    23 plate Trophy USB port

    No it doesn't, plugged in the USB and it's not recognised so it looks like Bluetooth from the phone!

    23 plate Trophy USB port

    Never thought of that, I'll give it a try after the service!

    First MOT, major fail, both front suspension bushes

    I've just had my 23 plate 3rd service at 18000 miles with an MOT due in 1 month. I've been advised that my bushes are also worn and may not pass the test. They've also quoted £750 to replace them, and that's the local MG dealer who've done all the servicing so far. Would/should this be covered...

    23 plate Trophy USB port

    Haven't posted for quite a while as my wife almost wrote the car off. It's been off the road for nearly 6 months but now I'm back with a new problem. The USB port that I use for all my music has become detached so I can't plug in my music. According to the dealer it's not covered by any...

    MG4 rebuild

    I agree, and it's ongoing. No wonder insurance is so expensive these days.

    MG4 rebuild

    7 months ago my 23 plate MG4 trophy was almost written off.....I thought it was, the assessor said no. The front end was completely rebuilt by the insurers appointed bodywork specialist which took 3 months because of parts holdups. The car was then sent to an MG dealer to finalise electrical...

    Power Steering Issues

    My power steering issues are far worse. I was thankfully in a car park turning into an empty bay when I lost all steering. The steering wheel could spin freely in either direction without affecting the wheels. The MG dealer says the steering wheel has become disengaged and the clock spring is...

    Cracks in rear light plastic - internal

    I'm thinking that it may have been a dodgy batch. I've checked mine on a 23 plate, and no sign of chipping or cracking inside or out!

    Replacing a lost key

    Not replacing a lost key, but when the battery failed on my main key I tried replacing it and.....ping.....a small internal spring went flying. I held the key together with tape and contacted my dealer to get a new spring. No chance, I had to buy a new key at £350. I contacted MG UK to complain...

    Cracks in rear light plastic - internal

    I need to check for possible cracks, my problem is condensation in the light bar near the centre. I haven't seen any cracks but I'll have a closer look. I have made the dealer aware and they said keep an eye on it and if it persists in dry weather then take it back. 23 plate Trophy.

    MG4 Software updates

    So it doesn't only happen with the MG4 then......that's comforting to know 🙃

    MG4 Software updates

    Thanks for the tips on renaming tracks. It's extremely odious but I've just renamed all the tracks on my USB. I did each album separately using a different letter for each album, so you can have a total of 26 albums without complications - that should be enough for most people! Also, if you go...

    MG4 granny charging

    I thought that the problem solved itself, but no....I plugged it in and it started charging so I left it overnight. The following morning it had added about 5 miles only so back to square one. After further investigation I tapped the charging section on the main screen and found that the charge...
