Yes, I finally found the username and password in my user profile. At first I thought I had to use the username that I use to log in to the website.
 
There was a comment about a guide for software updates so I thought I'd write it here where all the other info is

To connect to the car you need a Vehicle Diagnostic Interface (VDI), from what I've read a VDI2 or VDI3 for MG4, I personally ended up getting a VNCI due to supply issues, it's also substantually cheaper
it's recommended to update connected via USB but I have done some connected via WiFi which worked fine

Once you have the interface you need to install the software on a windows computer, VCI manager & SIPS for software, VDS if you want diagnostics as well (VDS requires a more powerful computer, not sure what spec)
VDS zip password is VDS3
SIPS zip password is SIPS
(Google remove it otherwise)

Open
If you haven't got an account you need a company account to get the Offboard Diagnostic subscription, 1 hour is £5.92, 1 day is £16.24
When you have paid click top right where it shows your name then user profile, you'll see SNW this is the login for both SIPS & VDS

Some of the MG sites if you login it'll get you to change the SNW account password which also affects the software, if you get a long subscription it maybe advisable

Open the VCI manager, click connect (wireless connection will show signal, USB connection will show USB icon)

Once connected it'll change to a tick

you'll get lots of error messages on the car as it checks the different modules, confirm car (EH32) click yes, it'll show the configuration of the car with different pages available on the left side

You can view current versions on the car Vs server by clicking ECU Information

Connect power to 12V battery (charger/maintainer) so battery doesn't go flat during an update

If updating a single module go to Programming and Config, this allows you to program, load the config, program a replacement module

If updating multiple go to One Press, select the ones you want or select all then click next

It'll say several calibrations are required after updating, I've used the car for a while without doing these but I have also done them, doesn't seem to be any difference either way

Can't currently update TBox due to requiring a USB to be used first, don't currently have access to these files or where they're stored for dealerships, I know where thanks to a dealership but I don't have a login

If you want/need to calibrate go to Routine & select required module

TRIP I was told is where they get the USB based updates, unfortunately to get a login you need to complete MG training and have a MG email address
Someone had shared that link with me but all the other files are secured
Appears to be a wordpress site hosted on a AWS EC2 virtual machine
It's where I got my account picture, it's the index page background
Interesting that a couple of people have found that site & file
 
I think I may have also found the Australian equivalent which is:
 
As RMI has been playing up for me & MG support aren't responding to my emails someone has nicely shared some more documents with me, I've quickly sorted them into 3 folders
Manuals - Information documents
TSB - technical service bulletin
Other - anything else
They can be found here (save you hunting on the previous pages)

@siteguru I didn't know if there was any you'd be interested in like some more of the TSB's
 
Both those images simply show this for me. ?‍♂️

They're not images, they're google drive links that the site has embedded.
Click the buttons!

But if you click download it downloads, it's on a Google drive & the link tries to preview but it can't.
