The car just did it automatically.

I have just had approval for my new solar & battery installation. The installation company rang to say that essential Energy had charged $331.00 for the approval which will be added to my bill & they sent me the invoice. I never had any charge for the 2 previous solar installations. Basically...

Yes I had the service people rotate the tyres & for some reason they inflated all the tyres to around 280 kPa. I reduced the pressure on the front left to 250 kPa & drove in to town, a round trip of 10km. When I got back the pressure on the front left was now showing 250 kPa so the self learning...

Essential needs to look at increasing the export limit on TOU basis so during peak times increase it to 10kW or no limit at all. Then again that would need a smarter limiting device. If it isn't in their future plans, it should be.

I recently moved to a new property that has a 1kW 20 year old BP system so I am replacing it with a new system with 20 x 440 watt bi-facial panels (8.8kW), with a 10 kW hybrid inverter and a 18.64 kWh battery. Our average daily usage is 9-10 kWh so in theory II will never use grid power. The...

I am not sure when phase 2 cars build date began but the first imports to Australia were phase 2 & My Essence 64 (Trophy) was built in June 2023. The early phase 2 Excite 51 imported in to Australia did not have OPD but this was provided as a free software upgrade at the time.

Pity that it won't happen before mine goes in for all the original updates in late November.

My last car was a 2012 Mitsubishi Lancer Platinum. Very reliable but by 2023 a few cracks began to open. Bluetooth gave up & a couple of other electronics were on the way out & an idler bearing became noisy but about 240 km on the engine & CVT were still great. I spent over a year looking at...

I have specified both the Infotainment system (Route & charger Planner) & the ELK button on the quick drop down menu, AEB & LKA updates. SAIC made a rod for their own back. The initial design (Royal Academy of Arts) and Engineering (UK MG/SAIC team) did a great job & then let down with some...

Thanks for pointing out Neeravs blog @Kenno . I'd seen that a long time ago and forgotten about it. Anyway Geoff King have responded to my email & they are going to do the updates in November, I think reluctantly as they whinged about the cost to them. Anyway I pointed out that it was on the...

The MG4 models on sale in Australia are still the same as the originals. The new blob less powerful models are not available here. The software updates are now standard on all the new MG4s.

There was no discount and my car was with them all day from 7:50 am till 4:45 pm. It was supposed to be ready at 3:30pm. I have written back to them requesting them to honour the original agreement as per the service statement when booking on line. I'll post their response when I get it. Below...

It is 2 weeks since I had my 2 year 40km service & I finally got a response from Geoff King about software updates. They now say MG has advised that no software updates are to be done at a regular service interval. When I booked my MG4 in "ALL SOFTWARE UPDATES" was specified in the detailed...

I did have to look it up. I guess Lismore, NSW was named after the Isle of Lismore population 170. The NSW Lismore has a population of about 43,700.

I adjusted the pressure on the front right tyre to 260 kPa. The rest were 276 to 280 after they did the rotation. I went down to the shops (5km) & the correct pressure is being reported from the front right so the learning process has worked.

The latest MG4 manual as per the iSmart App has the TPMS self learning process in it on page 241. What make more turns while driving means is anyones guess. Maybe you need to go round corners so the TPMS knows which wheels are at the front & theoretically which is left and which is right but...

I asked them to so I hope so. The pressures were all over the place when I picked the car up so I'll check today & drop the pressure on one tyre, go for a drive & see what happens. Based on their performance I am not hopeful. Once I get this sorted out I will not be going back. Lismore is the...

I got my car serviced (40k first service) by Geoff King MG today. It was booked from 8:10am til 3:30 pm. I got there at 7:50am & finally got the car back at 4.45pm. Almost 9 hours for the following. The drivers window motor mechanism was fixed (poor connections) but they broke some trim getting...

That is the same screen I have which is from when the car was new 2 years ago. Geoff King have not updated all of the software so you may have to take it back for them to do it. I will be discussing this with them on Thursday when I take mine in for its first service & will make sure it is done.

When I booked my MG4 in on line the first available date was 15 September, then I got a call to say that date was booked out & the earliest was 2nd of October. The on line quoted cost is $360.00. The drivers window failure will be warranty & software updates were included in the quoted cost...
