    Charging from a granny lead, dangers???

    I've been charging with the granny lead on a fused outdoor extension, plugged into the kitchen socket circuit (dedicated) overnight, after our dinner-making usage has stopped. Our wiring is 2 years old, has 100a breaker, and I turn the charger off if we use the kettle. Everything else on that...

    Auto lights always coming on ? Hillbilly hack.

    Thread 'Auto lights always coming on ? Hillbilly hack.' Auto lights always coming on ? Hillbilly hack. This is the thread ^^ And I'm hoping it can be dealt with via a software update, but not holding my breath. Edit: @tsedge beat me to it ?

    So It seems I have to charge every day to keep my 12v Battery full!

    If your battery is reading 12.6v after being charged fully, then I'd probably rule the battery out and say your likely issue is a parasitic battery drain. I'd be inclined to ask the dealer in question, to diagnose and fix the battery drain. It's very simple to find out if you have got a...

    Improving interior lighting in MG4

    I recently did the front courtesy light upgrade, the LED makes so much difference in comparison to the halogen jobbies, and feels more modern and sleek. Took me about 90 seconds all in, used an old credit card, wedged between the clear plastic cover and the housing and it popped straight out...

    USB A USB B Not Connected

    The alternative to this for anyone struggling with USB playback/AA - is to use Bluetooth on a phone or tablet to stream music that way. The music can either be saved locally on the device or streamed via your usual method. This isn't as 'instant' as having a USB ready to play your songs, but...

    USB A USB B Not Connected

    If you put all the MP3s ripped from each disk in one single folder, it should play them one after the other in order. Or you can create a single MP3 from multiple MP3 files stitched together with the help of some software, there are many options if you have a quick Google when you come to it...

    USB A USB B Not Connected

    Some pictures to start you off when your get round to plugging a USB into the car. As I say, in hindsight, it could probably benefit from not having so many individual CDs within the folder.

    Has Anybody Else Had These Issues????

    The only niggles I've found with the car; The infotainment system could be more user friendly - including the USB Music interface, and the way it reverts to Play All. I've only had to reset it once, no issue. There could be a permanent 'Power Down' button on the main infotainment screen, for...

    MG4 experience

    I remember my first pint as well ? I somehow doubt the legitimacy of this post.. In order to prove it, please take a picture of yourself with your car whilst standing on one leg, whilst simultaneously holding a copy of today's newspaper, and a creme egg. Then there shall be no doubt.

    USB A USB B Not Connected

    I have just tried a USB stick in the car today, after spending an hour or so ripping some CDs to a 64gb memory stick, and adding some MP3s that I've downloaded from torrents (copyright free music - legally of course ;) ) I used VLC to rip the music, it's free, and has an easy to use layout. If...

    Should I power off

    My shutdown procedure, key always in pocket: • Press the P Button, • Pause music/radio • Release seatbelt • Get out of the Car, and lock with the door button (or key fob) When the driver door opens the car is no longer in READY mode. If you want to sit in the car with everything off: Settings...

    Rear lights condensing on MG4 SE

    The LEDs and wiring are sealed, the housing is vented, they can't do much about it, it's a design quirk. Aside from gas sealing the units, they may all do it if the conditions are right (or wrong!) Unless you have pools of water, they can't/won't do anything about it. It would require fully...

    Rear Seat buckles problematic

    It fits in the rear passenger side seat belt recess a lot better than it does the other side because of the middle seat buckle, still not bad though. Takes a bit of fiddling to position it but once it's set, the buckles don't really move.

    Rear Seat buckles problematic

    I bought the ones I posted above, 2 pack for £7.99 and they certainly do the trick, they've been in around a week and no more faffing with the seat belts, even my 6 year old can do it one handed again.

    Rear lights condensing on MG4 SE

    I have seen this on many cars over the years including an ID.3 demo, it doesn't look great, but have heard it is fairly normal on cars without gas sealed units, more so with LEDs and large light units, as others have said. It CAN happen to every car under the above conditions, doesn't mean it...

    USB A USB B Not Connected

    This definitely sounds like a bad connection, either hardware or software related. The 3 points of connection to check would be - Phone USB-in > Cable > Car USB-in. Sounds like you're exhausting those 3 points, the fact you had it working only for it to go off means something isn't quite right...

    Real Cost Per Mile Of EV Driving

    We had an 09 Seat Ibiza 3 cylinder 1.4 TDI ecomotive for a bit as a second car, claimed MPG was 90mpg or so .. I only ever achieved 70mpg in it with a light right foot, which is still pretty spectacular, and free tax was a bonus. It was right amongst the VAG emissions-cheat-scandal though ?
