    Rear lights condensating on MG4 SE

    Mind does this too - lots of condensation, which dries as the weather improves. Big concern is whether this will ultimately result in green mould growing inside over time?

    MG4 Windows dropping?

    Just seen this thread and have to report that it's happened to me and I blamed myself twice and the missus once! Rear passenger side window found fully down on 2 occasions and front passenger side down about an inch and a half once (blamed the missus for that one which now seems very harsh!)

    MG4 Software Update Thread

    Think I'll do the same - if i use android auto it seems to be 90% ok with using the phone or music so will probably cancel my booking. Why can't they just tell us the situation rather than force customers into finding out for themselves on random 'unofficial' forums, YouTube etc.? I'd much...

    MG4 Software Update Thread

    I was in my MG dealer on Friday to order a new MG4 Trophy extended range. After having placed the order, i thought I'd go to the maintenance department and ask if my current Trophy Long Range could have the latest software (I'm on R40 and asked if I could have R46 installed as i am experiencing...

    Gonna buy another MG4 Trophy - is the only difference between LR and ER the battery?

    Hey Team So i already have an MG4 Trophy Long Range (2023) but am in the market for a new car for the wife. We are happy with the current MG4 and I have no reason to buy a different EV so we will almost certainly get a second MG4. The new Extended Range Trophy is within budget, so makes sense...

    MG4 balancing/equalisation charge

    Be interesting to see if you get the battery balancing message.

    MG4 balancing/equalisation charge

    Fantastic update - thanks for the affirmation that it was probably doing the balancing and I shut it off early! Will keep eye on the lights on the charge port as this will confirm if its working or not, regardless of what the screen or app might be saying.

    MG4 balancing/equalisation charge

    I wasn't getting that screen this morning when trying to force a charge, either it didnt need it or I'm doing something incorrect.

    MG4 balancing/equalisation charge

    OK so that didn't quite go to plan last night! The car was at 18% charge I set the car to accept a 100% battery charge I set 'Intelligent Octopus Go' to add 80%, assuming it would stop at 98% and so i could do the last 2% during daylight hours so i could see if the car showed a 'Balancing...

    So potentially using intelli octopus go might stop it balancing.

    MG4 balancing/equalisation charge

    From the info I've gleaned having asked similar question, about once a month if possible.

    MG4 balancing/equalisation charge

    So the zappi will keep going if the balancing is needed?

    MG4 balancing/equalisation charge

    OK thanks all. Will charge the battery to 99% on the Zappi overnight and then try to get that final 1% and the balancing done when I wake I so i can visibly see if the 'battery balancing' message shows on the car's display. Guess that's the only way of knowing that it is being done and that...

    MG4 balancing/equalisation charge

    Thanks Dewi - can this be done at 80% or should it be done at 100%? Also, I was under the impression the Zappi stops charging once it reaches the desired percentage, and would ignore any necessity for balancing or is that wrong? Thank you :)

    MG4 balancing/equalisation charge

    Hey everyone Saw a vid on YouTube on battery balancing for the MG4 so wondered how important it is. I've never done it nor was I advised by the dealer to do it (had the car about 4 months from new). Did a search on here but only found info related to the ZS. So: Should I do it for my MG4...

    Cant remove tyre inflater plug from 12v socket (cigarette lighter socket)

    OK i managed to get the plug out and this is how, as it may help others. I used a piece of plastic laminating sheet, its super thin but stiff enough not to crumple. I rolled it in a tube, same diameter as the socket and managed, with a bit of twisting, to push it through and obviously get...

    Cant remove tyre inflater plug from 12v socket (cigarette lighter socket)

    Yeah it twists a bit but not much. Properly locked solid. Might be a dealer job 😕
