I've been running Michelin cross climate 2 on our MG4 for over a year now. They have gripped well on Scottish rural snow, rain, flood. Also in North Spain this summer when it was surprisingly rainy! I’d happily buy these again. They are coming off next week as it’s a lease car through work and I...

Yes you can get salsac in second hand cars, but it’s a small pool of cars as tend to be just the returned cars from that salsac company.

My car salary sacrifice car lease is up as I am changing companies. My new company also does car salsac, but I likely won’t be getting an MG4 again. It’s been a nice car, but for me hasn’t quite delivered. It’s was not just the 2 months that the garage had it while they fixed the pretty...

I didn’t want to pay for the MG V2L so I got one from Tough Leads as previously ordered a Tough Lead extension for our emergency generator and has been robust. Wanted a cable I could trust, was still pricy at £179 See picture.

We lost power here in Scotland for 2 days due to storm Eowyn. End of day one our petrol generator packed up, so plugged in the MG4 instead. We used it to power a large fridge and large freezer, our internet, 4 lamps and charging phones and tablets and batteries for torches. It worked...

I’m in Scotland between -4°C to 4°C is pretty standard November through February. I seem to lose 20% range in winter, so with charging to 80% that’s a 64% range. I think it’s worth having a max 2/3rds winter figure in your head when thinking about current electric car ranges, and what electric...

I use adaptive cruise control with A regen as my default on the motorway. As mentioned above it makes the corrections smoother. Driven from Scotland to central Spain and I liked it. Better than my old petrol car. It’s not ‘select and forget’ though. Have to play around with what cruise control...

I was regularly plagued with frozen flap and snow and ice issues while charging so I got a magnetic cover which goes over the flap door and works great. However I still have problems getting the charger flap to close when it’s below zero as the ‘close mechanics’ freeze up. Silicon spray prep...

I've always thought this site was a useful one to help choose tyres. https://www.tyrereviews.com/ I’m in rural Scotland and used the winter tyre review to choose what winter tyres for our All4 Mini Countryman. Means we could still go out and about in the snow, and could U turn and go home when...

Just an update on this, in case anyone is interested… Had no problems since the fix. We have driven from Scotland to holiday for two weeks in North Spain (via the Santander ferry), fully loaded with 2 kids. Had no problems with the car and charging had been easy. In fact was a great experience...

Well the journey was great no evidence of any alarm going off. So I guess as suggested all fine. Thanks ?

Thanks everyone. We are on the ferry now awaiting to depart so fingers crossed it’s not force 8 like last time ?

Does anyone know how to turn the theft alarm off? I’m about to go on the ferry from Portsmouth to Santander, it’s 36 hours across the Bay of Biscay and previously we’ve always turned the car alarm off to stop it going off as the boat moves. I’ve checked the book around recovery towing but it...

So I got the car back last Friday! We picked it up and immediately set off for the Highlands over May bank holiday weekend. It charged fine over the 4 days and has been fine since. It’s so nice to drive again ?. One clear difference is that beforehand there was always a bit of a dance around...

I’m still waiting on my car being fixed. They have said the CPU unit they previously replaced is still ok and therefore their technical have advised them to replace the charging port, which requires lowered the battery, apparently a big job. I’m waiting to hear this week if that’s been...

So it’s a MG4 SE long Range, but it doesn’t have a rear wiper and the garage mentioned that when one for the charging units go all 3 go. So I guess that means it’s an earlier MG?

That’s fine. AA man pretty much checked everything he could. Also the car is less than 6 months old.

AA came out and looked and did all the normal checks. They’ve said it needs to go back to the dealer. Contacted the dealer (who only gave it back to me a week ago after having it 2 months and supposedly fixing it). Their next slot is 5th June, the next nearest dealer's next slot is 25th of June...

I know this post is a little old, but I have had a similar problem and I have been trying to work out how common it is. See my issue with my MG4 in the following thread: https://www.mgevs.com/threads/mg4-not-charging.15511/page-2#post-285382

I got my car back from the dealers last Saturday 13th April they said they’d replaced the charging units. It lovely to get it back and drive it. It charged when we got home for 3 days and then stopped again. Wouldn’t charge on our Type 2 home charger or our granny charger. We went out to public...
