    Android (non auto)???????

    I am having the utmost difficulty in persuading my Mg4 and smartphone to talk to each other in order to use Android Auto. The dealership has been very helpful, and 2 of their staff have given me an hour of their time to no avail. They are as baffled as me. I have not owned a smartphone until...

    Washer nozzles

    Can anyone tell me how to lift the washer nozzles on my MG4? The passenger side nozzle in particular is too low and liberally sprays below the windscreen. I don't want to bother the dealership, but I don't seem to be able to adjust it myself. There appears to be a slot on the nozzle - does this...

    At last, progress on my traffic announcements, but which software version?

    Brief reminder. The TA's on my 4 Trophy don't work, but I am at last getting somewhere. After failed attempts at getting a response from MG (a letter and a message via the website contact page both being ignored), I eventually made contact via the customer support email address. After an...

    Charging my MG4 at Tesla Superchargers in Exeter

    I see from ZapMap that the open-to-all chargers at the Exeter Tesco Service Centre (EX2 8FN) support contactless payment. Do I also need an app to activate it? I would like just to roll up and use my credit card at the charger. I don't have a smartphone which is why I don't have the app. Same...

    Quick trip to Sidmouth area in my MG4

    Just had a weekend break to a B&B near Sidmouth to watch our granddaughter competing in some equestrian events at Bicton. Charged up to 100% at home (Isle of Wight) before I left on Friay and put a bit (17%) in at the Wenea charger in Sidmouth. Returned home Monday with 100 miles left on the...

    Traffic Announcements

    I raised this issue some time ago but have so far not had any response...... The SatNav stopped working, and the traffic announcements have never worked since I bought the car (May this year) so I took the car into the dealership for a reset. They fixed the SatNav, and claimed to have fixed the...

    No Traffic Announcements....

    I have had my MG4 for a couple of weeks and so far am loving it, except..... On my MG5 I could get traffic announcements - you know - the messages from various BBC local radio stations about traffic issues in the local area, as you travel about the country, but so far I have failed to get these...

    Satnav??? New to Mg4

    I have just swapped over from a 5 to a 4 (yesterday) and have begun to play with the various features. So far I am completely stumped with the inbuilt SatNav. It shows the map on the screen OK, but how do I enter new routes? There is nothing in the handbook, and I can't find anything to help on...

    Should I replace my PR-FL excite with a new MG5 (probably SE)??

    My pre-facelift MG5 Excite SR is just coming up to 3 years old and my dealer is about to try to persuade me to change. The question is - should I? Can anyone tell me, succinctly, what are the benefits of the latest 5 over the original? I am particularly interested to know whether it can take...

    Final tax reminder???????

    I have today received a final reminder to tax my MG5, which was due on August 1st (albeit at zero cost). However, I did not receive an earlier reminder letter to say it was due, which I have always had in the past. My wife has also received a final demand for taxing her ICE car, having not had...

    Evyve Charge Points

    Hi everybody, I have not come across Evyve chargers before. I see that they accept contactless payment which is what I need. Does anyone have experience of using them? Are they reliable? I will probably want to try the one situated at Hillfield Farm Solihull in the near future. Failing that I...

    MG5 original 2021 spec and PodPoint Solo Charger - overnight timed charging

    Hi All I suspect that this enquiry has already been answered somewhere, but I am blowed if I can find the answer! I have a 21-plate MG5 SR and a PodPoint Solo home charger. Until very recently I have not had a suitable mobile phone on which to run the PodPoint app, so I have until now just...

    BP Pulse - are there any issues at the moment?

    I am probably worrying unduly, but ........ I am due shortly to visit Wiltshire and will need 2 top-ups (probably). Unfortunately the hotel I am staying at does not have charging facilities. MFG and Instavolt both offer suitable locations for my proposed itinerary, -but - should there be issues...

    I am shortly to visit Okehampton for a few days (no I am not playing golf at Ashbury/Manor), and intend to charge at Gridserve Exeter on the way there and on the way back. However, I think I read somewhere that some people have had issues with the Exeter Gridserve, but I now can't find where I...

    Eco,N or S and Kers 1,2 or 3 research

    I am not sure that this is the best forum for this thread, but here goes. If anyone can suggest a better location then please let me know. I am interested in the relative merits of driving in different modes and Kers settings (MG5 SR) in relation to battery efficiency. Has any detailed research...

    Good, bad or average?

    I have finally managed a run on the mainland, and took a round trip of 400 miles - a there and back holiday, a canal trip by narrowboat between the 2 200 mile journeys- with a full car of four adults and luggage. My car is a standard range 5 SR. I fully charged before I left home, and charged...
