Finally got round to fitting my dash cam in the FL and looking for advice/tips on best place to mount the front camera. I’ve placed it to the side of the rear view mirror like I did in my PFL, this seems to be the best place to avoid blocking my view. But in the FL the housing behind the mirror...

I had this on my previous PFL, I think it is down to rushing the start up process. I’d jumped in, switched on and went to clear the dust off and the wipers didn’t work. Pulled up and switched off and on again , but allowed time to boot up properly, all was fine

When I took my SR Excite for its first service in 2023, it was just £35 for a low mileage option. Took my new LR SE for its first service last month, again low mileage, and it was £97! Still better than the £180 normal mileage price. Interestingly this year was the first time I was offered a low...

Agreed. I had to reverse about a quarter of a mile down a country lane last summer and I had to keep straightening back up because I was veering off all the time when I thought I was going straight. The reverse camera puts me off when parking as the lines are so far off straight. Have to try and...

That’s not worked, giving the message every time the app refreshes now!

Question about the app (FL SE): not every time, but a few times a week when I open the app it says the alarm has gone off , but is now deactivated so I can drive fine. But the car is on the drive and hasn’t had the alarm go off and it seems to say the activation was in the middle of the Atlantic...

What model? I think I have them on my 24 plate MG5 SE as I realised there are no visible holes for the wheel nuts. I had wondered how to get them off

I know how you feel. I loved my MG5 Excite, it was an amazing introduction to EVs. But when I realised it was worth way less than the balloon payment I wanted out of the PCP ASAP. I took VT as soon as I hit the 50% point and managed to get one of the last MG5 SEs at the reduced price. Best move...

That’s why I gave my PFL back and upgraded in January as the available new (or in my case pre Reg with less than 100 miles) stock with £10k plus off the list price was running out. Think there were only about 3 left on Autotrader at the time. And there were older second hand cars with 1000s of...

I was offered less than £10k for my 3.5 year old MG5 Excite with less than 13,000 miles on it It’s on autotrader for over £12k

Exactly, or roof bars for me. I thought I could do without them when I bought the Excite and I was wrong, even though I only need them a couple of times a year. It’s what you need and what you want/can justify in terms of price. I could have kept paying another 9 months PCP and then paid more...

I handed my 71 plate MG5 SR Excite back when I reached the 50% mark on PCP, I did this to pick up an MG5 SE while they still had them available with a hefty discount. I bought a pre registered MG5 LR SE (24 plate ex-demo with only 100 miles on the clock) for £19k. I think the upgrade is worth...

Yes, I don’t think it is doing much regeneration while above 97% and thought it must be limiting it somehow. I’ve also always found it eats the first 5% very fast when charged to 100% especially if it’s been balance charged, at least my PFL did, only filled the new one up all the way twice so far

In my PFL SR the KERS could only be set to 3 from 97% or less (and could only get back to 2 if I set it to 1 when above 97%). However, I’ve noticed in my FL SE I can set it to 3 even at 100%
