This is odd as I've found my Oct 2023 MG4 Trophy is the most accurate speedo reading I've ever had, the street speed signs have consistently read exactly the same as my speedo reading, so too has the GPS and Waze speed readings.

Yes the 12V socket does turn off when ignition is off. I also used the 12V socket for my front and rear dash cam, it's a bit fiddly routing the cables under the roof lining, through the boot lid to neatly exit the grommet just above the centre of the rear window glass. I put some silicone grease...

Thanks Dave99, I would be interested to know more about assigining an easy access button to LKA, I must have a dig around with our still sluggish info screen, but TBH, the LKA is so much better, I dont need to turn it off at all, just a gentle reminder occasionally. It's a bit like taking a...

My MG4 Trophy LR was in for its first service today, £86 for nothing much more than a clean and a software update. The full update version is SW168-29958-1300R59. BUT that software update has done amazing things to the LKA, NO MORE jerky movements when the white line is touched, at least at...

Good idea, I'd love the XPower, but at 76, perhaps my speed days are behind me ?? but my wife thinks my 4 trophy is quick enough, mine is approaching it's 1st anniversary, trouble is there's a huge deficit, may just wait until it's 2 years old, love the look of the new Skoda Elroq, a bit more...

I don't like my Ohmi Home Pro home charger app, I've tried using it a couple of times but prefer to set up an overnight charge using the MG4 app, it's easy and reliable. If you are struggling to find out how, shout and we can run through it. I'm currently on hols in Portugal, if I miss it...

Must have been downhill all the way lol, I've had 5 and 6 on several occasions, but it soon reverts to under 4 on our local country roads and a fair bit less on dual carriageway/motorway. I'm convinced it only an indication and cannot be relied on as very accurate. Sounds like a typical...

Yes both of these things have happened to me too, the screen often goes blank and I have to press the home button to reset, it's not a real problem, I've become used to it. .... BUT in a particular situation auto braking is scary, living in the countryside and not far from home, a car is often...

We are all hoping never have to use the jump start I reckon Tony. but I would much prefer to start an EV than a 5 or 6 litre car with one of those things, I've previously mentioned, the one I bought had a similar spec, but refused to turn over my Hyundai Tucson a couple of months ago when the...

That is really interesting Bricktop, I did not realise there are so many Chinese EV makers! thanks for posting that snippet.

Remeber to use it wisely as it sucks juice from the battery, unless you are plugged in and charging! likewise having the AC/heating on in the winter, it seriously reduces range, which is already a fair bit less than summer during cold weather! We switch AC off whenever possible on long journeys...

HaHa, I guess the compass is useful if it's dark AND foggy, to help see which way the car is facing! Hopefully that's in the basic user instructions, probably not a salesman's main selling point lol.

Well, I didn't realise that Clive, yes indeed rather silly if the boot is not accessible like the MG4 range during 12V failure. It was a general comment to try and help others, fortunately my MG4 Trophy LR has not suffered during two 4-week periods unused in an airport car park. What I did...

This type of question/problem has been mentioned here and on other manufacturers forums on several occasions, by me and others. My solution and that of many others who leave their cars for long periods, particularly at airport car parks whilst on longer holidays, is to purchase a small 12 volt...

No boost button, it's supposed to be able to cope with a larger ICE engine, than 2 litres, my fear of it's inability was realised.

Remember also to keep the jump pack in an easily accessible place, DEFINITELY NOT in the boot as this is difficult to access with no battery power. That's an interesting screenshot of the (presumably) MG4 vehicle status, mine (late October 23) is totally different as screenshot shows. y

I charge it up every 3 or 4 months, but last week after 4 months it was still showing 75% charge, so I imagine it would still do the job on an EV. I also bought a cheap head torch to keep in the jump starter case, that's just in case by sods law it's dark when I'm trying to get get it kick started

I've found the Ave miles per kWh is very ambiguous, I'm going on a longer trip tomorrow Hampshire to Bucks, I'll try to remember to monitor it again. Recently got a newly charged to 80% milage of a bit over 200, a couple of hours later it was reading 20 plus miles more, all down to temperature...

The fear of that happening and being parked in airport car parks for several weeks made me buy an emergency battery pack, it fits neatly under the front seat, but although it's supposed to be able to start a big IC engine, it wouldn't start our 2 litre Hyundai diesel when the battery went flat...

Yes very easily removed, it makes a huge difference to visibility.
