    App error messages now in Thai!

    My App is now refusing to refresh and show any useful data and the car is in the exact same spot it usually is. Even better the message it now gives is in Thai : การเรียกตำแหน่ง/ข้อมูลรถยนต์ล้มเหลว Aka: "Failed to retrieve vehicle location/information." Anyone else?

    Energy consumption screen - really?

    So for the first time since owning the car, I had a quick look at the energy consumption screen today, just for interest, and it seems to be reporting incorrect, optimistic data? So my 12 mile hilly commute this morning, the car used 7% of the battery (so ~4.3kwh of battery) - the report shows...

    Charger trips out during charging

    I acquire my MG4 SE LR today and giving its first charge at home - it keeps tripping out whilst charging - the car started at 33% it is now 55% and has tripped the charger 4 times, never on plugging and I haven't had the patience to wait to find out when it does. Suspect the RCB in the charger...

    How long is the warranty on the rear lights?

    I wasn't sure if I should wait until MG hopefully produces something better before complaining. This plastic is certainly nothing but garbage.

    Video player

    I've been playing with some videos to see if I can find a nice format as I found many videos quite jerky in the past so never persisted. I found even re-encoded to 720p they were still jerky but then I left it a bit longer and the issue resolved. So I went back to the originals, some 1080p, and...

    Trophy Battery Balancing at 41%

    Whilst producing photos for another thread I set my Trophy charging using the granny charger. I was distracted and left it charging beyond the short boost I wanted. It reached 41% before I remember it so I opened the app and set the charge limit to 40%. I wanted to see if the car would stop...

    MG4 orange paint colour

    I have just been to a body shop to get a quote for touching up the scrape on my bumper. They were unable to quote because their paint supplier could not identify the orange paint colour. The code 5ZBP from the information plate did not help. Maybe this code is peculiar to China. Has anyone been...

    MG4 Xpower charging cables

    Hello everyone, I’m new to the forum and just wanted to ask a question. We collected our MG4 Xpower 2 weeks ago and do love the car. My question is should the car have come with the two charging cables that MG advertise on their sales website, or just the one type 2 cable that we received with...

    MG4 - checking/changing fuses

    MG4 - checking/changing fuses The other day I noticed that the 12v socket in the centre console of my MG4 SE LR had stopped working. I'm wondering if it might be that the fuse has blown, so I had a look in the manual and found the info on fuses. My question is, how important is it to disconnect...

    Wheel trim theft?

    One of my MG4 wheel trims 'disappeared' in a garden centre car park whilst we were inside, I had not kerbed my car or collided with anything. I looked to ebay for a new one but those there were all used. Are some people pinching wheel trims only to sell them back on ebay and get a 'good ebayer'...

    Weird clunk

    Very odd one…. Driving along one day at around 25mph I got the most unnerving clunk with weird almost split second loss of power. It sounded mechanical like an auto box banging into gear or really short harsh change. No warning but thought it may have been the emergency thing whacking the...

    Poor emergency stop

    I failed to stop when entering a roundabout behind a driver who changed their mind suddenly. I'm confident that I would have stopped in my last BMW and my wife's Polo, but my MG4 didn’t seem to assist at all, if anything the brakes went a bit spongy. Isn’t it supposed to do emergency stops, even...

    iON Tech 7kW Type 2 Charger - experience/tips?

    For better or worse ;) I bought one of these for our 1 week old MG4 via eBay link - described as: iON Tech 7kW 32A EV Charger 5 Meter Tethered Type 2 Level 2, 5x Cards+ Wi-Fi APP As with a lot of 'cheap' (and I assume Chinese) equipment, likely good hardware is let down by (very) poor manuals...

    Scheduled Charging Solution

    Hi Folks, I've had my MG 4 red Exclusive (Trophy) for 2.5 months. Absolutely love the car but for one annoyance - scheduling charging. Tried all sorts to no avail so I called my MG dealer, they put me through to an engineer and problem solved. He told me clear the cache in the app, log out/log...

    Fix to get MG- ismart app to connect every time.

    I’ve found a fix to connect to MG ismart from your phone every time when away from your car. When the ismart app stops connecting to your car and times out , a way to get it to connect again (this can be done anywhere you are ) press the open button on your cars key then close the car again...

    Wheels not balanced on new car

    Anyone else had their MG4 delivered with the wheels not balanced correctly? I had a slight vibration at 65-70mph. Had the balance checked at the local tyre place - 1mth old and 1k miles - every wheel was out of balance. 2 needed 15g added, one 20g, and one 25g. The tyre place couldn't...
