    Fog Lights

    How often are fog lights legally needed. I think I have only needed to switch it on twice in nearly two years of ownership so I don't mind having a small switch that's out of the way and doesn't take up much room.

    Another? Trophy LR charging problem

    I preheated the cabin for the first time last month while the car was still attached to my home charger. I had charged overnight and it stopped at 80% as set and put in about 12.5kWh. The preheating used about 3% so when I got into the car it was reading 77% charge. Next time I came to charge...

    EU MG4 (all variants) - Service campaign SC077 is out, improving lane assist performance

    SC stands for service campaign which should be automatically applied to the car when it goes in for a service but there is no harm in asking.

    Charging door sensor malfunction

    Try spraying silicone spray in the locking mechanism as well as the hinge and seals. De-icer is a solvent and will have removed any lubrication causing the sensor to stick. The silicone will repel any water so the de-icer won't be needed as well as re-lubricating the mechanism.

To remove its easy to reverse the process as the discs are easy to access from the back by lifting a covering flap at the back of the seat. I use one as I have the seat fully back but when but...

    2nd service

    I guess you are looking at the cheaper end on the used MG4s. The lack of servicing is why they are cheap. Might be worth looking at the main dealers Stoneacre have some pre-registered ones recently reduced. e.g. MD4 SE LR in red, 10 miles £19,995...

    MG4 seating height?

    Everyone is different so you'd be better off going and sitting in one or better still going for a test drive.

    MG4 Mudflaps

    They will come down in price. My MG4 ones were £20.29 in November 2022 It looks like they are left with overstock of the MG4 flaps and trying to get rid of them. At that price I'm considering getting another set just in case.

    OPD, car rolls backwards when stopping on downhill slopes (merged thread)

    Mine doesn't slam on the brakes but I think I've changed the setting to alert only. I'll have a look in a bit.

    MG4 Mudflaps

    They might be of dubious quality but at least they break insstead of pulling the fixings out of the bodywork, which would be a right pain to repair.

    MG4 luxury HUMS loud when cold at 35mph+

    Could it be that the Active Grill System is shut when the car is cold and it's the air vibrating the shutters. When the weather/car's warmed up the shutters are open allowing the air to flow freely. Might be worth checking there isn't anything stopping one or more of the shutters closing fully.
