    So count me in for the 12 volt discharged battery problem

    The 12v battery doesn't have a 7 year warranty, normaly these are covered for 1-2 years.

    Just take it home and drive it, you still have a few years warranty left to get any niggles sorted out.

    2026 MG4 Facelift

    Best to wait until 2nd or 3rd year of production of any new model. That's what I did when I bought my Xpower and for all my previous new cars. For the current MG4 replacement that would mean 2028/29 at the earliest. That would make my Xpower 5 years old and the new models available would also be...

    So long and thanks for all the FSH

    If you take your seatbelt off after putting the car in 'P', put the car in 'D' with foot on brake, flick the parking brake off and drive the car. However, after around 20-30m the seatbelt warning tone will sound. Very simple, very easy and very logical.

    Service price for second service at only 14,000 miles

    So, I assume you perform engine oil analysis at the manufacturers recimmended periodic oil change interval to check for metal, mineral content and shearing level in case it can be continued to be used fir another few thousand or more miles? Or do you change as oer service schedule or even sooner...

    Service price for second service at only 14,000 miles

    Even small amounts of moisture absorbed by brake fluid (which is hygroscopic) can corrode ABS pumps, items that were rare or never found on cars decades ago. Brake systems are much more complex now and require clean, moisture free fluid to operate optimally.

    Service price for second service at only 14,000 miles

    Disagree about the brake fluid. It's relatively cheap to have changed and virtually all sources recommend 2 year intervals. Cheap insurance. You don't even have to go to an MG dealer for this work, won't affect any warranty as long as it's from a reputable garage with a proper receipt.

    Screen stuck or black

    A satnav will disable its power system when the battery exceeds a certain temperature. The screen in a car doesn't have a battery as pat of its unit construction, so temperature won't be the issue with the screen in the car.

    To use or not use A/C in hot weather

    I use A/C pretty much every time I'm in the car between May and October and June through September, daytime doesn't get below 30°C, often something like 33-38°C, can be in the 40s°C some days, normal here. Don't notice any impact on range.

    strange failure to go into ready

    Put the car in 'D' or 'R', disable the electronic brake and you can drive away. After a few seconds a seatbelt warning gong will sound but doesn't affect the movement of the car. I use this every time when I move in/out of my drive to then get out and close/open the gates.

    MG4 Software Update Thread

    I use AA for music, typically internet radio. Volume returns to previous level after interrupting messages, so no issues here.

    Merged thread: Automatic Emergency Braking activating for no reason

    The software IS covered by warranty and will be upgraded/patched if you have a genuine issue. Take your car to another dealer. Plenty have had software upgrades free of charge when they have reported an outstanding issue.

    Merged thread: Automatic Emergency Braking activating for no reason

    I haven't had the latest LKA software update and yet my car rarely intervenes with LKA. Maybe once every 2-3 days I get a single warning tone and a very gentle nudge in the steering wheel. I've never turned LKA off as it's basically never 'there'.
