    X Power Rejection.

    My car came off the ship Nov 23, looks like parcel shelf date Sep 23, vibe free (slightly noticeable initially, had steering damper fix, not noticeable now).

    MG4 Xpower - Australian real world km range

    I’m probably roughly the same in terms of kWh/100km. But I suspect I’ll never see 360km on one charge … lol I did a 190km trip last weekend, took me from 80% charge down to 15%, average speed just over 90kph (mostly 110kph on open roads). I don’t ever expect to get more than 200kms on a...

    Anyone wash their car today? ?

    I did my first wash at 10,000km (6 months), and while it was in at the dealers recently they washed it - 15000km (9 months). I’m thinking I can prob get away with two, maybe three washes a year ….

    Mg 4 power steering failure

    Ok, final post. Dealer has returned the car. They updated software, and after extensive testing haven’t been able to reproduce the fault (except through controlled tests with the wheels in the air). So MG said they are satisfied, hopefully wont happen again ?. Ideally the software update fixed...

    Windshield Replacement ADAS Calibration

    When my winscreen broke it took months for the glass to turn up. Had to drive around with a huge crack in the screen. Then a couple of weeks for the dealer to get the right hardware / software to do the calibration. Complete saga

    Mg 4 power steering failure

    Interestingly, it’s been a long wait and a lot of testing, but I’ve just been getting alarms on phone, they’ve managed to reproduce the error !! Annoying not having the car. But I agree - dealer has been going into bat for me on this one, if there is an issue I’d like to have it fixed.

    Mg 4 power steering failure

    Time for an update for those interested … Car has been with the dealer for over two weeks now. From what I could see on the app they reproduced the brake failure code on the first day they had it. They said they cleared error codes, updated software, and tested again. They tell me they haven’t...

    Mg 4 power steering failure

    Pleased to hear it. Car has been at the dealers a couple of days now. I got an alert on the phone showing they encountered the same fault while testing it. But when chatted to the front desk, they said 90 plus faults logged when car was delivered, so they cleared the faults, updated software...

    Mg 4 power steering failure

    Just had this, leaving for work this morning, just as I entered a hairpin bend …. MG have kindly picked the car up to have it checked out. Not going very fast but … V scary … no steering just when I needed it …

    Lane Assist Trying To Kill Me!

    Personally I don’t think mg4 lka is bad (like this article says). I just think lka should be optional on all cars ! It seems to me its useful for some owners, and not for others. Should not be mandatory.

    Or, they could not make lka mandatory. Its useless tech.

    Lane Assist Trying To Kill Me!

    Where I live it goes off every day about 200 metres down the lane. I hate it. I end up trying to turn it off driving around a hairpin bend. Thats the dangerous bit. My only cure at the moment is to try and remember to turn it off before i leave the driveway. Political parties need to pick up on...

    Lane Assist Trying To Kill Me!

    NCAP/govt/authorities need to sort this out. Most of us have made it a routine to turn off LKA. Its stupid tech that introduces more risk than its trying to mitigate

    Speed limiter

    I want my old skyline more and more. Lka is bad enough.

    Satnav??? New to Mg4

    I didnt realise anyone actually uses the inbuilt sat nav … i tried it a few times but it was deadful. And why put up with that when google maps exist ?

    Xpower as a hot hatch - cornering in particular

    “…sport just seems to understeer and traction control all but cuts power”. So far as my experience is concerned you are dot on - esc/tsc or whatever (even when turned off) will kill the power delivery. Stink.

    Hmm … no ! Good advice, ta. I’ll give it a go. In the name of science ?

    Slippery when wet

    I had a situation the other day, pulling out on a slope onto the highway in the damp. Put my foot down, a bit of skidding, then no power … Its like the car decided to go into snow mode ?? It was actually unsafe, the car wouldn’t accelerate when I needed it to. What I really wanted was a rally...
