I agree. I'm not aware of any MG4 NMC battery fires and there must be hundreds of thousands of such models now. The batteries are made by CATL and I havent heard any scare stories about their batteries.

I bought an SE LR not realising it had NMC batteries. I had planned on getting LFP because of increased safety and longevity. If you are someone who might worry about the risk of a car fire, then choose LFP. However, I'm happy with my purchase for the reasons Rolfe gives. NMC batteries don't...

It would be helpful to know which dealers are now contacting their customers. I bought my MG from Richmond motor group.

In my four months of ownership I've not had an AEB incident, but I always set the sensitivity to low level when getting into the car. I cleaned the small squarish area below the bumper for the first time this week. I'd rather keep the AEB enabled but I can fully understand decision to turn it...

I am with Octopus Intelligent Go. I've just double checked and the price shown is 69p.

I got an Electroverse discount.

Have you checked for a bulging undertray yet? This is now a warranty fix. I've had my MG4SE LR since Sept and it's been a reliable drive as long as you set the driver aids whenever you sit down in the car. Mine came with a very old software release. This has been stable but the heater now seems...

Did our first real road trip in the MG4. Drove from Portsmouth to Cambridge, staying overnight before heading to Ely and then onto Ipswich for another night before returning to Portsmouth via a scenic route. Covered 373 miles. Recharged once at Sainsbury's near Bury St Edmunds within a few...

I might remove the footrest entirely. I think I'd prefer a flat floor.

I'll try that if/when this happens again. It will certainly be quicker and safer than unclipping and reclipping the seat belt.

It only does it occasionally, maybe 6 or 7 times in the last two months. But it's sufficiently inconvenient that I avoiding using it now, relying on autohold instead.

Electronic parking brake, via the pull up switch. Occasionally pushing the accelerator doesn't release it.

Maybe because you don't use the EPB or have a later software version.

To be honest, £120 is not a lot these days. I'd probably pay it. Seems to me though that it would be hard to verify that all the updates had been applied. So from that point of view I'd be tempted to do it myself, but I do have a BSc, MSc and PhD in computing.

At the moment I'm inclined to think this is a software problem. There might be some faulty logic around carrying out checks before releasing the EPB. I need to see if I can recreate the problem on demand. However, it seems that most people just use the autohold so perhaps I should simply go with...
