    Interior trim

    Remove the seat base, put the backs down forwards and they will slide out from the door sides.

    Should I power off

    Not true. Always rapid charges fine when switched on for me and that way you have the radio, AC, charging screen etc.

    MG4 Activate Head Unit Message

    Maybe because you have a ZS and this is an MG4 forum?

    Mg4 ev not charging using ccs

    Prompted by this thread, and aware that with a week long distance trip coming up, I hadn't yet tried my Trophy (owned for 1.5 months after 2.5 years of an MG5) on a CCS charger, I headed down to my local BP Pulse. Plugged in, tapped my RFID card and it started straight away. 138kW showing in...

    Attempting Summer Break in Scotland

    I'd recommend getting a ChargePlace Scotland card before your trip.

    Interior trim

    I have the same set as you and have been watching the thread with interest before I started fitting. Your post about the back seat got me panicking but seems mine are the correct set. I've fitted the rear backs and presume the base will pull out as easily as it did on my MG5 so that's next on...

    Solar + Zappi + MG4 = 😊

    I don't have a Zappi but the OpenEVSE charger does the same. Been charging my MG4 today ...

    Just pull off the wheel cover to get better access to the valve.

    MG4 Activate Head Unit Message

    Unfortunately, this didn't work for me. Collected the car last Saturday and fine until Wednesday evening when the sat nav refused to work because it needed 'permission'. The re-activation fails with an error ("Paremeters are not correct - please check and try again') and then "TSP doesn't have...

    iSmart binding

    To answer my own question, I finally got the car/app to bind and the following is an ordered list of what worked eventually for me. I've no idea which step(s) made the difference and I was sitting in the car the entire time with data access via the phone signal, not wi-fi. Deleted the app from...

    iSmart binding

    Picked up my new orange Trophy on Saturday (p/x for MG5) and all great apart from I can't get to the end of the binding process. I've followed all the possible options posted both here and on other forums i.e delete and re-install app, give app location permission, factory reset the car, try...

    Any Orange Trophy orders still outstanding?

    My orange is supposed to be on that.

    New MG4 Shipment?

    Yeah, mine is on that ship; according to the Poole dealer due to arrive 5th May so hopefully I'll get mine sooner than expected.

    MG4 Range

    Having had an MG5 for 2 1/2 years (and the wife has had a Zoe for over three years) but just about to change to an MG4 my advice is to try an use off-motorway charge points if you can. Gridserve has done a great job in upgrading and expanding motorway service charge points but too many still...

    Charge rate from type 2 connector only pulling 3.33kw

    OpenEVSE also have a 3-phase charger.

    MG5 variable charge rate

    See OpenEVSE Minimum settable is 6A, max 32A for my unit. The car can seemingly take lower than 6A when balancing etc. Mine has a tethered cable and there is no wire from the unit to the plug for proximity - just a resistor in the plug from PP to ground with the correct value for 32A.

    MG5 variable charge rate

    Sorry, confused with CP/PP. The original cable already came with the appropriate resistor for 32A installed in the plug, as did a replacement bought from elsewhere after a rodent chewed through the original. I very much doubt the MG5 ignores the resistance else it'd melt cables that can...

    MG5 variable charge rate

    I did build the kit - very easy. They do a pre-assembled one as well though. There is no CP back to the charger as the resistor is just hardwired in the plug to indicate that the supplied cable can handle 32A so the car can try and draw that but the control of charge is done in the unit...

    MG5 variable charge rate

    My OpenEVSE charger is able to vary charge based on house load and/or solar surplus but that is done internally to the unit - I know that because it has a tethered cable and the resistance to indicate it can take 32A is hardwired at the car/plug end - there is no PP wire back to the charger.
