Beautiful!

Cheers. I registered but I can't see the checker. Any chance of a link? Scratch that. I've found it! Yes, defo September as mine was made the day after yours (2024-09-13) and there aren't 13 months!

Congratulations on your new ride! How did you get the production date from the vin though? I can't make head nor tail of my vin!

Good idea. Thanks

I've heard that the price of service plans can vary between dealers and that sometimes it's cheaper to buy through the mg portal. I can't get a quote using the portal yet because the car reg isn't recognised as I don't collect it until Thursday. Presumably you can take out the service plan...

Ok I'll request that the dealer does the update before I collect the car. I did say they before I ordered it so hopefully they'll do it. Surely all updates should be applied at the first service if not on delivery at least? Unfortunately it looks like my "new" car was actually made in 2022 and...

Thanks for responding so quickly. I need to check it has R38 installed when I collect the car next week then. Are there many bugs with R38 that folk have reported?

From what I've read, the most recent Infotainment software seems to vary according to the MG4 version? Does anyone know the latest software version for the base model SE standard range? Is it R63? Thanks

Just to clarify, in your second scenario, the whole house gets cheap rate electricity from 8pm to 4am? If so that's very handy!

Thank you

You clearly know your stuff Terry. So would you concur that it is best practice to charge to (what the car tells me) is 100% every day, and should I occasionally charge to 100% uninterrupted (and if she, how often?). Cheers

Ok thank you. I thought that with octopus go you set the desired charge percentage through the octopus app. So I guess I should always set it to 100%.

I'm soon to take delivery of a standard range mg4. I am getting a myenergi 7kw charger and intend to use Octopus intelligent go. I've read that the LFP batteries on the SE can be safely charged to 100% on a regular basis, as opposed to 80% with other battery technology. What is best practice in...

Yes, I'll shop around both for insurance and paint/upholstery protection. Thanks for the advice. I doubt they will include floor/boot mats. Are there particular ones which people have found to be decent and reasonably priced?

Thanks for your answers. I've not seen the car so I don't know re rear wiper. I assume the dealership orders them in after the purchase. But from what you've said, it sounds like it is a new spec despite being made in 2022. Strange! I think I'll decline the care package. (Yes it certainly seems...
