    MG4 Charging Cables

    hope you're enjoying your new car cheapest I found was a 4 metre Tesla type 2 type 2 cable for £85. it's heavy duty and the 4 metre length is not a problem for me. at the time I had to know a Tesla owner so it could be bought through their account, but I believe non Tesla owners can set up a...

    Locked in my MG4 & unable to escape - Serious Safety Issue

    sorry I posted before I was finished ayoull might have a much better idea than me my understanding is that all companies do their own thing when updating stuff. the way we did it we had the servers (cars in this case) contacting distribution servers on a regular basis asking if it had any...

    Locked in my MG4 & unable to escape - Serious Safety Issue

    whitelisting is great when it works but can be catastrophic - I remember at my work we sent an update out to 10000+ servers which was wrong and stopped them all from working - it took weeks for teams of people to manually set them up again working 24/7 - ah the good old days, I'm retired now :)

    wavering due to lack of information

    can't resist the digression :) I envy you with those models! I had capri, cortina, escorts, orions, focuses, mondeo and Puma. Ghia and vignale were my 'special' ones... I need to lay down and reminisce now - my capri was a 1.3 LMAO I'm drooling thinking of the 2.8

    wavering due to lack of information

    :) peut-être ;) mais non! I have been a Ford man all my driving life (40+ years) and had 22 of them. If Ford did reasonably priced electric cars I would have stayed with them (apparently no sign of a Puma electric till 2024, so mach e at 50k+ is only option) I was very very reluctant to look...

    wavering due to lack of information

    each to his own, and depends on circumstances, but yes in my case, after sitting in the megane and driving it, and considering the deal I was offered, its definitely what I want. from what I've read elsewhere there doesn't appear to be any problems that the MG4 seems to come with - unfortunately...

    New MG4 Shipment?

    I was in the same boat (no pun intended regarding ships etc :) ) went in to see my dealer on Saturday, he gave the same info you got from yours, i.e. nothing really, so I told him I was now going to look at Hyundai Kona and Renault megane (the MG garage is part of cars 2, and on the same site...

    wavering due to lack of information

    I won't say too much as it is an MG forum :) - however I totally agree what a lovely car! I had a test drive in a techno too, and it was really, really good. as regards price the MG4 is outstanding value and based on that wins hands down, its just that over 5 months with no sign as to when one...

    wavering due to lack of information

    Glad to be of service 😀 I’d just had enough after nearly 5 months with no idea how long it would take I actually sat in the car I’m buying yesterday and pick it up on Thursday. It’s a lot more money but I have accepted that, and after months of soaking in the bad points of the MG4 I feel I can...

    wavering due to lack of information

    hi - short answer is I'm not too sure... I was very lucky I think, in that the cars 2 MG in Barnsley sits in between cars2 Hyundai and cars2 Renault. I had found that both these garages had cars available immediately, and decided on the megane etech launch in the end (I'm in love :) ). they...

    so long and thanks for all the fish....

    well it's been an interesting ride (albeit without the actual car) but I am moving on to fresh pastures soon, i.e. the megane e-tech forum, as I've given up waiting for my MG4 and will take ownership of a megane tech launch edition on Wednesday next week its been fun, informative, sad and...

    wavering due to lack of information

    I called in today as the MG dealership sits either side of Hyundai and Renault - had a chat with MG dealer and got a similar response to you - except he couldn't be confident I would see one before march - went to Hyundai and saw a Kona ultimate but the only one available was at the docks, and...

    wavering due to lack of information

    I've just done the very same : - loved the megane interior and exterior, and drives really well - more expensive but feel so much happier about the deal now

    wavering due to lack of information

    I've been waiting 4 and a half months now and latest info from cars 2 Barnsley MG is that they don't know when they will get a delivery or if any delivery that comes will have my spec - trophy in red grey or white so I'm now looking to find a car that's actually in this country that I can buy...

    New MG4 Shipment?

    my thought too - rang mine today who said they are waiting on a delivery and no idea when that delivery might be - I wanted to discuss it further with them but couldn't think of anything to say or ask that might get me any further information wouldn't it be funny if we could tell them about any...

    Locked in my MG4 & unable to escape - Serious Safety Issue

    thanks - much appreciated I would never have got that - even more so because the information was in the manual :) I worked in computing for 40+ years where no one ever read the manuals, unless there was a nuclear meltdown or some other catastrophe, perhaps like being locked in your car :)
