    MGS5 64kWh LFP arrival.

    Given that the MG4 base model has just gone to a 64kWh (LFP)🔋, any thoughts to to whether the MGS5 will follow?

    New 2026 MG4 EV and MG4 EV Urban

    Well done @EV Focus RO 👍 ... nice to see the 64kWh LFP battery as baseline model, shame that the efficiency is still: combined 3.5 miles per kWh (17.6kWh/100km) (i.e. no heat pump 🤷‍♂️)

    MG4 Undertray dip/bulge

    The bracket is 11769392 BRACKET-UND DFL which is 23.00+VAT (next day from your local dealer) - you can buy the extra long bolts, but you have to buy a packet of 10 (£25 or so!!) - so just got some from toolstation on the way home - I think you need M6 x 30 (item 83910) - I got stainless ones and...

    Larger size 60AH 12v battery for MG4?

    No I dont think this will fit - you need an 012 type - best bet is to have a look in day light and measure the old one / battery tray for appropriate options before ordering. BTW I always use Tayna, as they are a great company to deal with especially in the event of a warranty claim.

    Car completely dead - eventually, AA called out

    Although never needed for myself todate, following advice on here I have one of these https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0BBV7KC7Z, in recent months I've sorted 2 ICE cars whoom asked for help in my work carpark 🤷‍♂️

    Screeching when reversing - not using brakes

    ... I've had this twice since in 40 years, once was a sticking caliper, and the other time was a pebble stuck in the caliper.

    New Video from Electric Vehicle Man

    .... I've just come accross here from the MG4 forum after watching his video - can't believe the prices he was wafting around (presumably from a broker)

    Year 2 Service Cost?

    I've had 3 services todate, and have ranged from ~£114 to ~£250 (incl MOT), 4th & 5th years are slightly more expensive (gearbox oil & coolant), but.... comparing this to 15-20 years ago with a bog standard VW Tiguan - this is still good value from MG 👍

    Noisy brakes

    Although no issues with the MG4, I always apply a light smear of copper grease - to be honest never had an issue in 40 years doing this.

    How Low Can You Go .... (SoC)

    I've been down to zero once whilst driving close to home in a 51kWh SE, one thing to bear in mind, that as soon as you take it out of drive (at 0%), its won't go back into drive, whether or not it goes into reverse (thinking of getting into a charging bay) = not sure. ... but I have to note...

    battery consumption

    ... I've seen anything between 2.0 miles / kWh to 20 miles / kWh in 45,000 miles

    Stuck on 30mph (speed sign recognition)

    ... it just interprets what it sees via the windscreen camera on a temporal & spatial basis in real time... it only gives you a guide which you can easily miss, for instance in recent days my local town installed 20mph signs (I did think, am I in Wales 😂😂), but the MG4 was a useful tool to tell...

    Octopus Go Intelligent new 6 hours charging limit

    ... to be fair to octopus I just plug in as an when, and it works seamlessly, never had a peak rate (boost?) charge, and still only paying around £700 for just under 10Mwh / year 🤷‍♂️

    Steering wheel vibrations

    Come to think of it, in the early days (1st year) I did get some form of vibration around 65mph (on a SE model), but have either got used to it, or just dont notice it these days, but for the last 30000 miles it hasn't been an issue.

    Steering wheel vibrations

    ... although the MG4 XPower did have vibration issues, not heard of issues with the normal MG4 (in our case 70000km todate), vibration on a small scale is usually wheel weights, but @case dismissed did have a major issue with dodgy wobbling drive shafts.

    Traction control problems after software update.

    ... 1st thought is switch traction control off 🤷‍♂️

    Dilemma MG4 needs swapping

    A PCP is a longterm car hire, in that they come with a Guaranteed Minimum Future Value at the end of the lease, its only a problem if you try to end the lease early. Remember than new MG4's are £10k cheaper than they were 3 years ago, also there are currently some cracking new EV's with...

    towbar on MG4?

    .... no worries, just ordered one and likewise are fitting it myself - still got the electrics to do - but the main frame is millimeter perfect (so no redrilling of the holes), and also managed to refit the rear crash bar / towing eye - all I needed was a small cut out, which is only visible if...

    MG4, Zappi and Octopus Intelligent Go

    Same here, nevertheless Octopus causes terrible problems when it starts outside of the 11:30-5:30am period.

    MG4, Zappi and Octopus Intelligent Go

    "Shortly, we’ll introduce an option to either limit your smart charging to 6 off-peak hours or to prioritise reaching the charger target of your vehicle", 6 hours a day is more than enough for everyone 👍 - personally like most if they could just limit the smart charging to 11:30pm to 5:30am...
