My wife and I have iPhones (15 and 13 Pro Max) updated to the latest version of iOS (17.4.1) We have noticed in the last couple of weeks that CarPlay just disconnects after a few minutes of use and will not reconnect to the phone. We have tried different cables, also rebooted our phones and the...

Has anyone here recently had problems renewing their insurance? Read this article on Apple News from The Guardian, and wonder if any MG drivers are experiencing the issues reported by some Tesla owners. £5K per year insurance??? Surely not… https://apple.news/AbDbouTvUQ1aazIIzsFjEkg

Hi all, Got my new iPhone and finally tried to connect to the MG. The phone has now ditched the lightning port in favour of USB-C. Plugging it the USB-C port under the infotainment system does nothing. No charge, no Airplay. I will try with another cable and also one of those USB3.0 to USB-C...

We have been just told by our dealer that the charging point flap, which was shapped off when some tool reversed into the car while it was charging, is going to take 3-4 months to arrive. Another car at the dealership is waiting for the part, and it was ordered in October! I am starting to...

So charged the car overnight at the resident bays we have in Central London and came to the car this morning with the flap snapped. Clearly the guy in front reversed too much as he was parking and snapped it. Obviously did not leave a note, or cared that much. Always thought the placement of...

Used my app for the first time in about a week and had to log back in again. When I searched for the car I saw this 😳 WTF? Somalian pirates stole it? Warlords going eco friendly? A few mins later the location updated to where the car is now, a block away from me… in London. MG app is a PITA...

We dropped off our daughter to university on Saturday, and drove from London to Plymouth and back on the same day. The wife and kids took the train. I drove with the luggage and her things in the MG, and brought two of them back from Plymouth. I left with 100% battery and returned with about...

I have joined a couple of MG forums on FB and it seems that 10 or more trophy connect facelift owners are having an intermittent issue with the wrong date announced at startup or during a journey. It seems to be linked to the car losing coverage with the integrated SIM. Although it is mildly...

I tried searching the forum, but could not find any posts on this. When I get the tyre changed on the MG, does the sensor get transferred by the fitter from the old tyre to the new one, or do I have to buy a new one? Anything I need to advise the tyre changing place before they fit the new...

Just got a quote from the dealer on the 3Y and 4Y service plans. They are asking £848.51 for the 4Y plan and £581.25 for the 3Y. Either direct debit or once off payment. Do these prices sound right? When I bought the car they were discussing a 5Y plan for around £900. Thanks

Hi all, just got our first flat tyre. Looking to get a replacement but cannot find the exact match from the tyre details. Does anyone know what I should be searching for? Apparently on the tyre it says Michelin Primacy 3st and the size is 215/55R17 Treadwear 340 Traction A and Temperature A...

So, we will be dropping off a kid at uni in Plymouth... hundreds of miles away from London :-( I wonder what your suggestion would be for either a same day return or next day return for refuelling.. I was told Exeter services have loads of chargers, but I wonder how much time will be needed to...

So having returned from our holiday and the car being parked on the street for 3 weeks, here is what happened: 1) The app worked fine for just over one week. I think it was 8 days. I could see the car and locate the car when opening the app, do a check, but after that the app refused to...

Hi all, Going away for 3 weeks and will be leaving the car behind. It will be parked for three weeks. I was wondering what is the best charge level to leave the car at. Not a long trip home from the airport, so even with 30% left I will make it back home with charge to spare. Obviously keen...

Can anyone explain why on earth it costs 32p/kWh to charge the car using the Ubitricity app, but only 24p/kWh to do it by scanning the QR code on the charing post from your mobile phone and launching it via the browser? Why on earth would anyone pay 33% more than the lower tariff just to use...

Had it reset at the dealer six weeks ago, but the damn message popped up again last week. This time it was accompanied by the car startup message telling me it was the 1st of January 1970-something… as if I bought a Delorean with a flexcapacitor 😕 To make matters worse this seems to be...

Have not been able to get an update on the car since yesterday. Are their servers down? Is there a site that shows the service availability?

Article on the Daily Mail about long trips and the EV

So we drove to Southampton to view the university for the oldest daughter. Almost 2h drive each way. On the way back the screen froze again showing the CarPlay summary screen. It was frozen for well over 20 mins. 19:52 on the top left and 20:10 on the car dashboard. Note amount of button...

Thinking of adding a dash cam, especially with the UBS port right there on the mirror.. Any suggestions? Are you using one that you are happy with? Thanks
