It's that time of year again when our insurance needs renewing. We're with regular standard Aviva at the moment, they are proposing £515 renewal (last year was £443) so it is a significant increase, if not massive. Looking on MSM, I can find quotes for £425 via Darwin, who I've never heard of...

As above, I am thinking about it after a good conversation with them at EE South and following them on YT. Any experiences good or bad, specifically with an MG4? Thanks.

Now 18 months and roughly 18,000 miles in and the fake leather around the driver's seat is deteriorating as shown. Any suggestions on anything that might slow it down? I know what to do with real cow, but not this new stuff. It looks like it is about to crack through to the surface.

Hi folks, I am just highlighting this thread, please contribute your votes to this thread on what you'd like us to cover in future podcasts, thank you. https://www.mgevs.com/threads/what-topic-should-we-cover-in-our-next-podcast.17441/

One thing that still bugs me is the little white light that is always on in the overhead light cluster. It stops the cabin being properly dark at night. Has anyone successfully removed this and is it difficult?

What car recently put this out. Some interesting conclusions: Tesla most efficient by some margin MG4 joint sixth most efficient, mid-table Many cars overestimate or underestimate their efficiency by a lot, MG4 and Tesla spot on accuracy, BYDs and others lie a lot. (could this be down to...

Hi, Having gone from no AC charging, I have just had my car fixed and updated. Now it seems we can't stop it charging - the car is ignoring the charge limit that is set. For example last night it went from 63% to 100% despite an 80% limit set and visible both in the app and on the car. I...

I've had this advice confirmed by several different charger makers on their helpline: - Generally if the charger lets you, authorise the charge before you plug in as it saves having to plug and unplug if it doesn't work for some reason. - Use the app if it exists to pay for the charge: much...

We were out today for a Sunday xmas fayre to an old country house with a muddy field car park. It was an interesting test of RWD traction in the mud. We had trouble reversing up a slope. usual one wheel spinning, the other doing nothing. When we got going forward, it was better, got some...

Hi, Going on an unfamiliar road trip soon and am planning to use MFG chargers en route, since it is convenient. But I have a nagging doubt there were MG4 compatibility issues at one time - does anyone know the current situation and anyone reliably rapid CCS charge on these without issues...

Hi, I've noticed my iPhone is consistently overheating when plugged in to my MG4, as it seems to be wirelessly charging and this always makes the phone hot. My battery health isn't brilliant and I think getting the phone hot repeatedly is contributing to this. So I am seeking ways to disable...

I think it is time after a year to survey dealer warranty experiences. Last time many people had not yet needed to visit the dealer, so hopefully the results will be more useful this time. Please only vote if you have (or did have) an MG4. If you've had multiple visits for multiple issues...

Hi, I am off to France for a short trip and will be getting an EV hire car. Anyone know if hire car companies in France provide a choice of cables (i.e. granny, type 2) and any charger memberships? Or am I supposed to sort something out? I have time to prepare and know France well but not...

I need to change the password on my iSmart binding. Is there a simple way to do this or do I have to contact the dealer? Thanks.

Could you post a picture? Would help us understand what you mean.

Hi, There's a lot of talk about bad dealers but little data - one or two bad or good experiences is not necessarily representative even in the same dealer group, let alone across dealers. This poll is intended to shed light on experiences with the MG4 only, that's deliberate because it is the...

Hi, To give something back to this very helpful forum, I have created what I hope will be a useful tool. This is intended to complement the excellent Hints & Tips resource. This tool is a Google Sheet that tracks all the faults reported on the forum in the last 3 months (plus a few I remember...

We've switched to Octopus Go and I've set a charge schedule on the car for 00:30 to 04:30, plugged into the Zappi, then left the car - but the car is charging straight away! We've got the Zappi on Fast charge mode. How do I get it to charge using the scheduled times instead? Any help...

Hi, I'm trying to bind my other half's phone to the car with the MG iSmart app but unless I am going mad, the Users menu is not showing so I can't get in. How does one bind a second phone? Do I have to unbind my phone first? Any advice gratefully received! I am aware that you cannot have...

Just getting to grips with CarPlay on the MG4, all working but I need a better cable. The ones we have are too good in the sense that it is hard to bend over the end to fit the phone on the charging mat. Our phones are nearly as big as the mat. Really need a right angle connector to make it...
