I wonder why MG didn't have the option of a SR battery on the MG4 Trophy ? I'm sure there are many people who only do short local trips for the majority of their driving, but would like the extra options that the Trophy offers.

Does the battery heating system have a pump ? I was just wondering, if you never used battery heating would the lack of movement affect the quality of the coolant and if it has a pump could it seize up through lack of use ? I was thinking an occasional use of the system to stir it up might be...

Strange thing today, the radio didn't turn off when I got out and locked the car. The screens went black as normal but the radio was still playing. Tried turning car off in the menus and getting out and restarting the car, still the same. The only way I could turn it off was by holding the home...

Just a thought, if you had a secure place to park, what detrimental effect would leaving the car switched on permanently have ? I know when you get out of the car it comes out of ready mode, so the car can't be driven without the key. The car maintains the 12v when in this state. Just thinking...

Just seen this video on Youtube via a facebook link that tells you how to unbind your MG4 using the iSmart app.

I noticed on the infotainment screen that you can't just tap to select things, you have to press and hold, only for about a second, but it makes it unsafe if you have to select anything whilst driving. FWIW the screen is clean. I was wondering this morning, as the system booted up and declared...

I think my car is alive. Today I unlocked the car, opened the door to look at the tyre pressure label and shut and locked the door. I then opened the boot and the radio came on, it had put itself into accessory mode. I didn't touch the seat or even go in the car. Unlocking and relocking the car...

Is there an english version of a workshop manual available for the MG4 ? I came across this one on Ebay but it's in Italy so I'm not sure if it's in English and it is a bit expensive. MANUALE OFFICINA SAIC MG4 EV WORKSHOP MANUAL | eBay

Nearly every time I put the heated seat and steering wheel on it turns off when the HVAC screen closes, I have to open it and turn them on again. Am I missing a step or something when I turn them on ?

Strange behaviour today from the radio and the first time this has happened. Firstly the infotainment system rebooted as I was driving along, the radio was still playing while it was rebooting. Next, when I arrived at my destination I locked the car and the radio kept playing when I locked and...

Tried snow mode today as there was a light covering on our road and I'm loving it. It's so smooth on take off and unlike eco mode, the brakes don't feel soggy. The regen being less severe worked great on a steep hill I go down where, in normal mode, I usually have to press the accelerator a bit...

For some reason the "accumulated total" on the economy screen zeroed itself today. Does it do this after so many miles or is it just yet another software glitch ? I was hoping to leave this as a lifetime show of economy, but now it's gone down to the same as the "From start" screen which is...

Just a heads up for those whose car clock didn't go back this weekend, use GPS time in the general settings.

Has anyone else noticed that LKA would rather crash into parked cars than cross the central white line, even when you don't actually cross the white line. My car seems to think it's bigger than it actually is. It's the same when I reverse off the drive or into a tight space, the sensors go...

I noticed that when I start the car and press the brake to get into ready mode, if I get out of the car faffing about for a while the "READY" indicator on the screen is no longer there when I get back in. Is the car still in ready mode or has it dropped back to accessory mode ? The reason I ask...

Just wondering if the 4 has a parking pawl in the transmission which engages when you press "P" on the selector. I know the gen 1 ZS didn't, "P" just engaged the handbrake on the rear wheels, but the MG4 manual says "P" locks the transmission and there is a slight rock and a metallic clunk sound...

I noticed that when I've just finished charging my Trophy at home, the passenger side active grill shutter is open but the driver's side one is not. I thought they were all one shutter, are they separate left and right or is mine broken ?

Am I the only one having trouble getting the windscreen washers to actually put fluid on the screen ? No matter where I position the nozzles they just blast a fine spray off the wiper arms or if I aim them above the wiper arm they spray the roof. Either way it's a fine mist and not a jet as I'm...

9 weeks in, my MG4 has developed a buzz/rattle in the driver's side rear door. Noticed it going over rough surfaces and it rattles when you thump the door, sounds like a loose bracket inside the door. Anyone else had this ?

What interesting or funny greeting messages have owners configured in to their infotainment systems, mine is just on the random one at the moment ?
