    Setting up MG4

    I'm in the same camp as @stevegus when it comes to dsg gearboxes. We had 2 early mk2 Leon FRs in petrol then diesel, both with dsg, and loved the option of a relaxing drive for 90% or flappy paddles for some fun in the bends. Then a Cupra, which was a beast with the dsg and 290bhp. I'm sure...

    MG4 Reduction Gearbox Oil Leak

    Thanks @siteguru . There isn't a category for 'new breather fitted but still have a leak' so I've cast a vote as 'have a leak and it is or was more serious' as the breather hasn't fixed it..

    MG4 Reduction Gearbox Oil Leak

    Totally agree @Crawfyp . I had the 'pleasure' of dealing with the infamous Mr. Smart from MG customer service over our AC charging fault and oil leak. He said to get it into a dealer for investigation but in his opinion as it would charge ok on DC charge points and just not on some chargers (ALL...

    MG4 Reduction Gearbox Oil Leak

    Where is the poll Les ? I'll add my 'new breather fitted but still leaks' vote, before I return the car to dealer tomorrow and get our old ZS back.

    MG4 Reduction Gearbox Oil Leak

    Interesting theory but I don't think so. I had put all windows down then up earlier after de-frosting and scraping windscreen so they shouldn't have been frozen shut. There's no sign of foul play and it was on the road side not pavement so unlikely tampered with. Whatever the cause it's...

    MG4 Reduction Gearbox Oil Leak

    Thanks @tsedge . Yes I'll update if I find out, but not even sure I want to drive 90 miles to drop off for repair and (despite the loan of a courtesy car) the same again to collect, whenever that might be. Things are getting a bit close to the holidays and our 30 day limit for rejection is...

    MG4 Reduction Gearbox Oil Leak

    We collected our Trophy model just over 2 weeks ago now after new breather was fitted due to signs of oil leak after PDI. This is our drive with clear signs of oil still leaking. The cars due to go back in Friday but I'm loosing faith in the car now, especially as it won't charge on ANY AC...

    11kw 3 phase charging ion UK Trophy

    Thanks @MuzGB1970 . Likewise I'm no expert despite this being our 3rd EV in 2 yrs, but I'm inclined to agree with you. I suspect it's the car and the AC charging function in some way, as DC charge on a rapid works ok. The car's booked in for the dealer to have a look in a couple of weeks (too...

    11kw 3 phase charging ion UK Trophy

    Apologies if this is a bit off topic but reading this thread has made me think about our current (no pun intended..) issues with charging our MG4 trophy on our home Zappi V2 and whether the trophy's 3 phase charging port vs single phase charging could be causing issues. Our tethered Zappi...

    Live & Connected Services Expiry.

    Thanks @Stageshoot . Time to sign up to Prime then for another year I think, as that will be handy to have on the head unit without connecting to AAuto. Will also be handy for the boxing day live premier games..😁

    Quick question on the built-in Amazon Music sub with the trophy model, does it give you 'unlimited music' level of sub even if you don't have that level on your current Amazon account ?

    Dealer evidence of car en route / estimated delivery

    Anyone know if there's a way of telling the model, SE or Trophy from the VIN and what would the section be that denotes a Trophy model..?

    Tow bar

    Yeah it was a bit of a shock seeing it stripped back, but interesting to see how it all fits together.

    How long "ish" from docks to dealer?

    That would explain a lot. As you say might only be gossip but makes sense why there are long delays in some cars getting to dealers.

    New MG4 Shipment?

    We got our first ZS EV from same dealer, coincidentally in red. Very good to deal with. I got the train up there during winter 2021 lockdown, freezing with snow and drove it home nearly 300 miles charging 3 times...that was an interesting first electric drive..!

    MG4 Reduction Gearbox Oil Leak

    Yeah me too Les, which is why I asked the question. We're still waiting to collect our MG4, soon hopefully, and I'd rather not have to do a long drive back to dealers with a leaky car.

    MG4 Reduction Gearbox Oil Leak

    Thanks for keeping us updated @Miles Roberts CG . Do you know if this fix will be applied only to cars returned to dealers with leak issues or will it also be proactively applied to new cars during PDI before releasing to customers ?
