer we wait the better chance of issues being resolved before collection.

Have you also used the hardwire kit? Is that possible on the MG4, to get a constant power supply?

Its a really good point! I remember years back there was a big faff on regarding the Tesla M3 having the emergency override at the top of the handle and overuse of it would cause long-term damage. Caused some disruption regarding the need of it and the bottom line was that it needed to stay.

Depends on your appetite but @7% I'd be bad at my job. Leveraging the house would be the fastest way to a scolding from the wife.

I read it back and realised it came across abrasive sorry 😅 I've seen a few comments bashing finance options like PCP when in reality, it's actually a great tool to purchase a vehicle.

Like most things, I think people are either ignorant or too quick to judge. PCP with an APR rate or 7.9% @£32,000 over 4 years had an interest payment of ~£7000. If you're good with finances, its relatively easy to generate 10% through passive trading/investment. £32,000 over 4 years compounded...

I've been wondering this for a few days now and assumed the worst but reading these comments is giving me a lot of relief. I travel a lot and was worried during times away the car would just vampire drain. Thanks all for confirming!

Sorry for my ignorance but is this saved somewhere? I'd love to refer to this when picking up my car. Serves as a really good checklist.

A list of all known issues stickied to the top of the forum would be incredibly helpful for those due to pick soon so that the community can be kept updated in a single instance. All the posts are difficult to track regarding stages of fixes etc.

The manual seems to disagree: The 12V battery SOC (State Of Charge) is constantly monitored, when the vehicle is power OFF it is possible, under certain conditions, that the HV battery will automatically charge the 12V battery to ensure the vehicle starts. This function will activate and switch...

It’s kind of crazy, that they couldn’t somehow work in OTA to resolve these things.

What confuses me though is that if that is the case, surely this has been apparent from the very start and affects every model released?
