    Tried a new polish today (EDIT: waxed my car for the first time!)

    Tried out a new polish wax today on the MG. Supagard 365 gloss enhancer, and it certainly does!

    Are we allowed to jack up our MG4s

    This may sound like a daft question, but my friend has an EV (Polestar 2), and he has been told specifically he is not allowed to jack it up. I need to jack my MG4 up because I have a flat tyre, the car is at home, and I want to take wheel off, so I can take it to tyre place to get a replacement.

    Speedo under reading?

    My local council have put up speed awareness signs on various roads near me recently. I've noticed that the speed the sign says I'm doing is 2 mph higher than the speed displayed on the dashboard. I thought speedos aren't allowed to under read, and that at speeds lower than 30 mph tend to...

    Service now warning, but car recently serviced

    I had the first service on my MG4 back in June. Earlier today the odometer clicked onto 14,000 miles exactly, and at the same time a warning flashed up saying "Service now!". I'm assuming this is because the dealership didn't reset the service indicator in the car. Had a quick look through...

    Foot rest

    I removed my foot rest today so that I could take some measurements from it, and hopefully create a revised version that is a different angle to be more comfortable. What a mess was lurking underneath it! Needless to say, it's been cleaned up. I also found a bit of liquid on the side of the...

    Supagard Paintseal Cream

    Based on @KMC's recommendation I bought some Supagard Paintseal Cream. I used it on my wife's Polo last week, and today it was the turn of the MG4. I said it before, and I'll say it again, it's great stuff, and takes half the time to use compared with the Autoglym products I used to use. My...

    Shiny! (Clean car)

    Sunday morning well spent, cleaned inside and out. I do like the Supagard cleaning pack that came with the car. Have added some additional items over the past year to make cleaning a lot quicker and easier. Still got to try their Paint Seal cream that another member recommended.

    Did you get any MG4 related presents for Christmas?

    I got a set of mud flaps for my MG4, and I've been out already and fitted them :D They were easy to fit, and I hope they stop the sides of the car getting quite so mucky, especially the sills. Did anybody else get any MG4 related gifts today?

    Battery percentage stuck/frozen (now resolved)

    Yesterday I needed to top up on a rapid charger to get home. I stopped at an Evyve charger, which is a brand I've not used before (mostly Instavolt or Osprey) Charging was fine, stuck about 30% charge in, and continued on my way. It used some of that charge getting home, and the displays...

    Car seat organiser

    The kids have been moaning about lack of cup holders in the back of our SE. I saw something similar on Amazon, and thought I can make that. So fired up the computer, and bashed this out on CAD, then printed it in PETG on my 3D printer. Clips to headrest and has a cup holder large enough for a...

    Aargh! Got my first scratch on the MG4. Need help with paint colour/code

    While out and about inthe MG today, I saw our local fire station was offering car washes for donations to local search and rescue charity. So I decided to go and get the car washed. Before I had a chance to say stop, one of the fireman had lifted up my wipers, and yep, got a scratch on edge of...

    Oops, think I broke the entire charging station!

    Popped into a local Instavolt charging station earlier today. 5 chargers in total, 2 available. Plugged in, started charging, and went into the cafe there. A few minutes later checked the charging session it had stopped. When I went to investigate the power was out for the entire charging...

    Dashboard messages

    I've tried searching on here for an answer, but not been successful. Is it possible to recall messages that pop up on the dash display, or maybe make them display for longer. Sometimes they appear and disappear so fast I don't have time to read them.

    Problem unlocking charging cable from car

    Had my first problem today. Went to ASDA and used one of their free charging points (BP Pulse) When I came out, I unlocked the car as usual to stop it charging. Tried to remove the cable from the car. It was still locked. Checked on the BP Pulse app and the car was still charging, so...

    To wave, or not to wave?

    So while out in my MG4 I have come across other MG4 owners coming the other way. I've had Land Rovers and Volkswagens in the past (still do), and I'm used to giving other drivers a cheery wave. I've found myself doing the same with other MG4 owners. I'm yet to get a response back from any of...

    MG4 Phone Bumper - 3D printed

    One of my hobbies is 3D printing. I've designed a new phone bumper for my MG4 EV to stop my phone from sliding off the factory phone mat, which can happen if being a bit too enthusiastic when cornering. My design is based on Tim Holzhausen's design for an MG4 phone railing which is in another...
