The normal advantage of V2L from an EV is that it has a large capacity 51, 64 or 77 kW/h (MG4) HV battery pack and an onboard inverter. So all you need to supply is a type 2 connector to 13A adaptor cable and set the car into discharge mode. Using the regular 12v battery will severely limit the...

@Roger M, I thought there wouldn't be a winter as such with frosts where you are. I hoped the thread might be useful as it shows in the UK how we are dealing with charging flap issues. I presume in your case that when you press on the flap to open it, the flap moves but won't release. The...

Is this the same vehicle, or are we talking about 3 different vehicles. The first photo in this post the vehicle is less damaged, whereas the following 4 photos the fire has taken place where the vehicle is.

I noticed that there was significant camber on the rear wheels too. The rear suspension is a multilink design and I think all the rubber bushes have burnt away allowing vast movement of the components with the cars weight to produce the collapse. The front suspension has also moved back as the...

The battery pack will balance at the target charge level of charge selected, for a long range (NMC) pack 80% being the recommended. It will also balance at other levels too. Typically the charging power reduces considerably when nearing the target level until it says "not charging" on the iSmart...

The emergency release in the trunk is for the charge connector (it manually withdraws the Type 2/CCS connector locking pin) it has no effect on the charge flap door. That has a separate lock arrangement. The Cyberster charging flap and connector looks identical to MG 4. In the UK the charge flap...

I charged mine to 100% on Wednesday night as I was going on a long trip on Thursday, it was then indicating 250 miles in Eco mode. At my destination it was reading 62% for a mileage of 102.7 miles, the mls/kwh were 4.3. mainly due to the milder weather. The previous occasion I charged to 80% and...

From the information I've seen it will have the same battery options as the MG4 (as it's built on the same platform, and already available in China), So 49, (formerly 51), 64 and 77 kwh battery packs

@Villamark, over a short distance the mi/kWh figure is very variable, depending on the terrain. Where I live is hilly, so a trip into the town, mainly downhill will produce figures above 6 mi/kWh even this time of year. My return journey would be far less as its uphill and the average would drop...

That's interesting @gazza487 in that there was no ice, but still cold i guess and potentially brittle. It still points to a switch failure or the plunger that couples the button on the handle to the switch itself. Mine was similar in that it it had no real feel / little movement after it failed...

I had to have my drivers door handle replaced. It became intermittent and then stopped working all together over a period of a couple of months. The handle contains a switch with an external button and an antenna for the keyless entry, the same on the passengers side. There is a third antenna...

I've just had my second service, the dealer price would have been £204.50, the first year was £85.00, however both were included at purchase so nothing paid so far. The second service included brake fluid change, pollen filter, screen wash, key fob battery. The car was also washed. I've just...

Accessory plugs need to be of high quality and make good reliable contact when they are handling the high current the tyre pump draws when operating. Cheap ones such as the one pictured often oveheat, which is what appears to have happened here. The overheating is caused by the centre contact...

Why not give Mg4 Tech Assist, an AI with all the information on MG4 created by @Geekice a go for things like this. I've just looked this up and it produces a very good reply, as has @TerryN. Don't forget the manual is available on the infotainment system in the car, there is also a link to the...

Not at all I'm my case. I narrowed it down to blue or grey. The blue is a great colour, but for the long term I preferred the subtlety of the grey. I had also been looking at other cars in grey /non metallic finish, that some have unkindly referred to as being delivered in primer! If MG had a...

If originality is important to you @CarbonEV, then you can buy an OEM front wiper service pack from Brown and Gammons. Pt number 11360518 Somewhat pricey at £63.97 Inc VAT, they are however SAIC originals from an MG dealership.

When the charging door on my 4 became frozen during the prolonged cold spell a few weeks ago it was caused by the obelisk being iced solid into its receptor as has been pointed out by GoElectric. I think this is a magnet for a hall effect sensor and detects that the charging door is not shut, as...

A friend of mine had a similar issue with his Toyota Yaris Mk2, he just came out one cold morning to find the rear window had shattered. The very curved feature of the glass can have stress in it, and as it is fitted rigidly to the rear tailgate this can build up, exacerbated by temperature...

And, oh boy, when you do take one out you'll be hooked......the refinement, pace and above all the quietness.

As an owner of an MG4 I did notice the difference at first coming from a Ford Cmax. It is not SUV height but that of a normal saloon/hatch. With adjustable seat height, and steering column reach and height adjustment you can get into a really comfortable position, albeit lower to the road than...
