MG4 Trophy LR
Orange Trophy collected this morning to replace an E208.

Need to dig into the various functions etc but had the lane keep assist kick in on the way home and the Peugeot was harsher (although it has a hard disable button).

Now to stick all the AliExpress stuff on it to minimise the damage mini me manages to do!

App is a lot more responsive than the Peugeot too which would often not bother doing anything except show a spinning refresh wheel.
 
Got a noisy AC pump, could hear it when I was setting up the various menus, bonnet open and it's even louder and a slight vibration visible in operation.

Whilst nosing around under the bonnet saw this bit of paper - interesting if nothing else.

Had a quick squint at the undertray prior to signing off collection but difficult to see as was parked near a wall.

Enjoy!

Also, get your head right under the car and see if you have that ill-fitting undertray that a lot of people are still reporting.
My undertray was fine on delivery (about 5 weeks ago)but after a few days a dip appeared on the rear drivers side and then one on the passengers rear side after a few more days.. will be replaced under warranty when a new one comes in. I suspect that it’s poor plastic quality that doesn’t like it too hot…
 
I didn't look properly at mine when I got it because I had strained my back riding a horse the previous week, and anyway I didn't know what I was looking for. I looked last week, and there it is. I'm just getting my entire list of niggles down to tell the dealer the lot, but really the only one that worries me is the undertray. The warbling aircon isn't actually bothering me and anyway we know it can be fixed, and the rest is just software bugs.

Is this on top of the three page letter you said you wrote to your dealer a couple of days ago? ?
 
Fitted some of those AliExpress mudflaps today so looked at the undertray, it is bulging and also looks like the sill sealant robot has had a day off - spots of bare metal visible and I get a good amount of finger nail between the inner and outer sill panels - recipe for future corrosion.

The infotainment is taking some getting used to, as West Oxford have decided to spend a shed load of money on 20 mph road signs it's easier to put the limiter on. Unlike the cruise control this keeps turning itself off.

Surprised they haven't updated the quick flash AC settings page to a bit longer as well.

That all said it's not as bad as the Peugeot we had before which was very obviously corroding on the rear hatch on delivery.

Woaa I hope you are going straight back to the dealer with that. It looks like some of your under tray is not even fixed up.

Are these images showing the lifting points?

It looks like it's been jacked up on the sill.
The undertray looks like at least one of the fasteners has broke loose.
