    Car won’t shut down

    Dumb question but the second key isn't still in the car somewhere? I've had this numerous times with my wife leaving something tucked in the car somewhere and then leaving it when she's taken "everything" (Oh really) out and I've been unable to lock several cars. She never learns

    Best All Season Tyres for MG4

    My "one-time" refers to me going against the fitter's advice not that the breakaway only happened "one-time". To be clear I've proven this to be the case with several cases and the advice is based on the physics that the end of the vehicle with the lowest traction will breakaway first. It is...

    Best All Season Tyres for MG4

    I have to say you are missing the point. We all know that a Cross Climate or All Seasons tyre is going to be a compromise and accept that there are lots of things impacting range but the assertion that "Most discussions relating to EVs relates to range anxiety and cost of charging" is frankly...

    Best All Season Tyres for MG4

    Not all tyres/tires can be rotated as you used to. If you have directional tyres you'll get in a right pickle. if you rotate then two of the tyres will end up on a corner of the car facing the wrong direction. If directional then you can only swap front to rear on the same side of the car. The...

    Aargh! Got my first scratch on the MG4. Need help with paint colour/code

    I bought the Dynamic Red two-part official MG touch-up paint kit from a local MG dealer but I've never opened it. I'm happy to sell it to anyone who wants to make me a reasonable offer £? as I've parted with my Red car now. The paint originally cost me £17.51 inc VAT but happy to sell if for...

    MG4 Undertray dip/bulge

    Just because a lot of cars have the "bulge" that doesn't make it right, it makes it a common fault. other dealers recognise it is a fault and not all MG4s suffer from this issue but there is clearly something which needs sorting by MG. I understand that it is not a safety recall but the plastic...

    Anyone had to sell?

    Sold my ZS on Cazoo as many of the other online quotes were withdrawn for straight sal and I was told the offer would only be for PX where they could sell me one of their cars from stock. Cazoo came good. However, I was told by some that they weren't taking used EVs as they didn't sell and the...

    Dropping like a stone

    I've had a similar experience with my ZS EV Gen 1. 6 months ago I was getting £22k offers on the Cazoo/Motorway type sites and then in December best Trade-in was £19,750 in March it was £13-£14k and Tesla Trade-in was only £10,500 they said based on car auction prices. But these prices do...

    Sudden automatic braking issue

    I've had some of these with my ZS which seems to activate a pulse of phantom breaking triggered by Cast Iron manhole covers in the road also a few times crossing my local railway crossing where the road actually dips to cross a single track. I've put it down to the radar getting a sudden...

    Rust Issues

    I'm not sure what relevance and reports of rust on BYD in Australia has got to do with MG4? Please do enlighten me? Should Volvo and Polstar and Tesla Model 3 also be concerned since Geely a Chinese company owns the first of these and UK Tesla Model 3s are Chinese-built too? If it is the...

    MG4 software recall upgrade not working

    I believe that the resetting of Regen is unfortunately a requirement of WLTP. There has been a lot of discussion about this on various threads on the forum and I think expectations were set through some miscommunication in the early days before the cars even arrived. I'm not certain of the...

    Any late Nov/Early Dec orderers know where their car is yet?

    Yes I heard yesterday that they had major issues following the merging of tow systems and as of yesterday dealers were still being told they might not have it all up and running until the end of Feb. They were tripping over themselves with cars they couldn't register for customers, but if...

    MG5 seats in an MG4

    When I had my original MG ZS EV Gen 1 on order I thought from test driving the car several times that I couldn't live with the seats and so researched a few upmarket custom seat covers even with Alcatera and adjustable lumber support. Once fitted they would be indistinguishable from a factory...

    SOC Contradiction

    That's because the SR battery Chemistry is LFP and should be charged to 100% to maintain a healthy battery, unlike the LR which has Li-Ion battery chemistry which should only be charged to 80% for daily use and only 100% before a longer trip or routine monthly Cell Balancing on an Equalisation...
