    One full year of ownership

    I am going to retain the car until technology evolves and the market matures. Then I will consider my position and look at purchasing a higher quality vehicle, if things develop and align as I expect.

    Yes... under the bonnet there are 4x adjusters. Two on the underside of the bonnet and two at the front either side of the bonnet latch. They are black knobs which you adjust by hand. These raise and lower the bonnet height. The foam I used to better guard against wind ingress under the bonnet...

    Yes, I used some thin fishing line. Then heated the badge with a hair dryer before gently running the fishing line under the badge using a sawing motion. Any gunge remaining can be easily removed with a mild soap or equivalent and a cloth. Paint work then remains untouched.

    One full year of ownership

    So, bit of a long and final post, however, after one full year of ownership, I thought I would share my approach, experiences, highs and lows. Hopefully anyone looking to 'dive in' with MG will find it useful. Approach The EV market was and still is, in its infancy and will develop, so I did...

    Brakes release timing and oil leak?

    Once you have released the brake pedal and the car is not moving with the car in 'Drive', press the brake pedal again and release it, the car should then crawl forwards

    MG4 Comfort has cabin vibration:(

    As you mention it only occurs at a certain speed, try adjusting your bonnet level. If you open the bonnet there are two block knobs either side at the front on the body work which adjust the height of the bonnet when shut, they can be adjusted by hand. I had a problem with noise at about 60 mph...

    Since I changed the blinkers to LED DAB fades away

    Hey @Scoozy Where I live I have quite a long unlit drive which I like to reverse down. Doing this with the standard reversing bulbs was quite a challenge until I swapped them for LED bulbs, now it lights the way nicely. I also did the indicators too whilst I was there and also found the DAB...

    MG4 Undertray dip/bulge

    I see where you are coming from, but just because it can't be seen, doesn't make it acceptable and I would hate to be driving around with a potentially costly time-bomb under my car. From what I have heard it's a £700 replacement part.

    MG4 Undertray dip/bulge

    So let's be clear.... if you found your car had large gaps with door alignments, would that be acceptable because it's not a safety issue ?... of course not. This is in effect a poor standard of parts and or installation quality. In short it's unacceptable on a brand new car and creates the...

    MG4 EV Charging Cost with EON

    That's a really poor show from BG. I'm with Octopus on their 'Go' tariff with cheap overnight and a Landis SMET2 meter. Octopus take the 1/2 hourly readings and bill me accordingly. Nothing smart from my Landis meter or IHD.
