I just had my car serviced and the recall update was carried out, and now it seems that LKA is virtually warning only, not much steering input at all, but the bleep is still annoying on longer runs so I'll still be disabling it.

Just had second service done, I changed the battery on your key and the price reduced from £236 to £227, small saving but every little helps. What worries me is there is no book to stamp, and you cannot see the document even online, so make sure you get the invoice and keep safe

I think the reason the MG4 got such a poor reliability rating is because the 1st Gen MG4 NMC 3 phase battery charging system had a quality issue that meant after about a year to 18 months would fail and need to be replaced (happened to me). On top of that the software was only 70% ready for...

Just rang around the different garages nearby (with 1 battery full of charge to get there), and the prices are wildly different: Drive (WSM) - £236 Baylis (Gloucester) - £351.79 Blight (Bideford) - £199 (I agree with the above!) Nathaniel MG (Cwmbran) - £304.70 A surprising spread of £152, you...

Just got a quote for 2nd service of £236.30, that seems quite expensive. Going to shop around, might do a drive to Bideford! This was at Drive of Weston-super-Mare. MG4 trophy

In the MG4, in winter I do not reset the counters as the GOM looks at the previous driving and tries to get it to match that driving, but if you just do lots of motorway driving then the best results from the GOM is set the car heating on, the drive mode in normal and the GOM then reports what...

Has anyone else had issues with the MG4 windscreen, just the smallest stone touching the screen and it chips, on my 3rd chip now

Not sure if the MG breakdown will be honoured if you do not go to an MG service centre, but there are other breakdown covers available!

Actual Miles following Remaining Miles on GOM, 100 mile travelled 100 miles gone on GOM

I have been doing some longer driving (motorway) and after a long run and charge the GOM is about right if you select Normal Driving rather than Eco as when doing the motorway driving ECO is a bit pointless. I did a run to Norfolk and the GOM lied a bit, on return and selecting Normal it...

That is my take on it as well, MG seem to have a fixed rate of £139 and this extends the MG breakdown cover, so your dealer seems to be taking the p!$$ unless the combine amount is £36 less than £139 and then perhaps it's a saving!!

And I bet you didn't have to pay parking charges to boot

I come from the south so I use the Gridserve Hub at Norwich (79p kW/h), but this make the journey expensive, I will now be using the cheaper alternative at North Walsham, and my point is why, on long runs am I being penalised with expensive electric, or cheaper electric and carpark charges, the...

You're correct, the place I visit regularly is North Walsham, and there is one 50kW charger. This didn't work for while but does now, waiting in an industrial estate that is on the edge of town does not float my boat. The next ones are in Bank Loke Car park, you can charge there but they incur...

I go back to my original post where the only places to charge are the slow chargers, so there is no alternative. This is the case in deepest darkest Norfolk.
