MG4 recall

[Macadoodle]

I've just collected mine today. It's the rare one, you know, the one with the new breather fitted proactively by the dealer and a flat rear tray. Collector's item ?

Oohh, fancy. Can we all come round to have a look at it ?

Do you know if the dealer saw the oil leak, or signs of the oil leak, which prompted them to have the new breather fitted?

I did ask that question when I collected the car, and was told that the sales manager there (MG Hendy in Poole) was proactive (and obviously informed) and was getting them fitted to all new cars coming in that didn't already have the new style breather fitted.

Oohh, fancy. Can we all come round to have a look at it ?

I may charge an admission fee
Either that or lock it away in a big safe and only bring it out to show other people "Look at what you could have won!".
Now, after saying that I've probably jinxed it so I'll go out to the car and find the rear tray has fallen off and there's buckets of oil all over the drive, won't I?

All cars delivered to date in the UK were built before the first were delivered. So any improvements are likely issues identified at the factory that should never have been delivered (such as the Trophy driver awareness camera) or improvements in the PDI process rectifying issues. True improvements in factory production from experience of the first UK deliveries will not arrive until the New Year.

I will add that mine doesn't have the driver awareness camera, although the option to disable draiver awareness warning is still there. It also stays disabled once selected as well. I'm guessing it just uses monitoring of the steering, throttle etc to judge whether you've nodded off instead.
Also the dreaded LKA can be set to simply warn, rather than steering for you, but I believe that was a recent software update that my car obviously received during PDI.

no we are collecting our trophy tomorrow maybe they spotted it during the PDI

I don't think the Trophy i was to pick up is a one off problem, according to the dealer mine is 3rd in line for the repair....

Heads up everyone. Word is there is a recall coming soon and it’s not for the LKA, leak or tray. Cannot say what it is as promised my source, but you’ll know soon enough.

Yeah, i received a post in the mail yesterday(9 01 23) about a recall. we were advise to send our call to the nearest MG repair center

Locked in my MG4 & unable to escape - Serious Safety Issue

I had a test drive yesterday in MG4 SE. The salesman drove initially and when we stopped to change driver, he said the car was showing a key error. At this point all the doors were locked and the alarm sounder started. We couldn’t open the doors and he was unable to get the car to recognise the...
