Thanks guys, looks like I needn't worry. It's just that I've been on ferries (or even neighbour's cars when it's very windy) listening to an annoying and persistent alarm and I don't want to be that person with a flat battery and keeping everyone awake.

I was leafing through my paper MG4 manual (thanks Sloucher!) but couldn't find how to switch off the alarm system to avoid it going off on a bumpy crossing. Portsmouth to Wooton Creek was fine, but given I've crossed the channel bouncing out of my bunk on a ferry (let alone in a number of...

First new car I'd ever bought in my life was a ZS in autumn 2020; first car over 4000 quid as well! I fancied an EV but SH prices seemed expensive, and then the local dealer had a good deal so I cycled over, had a test drive there and then, and paid cash for a new one a few days later. Very...

How do they know that you are or are not a customer? Do you have to let reception know, or what? Either way I suspect there is no minimum spend and nipping in and buying nibbles for the journey, some charcuterie and a few rolls is probably going to be enough? As an observation from someone who...

Perspective is all. My first car was a very battered £100 Marina and since then I've had various run of the mill hatchbacks which I kept until ~12 years old. My first car with cruise control was my ZS EV and now the MG4 which is a far better car, although obviously SUVs are more popular, which...

And.. If I hadn't gone into MG for my two year service for my MG ZS EV I wouldn't have come out a week later with a new MG4, having received more for the ZS than I paid! Just put 9% into the battery from free solar and when I went to unplug checked that I have the LKA switched to off and it...

Whether it's because I have an standard range MG4 off the first boat (sheer chance, I might add) or haven't had the safety software update (note to self) I've never noticed any lane keeping assistance at all. Collision warnings and the odd unneeded braking, but no steering twitches and that's on...

I didn't manage to catch up with my friend in the Yorkshire Dales last year but in reviewing the route again this year from near Portsmouth it's good to see new hubs have opened up and the options increasing, often just off the motorway. So those coming South can give Scotch Corner a miss and...

I'm unexpectedly on my second EV as I jumped for an early ZS when the local dealer was doing a good deal. Then after my two year service I unexpectedly found myself the owner of an MG4 SR when they made me an offer I couldn't refuse.. A combination of retirement, saving up and wanting an EV for...

I've used mine once for a get me home splash of all of 1.74kWh, which doubled as a test of my card. The discount for Go is 5% and for Intelligent it's 8% so useful when I start doing longer trips and they have good coverage over the water and a decent mapping app.

I'm a low mileage (retired) driver using Intelligent Octopus and on my last bill the average kWh price was less than 17.5p due to using 2/3rd in the cheap period. Delayed starts and use of timeswitches and as a late owl the odd manual start have made this pretty easy to achieve. No particular...

Well, my name on my football team chat is 'Granny Sue' seeing as I'm 50 years older than the youngest member of the team, and I find it very dificult to be offended, although some people do like to be.. :) What was great today was the ref, who was 82! Deaf as a post. :ROFLMAO: As for...

Well, I was still in my kit when I got home (grass roots changing rooms sometimes don't exist..) so I got down and had a brief look when I got home but a cursory inspection looked OK. Tomorrow in decent light and with a torch may be different..

Well... I have (had?) the problem and took it in last week, explained the situation with the help of a few printed off posts from here and I waited whilst they changed the oil. Presumably at a lower level. There was a very slight misalignment of the undertray but more noticeably a proud screw...

I'm at the dealer right now. I bought in some posts from here including #725 which summarised the issue and #740 with Mr Smart's Email.. The guy here agreed it wasn't well written.. The issue has been referred to the service department and I've just been told I can drive it and they are doing...

"a bit more"?!! How about "any" pro-active communication? :-)

Having read through the last few pages of the thread I can see that MG and their dealers are masters of communication, to the extent that I'm still not sure how to progress the issue. In that I appear to be in good company as neither do Richmond Portsmouth. Phone call on Tuesday from the dealer...

Thanks guys. I tried again and this time have organised a pick up.. I was being unfair on Richmond in my previous post and was muttering to myself about them! ;-)

Ho hum... Had a call from my dealer a short while ago to call MG assist. So I do and get told, after a consultation with superiors, that they only do roadside emergency assistance... So back to Richmond Portsmouth after this post and after their attempt at a fob off.. I will keep you informed...

It's impossible for me to say in terms of your standards, but certainly the quietest car I've ever driven. :-) You should see some of the cars I've owned! ... What sort of cars have you driven? I used to drive UK/Italy a lot and after a long time in my previous cars it would be a relief to...
