Re: MG4 Urban (54 kWh) - Analytical examination of specifications, pricing, and distinctions compared to Classic MG4.

Given your location in France, is the heat pump a standard feature across all regions? I assume your onboard charger is likely 3-phase; is that consistent with the UK, or is it single-phase like the earlier MG4?

SD4 cranking delay

Greetings, and I am hoping that you can all help to clarify this matter. After nearly three years of ownership, I still get the "smart" message from my 2012 SD4 Dynamic. I've figured out how to fix the "key not found" issue by simply locking and unlocking the starter. However, now when I try to ...
