I have owned mine since September 2023 & have done 11,000km. It is a superb drivers car & the build quality is excellent. No rattles at all & I don't seem to get the wind noise from the wing mirrors others have complained about. The rear undertray became warped after 4000km but that was fixed...

The Australian MG bulletin of the fix is attached in the pdf with a photo of the original bulge. The bar is just plastic about 5mm thick though you could use alloy or steel. The 3 bolts are probably a bit longer than the originals & there is a penny washer to distribute the clamp force. I don't...

I don't now if there is a term for it but maybe it is "battery life anxiety" or "correct charging anxiety" but there are many people who just get in and drive their EVs without any concern about battery life, battery balancing, charging NMC to 80% or 100% etc. At the everything Electric show in...

MG4 has won the Top Small Car award in NZ for 2024 ahead of the Opel Astra & Cupra Born Stuff

Supplying a complete replacement undertray is a whole lot more expensive and complicated than a plastic bar with 3 bolts & washers. The fix was completed in under 10 minutes.

I don't understand why the MG bulletin with the simple fix in Australia can't be done in the UK. I posted the before and after pics on another thread somewhere but here they are again FYI. There are 3 bolts and washers and a plastic bar. Originally I thought it was steel but when I checked it is...

I bought a cheap kids school backpack & put the granny charger & V2L adaptor in it & it is under the bonnet protected from any dust that ends up there. I have only ever used the granny charger to make sure it worked. 95% of my charging is done from my ZJBeny single phase 7kW wall charger with...

The MG4 battery warranty in Australia & NZ is 7 years and unlimited mileage. The debate on NMC vs LFP batteries rages on especially when it comes to longevity. There are plenty of well documented stats where Teslas with NMC batteries made by CATL as are MGs batteries have travelled over...

Is the fix done on my car in Australia available yet in the UK?

In Australia the first service is at 24 months or 40,000km. Cost is $296.00 and there is a long list of things to be checked. see below. Check the function of the Parking Brake and adjust it as necessary. Check the operation of the Lamps, Horns and system warning indicators. Check operation...

Australia is so far behind the 8 ball when it comes to public charging despite some state governments providing incentives. It seems the problem is that the equipment appears to be supplied by very few manufacturers despite what is written on the charger. They can be out of service for weeks or...

I get exactly the same regen value with OPD and without it so the only way OPD slows the car more rapidly is by applying some brake pressure and it will bring it to a complete stop.

I asked this question somewhere as well & one response was it means the vehicle will "S"top when in OPD which it does. In 1,2,3 or A it will not come to a complete stop.

Well here in Orstruckinfalia there is a word missing. They should read "Tesla Super Expensive" chargers. Cost is around 85 cents/kWH compared to 50-60 cents at other 150-350 kW chargers. I've done just over 9000 km so far with a total cost for electricity being $35.00. I have only done 2 long...

What a complete w*nker. Knows nothing about the car or controls and then complains the controls are a complete mystery. Doesn't even know if there is one or more motors. Total f***wit. Youtube has heaps of comments from fellow anti EV evangelists tempered with the odd correcting comment which...

Still working fine this morning. I am not going to log out to check if the server is not accepting logins. At this stage it ain't broke so I'm not going to fix it.

It seems weird that if there is a nation wide outage of iSmart, why does mine still work? My assumption is that the app is communicating to the web via my home WiFi & the car is communicating to the web via it's Vodafone E-SIM. Logic tells me that if the communication is OK & the car is...

the iSmart app has always worked for me including the week just gone. Just checked again and it connected immediately as it always has. I have been using it to start and stop battery charging based on the amount of solar power I am generating. I leave the charger operating at 18 amps as when...

It happens occasionally. I have the day/night display set to auto and it sometimes gets a bit confused as it thinks it is night when the car is in the garage and will change to day setting when I reverse out and on a few occasions it has gone completely black. This may be due to driving off...

The high beam on my 4 is too high as well. It is in the trees. I rarely drive at night & the low beam is fine. The adjustments are best made using an appropriate aiming mark from a set distance so although I have read the thread on how to adjust the high beam (it seems fairly easy) and found the...
