    Granny cable stopped after half an hour

    I almost never use my granny cable, but today I plugged in at a friend's house. It started off fine (though at the expected pathetic 2kW). But when I can back to it, it had stopped charging. Has anyone else had this? Could it have been dew formation causing a safety cut out or something?

    MG4 Trophy fuel economy records?

    So today I was driving from Brighton to Oxford and wanted to see what fuel economy I could achieve by just setting the cruise to 55mph in eco mode. Took a little longer than usual, of course, but I’m v impressed with how economical it was! 5.3 miles per kWh Can anyone beat that, I wonder?

    Autohold error light?

    Does anyone know what this means, or how I fix it? Is it something to do with the brakes?

    Tyre repairs

    I have just discovered that my new MG4 has no spare tyre! This is more than a little worrying. Acc to the manual there is a 'repair kit' which doesn't exactly inspire confidence. Does anyone have any experience of actually dealing with a puncture? Does the tyre repair kit actually work? 😬

    Are there guidelines about battery management?

    I am aware that modern batteries tend to have preferences about charging practice in order to maximise battery life (such as never go below x% charge, or don't charge all the way to 100% etc) I have been though the manual but can't seem to find this. All I found is that you should mostly slow...

    How do I disable muting of the radio when reversing?

    I have a brand new MG4 Trophy and find that when I reverse, the music volume drops to zero. This is completely unnecessary and annoying. Yet I can't find the setting to disable it in the manual. Can you help? Thanks

    Can't get CarPlay to work [SOLVED]

    I took delivery of my brand new EV4 Trophy today and I love it! But the whole computer setup is a bit challenging (my last car was a 2007 Fiesta and had no computer of any kind!). I gather I can connect my iPhone via a USB cable so I can actually control the phone from the car (CarPlay?). But I...

    Congestion Charge

    So this is weird. Transport for London seem to be able to work out that my car doesn't need to pay ULEZ, but until I apply for an exemption I will have to pay the congestion charge?! Surely being an EV exempts it from both. So if they know it's exempt from ULEZ why do they not know it's also...

    Charging cable on the MG4 Trophy

    Hi. My very first EV arrives on Tuesday - the MG4 Trophy (23 reg) The dealer tells me it will come with a type 2 cable, but I am not sure if this will be 3 phase, does anyone know? Reason I ask is that I understand 3 phase cables will charge the car faster at public charging points. So if the...

    Spoiler on the MG4 EV Trophy

    Hi everyone. Brand new here (so be gentle :D) I have an MG4 Trophy on order and have a question about the weird spoiler. I always understood that a spoiler was supposed to positively affect the airflow over the car to make it more aero (reduce drag). But I gather from various reviews comparing...
