🎶🎶 I Need An ERO 🎶🎶

[siteguru]

Well - it's done - I now have my own MG4 SE SR in Camden Grey.

Collection all went well and drive back home from the dealer was sweet.

Here's a pic:

More pics can be found here. In there you'll find one of the rear undertray - mine has a small bulge in it (which I recorded on the collection paperwork).

CoC was in the glovebox ... build date 28-Aug-22.

Phone pairing by Bluetooth and Android Auto setup was very easy - worked straightaway with my magnetic plug lead. (Which I've already put in place up through the rubber mat and coiled above/below to tidy it up - push a large flat-blade screwdriver up through the tray hole and the rubber mats lifts off very easily - then clicks back down easily).

Any other questions, just ask.

Nice, still being delivered with privacy glass I see. Type 2 or granny?

The undertray is frankly pretty reasonable, I'd have accepted that.

Good luck!

Excellent, looks nice! The grey is very classy. Did it come with Type 2 or granny cable? Do you know if it had the new breather pipe fitted? What did the dealer say about the small bulge?

I'm picking my orange up tomorrow and I can't wait!

Came with a granny, in a smaller, rectangular case. (Not checked how long the lead is).

The undertray looked a little worse than the photo seems to show hence why I noted it. Not concerned at the mo though.

No breather mod ... the official line is still "If it leaks then we'll do something".

Very nice!!! Our blue trophy landed at Portbury on 17th, how long did it take from docking to dealership (roughly)?

 

[siteguru]

Mine was on the boat that arrived 21-Oct-22, so it's been just over a month from docking to collection. (Might have been quicker but mine went first to another branch of my dealer - which I was expecting; that was late last week, and took a few days to get transported over to my dealer branch).

Enjoy!, so jealous, still patiently waiting for my white Trophy.

Your charge point is a long way from the charge port of the car. Is that deliberate?

The Camden Grey really suits the car and the odd mix of black and chrome adornments as it goes with both.

I know that I'm going to be paranoid about the oil leak when I get my replacement car, particularly if it has an early build date like that.

The photo is deceptive - the Wallbox is only a couple of feet from the end of the wall, and the cable reaches just fine when parked like that, and will even reach if I drive up on to the drive rather than reverse.

(I chose that site for the Wallbox as that side of the house is sheltered from the prevailing weather, and it was also an easy run for the supply cable back to the consumer unit).

 

[BugEyed]

Out of interest, was your car fully charged when you got it?

 

[siteguru]

Yes it was. When I first started driving it home I wondered why there was no regen, then remembered.

Lovely in Grey, mines not looking so nice as it needs a wash.
What is the magnetic lead you are using with the phone?

Same from me- waiting for my blue trophy.

Love the pictures - especially the one with the dog admiring the new car

See my post in this thread below:

USB cable keeps dropping connection - recommendations?

Trying to use Apple Carplay and the connection comes up (i.e. the icon goes white, not greyed out) for a second or two, then the connection drops before I can press the button. Disconnecting and reconnecting the cable has the same effect, car play becomes briefly available and then drops out...

When we swap our ZS EV for the MG4 tomorrow I'll have to remember to park the other way round on the driveway from what we're used to, so the lead reaches!

I found that took a while - first couple of times was easy then habit kicked in.

 

[Retsiba]

Very nice looking.

 

[siteguru]

Another thing - binding with the app. Very easy and worked right away. (Again, this was done after Bluetooth pairing - no idea if that is relevant but it is what I did).

Infotainment SW version is R13 and no AA pre-production message.

And the app does allow me to set a charge limit (I have an SE SR, so LFP battery) - not tried it though to see if it actually does limit the charge.

The app also shows the warning messages about Charge Port Overheating and High Temperature - but these are app/server faults I reckon rather than there being anything wrong with the car.

Very nice looking.

Agreed. It looks very smart in Camden Grey!

Hi all,

l’m a newbie here. Will be collecting my new Trophy in a few days’ time, hope the granny cable would be included together with the type 2 one.

Happy motoring
