    Is it just me?

    Does anyone else take everything out of the car before taking it in for a service? My brother and friends tend to leave all the paraphernalia in their cars when they take theirs to be serviced or repaired whereas I remove everything apart from a cloth to wipe the windows. I use it as an excuse...

    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...

    MG logo on Ali Express MG4 accessories

    Just read on Facebook that it looks like MG are starting to clamp down on unofficial accessories bearing the MG logo. So items like the black MG cover for the bonnet and MG branded sill protectors etc will become unobtainable.

    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...

    Poor quality car mats

    Has anyone else had a problem with their car mats purchased from CarMats.co.uk? I've only driven the car for just over 1000 miles and the driver's mat is already showing wear on the corners and the heel pad is in the wrong place. I've got size 11 feet and my right heel is still to far forward...

    Warning if you are thinking about going to full fibre broadband

    I am in the process of upgrading to full fibre broadband without a landline as no-one called me on it nowadays as I use my mobile for phone calls. The engineer removed the old copper cables and replaced it with fibre. He then rang Openreach to activate the line but they couldn't do it for...

    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...

    Lithium Jump Starter Warning

    After reading about the MG4 sometimes having a flat 12v battery I purchased a lithium jump starter to keep in the glove box just in case. I didn't want to pay for one of the big names but neither did I want a questionable Chinese knock off so I went for a Ring branded one from Amazon that was on...

    Up To Front Seats Boot Liner

    I've been in contact with Rhino UK Bootliners Ltd. in Leicester who produce car boot liners which are made to fit with the back seats folded down so if like me you put two largish dogs in the back of your MG or push-bikes etc they might be worth looking at. Although they don't have the MG4...

    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...
