    Doh!

    Had a Doh! moment this morning. I went to open the tailgate to put the dogs into the car to take them for a walk but it wouldn't open. Tried the driver's door and it still wouldn't open. As I went for the key in my pocket I thought "Oh 🤬, the 12v battery must have gone flat" My next thought...

    Driver's window squeal

    The driver's window had developed a squeal when opening and closing which had been annoying me for a couple of days. Finally got round to fixing it this morning with a quick squirt of silicon spray in the runners. I gave the other window runners a quick squirt while I was at it together with...

    12v Battery Charging

    Last night when I checked the 12v battery voltage on the iSmart app it was showing 12.2v. This morning at 7:00am it had gone down to 12.1v. I haven't driven the car or unlocked it since yesterday afternoon and the last time it was on charge was 6 days ago. I've just checked it again (10:00am) on...

    Breakdown/Emergency Kit

    Gone are the days when I used to keep a selection of tools, wire, rope, WD40, selection of fuses etc. in a small toolbox in the boot together with a knuckle bar with a wheel nut socket attached just in case of a breakdown. What do you keep in MG4 in case of a breakdown or emergency? I have a...

    Ex MG4 owners

    Why do ex MG4 owners repeatedly feel the need to make sure that no-one forgets their bad experience repeatedly on every thread. I know you had problems with the car, your dealer and MG, and understand the upset and frustration you went through, but your attitude is now wearing a little thin...

    R33 update. What does it improve?

    I'm booked in next week to have the infotainment software updated from R24 to R33 on my Trophy because every now and again on start-up the infotainment screen goes black as it tries and decides if it's daylight or not. It does reboot by holding down the home button for a few seconds. I was just...

    Sport mode and dogs in car

    Might I suggest if you have your dog(s) in the back of your MG4 not to use Sport Mode. I decided to engage it when coming back from taking my two greyhounds for their morning walk as I entered a 50mph limit from a 30. I floored the accelerator and the car shot forward. Unfortunately the dogs...

    Trophy driver monitoring

    Someone on FaceAche has posted a picture of a Trophy in Spain which is from their second batch without the eye tracking sensor on top of the steering wheel surround. I don't know if this is because they've listened to all the complaints or just run out of the parts.
