    One pedal operation

    Oh totally agree, I notice it when I forget to set OPD before zipping out and then come to the first T Junction and have to use brakes!!! Or drive my partners auto Mazda 3 and realise I need to actually push an extra pedal every time I want to slow down ....

    MG4 Speed Recogonition

    Interesting you need to turn the chime option off every time. Here in Australia, I turned that option off once and never needed to do it again.. re speed sign recognition, I have never figured out if it was using actual camera or GPS info or a combo of both. I turn it off (yes each time i...

    Acceleration Response 'Mk1 versus Mk2'

    I would agree that the display of a number other than 0 is a glitch. Mine does it at times and I can be on a steep hill and display is 0 and at times on a flat road and have had a positive number... mine is an aussie 2023 extended range and don't think we had any version here with no rear wiper...

    One pedal operation

    All great questions and not 100% sure. Don't actively look at -ve display, too hard really while driving and it changes too fast to really gauge an accurate answer. I run highest regen and 1 pedal always. Feels the same on the few times I have been at 100% as at 80%, which is my usual charge...

    One pedal operation

    That's weird, I have no range issues with mine. Just put 47,500kms on it, had the first 40,000kms service and not one issue with it. Have had the headlights not coming on once and simple to fix with a restart. Range averages 10.5 to 12.5kw, city highway but when I have mountain bike on the back...

    Which colour shows the dirt?

    Same here, Aussie conditions and grey rarely looks dirty

    One pedal operation

    I have seen these replies many times and although the message seems odd I get it.. but.. I have a 2023 australian essence 77kw, so trophy equiv extended range and even at 100% SOC I can still enable and use OPD. I have never seen the message and have no idea where the regen energy is being sent...

    Most useful MG4 accessory?

    Wireless Android auto adapter and tray liner for phone charge tray. Never had an issue with the phone shooting off under acceleration since installing tray insert

    Most useful MG4 accessory?

    Yes agree with your comment. Some of the reviews of the MG4 made so much of the lack of lights in rear area..

    MG4 Ticking/Rattling Noise Coming From Behind The Steering Wheel

    Yeh possibly. Given it hasn't got any worse in 45,000 kms all in a very dry and hot climate doesn't give me too much concern

    MG4 Ticking/Rattling Noise Coming From Behind The Steering Wheel

    Agreed. I have had this same annoying noise since new 2023 model on a right hand drive where curb is on left side. Noise is exclusively right side and like others say sounds like it's behind steering area. A ticking sound that occurs at low speeds, reduces when turning at low speeds and is...

    Hot days = Warnings Galore

    Live West coast Oz and temps get very high during summer. Neither heat, 40c plus nor cold (recent 2 and 3c) have generated any errors in the cars 44,000 kms. Don't always remember to put on aircon on hot days before driving so car is crazy hot (thank God it's not full leather seats). Aircon...

    Mg 4 headlights failed to come on

    Had it happen once in 42000 kms. Simple solution was to basically reboot car by exiting, lock and unlock. Hardly a fatal accident about to happen.. was pretty easy to spot that my headlights were not on before I drove off....

    MG4 Rumbling and vibration

    Standard problem solving is to ask these questions. 1. did the issue exist before fitting these tyres? If not then highly likely the tyre is the cause. I would have another tyre business fit another 4 tyres, say some bridgestones or pirelli. See if it fixes the issue...

    Annoying "features" when using a tow bar

    Yep that should be fine in WA the law is a bit obscure. There are two conflicting rules. If you have a bike rack with no bike on it you must display aux plate. If a bike is on the rack then apparently not required. That said if you block 5he primary plate then you may be in breach. However in...

    Annoying "features" when using a tow bar

    Not really set up for an aux plate. I'm in wa and never needed one 😉. Another of the yakima range has a specific area for aux plate but is a ball hitch type connection not thereece hitch so you would need an adapter. It's the fold click 2. I had one but found it tricky to lock onto bike frames...

    Annoying "features" when using a tow bar

    I have a yakima rack. 2 x full susp ebikes. All up down weight exceeds 50kg down weight and no issues. I rarely take 2 x bikes and remove the 800wh battery from my bike when transporting, so mostly less than the max down weight. Gave the 77kw mg4 and have the bike rack and bike on very often...

    Rear Seat Belt Warning

    Not sure what the word "dog" has to do with the original post? The Op was saying in their country it's not illegal for someone in the rear seat to not use the seatbelt. Someone, aka a human not a dog. My response was why if you have a safety feature that saves lives would you avoid using it and...

    Transporting e-bike over 50 kg on the tow bar

    I have an MG original towbar fitted to mine by MG at time of purchase. Haggled it, the v2l cable, mg4 car mats, rear bumper protection mat and the MG wall charger. All bundled came to $2,000 AUD. Not sure that helps as not sure what the tow bar component came to separately.
