    MG4 compact/mini SUV

    Can't really imagine nefarious tactics being deployed by China though :unsure:

    MG4 Reduction Gearbox Oil Leak

    The box seems to hold 700ml if fitted with the revised breather, It appears to work ok with this amount. I know my own one dropped to 600ml for a while before I moved the breather to a side position. Who knows if later transmissions have been modified to successfully hold the apparently...

    MG4 X-Power waiting area

    How dare you , people make a good living coming up with terms like 'vegan leather' and you have the temerity to call BS on it ? Shame on you. Trophy spec should mean having the ability to turn off auto lock though :love: :love:

    MG4 X-Power waiting area

    There will be a steady loading in the components of the drivetrains so I doubt it would do much harm, not like the shock load when dumping the clutch on an ICE for example ... as my 19yr old self found out with a mk1 Fiesta ? The motors will be heating up rapidly though which would explain the...

    Looks like all versions are cell to pack then .

    MG4 Restricted speed - weird

    Anyone know if the LFP battery is a cell to pack configuration ? If there's 100 something large cells in series just one break in the 'chain' definitely would have a major effect.

    Well, it still has the aircon chirp according to one member so that's more than possible ?

    MG4 X-Power waiting area

    Indeed. Got sucked into the 'EV's are worth more second hand than new' phenomenon just as it all collapsed and the market returned to normal, don't think I'd be tempted by a new car again. Nice to be the first bum on the seat but the novelty soon wears off. Eight months on mine has 8k on the...

    MG4 X-Power waiting area

    Oh c'mon bowfer, you're secretly wondering just what this thing would feel like with 200 horse more than your Born for the same money. Give MG another chance, second time lucky surely :love: The calipers are cringe worthy though, they would be coming off immediately. Seats look nice, wheels are...

    MG4 X-Power waiting area

    Yep, I'm actually shocked at the price, can see me looking for a sensibly used one in a couple of years time if I can afford the insurance. You're right though, the ER version might be the more useful in reality once the novelty of a mid 3 sec 0-60 has worn off. The only time I wish for more...

    MG4 X-Power waiting area

    I think that the handling and grip of my SE standard is perfectly adequate for use on a public road. I do value the lives of other road users as well as my own though so always keep any 'fun' within sensible limits. Unless you live beside the Nurburgring or wherever I think the average driver...

    MG4 Power Limiting

    Ok , I presume that means the inverter in manufacturer bull waffle speak :unsure: 5k sure is a lot for a box of electronics about the size of a laptop :oops:

    Do let us know how you get on. Which £5000 part have they said they've replaced ?

    MG4 X-Power waiting area

    Yup, they're seriously naff, would actually put me off buying a car fitted with them. BUT, I have noticed that even the average entitled Audi driver uses their scrolling blinkers at every opportunity !! So funny because you know they've probably not had a sudden overnight improvement in their...

    First long distance journey coming up - a few questions if anyone can help?

    Yep, the sessions are recorded correctly but the status is unpaid. Oh well, they can take it when they're ready. Anyone know who's going to run the bank of covered chargers being installed at Broxden ? Wasn't overly impressed with the single working 50kW charger that only gave out 28kW while I...

    First long distance journey coming up - a few questions if anyone can help?

    Despite their name, they've yet to charge me for anything for a trip I made to see my wee brother in Kelso a month ago :unsure: Outward and return 45 min squirts at Broxden park & ride and another at Newtown St Boswells but no charge to date. Have had the current card since our leaf days many...

    MG4 X-Power waiting area

    I think the main concern I would have with this model is battery longevity, pulling 5c at full beans can't be good for it long term. Ironically the drivetrain components will actually have an easier life than the standard Trophy in theory. The car is a bit heavier but the load is now shared...

    MG4 X-Power waiting area

    Stunning acceleration for the price but I had a feeling the all wheel drive would smother it slightly. 300 BHP through the rear wheels alone would mean less weight, purer steering and probably much more fun. Sometimes less is more with cars.

    MG4 Range

    That's very true, being a sparky I love all that stuff, but I can understand why it often just puts people off. Life is complicated enough.:(
