Am curious about how old owner drivers of the MG4 are. Its sporty looks and speed should appeal to boy/girl racers but I get a feeling that many forum contributors are in their 60s. Do vote. Thank you

Anyone have knowledge or experience of this fault code which the AA diagnosed on my 10 month old Trophy? I have been happily charging the car since new on a 7 kWh charger at home with occasional charges on fast chargers. Yesterday I tried to top up at a Gridserve 350 kWh charger. It didn’t...

Sorry, but just about everything about the radio is awful and very distracting if trying to change stations whilst you are driving. My workaround is to use a combination of Apple CarPlay, and the BBC Sounds app and the TuneIn Radio app. Connect your iPhone to the car with a cable. Say ‘Hey...

Was this bit of the car designed by the Work Experience boy? Is MG so confident with its quality that it knows a fuse will never need replacing? Is it to dissuade DIY retrofitting of accessories eg dash cams so that owners are more likely to go to their dealer? (Unlikely as MG don’t make any...

Am very impressed with the inbuilt satnav in the Trophy. I use it all the time rather than worrying about Carplay dropping out and losing Waze or Google Maps. It’s significantly better than my old stick-on Garmin Good points: Voice is natural and clear (but you cannot select a different voice)...

An expensive way to help escape from the car if it locks you in would be to hide a spare key and fob in the front bonnet area and hope someone is around and able to extract the blade key and open the driver’s door (you would need to release the bonnet catch first). But would having an additional...

Does anyone know who is behind the MG Recall Checker website? Is it MG? If not, is it trustworthy and accurate? https://mgrecallchecker.co.uk/ I picked up my Trophy on 29 December ie after the compulsory “locked in” update was rolled out. I asked the salesman if the update had been done and he...

I asked MG Customer services which headlamp deflectors I would need if driving in Europe and also whether the speedometer changed automatically from MPH to KPH based on GPS position. This was the reply: “The MG4 includes what is known as a flat beam. No adjustment is therefore required for...

Not a fan of the adaptive cruise control as it jerks and brakes like a bucking bronco. Is there anyway to have cruise control without the adaptive bit (ie the car maintains a set speed until you accelerate or brake). I have tried the Speed Limit Assist setting whereby you set an upper speed...

There are a few threads on here about MG4 12v battery failures that have caused numerous issues. I park my car well away from any plug that I could use for a battery charger so I am wondering if I could use my V2L cable connected to my car to attach a battery charger to charge my 12v battery...

Lidl has a cut to size rubber boot liner for £6.99. Nothing special but it does the job. Lidl also has these seat pads for £5.99 each. I think they look good pending any decent made to measure seat covers. They attach with elastic bands. Although not designed for rear seats, 2 of them work...

Might be worth printing this and keeping in the car in case the unthinkable happens https://www.mg.co.uk/sites/default/files/2022-10/MG4_EV_Rescue_Manual.pdf

There’s an MG4 write off on eBay. Although the ad is for one wheel nut only!, you can contact the seller if you need other bits...

My dealer is expecting 10 MGs before the end of the year. He‘s hoping my MG4 Trophy will be one of them. How long does it normally take a dealer to PDI a car? I imagine loading lots of software updates could be time consuming. And if 9 or 10 cars rock up on the same transporter there’ll be a...

If (and only if) you ordered a Trophy in August 2022 please say when you receive it.

Am tempted to chase cars in stock and buy if one comes available even if I have to travel a long distance to get it. Given high demand for these cars I think my local dealer (with whom I have an MG4 order but no delivery date) would be happy to release my order to someone else and do my...

Looks like distribution of the first batch of 1000 is underway (maybe approx 250 demo and showroom cars plus 750 for buyers). My dealer phoned to say my Trophy was not in his first batch and the second batch is due Oct / Nov. Does anyone know when the second batch of 1000 is due to arrive at...

There’s a lot of comment (particularly on Facebook) about the poor quality of stitching and finishing of the seats. There’s comment too about comfort but comfort is personal and subjective. Decent (and expensive) tailored seat covers would help with the aesthetics but I don’t think MG make...

I do not doubt the complexities of launching a new car but the MG4 launch seems very uncoordinated. ideally you would have the following available at the same time as the press launch: Demonstrators and display cars in place and ready for test drive booking Clarification to all dealers on what...

Many reviews lament the lack of physical buttons and comment that you have to use the touch screen to make most adjustments. Do you know if you can use voice commands to control the a/c eg turn it on or off and adjust the temperature?
