To Update MG4 software or Not?

[Rolfe]

I don't know the version, but now you mention it, the temperature seemed a lot more sane than before.
Last year, we did get a suggestion that the brakes were wearing fast, and would need replaced, along with the further suggestion that we use regen 1 more frequently to clean up the disks, the theory being that the disks become too abrasive. My response was that I expected them to last longer than a year. This year, they just noted that the "brakes" by which I assume they mean the pads, are "40% worn", which, she said, really meant there's 60% left, at the front, and 30% worn at the rear. She ended up "So all OK there."
We also had a report on checking the bodywork for anything untoward, including rust. Again, all clear, which is good, and very thorough, but I suppose that service could be used to find work.

I was getting the same lecture from my local garage, where I took Caliban for a second opinion. They cleaned the brakes off (they had the wheels off to change the tyres back to the original Contis because reasons) and said they were fine. But turn down that regen! Might be worth a new thread discussing the best way to keep the brakes clean - I've been given several suggestions and I'm not convinced turning down the regen is necessarily the best approach.

The bodywork check was thorough, and fine, but then they found what was really minor damage I'd done to the front undertrays and a wheel arch liner on the Hardknott pass, and were really pushy about wanting to replace them all. As well as the brake pads and discs. And regas the aircon. As described in the other thread. Con-artists.

You can check the infotainment version on the screen. But if the HVAC panel on the home screen now says "Climate", you have R38. Interesting that your guy just did it, whereas I practically had to torture it out of Macklin.
