My bolding. You need to challenge your DNO about this! In my early days with my home EVSE (Rolec) I several times experienced it going off-line and shutting down. After several return visits, my installer was able to verify that over-voltage was causing the issue. Each DNO is mandated to...

I have the pre-facelift MG5 rather than a 4 but I'm pretty certain my 12v battery level has never displayed lower than about 12.5v

Although my car is a pre-facelift MG5 (so not directly applicable to this thread/forum) before I took delivery of it I bought two Faraday Pouches from Amazon . One for "everyday use" and one for the spare key. Taking either key right next to the car but inside its pouch, door will not...

As others have said, this is a deliberate safety feature, I think, so that the beeps of the reversing sensors cannot be masked. It was also the case on my previous car, an MG6. Although I have a pre-facelift MG5 I also do not experience the radio muting, merely dropping in level.

I don't have an MG4 so can't directly answer this but on my previous car, a Diesel MG6, there was no rear wiper. Apparently, I was told by my dealer, this was in order to make the car more aerodynamically efficient and keep it in a very low emissions and therefore VED band (when I had the car...

Don't know about the MG4 but the pre-facelift MG5 has exactly this. It's on the end of the indicator stalk. One of my first actions once the car has fully booted up is to check whether the icon for LKA is illuminated on the speedo/GOM screen . If it is (and it isn't always) a quick tap or...

DAB or FM?

Just to add a little to this: I have the pre-facelift MG5 and that website accepted my VIN and allowed me to download the map update. BUT, because my installed SatNav is from Naviextras and these updates are clearly from a different manufacturer, they are not compatible with my car. As already...

@saucebrun Going back to your "Inefficient charging cable" and later question about CCS, I hope you understand that CCS chargers have their own tethered cables? My apologies if you already know that but I wondered whether you were asking about using that "inefficient" cable with a CCS charger.

Assuming your dealer will offer the low mileage service. Not all do.

Just one thing to bear in mind: updates to the maps have to be purchased, at not inconsiderable cost. This has always been the case for built-in MG SatNavs.

@Macadoodle Before buying my MG5 I had a diesel MG6, bought brand new September 2015. When I bought my MG5 my wife sold her (ex-motability) MG3 and took over the MG6. She later sold it (to replace it with a new MG3). For both "sold" cars (my wife's original MG3 and then the MG6) there was...

I'm not an MG4 owner or even prospective purchaser (as my avatar shows) but yes, it is possible that the cost of your PCP can change between the date you sign the order for the car and the date the car actually arrives. The latter becomes the date on which the PCP is "active". You sign to...

Just out of curiosity, what was the outcome to the Tesla "problem"? The behaviour of the delivery centre sounds appalling, if not bordering on illegal! But I fully agree with your final sentence. I wonder how many (if any) owners of "new" cars never experience any sort of problem within the...

@codheadjohn Assuming the MG4 is the same as the 5 in this regard, "Auto" is designed to deliberately and automatically darken the mirror in the event that the headlights on a vehicle following you dazzle you. The fact that you see no difference whether Auto is on or off (on with the green...

True. But then, as already pointed out, ALL cars, whether ICE or EV suffer from "reduced range" in cold, winter weather!

Yes, that's what I was told when I bought the MG6.

Why does the MG4 not have a rear wiper?? On my previous MG6 (Diesel) there was no rear wiper. When I asked the dealer about this I was told the reason was that with a wiper fitted, testing showed that additional drag was created and this would lower its overall efficiency to the extent that it...

Yes, it seems they have! My wife has an MG6 which had its annual service and MOT just a couple of weeks ago. She was looking forward to receiving a "new" bear - we have a total of 6 already, 6 previous services of the car - but the dealer told her they are now discontinued! 😭
