I can now answer my initial query of 13/12/24. My MG4 does have a working Pedestrian Alert System (PAS or AVAS) but it is so quiet that you can’t hear it! - unless you know what you are listening for. At low speeds the PAS sounds continuously (not just when the car’s sensors detect a...

I have an Ohme charger on octopus intelligent tariff. It charges at 7kW all the time, but it’s always at night with no other load on the circuits. When my charger was installed 15m ago I only had a 60A fuse (1938 house). My DNO upgraded this to 100A for free. All new houses have 100A fitted...

See my reply below - it’s got detached from your comment.

Thanks for this. I’ve listened to it before, and not noticed any PAS noise, but I now agree that there is a whirr when the PAS is connected that you don’t hear with the PAS disconnected. If that whirr is the PAS and it’s the correct volume, I doubt if any pedestrian would notice it! But mine...

👍Bring back the hooters with the big rubber squeezy bulb. Toad of Toad Hall will ride again! They’ve checked the sensor, which shows a silhouette of a pedestrian on the screen when passing a pedestrian, and they’ve replaced the ‘loud’speaker but still nothing sounds. They’ve also reloaded and...

I posted a query couple of days ago asking if anyone had a working Pedestrian Alert on their MG4. I have a UK 2023 Trophy Long-Range, and the Alert has never worked. My dealer says it has checked the Alert thoroughly, but can't get it to work. They are now raising a 'technical case' (for at...
