One thing that still bugs me is the little white light that is always on in the overhead light cluster. It stops the cabin being properly dark at night. Has anyone successfully removed this and is it difficult?

What car recently put this out. Some interesting conclusions: Tesla most efficient by some margin MG4 joint sixth most efficient, mid-table Many cars overestimate or underestimate their efficiency by a lot, MG4 and Tesla spot on accuracy, BYDs and others lie a lot. (could this be down to...

Hi, Having gone from no AC charging, I have just had my car fixed and updated. Now it seems we can't stop it charging - the car is ignoring the charge limit that is set. For example last night it went from 63% to 100% despite an 80% limit set and visible both in the app and on the car. I...

I've had this advice confirmed by several different charger makers on their helpline: - Generally if the charger lets you, authorise the charge before you plug in as it saves having to plug and unplug if it doesn't work for some reason. - Use the app if it exists to pay for the charge: much...

We were out today for a Sunday xmas fayre to an old country house with a muddy field car park. It was an interesting test of RWD traction in the mud. We had trouble reversing up a slope. usual one wheel spinning, the other doing nothing. When we got going forward, it was better, got some...

Hi, Going on an unfamiliar road trip soon and am planning to use MFG chargers en route, since it is convenient. But I have a nagging doubt there were MG4 compatibility issues at one time - does anyone know the current situation and anyone reliably rapid CCS charge on these without issues...

Hi, I've noticed my iPhone is consistently overheating when plugged in to my MG4, as it seems to be wirelessly charging and this always makes the phone hot. My battery health isn't brilliant and I think getting the phone hot repeatedly is contributing to this. So I am seeking ways to disable...

I think it is time after a year to survey dealer warranty experiences. Last time many people had not yet needed to visit the dealer, so hopefully the results will be more useful this time. Please only vote if you have (or did have) an MG4. If you've had multiple visits for multiple issues...

Hi, I am off to France for a short trip and will be getting an EV hire car. Anyone know if hire car companies in France provide a choice of cables (i.e. granny, type 2) and any charger memberships? Or am I supposed to sort something out? I have time to prepare and know France well but not...

I need to change the password on my iSmart binding. Is there a simple way to do this or do I have to contact the dealer? Thanks.

Could you post a picture? Would help us understand what you mean.

Hi, There's a lot of talk about bad dealers but little data - one or two bad or good experiences is not necessarily representative even in the same dealer group, let alone across dealers. This poll is intended to shed light on experiences with the MG4 only, that's deliberate because it is the...

Hi, To give something back to this very helpful forum, I have created what I hope will be a useful tool. This is intended to complement the excellent Hints & Tips resource. This tool is a Google Sheet that tracks all the faults reported on the forum in the last 3 months (plus a few I remember...

We've switched to Octopus Go and I've set a charge schedule on the car for 00:30 to 04:30, plugged into the Zappi, then left the car - but the car is charging straight away! We've got the Zappi on Fast charge mode. How do I get it to charge using the scheduled times instead? Any help...

Hi, I'm trying to bind my other half's phone to the car with the MG iSmart app but unless I am going mad, the Users menu is not showing so I can't get in. How does one bind a second phone? Do I have to unbind my phone first? Any advice gratefully received! I am aware that you cannot have...

Just getting to grips with CarPlay on the MG4, all working but I need a better cable. The ones we have are too good in the sense that it is hard to bend over the end to fit the phone on the charging mat. Our phones are nearly as big as the mat. Really need a right angle connector to make it...

Hi folks, I know there are a few waiting to collect with the new registration and wondering about whether their PCP interest rate will be honoured. I asked my dealer to give me all the updated figures in advance (I hate the pressure of finding out on the day when collecting). The bad news is...

Hi folks, So she is due to be collected 4th March, we already have a Zappi and a printed manual (thanks @Sloucher!) but want else do I need? I assume we will get given a granny charger. We have got Electroverse cards from Octopus. This is our first EV. On my list so far is: Mats and boot...

Hi, Early on it was hard to get insurance for an MG4, but hopefully that has changed. Who have people gone with in the last few weeks that gave you a good deal? Thanks.

I have been waiting a long time, so I thought I’d ask the new ChatGPT AI system to compose a poem for me. Here’s what it came up with, with my request first. Me: Write me a poem about waiting for my new electric car, an MG4, which I am very much looking forward to but is taking a long time to...
