Am curious about how old owner drivers of the MG4 are. Its sporty looks and speed should appeal to boy/girl racers but I get a feeling that many forum contributors are in their 60s. Do vote. Thank you

Tesla has tweeted “To celebrate the continued opening of our network to all EVs, non-Tesla EVs get their first Supercharging session for free until Jan 6, 2024” NB I assume this is just for their open chargers. Yesterday I tried their Supercharger at Luton and topped up 38 kWh in less than 25...

Anyone have knowledge or experience of this fault code which the AA diagnosed on my 10 month old Trophy? I have been happily charging the car since new on a 7 kWh charger at home with occasional charges on fast chargers. Yesterday I tried to top up at a Gridserve 350 kWh charger. It didn’t...

The iSMART app has quite a few niggles for MG4 owners. I’m guessing it will be the same for most MG models. It may help if we all leave negative reviews in the app stores when app related features do not work. I like to think app developers respond to problems more quickly than MG HQ. As an...

Sorry, but just about everything about the radio is awful and very distracting if trying to change stations whilst you are driving. My workaround is to use a combination of Apple CarPlay, and the BBC Sounds app and the TuneIn Radio app. Connect your iPhone to the car with a cable. Say ‘Hey...

I’m registered with the TPS which limits the number of Spam phone calls I receive. Recently I have taken about 8 Spam calls coming from different numbers and claiming to be from the Financial Conduct Authority. All address me by my full name. The calls started after I ordered car accessories...

Was this bit of the car designed by the Work Experience boy? Is MG so confident with its quality that it knows a fuse will never need replacing? Is it to dissuade DIY retrofitting of accessories eg dash cams so that owners are more likely to go to their dealer? (Unlikely as MG don’t make any...

A few thoughts on my visit to the Fully Charged show on Friday. Use discount code FCLEXH10 (kindly offered by Easee One) for a 10% discount Also select the Patreon / YouTube supporter option when you order your tickets. (There’s no check that you subscribe to these channels- though I do)...

I’m on Octopus Go for cheap electricity between 0030 and 0430. Octopus manages the change to and from BST automatically. So no need to do anything unless you use timers to switch on appliances during the cheap rate. I was surprised to see that my Easee One EV charger changed my charging period...

Am very impressed with the inbuilt satnav in the Trophy. I use it all the time rather than worrying about Carplay dropping out and losing Waze or Google Maps. It’s significantly better than my old stick-on Garmin Good points: Voice is natural and clear (but you cannot select a different voice)...

An expensive way to help escape from the car if it locks you in would be to hide a spare key and fob in the front bonnet area and hope someone is around and able to extract the blade key and open the driver’s door (you would need to release the bonnet catch first). But would having an additional...

Does anyone know who is behind the MG Recall Checker website? Is it MG? If not, is it trustworthy and accurate? https://mgrecallchecker.co.uk/ I picked up my Trophy on 29 December ie after the compulsory “locked in” update was rolled out. I asked the salesman if the update had been done and he...

Now sold.

Am selling a brand new, sealed hardwire kit which I did not need. It’s compatible with all Nextbase dash cams. £15 (PayPal) including p+p. thanks.

I asked MG Customer services which headlamp deflectors I would need if driving in Europe and also whether the speedometer changed automatically from MPH to KPH based on GPS position. This was the reply: “The MG4 includes what is known as a flat beam. No adjustment is therefore required for...

Not a fan of the adaptive cruise control as it jerks and brakes like a bucking bronco. Is there anyway to have cruise control without the adaptive bit (ie the car maintains a set speed until you accelerate or brake). I have tried the Speed Limit Assist setting whereby you set an upper speed...

My MG4 was registered and collected on 29 December but I have not yet received the V5c logbook. I know the DVLA website says it can take 4 weeks to process (and we have had New Year and postal strikes to contend with). I sold my old car on 3 January and within a week I had received from the...

There are a few threads on here about MG4 12v battery failures that have caused numerous issues. I park my car well away from any plug that I could use for a battery charger so I am wondering if I could use my V2L cable connected to my car to attach a battery charger to charge my 12v battery...

Lidl has a cut to size rubber boot liner for £6.99. Nothing special but it does the job. Lidl also has these seat pads for £5.99 each. I think they look good pending any decent made to measure seat covers. They attach with elastic bands. Although not designed for rear seats, 2 of them work...

Might be worth printing this and keeping in the car in case the unthinkable happens https://www.mg.co.uk/sites/default/files/2022-10/MG4_EV_Rescue_Manual.pdf
