    Pointless journeys

    I,ve just been to my local supermarket ( 4kms return trip ) and somehow have done 50 kms. When looking at the odometer I reckon 35% of the amount has just been hooning around. So much for being ecologically minded.

    Vacuuming

    If you are vacuuming the interior be careful on the rear door arm rest recesses, at the bottom there is a loose rubber insert which could easily disappear up your pipe.

    SR, DRLs

    With a break in the weather decided to give the car a wash and whilst preparing everything the car was sitting there with the DRLs illuminated . The front right (from the inside) remained cool to the touch, but the left hand side was quite warm on the upper segment of the LEDs whilst the other...

    MG4 23000 euros

    The ecological bonus in France which is being taken away from the MG4 because it does not meet certain conditions , MG has responded by dropping the price of the 51 kWh version to a shade under 23000 euros. This is according to Turbo.fr and Bing.

    Investment opportunity

    Could the MG4 be described as a modern peoples car, the 1st mass produced electric car which is affordable (?) like a modern Ford Model T . As such would any one think of buying one to put into mothballs in a cossetted private garage to pass on to future generations as an investment and legacy...

    12v battery and Noco booster

    Has anyone had to use this booster or any other in anger and did it work as expected? We all think we know the theory of how to use them on a EV but does that match the actuality. Scenario, you get back to the car and its dead, you had the foresight to buy said item, so dismantle the key ring...

    LKA permanently off button

    I started a new thread on this so it does not get lost. Firstly may I be the first to congratulate MG for giving us the ability to turn off LKA without it defaulting back on . This is for the mark 2 SE LR but may also be applicable to yours, it has another advantage and a couple of possible...

    New Zealand

    Just seen a video of the SE released in New Zealand and it appears their version gets a rear camera and external temperature gauge on the infotainment screen and all for 20 grand approx conversion into pounds. Any one else jealous?

    The trouble with knobs

    Last night, went for a joy drive, as you do. Tried sport mode and turned off all the nasties. Brake, select drive and off we go, the first 500m is on a badly surfaced narrow downhill track to a small crossroads. Car picks up speed , faster and faster, where is my regen ? brake ,brake harder, ...

    SE version night driving

    As my last post was hijacked by Trophy owning twitchers , this is just for SE owners. Last night was my first driving with the headlights on . Others have said that the beams although good (in part) that they are too narrow in both vertical and horizontal planes. I agree, even altering the bias...

    Speedo alternatives

    On a LKA post some have mentioned that Android auto/ google maps have accurate speedometer readings, does anyone know of an associated app which would display this on the infotainment screen in an old fashioned dial and needle configuration. I find that the constant changing digital display...

    First scheduled charge

    Last night gave the car its first charge. I have a 3 phase Morec 11kw box , plugged in and was monitoring every hour, the morec box gives you a battery temperature display. At the start temp was 28c and charging 10.2 kw after a hour 10.2 kw and 60 c , later 10.2kw and 62.2c. I was putting in...

    Ceci n,est pas une pipe

    After a bit of hooning around and discovering that the go faster pedal has more travel than my better half has up to now not allowed, I can say that this is not a car , its a ruddy time machine. With 62 years on the clock and lots of years of no claims bonuses and a nice clean licence ( about to...

    Radio

    France is currently installing DAB+ radio stations onto its system , I cannot pick up any of these because or one of two reasons, 1 the stations are late and not yet up and running, or the car only picks up DAB stations and not DAB+ , I get FM fine. The manual is not clear on which system it...

    Undertray bodgy fix

    When collected had a slightly wavy undertray with one gap around 15mm and another 10 mm, I had a piece of builders galvanised angle 34*24*0.6mm which cost around 5 euros for 3m. ( French version B and Q ). I cut it to 1200mm and folded it into a u shape with gentle and gradual hammer strokes...

    First impressions

    Picked the car up this morning and travelled the 40 kms back home on mixed driving. Used 22kw per 100km (normal) energy s or around 8.8 kw or 4.5 kms/kw , we live in a hilly area and got stuck behind slow traffic so I probably expected better, but hey time will tell. With the hills we get lots...

    A weighty problem

    I think we can all agree that the MG5 is a physically larger car than the MG4 , longer, more glass area etc so apart from it having a smaller motor (batteries around the same size) does it weigh around 80-90 kilos (5%) less? Its on an older platform which you could possibly expect to be heavier...

    Registration document

    Hi all, finally picking up the car on Tuesday and the dealer has sent through a Carte Grise ( provisional ) which is the French equivalent to a Registration document. Couple of strange items to report, First, for the SE LR it records it has having a maximum net power of 68 kw , a bit down on MG...

    Reversing in neutral?

    I have a short uphill stretch (50m) to my parking place in front of the house. In an ice car to reverse out I leave it in neutral and let it roll backwards out of the property on to a very quiet lane, controlling it on the brakes. With the MG4 on the flat putting it in D or R and letting the...
