    Random headlight failure

    I believe it’s the little nub in the centre of the dash, just near the windscreen. Edit; there are some pictures of its location in this thread; https://www.mgevs.com/threads/replacement-light-sensor-cover-in-situ.12159/

    Random headlight failure

    Have you checked the settings for automatic high beam use? Perhaps the car is deeming the streets dark enough for high beams, maybe some dust covering the sensor?

    Issues with Range/Power usage

    (Un)surprisingly hard to find anything straight from the government, they just highlight all the nice things they do this year. It got announced in 2022 and basically they will introduce an RUC (road user charge) of 2,5 cents per kilometer starting July 1st 2027 (or when EV sales make up 30% of...

    Issues with Range/Power usage

    We’re about to get taxed here in Western Australia as well, which annoys me a little bit. If they tax all cars on mileage, and then tax fossil fuel as well, that’s fair enough, but specific EV taxes are lame. I don’t mind paying taxes, but I do mind being the only group that has to pay them...

    Rear tyre pressure warning

    If your pressure change between cold and warm is more than 5 psi (roughly 34 kPa) your tyres are underinflated and flex too much (thus heating up too much and increasing pressure). I run my tyres at 3.0 bar (300 kPa) when warm, I think they currently sit at about 2.8 bar cold. When I picked it...

    Heating not working

    If you want @jamakr4, you can leave feedback on both dealers here, it may help others in the future. https://www.mgevs.com/forums/europe-mg-dealer-discussions.19/

    Love it or hate it

    Essence (trophy) spec has the black roof in Australia, it does look like it is stuck on indeed. If you’re really looking at the edge anyway.

    MG4 cruise control not working

    If there are any painted bits that need replacing then I imagine the colour matching alone would make it worth letting a pro do it. I’d take the insurance hit and get it done proper. Shame you didn’t get the rego on that deer, their Australia cousins are also always uninsured and do a runner…...

    Love it or hate it

    Any reduction would surely be offset by the increase in premium because it also goes faster now? 🤔

    Love it or hate it

    You can’t get inside the clear plastic trim on the trophy models. So your only option is to stick it on top. The sets come with a back badge because you can cover the actual badge on the SE models.

    Total loss of external lights whilst driving in the dark! - 12 volt battery failure indicator

    Why wouldn’t it still be user error when it happens to you?

    Issues with Range/Power usage

    I’m with @salty and @LenEV2016 on this. I just drive the car like I’ve always driven. That said I do like reading how others get the most out of their cars, I’ve used your tricks twice now to make it to my destination when I turned out to be too optimistic about range. I also think WLTP is not...

    Navigation showing on infotainment display (excite model)

    Is it possible to try another dealership? Perhaps there you might find someone more knowledgeable and/or willing to fix this. You’ll probably have to pay for that though, I doubt they’ll fix someone else’s mistakes for free. Although maybe they can claim it through MG, seeing as it is “faulty”...

    Bluetooth not working and my dealer doesn't care.

    Apple CarPlay needs a data cable, not just any cable will do. I can’t determine whether you have (another) new iPhone or if your are new to iPhone, so I’ll also mention that for the car to be able to see your iPhone you need to be in the Bluetooth menu, otherwise an iPhone will hide itself from...

    Noisy brakes

    If you have a road that allows you to do this safely, switching the car to neutral whilst driving and then braking also uses friction brakes, as there is no regen in neutral. Same goes for reverse gear.

    Regen Braking & Rear Brake Lights

    Can’t belief you didn’t take the chance to show off your nifty light setup @MG Clive ;) https://www.mgevs.com/threads/warning-light-added-to-show-when-the-brake-lights-are-on.23164/

    Charging Port Refused to release the charging cable again - is this a fault?

    Sometimes the weight of the CCS charging plug also messes with the locking mechanism (for locking anyway). Holding it up may make it easier for the locking pin to retract.

    HV Battery Shut Off - MG4 suddenly died

    Also might want to check out this thread (not sure if it is exactly the same as what happened to you) https://www.mgevs.com/threads/total-loss-of-power-on-a-busy-dual-carriage-way-im-really-scared-it-will-happen-again.22377/

    HV Battery Shut Off - MG4 suddenly died

    I don’t think the dealer can check diagnostics remotely. I would get them to look into it if only to ease your mind a bit. I had a conrod escape through the side of the block in the RCZ once, even though the replacement engine was newer it made me hesitant to drive for a good while after...

    New Facelift?

    That does look nice, might be a bit more comfortable for those who have their knees planted against the shelf in the current model.
