    Advice on Granny chargers

    I cant see why the Cyberster would use a particular granny lead.. they should all be 13A plug protected. I do have an MG one which came with my MG4 but they are basically all the same. I bought a Ford one off ebay for my wifes Renault Zoe years ago and thats been fine, in fact it has a longer...

    Advice on Granny chargers

    I bought a 3 pin socket adapter lead from tough leads for plugging into my MG4 for emergency loads, a lot less than the MG version. I was very impressed, it is chunky, tough and well made. I also would always use this company rather than risking a foreign one.

    First case of Range Anxiety

    That is dicy.. you will get to know over time what the car will do especially if you know the route but also allow for the weather, wind, rain and temperature.. I've been caught out almost with a strong tail wind on the outward leg and the same headwind returning, the difference is remarkable.

    Anyone use a Zappi with Zappi Scheduled charging

    Sounds to me like your battery sees a load and continues charging.. hence the lower power. You can stop this in the zapping settings somewhere. I use intelligent go so a bit out of touch with drilling down in the zappi. Have you tried using the cars scheduling? That may work..

    MG4 SE LR says 100% charge but only 165 miles shows

    165 miles is based on your last journey.. not your next one!

    Wish list of MG4 improvements

    The ability to change the charging power on the app, instead of messing around inside the car.. even then it often reverts to full power ie 7kW if for any reason the charging is paused eg in octopus Intelligent go mode. This would enable me to elongate the charging period and enjoy cheap...

    2nd service

    168 for 2nd service. 88 for first. Blights of Bideford.. I drive 50 miles to them as they are so good value and always good to deal with. This does include a small discount and they clean the car too. And free breakdown cover.

    Best / most efficient regen braking setting?

    I use the medium setting, is it 2? The highest setting is too much I find. As the regen is not 100% efficient ( iv read somewhere it is about 70% efficient). the most efficient setting is the lowest, if that works for you. Ideally not use it all until you get to your destination, otherwise you...

    MG4 Charging port lights stopped working

    It has happened on mine too, very occasionally.. always got back to normal on the next charge. On my previous car, an mg5 , the connector interlock stopped working, altho no problem charging. Fixed free on service but it took them all day, a big job apparently as they have to drop the battery pack!

    Roof bars and towbars - experience please

    I used a Halfords universal type roof bars for my mk.1 MG5, worked a treat. I also bought from there a boot tray also, can't remember what size possibly the largest but you can measure. That was worth it too, in fact I've still got both in the garage as i now have an MG4.
