    Fatigue alarm

    The car has decided you are fatigued based on MG-knows-what. I think there is a setting under MG pilot about driver attention or something but not sure if the setting remains or if it defaults back to on every time you drive.

    Will this stand up in court ?

    My hiking shoes are a bit wider than the boots I normally wear, I've once accidentally taken the brake pedal down with me as I intended to accelerate. I also have really thick and stiff boots with chainsaw protection, but I don't drive in those. But that is really the only case when I would wear...

    Wish list of MG4 improvements

    I’ve had something similar, read about someone unbinding the car in the CarPlay settings and then doing a fresh setup / connection, and that worked for me. Although after going to iOS 26 I noticed CarPlay dropped out on me again yesterday, so maybe I have to go through the process once again.

    MG4 - Airplane mode / no data connection

    Have you been flying with your MG4 lately, and maybe left it on airplane mode accidentally? Jokes aside, I don't recall ever seeing the airplane symbol, but I wouldn't expect that to be the symbol MG uses to indicate a loss of signal..

    Another new (and mostly happy) MG4 owner + tyre question

    Especially on short journeys, the energy "wasted" on heating the battery is worse than the little bit of energy you "lose" to temperature inefficiencies.

    Newbie... a few questions remain

    The default settings are applied whenever the car goes into Ready mode. So as soon as your butt lifts of the seat the car will drop out of ready mode, and when you get back and press on the brake pedal, the car goes back into ready mode and all settings that default to something will do so. This...

    Random bong noise

    Are you using the in-car navigation? That produces some random bongs I think

    Met a new MG4 owner today at the Charging Station.

    They both do the trick don’t they? 😅

    Another new (and mostly happy) MG4 owner + tyre question

    I think the continental is the factory fitted tyre. What pressure are you running in the tyres? I’ve got mine set to 2.8 bar cold (they go up to 3.0 on a proper drive). I think the threshold for the alarm is 2.4 bar if I’m not mistaken.

    Another new (and mostly happy) MG4 owner + tyre question

    You may need a type 2 cable for some public chargers, I would buy my own, the dealer would just give you what is cheapest for them to get. You could mention the tyres to them, but again they’ll just put the cheapest tyres on they can find, so might be worth fixing yourself. Are the front and...

    Another new (and mostly happy) MG4 owner + tyre question

    The tpms in the MG4 uses actual pressure sensors, so rotational speed won’t be an issue. It is most likely that the tyre pressures are close to the trigger value, and with temperature difference it flags on and off. Try pumping up the tyres some more and see if that fixes it.

    At the end of my Tether with Tethering! (MG4/Samsung A12/Android auto)

    I don’t know how android deals with this stuff, but Apple only supports phones for about 5 years, so could there be a mismatch in software on the older phones and the MG4 AA software?

    Met a new MG4 owner today at the Charging Station.

    I find most ev drivers at charge points are generally quite nice and helpful people. The only exception I’ve seen was a bunch of (suspected) ride share drivers acting like they owned the rapid chargers near the CBD on a Friday night. Using the ACROD bay and staring people down when they think...

    Newbie... a few questions remain

    I regularly do a 110km round trip, at 100-110 kph, with a elevation difference of around 200m, and my Trophy spec car (64 kWh battery) uses 40% for that journey. It shows a max range of 350km but that goes up to about 400km when pottering around town at 60-70 kph.

    What car did your MG4 replace?

    I’ve always had Peugeots, the last one before the MG4 was a 308 (T9 generation). I liked it but one day we got in to go to the dentist and it flashed a warning for low oil. I said to the missus “there’s the first gremlin, there will be a thousand on the way now”. I had been wanting to go...

    if you ever wonder what is the REAL range of 100%-0% in the SR ... you'll be surprised by this experiment.

    Mine does the same, I suspect the cars intake of electrons slows down to a point where the EVSE thinks "you're done", and terminates the charge.

    Love it or hate it

    I like the way the logo looks, and neatly done with the little black bit in between the spoilers. How did you colour the rear badge? Is it stuck on top of the light bar?

    Prolonged parking effect

    Front trunk, the storage area under the bonnet (which is an aftermarket modification in case of the MG4).

    MG4 Trophy Upholstery Cleaning

    The Trophy has part leather and part fabric seats, assuming the specs are similar between UK and Aussie markets. Other than the generic methods found online I wouldn’t have any tips for cleaning them though. If the stains are really stubborn and bother you enough, perhaps get it detailed by a...

    Test your MG4 battery to understand low range

    If the method of calculating energy used is accurate, then surely it would also accurately calculate / predict the energy put back into the battery when charging from 0% to 100%?
