    MG4 granny charging

    As per a recent post, I've just had a service and software upgrade. Before said service I could plug my car into the home granny charger at any time of day or night and leave it for as long or short a time as necessary so it's usually at 100% balanced. This is probably a silly question but since...

    MG4 Software updates

    I was going to ask....nay insist the latest updates be installed but the garage told me they were part of the service package and would be installed free of charge during the service. They had the car for a full day, so no complaints there except for the fact that the service was 2 months late...

    MG4 Software updates

    Yes, one folder per album, all tracks numbered as per original album. A sound engineer has been paid a lot of money to place all tracks in a particular order so that the album flows (with the exception of greatest hits and various artist compilations), so who am I to come along and rearrange the...

    MG4 Software updates

    When I first purchased my 23 plate MG4, I had 2 real gripes....the first being the awful infotainment system that insisted on downloading all music from a USB stick and loading it all in alphabetical order regardless of artist or album. Sacrilege. The 2nd was the life-threatening LKA system that...

    First Wash In Three Months

    My car's the same colour as the OP, but before I picked it up I had it treated with Gardx (other options available). I occasionally wash it with snofoam under pressure as it's not recommended to run it through a carwash because of the chemicals. It always looks good after a wash, but on our...

    Car shut down

    Long waits appear to be a too-common occurrence. I was contacted mid-December by my dealer in Portsmouth to inform me it was time for my yearly service. I contacted them and the earliest they could book me in was mid February so I agreed. 2 days later they contacted me to tell me they'd made a...

    Unfixable MG4 Trophy?

    This is why eventually we will all just buy a Tesla. Not at their prices, and lack of actual buttons........

    Zero Car Tax to £195/Yr.

    If I read the Government web site correctly EV's will not pay road tax until 2030: Vehicle tax rates Having clicked on the link, I can see no mention of 2030!!

    Battery heating system

    Not sure if my 23 plate Trophy LR (no rear screen wiper) has heat pumps. When I do a search on the 2 MG4 manuals I have I get 0 hits!

    Anatomy of a near miss.

    I don't think that you were driving too fast, more a case of the usual "My vehicle is bigger than yours so I'm safe and I'm pulling out regardless" syndrome! Too many drivers like that on the roads these days. Looking at the video, it didn't look like there were any road markings which makes it...

    Richmond Portsmouth - MG Dealer Discussion, Opinions & Experiences

    Like most comments here the sales team in Portsmouth are very helpful and friendly, but at the risk of being put at the back of a long queue the service times are extremely slow. Booking times seem to be at least a 2 month wait, much longer if the parts are not in stock/available. I haven't been...

    Charge from a portable battery

    I'd go along with the latter solution!!

    MG4, not a good car.

    Please excuse my ignorance on the subject, but what on earth is the under tray bulge?

    MG4 suddenly stopped (automatic emergency braking)

    That's standard front anti-collision stuff, you can turn it off (every time you start the car...grrrr)!
