    If you think putting your car key through the washing machine is bad...

    I think it's the clear plastic piece being deformed that has caused the battery to drain too especially as the key seems to work OK otherwise. If it was the circuit board in my opinion it would either work or it wouldn't. (I'm sure @Everest will correct me 😁) You can get just the shell...

    Screen stuck or black

    The OP said it happened when connecting his Android phone so it could be the phone's battery cutting the power.

    Issue with AC charging/New CCU fitted (Phase One SE LR)

    It's not just dealers though. Most companies nowadays seem reluctant to keep the customer informed in case it's not the news they want to hear. When are they going to realise keeping the customer in the dark and false promises winds them up more than anything. I first mentioned it to the dealer...

    Issue with AC charging/New CCU fitted (Phase One SE LR)

    Update 6: I rang the dealer up this morning to get a progress report on the CCU availability. One, to remind them that I'm not going away, and two, their track record of keeping me informed isn't the best. Hopefully it's good news in that they should have the part early next week 🤞

    Probably won’t get an MG4 again

    Agreed. In the late 60's and early 70's E Type Jags were going through the auctions with a reserve of £100 each, which is the equivalent of £2000 in today's money.

    Snotted and Blotted,

    You can't beat a good stout. I had a bottle of Theakston's Old Peculier last night and because the weather was on the warm side I chilled it first in the fridge.

    MG4 Air Conditioning (potential) problem?

    Is the courtesy car's insurance being paid for by the dealer or are you using yours? If yours the dealers usually need it to be covered fully comprehensive so just check your cover. The reason I mention this is mine only covers a courtesy car for one week fully comp before reverting to third...

    What you having for your Tea/Dinner, tonight. ?

    Sleeping in MG4 [merged thread]

    I remember the old Scalextric hand controls used to get warm and give off a certain smell.

    What you having for your Tea/Dinner, tonight. ?

    My tea was sausages, battered onion rings, chips and baked beans. Sorry no picture as I was hungry and ate it 😁

    MG4 Home Charging Issues

    I don't know about Rob but my cheap rate with E.on Drive is from 00:00 to 7:00 winter and summer and it was the same before I changed from Economy 7 to an EV tariff. I think the timing used to change to save the suppliers having to change the time on the old meters when the clocks altered but...

    Charging Flap / Door not opening

    Just a thought. If the outer skin became slightly unseated from its mounting on the black cover could it prevent the whole assembly being pushed in enough to release the catch?

    Charging at Castle Donnington Services, M1

    Sometimes after plugging the charger into your car and swiping your credit card you have to take the weight off the plug by lifting it slightly for a few seconds to ensure a good connection.

    If you think putting your car key through the washing machine is bad...

    I was told by the famous R F Potts of Derby, who are a specialist of computer electrical and electronic components and equipment, that the main thing when replacing these sort of batteries is not to touch both sides with your fingers at once and if possible use plastic tweezers so as not to...

    Issue with AC charging/New CCU fitted (Phase One SE LR)

    It'd be interesting to find out why they fail. Is it poor components, bad design or a software issue. I seem to remember mine failed soon after I heated the cabin via the app while it was still attached to my charger for the first time.

    MG4 Home Charging Issues

    It's difficult to know if it's the charger or the car that's causing the problem. Can you try on someone else's charger?
