    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?

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

    I guess that has been MG's frame of mind all along, never admit anything is wrong and never admit it has happened before. At least they didn't brand it as a characteristic. Those who have had the CCU replaced did they replace it with the same unit as originally fitted i.e. 11 kW 3 phase unit...

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

    Update 5: After another ten days at the dealers undergoing further tests MG have finally admitted it's the CCU that's at fault by refusing to accept AC charging. I do wonder whether previously the dealer had actually try the CCU from another car and if they did, did they check that one was...

    Car wont lock or unlock with door handle buttons

    Agree. Could be a corroded contact on the fuse.

    Travel (Trunk) bag set - useful or not?

    Don't Buy

    I've been looking at replacing my MG4 with a used EV from a better regarded manufacturer due to my AC charging problem and my conclusion is that all EV's have faults of some sort or another. Early Hyundai Ioniq 5s have faulty ICCUs, Porsche owners have reported having their cars stuck in the...
