What we need is somebody to build us something like this for the MG4. TERAGLIDE | Tesla Model Y Trunk Bed | New Zealand-Crafted

Hi Rockstar, As a fan of Node-Red I was interested to see your project, it looks pretty thorough. Nice work. Can you tell me if this is intended to run on Node-Red inside HA or on a standalone instance of Node-Red. I have both available to me and run a mosquito client on both although I...

Just realised I needed a full stop, and not a comma in my first paragraph to make it entirely clear. I had not intended to suggest you needed an Ohme charger to get Octopus Intelligent Go but rather to point out that I knew the Ohme charger worked with "Smart Charging" but was unsure if other...

I agree Octopus Intelligent Go seems very cost-effective for an EV owner. I'm not sure that many people have figured it out yet but although the "official cheap 7.5 pence rate" is normally only available from 23.30 until 05.30, if you have an Ohme Charger (not sure about others) when you plug...

Not sure if this helps but Thule has several Youtube videos showing how to fit their roof racks to the MG4. Also found this company who have a helpful website that shows which Thule roof racks will fit the MG4. I have NO affiliation with this company. Just found them while searching for...

Funny how you don't notice things like this. After reading this thread I just had to go and check my Trophy has the Bonnet sound pad. It has, although as has already been mentioned the car is still fairly noisy as motorway speeds. However, for all its foibles, still happy with my car.

I too had been looking at a similar solution i.e. an isolating transformer but realised that a big enough transformer (at least 5KW intermittent) would be prohibitively expensive for an experiment. The transformer listed on the Screwfix site could however be a good starting point. Perhaps...

After reading this thread I recalled reading whilst waiting for delivery of my MG4 Trophy that the car could be started with a digital key held on your smart phone. Curious, I got out my phone and checked the app and yes, there it was. So a little experiment was in order. First I tried...

Well, that was well-hidden until you know about it, then it's obvious. Many thanks. :giggle:

Interesting thoughts and I had wondered about parasitic losses via onboard electronics such as security devices, Bluetooth, wifi etc. From the various answers I have seen, it seems the MG4s 12V battery is kept topped up by the HV battery but since the HV system depends in turn on the 12V...

Well, I've had my Camden Grey Trophy for just over a week now and I have to say I love it so far. Build quality seems high although the seat fabrics worry me a bit. Hate that I have to remember to switch of LKA every time I drive away but other than that I am enjoying the ownership experience...

Enjoy, Hope you all have a good time. Not sure if they would appreciate being connected to "Chinese MGs" but it might be worth exploring the Scottish MG Owners Club to set up a specialist group.

Yeh that fits. Took mine out for a run a couple of hours ago and it measured 14.4V when I got back. Measured it again 5 min ago and it is back down at 12.8V. Seems to fit with what @stevegus said. The full charge shows over 14V but then the battery settles to a quiescent state of around...

Hmm, nice idea but it's a bit early for me. Before retiring I used to drive from just south of Ayr to Edinburgh a few times a month for work and at that time of the morning just planning trying to get through Glasgow Kingston Bridge was enough to bring me out in a cold sweat. Love the idea of...

I did something similar to my Motorhome a few years ago. My Motorhome dealership organised a repair company who came on site and for (I think) about £150 did a repair that was undetectable after they had finished. I didn't know the name of the company (sorry) but I do know it can be repaired...

Thanks, I tried all those things and still couldn't identify what I am trying to achieve. The issue I have is that my USB Drive has all my Albums listed in separate folders, each folder has the name of the relevant Album and contains the various Album Tracks. When I plug in the USB drive...

Did you ever get an answer to this question? I can't imagine I need a separate USB stick for every album I have. At present, I have about 40 albums on one stick but the MG4 just seems to pick songs to play at random.

Thanks Les, ready mode it is then. Much appreciated.

Thanks for that info, very helpful. It was as I suspected but I was concerned about running the battery down if I was just sitting in the car listening to music whilst waiting for the wife to finish her shopping. Yup, found that thanks. Steep learning curve. This matches my experience which...

MG4s seem to be flooding in now. When I picked mine up last Thursday from Parks Irvine their car park was packed to overflowing with MGs. Lots of sightings of MG4s around Ayr. My son visited yesterday and said he thought he had seen me twice that morning but I had not been out. Hopefully...
