    Holes in the Underbody Cover

    Couldn't help notice the holes in the underbody cover in the video. I had read that this is for speaker to make a sound to warn pedestrians? I have checked everywhere on mine which is an Australian model extended range and there are no holes and no sound emitted. Can anyone enlighten me?

    Keyless start? Anyone got it working?

    Might sound obvious but the keyless option won't work if the car is unlocked.. try this sequence. 1. Unlock the car using the app 2. Get in the car and lock using the app 3. Select the digital key under the profile option after first ensuring the app is indicating a Bluetooth connection has...

    Mg 4 headlights failed to come on

    Have had this happen once in 21,000 kms. As others have said, car parked in daylight hrs. Walked back.to car at night, all seemed normal incl auto lights turning lights on at least on the dash. Short distance and noticed dark on the road. Pulled over and sure enough headlights off but dash...

    Charger Rip Off

    Max AC charge rate is as others have said dictated by the model of mg4 and chargers capability. My aust 77kWh has the 3 phase AC capability. Check the AC connector in your car to see what pins it has. On the non 3 phase models the lower pins are blanks. As you can see from the pic on mine the...

    A Space Saver Tyre is a must!

    I understand your point and I too live in Oz. However my previous car before my MG4 was a Mazda mx5. That car also had no space saver and far less boot space than the MG4 so wasn't a possibility. It had the goo and pump and i carried some tyre plugs. In 6 years I never had a flat in the mx5 and...

    Keyless start? Anyone got it working?

    OK. so when you go into the app under your profile then select digital key. Has a digital key been generated and protected by your user PIN number? i.e are you even able to get that far in the app. If this has been done then the keyless start option wont even be selectable in the app. What...

    Keyless start? Anyone got it working?

    May or may not be the cause but I found to get the app to work for keyless start, you need to be near vehicle with Bluetooth and if using Android based phone, location services must be enabled for it to work. That for me at least was the solution as it refused to work otherwise. Also worth a try...

    MG4 Lights cracked in heat

    Very odd. I live in a very hot climate. West coast Australia. Last summer period had many, many days over 40 and weeks in the mid 30's and not had any issues. Now 20,000kms on it.

    Rear Seat Belt Warning

    Sorry but am I missing something here?? Your car comes with rear seatbelts. The warning system in the car alerts when someone is in a rear seat and hasn't clipped in the seatbelt. The rear seatbelts are there for the safety of rear seated passengers. And you want to know how to avoid using the...

    How low is too low?

    Perfect answer without all of the paranoia on charging to 100%. ?. Probably the only thing I would add is where possible and for the long term health of the battery, charge at the slowest speed that works in your situation, again without being paranoid. Constant usage of fast DC charging over...

    Towbar in Australia?

    I had mine fitted by the dealer and it's the genuine MG supplied item. Couldn't be happier with it. Don't stress about the cut out it's not anything structural or part of the bumper. You won't even notice it. I use mine to take bikes. Main reason to go with MG one is there can be no debate ever...

    MG4 LR 2024 issues.

    wow sounds like a very unlucky run for you two. Albeit not in the UK, I have the MG4 LR and couldn't be happier. It has what I would call minor software issues and from what I hear and see from pretty much every other owner of non MG4's electric or non electric, the software issues in terms of...

    MG4 LR 2024 issues.

    Not wanting to state the obvious but. 1. ensure you are using the left usb plug not the one on the right or rear of the car 2. The compatibility is not all down to the car but the versions of the MG's AA and also the phones AA version. I would try to eliminate some variables by using different...

    Mg4 Windscreen Reflection Issue

    I havnt had any issues but also have had a dash mat fitted very early on. I would also add that here in west Oz our sun is very bright for many hrs of the day. We have had pretty much zero mm of rain since Oct last year. Also tinting the front two side windows makes a massive diff to heat and glare.

    MG4 LR 2024 issues.

    Totally agree. I have now put 15,000kms on my LR since sept. All updates applied and dealer here in my Aust city very proactive. No issues and love the car incl it's range (warmer climate here may of course be a massive benefit on range as is our relatively flat landscap). Not used a public...

    Scratches on paint

    I have used a sign wrap but yeh, matt, gloss or even a different colour. If you go into a local shop, they will often sell cheap prices off a roll and you don't need much for the small areas on the car. I recently wrapped a whole mtb frame this way in clear for $20. And I have zero training in...
