    AA Breakdown duration, more than 12 months?

    Seems this is UK only. Though if you buy your MG in the EU it applies to the whole of the EU. Another Brexit win! I would like to pop over to France soon. Any advice on how you get cover over there?

    MG4 - Am I right in thinking this could be the right fit for me?

    Not convinced going electric makes sense if you can't home charge. You end up paying so much more and wondering whether you can plug in or not. Seems to me the biggest bar to wider ownership. Not that the government seem,seem to acknowledge it. Though if you can charge reliably at work that may...

    Going away for a week's holiday - do I power off the MG4 completely?

    I was going to leave mine at Heathrow and chickened out at the thought of handing over the keys. Are car park people savvy with evs?

    Going away for a week's holiday - do I power off the MG4 completely?

    That's what I thought. The power bank jump starters do look useful though for other things too. Saw this on Amazon and I assume it could start the MG4 if the 12v was dead for some reason.

    Going away for a week's holiday - do I power off the MG4 completely?

    'Don't leave it with a full battery?' Sorry don't understand. Why? What level of battery is good? I'd normally leave it at the usual 80%. Yes - saw those power bank things. Sound a good idea.

    Going away for a week's holiday - do I power off the MG4 completely?

    I can't see the difference between that and just hitting lock when you leave it either. Was just puzzled the dealer mentioned it. I do make a point of checking what I've been told. Seems to me I just lock as usual even if it's not going to be used for a week or so. Guess I could leave it with...

    Going away for a week's holiday - do I power off the MG4 completely?

    What it says in the headline. I won't be using the MG4 for eight days or so. The dealer said in these circumstances you should do a complete power down. But I've learned to question everything I've heard. Normally I just hit park and leave it. Is a complete power down a good idea? I do know how...

    Ejector seat command fail

    Have to say she sounds quite snappy when she says 'Yes?!?' Perhaps because I've changed the startup message to 'Greetings master.' This thing is so much fun. My passenger this morning, a very picky retired top driving instructor, loved it.

    Ejector seat command fail

    Had a mouthy passenger so I said 'Hello Mg, activate passenger side ejector seat.' Long pause then she came back and said, 'Pardon?' 😂

    State of Community check

    Had mine ten days. Nicest car I’ve ever driven. Still getting used to the fact I need to adapt and learn some new skills. It is a complex piece of kit and I’m sure if I worked at it I could find something to gripe about. But can’t be bothered. So long as it’s comfy, reliable and a pleasure to...

    Does the charging nag ever go away?

    Thanks. Thought it was there permanently. Doesn't bother me but OH is nervous about the concept of EVs. Bit of a ridiculous message really.

    Does the charging nag ever go away?

    OH is concerned there's always a message 'please plug in the charge connector' on the infotaintment screen even when it's got plenty of charge. Is that how it's meant to be? Any way of turning it off? I guess it comes on if you set up for say 80% then fell below it. But seems a bit daft to start...

    Sounds about right! Thanks so much.

    Picked up my MG4 Trophy today! Some thoughts...

    Thinking about the journey ahead doesn't bother me at all. It won't take long and I think it's important I accept this isn't like a petrol vehicle where you hop in, head off and work out what you're doing on the road. That was a bad habit picked up over years. Happy to lose it. Seems to me...

    Picked up my MG4 Trophy today! Some thoughts...

    I've seen people in the local village get in their car to go to the shops a quarter of a mile away. School traffic is a nightmare, mostly SUVs with one adult and one child inside. If I went back to living in London I'd never own a car. No point.

    Picked up my MG4 Trophy today! Some thoughts...

    My plan is to ask myself what kind of journey I'm about to embark on before setting off then set up the car for the task. No big deal. Am puzzled why the LKA was kicking on when I set the adaptive cruise - don't think the two are supposed to be linked. But will keep exploring. It did seem to...

    Picked up my MG4 Trophy today! Some thoughts...

    I don't get people commuting alone in SUVs either. I had one because we are way out in the country on roads that are mainly potholes with a bit of tarmac in between, and I had offspring and their property to ferry to and fro. They have their own vehicles now and I just don't need something of...

    Picked up my MG4 Trophy today! Some thoughts...

    Well it's day one but I certainly think I was starting to go easy on the pedal and think ahead to get the regenerative braking. All good driving habits I'd say, rather than flooring it then pouncing on the brake pedal shortly after. A whole new way of driving it seems to me. I wonder what...
