    New MG3 Reveal

    1.83 kWh battery, what range would that give ? £18-20k is a great price though.

    Wallbox Pulsar Plus keeps dropping WiFi

    I had a similar experience with Wallbox customer service, trying to blame everything else rather than admit to a faulty charger (Pulsar Max Plus). In the end my installer replaced it with an Ohme unit as I’d been down for 7+ weeks. Shame as the Wallbox functionality, when it worked for 11...

    Charger + Octopus, recommended combos please.

    UPDATE: went for the Ohme Home Pro in the end, synced with IOG first time, I like the little info screen on the charger unit too ! IOG charging schedules not as slick as the Wallbox but I’m glad to have a working charger after 7 weeks of dead Wallbox and their dreadful customer service. Long...

    Wallbox customer service escalation

    Great suggestion, only challenge i need to figure out is how is get Wallbox to respond given that i purchased their product via the installer which i guess is a fairly common situation. To be fair the installer has been ok, Wallbox have been awful, so need to figure out where my complaint needs...

    Charger + Octopus, recommended combos please.

    Hi, thinking of ditching our Wallbox Pulsar Max charger due to not working for a month and Wallbox customer service as useful as a flat battery. What home charger do you use in conjunction with Octopus Intelligent Go ? I see Ohme and Zappi mentioned a lot, any others that folks have used...

    Wallbox customer service escalation

    Hi, Anybody have any experience of escalating service cases with Wallbox ? I seem to be caught in an infinite support loop with Wallbox customer service over a clearly defective Wallbox Pulsar Max. I've performed diagnostics as requested, my installer came back and tried to run diagnostics but...

    Charging cover gets water filled

    Not noticed much water but on the cold and frosty mornings I’ve had the charger hatch freeze shut a couple of times!

    Octopus Intelligent Go

    Just got my IOG working (MG4 Trophy-Wallbox Pulsar Max), quick question then...on the odd nights i don't charge the car does the cheap rate just apply to the advertised 23:30 - 05:30 slot ? Would still like to run the dishwasher (every night) and dryer overnight at cheap rate, which is what i...

    Struggling to connect Wallbox Pulsar MAX to Intelligent Octopus Go.

    UPDATE: All working now, waited for updated Octopus and Wallbox apps and for latest Wallbox charger operating system software to upgrade, test charge completed fine. Actual charging started at 11pm, 30 mins early, hoping the cheaper tariff is in operation too as the Smartmeter takes a while to...

    Mangoletsi MG - MG Dealer Discussion, Opinions & Experiences

    We eventually took delivery of our MG4 in March 2023, and that was only because we agreed to a different colour (for the 3rd time !) We arrived to pick it up and they weren't expecting us ! All after-sales engagements have been mostly disappointing. Love the MG4, thinking of getting another...

    Struggling to connect Wallbox Pulsar MAX to Intelligent Octopus Go.

    Recently the Wallbox Pulsar MAX became supported i thought i'd give the upgrade to IOG a go. Made sure the Wallbox had all schedules deleted and unlocked, plugged into MG4 with no locks. Wallbox says "OCPP Connected" but when Octopus app tries a test charge (seemingly a final10 min process) it...

    Wallbox Pulsar Plus and Oct' Intelligent

    Now the Wallbox Pulsar MAX is supported i thought i'd give the upgrade to IOG a go. Made sure the Wallbox had all schedules deleted and unlocked, plugged into MG4 with no locks. It says "OCPP Connected" but when it tries a test charge (seemingly a final10 min process) it eventually fails with a...

    Anyone using MG4 battery to power house ?

    We were told that you could discharge the MG4 battery to power your home, has anyone successfully tried this ? We have a Wallbox Pulsar MAX charger and Octopus GO tariff so using 9.5p/kwh power to power the house is quite attractive.

    Wallbox Pulsar Plus and Oct' Intelligent

    Anyone using a Wallbox Pulsar MAX with Octopus Intelligent Go ? (MAX is the model Octopus promotes for installs but not on their list of integrations...go figure). EDIT UPDATE: Wallbox Pulsar MAX is now supported ! (still can't get IOG to work !)

    Octopus Intelligent at 7.5p and Export Fixed at 15p

    Hi, What charger do you have ? I have a Wallbox Pulsar MAX but not supported by Octopus (even though this is the model they promote for installs). Oddly they only seem to support older Wallbox models, some even retired ones. EDIT 181123: Wallbox Pulsar MAX now supported on Octopus App, can't get...

    LKA day/night constantly resets

    UPDATE: Re my original post at start of thread, i noticed that even though auto-switching between day/night modes appeared to reenable LKA, in fact it doesn't ! Although the LKA slidebar on the MG Pilot screen says it is enabled the dashboard icon remains amber, thus it still is disabled, i did...

    LKA day/night constantly resets

    Always switch off LKA before departing but noticed that each time the auto day/night feature dims the dashboard it also resets the LKA to on, every time ! I think the auto day/night is too sensitive (goes to night down a slightly shady lane), can this feature be disabled ?

    Lane Keep Assist feature

    That's a good question ! i didn't ask. I would assume covering it up (apart from affecting the wiper blades) would disable the LKA and other safety features, when it snowed recently some of the systems warned me they were disabled, i imagine the detection system was blocked.

    Lane Keep Assist feature

    Our 2 week old MG4 Trophy has been with the dealers for the last 3 days having the LKA, Phone Pairing issue and dropping rear window issue investigated. They had to continually refer to MG to fault-find, they upgraded various "software modules" which now gives us R33, yay ! One unusual thing...
