Breakdown/Emergency Kit

Just the MG Breakdown phone number you get what you buy the car. And of course the charging cable.

I have survival ‘space blanket’ and a tin of Werther’s Originals

How about a spare key battery as well.

Gone are the days when I used to keep a selection of tools, wire, rope, WD40, selection of fuses etc. in a small toolbox in the boot together with a knuckle bar with a wheel nut socket attached just in case of a breakdown.

What do you keep in MG4 in case of a breakdown or emergency?
I have a battery booster pack, 10mm spanner, torch, florescent jacket, old waterproof jacket, granny and a 22kw type 2 cable.

You keep your Granny in boot???

On a slightly more serious note, I unloaded polystyrene spare wheel, replaced with space-saver wheel, scissor-jack { god bless Ebay } microfiber cloth { screens finger-prints cleaning } microfiber pad on a handle { inside windscreen defogger } etc

and recently looked at polystyrene spare wheel again, and to my delight, noticed the MG air pump . So rescued it from garage burial site. And installed it in the boot

After 2 mismatched keys ordered online I can confirm that this key
has an MG4 compatible spade. Engraving costed approx 8 eur.

Should be in a place where others can reach it in case you cannot get in/out of your car

HU100 is the blade code, and the length is (small bit) longer than the original, but that do not matter.

The engraver said that a lot of these aliexpress blades are such bad quality that engraving will ruin the blade quick, but this one is ok quality.

No i have no stocks in the company and this is not advertisement but compatible blade check

Which reminds me that any CAN bus hack is of course easier when you can get into the car so do not leave your key unattended.

I actually have a tyre puncture repair kit, a plier to pull the nail/screw out, and a jack( it should be easier to rotate the tyre to get at the offending screw! And helps to pump the tyre up if tyre is off the ground.)

PS: maybe get a latest Huawei Mate 60Pro which could make satellite calls should you be in the middle of nowhere!?
