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...

I put the car on to charge last night exactly as I've done many times before but when I looked this morning it had failed to charge. I checked the iSmart app to check the charging percentage in case the amount of charge had altered to below it's current charge level and the Zappi app. The Zappi...

After a recent software update my LR Trophy charges to 100% despite setting the target battery level to 80% and the indicated range is showing 202 miles. And yes I have reset all the trip readings. I think the dealer has installed the software for the SR and not the LR battery. I feel I'm going...

I'm getting a new phone and I'm wondering if I can use my old phone, without a SIM card but connected to the car's Wi-Fi hotspot, to run Google maps etc. in Android Auto on the infotainment screen?

Looking for suggestions of artists and bands that would suit the owner's of MG4s. For example X Power owners would have Blur and Rush or if they have the Matt Green paint it would be Green Day Owners of Holborn Blue would be listening to Blue Oyster Cult.

This has been posted on Facebook. It seems Autoglass can now calibrate the cameras etc. after a screen replacement.

Had a Doh! moment this morning. I went to open the tailgate to put the dogs into the car to take them for a walk but it wouldn't open. Tried the driver's door and it still wouldn't open. As I went for the key in my pocket I thought "Oh ?, the 12v battery must have gone flat" My next thought...

The driver's window had developed a squeal when opening and closing which had been annoying me for a couple of days. Finally got round to fixing it this morning with a quick squirt of silicon spray in the runners. I gave the other window runners a quick squirt while I was at it together with...

Last night when I checked the 12v battery voltage on the iSmart app it was showing 12.2v. This morning at 7:00am it had gone down to 12.1v. I haven't driven the car or unlocked it since yesterday afternoon and the last time it was on charge was 6 days ago. I've just checked it again (10:00am) on...

Gone are the days when I used to keep a selection of tools, wire, rope, WD40, selection of fuses etc. in a small toolbox in the boot together with a knuckle bar with a wheel nut socket attached just in case of a breakdown. What do you keep in MG4 in case of a breakdown or emergency? I have a...

Why do ex MG4 owners repeatedly feel the need to make sure that no-one forgets their bad experience repeatedly on every thread. I know you had problems with the car, your dealer and MG, and understand the upset and frustration you went through, but your attitude is now wearing a little thin...

I'm booked in next week to have the infotainment software updated from R24 to R33 on my Trophy because every now and again on start-up the infotainment screen goes black as it tries and decides if it's daylight or not. It does reboot by holding down the home button for a few seconds. I was just...

Might I suggest if you have your dog(s) in the back of your MG4 not to use Sport Mode. I decided to engage it when coming back from taking my two greyhounds for their morning walk as I entered a 50mph limit from a 30. I floored the accelerator and the car shot forward. Unfortunately the dogs...

If you open the iSmart app, then My Profile and then Manual there is the Service-Portfolio. Unfortunatly it's to small to read on my phone and if I zoom in it makes it difficult to read across the lines. Has anyone managed to download it off the phone so it can be read in a more convenient...

I don't know if anyone else has found that if they switch the lights from auto to off before the infotainment screen has finished booting it gets confused and gives up. It seems to start in light mode then realises the lights are on so better switch to dark mode then while it's still booting you...

For those of you like me who only have Freeview the MG4 is being driven by Vicki Butler Henderson on Fifth Gear Recharged tonight at 21:00 (Quest channel 12 on Freeview)

If you download Octopus Energy's Electroverse app you can use it to plan your route with charging points that's based on your cars range, its starting charge, destination charge etc and then send it including the charging stations to the Google Maps app where it can be edited further if...

Burl Solomns has posted quite a few short videos on the various settings available on the MG4 which might be useful. Click here If Admin thinks this would be better posted elsewhere please move it.

I was looking to add an extra layer of security to stop some "person" enjoying my MG4 without me and found that the Stoplock Pro Elite won the Auto Trader best steering wheel lock 2021/20. If anyone else is looking to do the same I emailed the main supplier as the MG4 is still to new to appear...
