Here's an interesting one, for several reasons. We were overnighting in Inverness after going to the ballet, and took the opportunity to put the car into a slow charger from about 10%SOC. At around 7:30 this morning I walked the half-mile or so to the chargers and all looked well. I clicked the...

Last year, I posted some video of a trip to the village in snowy conditions that left many other cars unable to get up the many steep hills on our area. I was amazed at Goth Leo's ability in the treacherous conditions. Today, I had to go the village again, and there's been a slight thaw. The...

I've done a search, but can't find anything on the forum about this, but it must be mentioned somewhere. When @Rolfe was here a few days back, we discussed the annoying thing that the interior lights don't come on when you open the door. You seem to have to switch them on manually. @Rolfe...

We have just done a road trip south (well most things are south for us) and on our way to Inverness, along a road we know pretty well, we pass a four way junction that needs caution. A little way after that, there is a road to one side that also needs care as people may be waiting for a while...

OK, who has had a better example of Android Auto getting things almost, but not quite, entirely unlike being correct. This one, earlier today had us in stitches of laughter, to the extent that it should be considered a driving hazard as the tears coursed down our faces. We wanted some music...

A report back for info -mods - if this needs merging with other first service threads, that's fine with me. First off, one reads the horror stories some folk on the forum have regarding dealerships. We must be very fortunate, as Dicksons in Inverness has been the model of professionalism on...

We have seen the future and it works. We live in the north west Highlands, and do not have the ability to charge the car at home, so are reliant on public chargers. We left home knowing that it takes about 30% battery in Goth Leo our black SE LR. 45 miles of that leg is single track, but we...

Herself said to me the other day "I see we must have picked up a stone chip on the bonnet." Well, that's to be expected, but today I asked her to show me where, and I find that the bonnet has numerous little +- 1mm white pockmarks. They're scattered everywhere, to the extent that we would have...

Well, that was an interesting morning. TL;DR - I'm glad we got the all-season tyres we did late last year. There didn't seem to be much snow this morning, but I had to take a parcel the 6 miles to the post office. There are several steep sections in the hills along the single-track road around...

We left Stirling in temperatures of -1°C, which required a lot of window scraping to clear the ice, and it took some miles before the car's efficiency seemed to start to stabilise. I can only think that it warms itself as well as the occupants at first, then uses less power for that. The roads...

Two interesting articles recently. One is from today's Grauniad with the headline "China's share of Europe's electric car market accelerates as UK leads sales." The article notes that the MG4 is Britain's best-selling electric car at the moment. It further points out that any prejudice against...

The question of tyres comes up in various threads here, at least according to some searching I've done. And quite a few folk have views on types of tyres used on non-MG4s, which probably translate to their use on MG4s as well. But I thought it worth while to ask opinions specifically. As we head...

Just to let the hive mind here know I phoned the local (well, 100 miles away is local around here) dealer from whom we bought Goth Leo 3 months ago, to make sure that some annoying error messages have been logged. Nothing excessive, problematic or frequent, and nothing folk here don't know about...

I think we have just experienced A Series of Unfortunate Events. but may I ask for the collective wisdom of the forum, please. On Friday we slow charged the car (SE LR) to full, planning a journey yesterday. We drove about 100 miles, and, as charging closer to home is rather expensive, thought...

Just before we bought our MG4, we happened to be at a small family garage, when they were spraying Lanoguard on a customer car's chassis. It looked intriguing especially for an ex Land Rover owner who came to hate Waxoyl, and doubted it did much anyway. The garage owner thought highly of the...

Tomorrow will be three weeks since we collected Goth Leo, our MG4 SE LR. We have already done nearly 1400 miles. This forum was very helpful as we stepped up to make the decision whether or not to buy Goth Leo, but there was one aspect of it that I was aware of, and that is, in general, folk...

In our area, sheep roam free, but are pretty street-wise. We have been aware that our MG is pretty quiet, perhaps silent at low speeds, so have been careful when sheep are in the road. Today, I was coming home, and fortunately was going quite slowly. I saw two holidaymakers with two large black...

So sorry if this is an FAQ, but I've searched the forum for some time, and looked through the manual too, and can't find the answer. The radio on our new computer suite - sorry, car, comes on automatically. I can't find any way of turning this off. It's probably simple. but if anyone has a...

We have just returned home (a two hour journey) from Inverness, where we collected our new MG4 SE Long Range. The car coped with our roads here in the north west Highlands with ease, an inkling of which we gained during our test drive the other day. It was good on the single track that is the...
