Even with my current ER, I have only used fast chargers three times in two years. I have no doubt that advances in battery design will soon make 300 real summer miles the norm and the same real winter mileage will follow. When that happens, en route charging will inevitably become something of...

I am sure that MG will update their website by 27Q4 🤣

I must admit that I have done it twice. The one thing I have learned is not to touch the light switch while driving!

Thank you. I will give the charging curve map a look = something new for me.

I am not a technical person, so my apologies if this is a stupid question, but is there a way of knowing whether a charge to 100% has balanced the battery or not balanced it?

Does anyone know how sealers adjust the light sensitivity? Is it a percentage scale or, for example, one of five settings? I find my current setting too sensitive but, if I ask for a change on an upcoming service, I don’t want the setting to be insensitive - which I would regard as the greater...

Sometimes, when I am feeling bored on a long journey (the A50 dual carriageway is a good example), I drive on A and then switch to 3 before I slow for a roundabout, reverting to A as I get to the roundabout; I have the right star switch set to facilitate this. I do wonder though whether I am...

I emailed Michelin about ER tyres. Impressed to get a response within 30 minutes. The relevant bit reads: “We checked our commercial catalogue. We do not have Crossclimate 3 in size 235/45 R18 98W. Whether or not we will produce the desired size and index is unfortunately not known at this...

My experience is that, after a while, you come to understand how the GOM works, based on recent driving and other factors, and prefer to trust the computer in your brain. A recent example. I charged from 18% to 100% for a long run, with the GOM showing 348 miles (I wish!). After my long journey...

There’s a parallel thread, about cross climates, running at the moment - with some shared input. Rightly or wrongly, in my 60 years of driving, I’ve never used anything other than summer tyres. We seem to have little ‘winter’ in East Anglia these days. There is a post above about Michelin...

This is fascinating. I guess you always assume what you have is ‘normal’. With my ER, however I have left the screen on exit, I always get HVAC on startup any have to change manually to anything else.

With apologies if I have missed it, can anyone please give me a part number for a rear wiper. I get A721S for the front wipers, but the rear one… ?

Happened to me yesterday. I had been in Settings, checking and changing volume choices, but I don’t recall doing anything else. Weird indeed.

Good thinking. My signature updated as well.

Am I the only one who regrets the fact that posts now only refer to the poster having an “MG4”? I found the version info really helpful in connection with whatever was being discussed. O venerable Admin and Mods, for this forum anyway, might it not be possible to revert to what we had?
