A couple of months ago my satnav in my 2021 mk1 SR stopped working, would start to load then just stop. Although I use Android Auto for most journeys I like to have the built in speed limit 'nag' active. Tried all the usual resets to no avail and the local dealer didn't have any luck either...

Have used Blackshaws in the N.E for test drives, bought the car elsewhere, and servicing have found them to be efficient, helpful and friendly - but guess it depends on your local branch :cool:

I LOVE driving my EV (fourth one) on winding/hilly country roads, regen on max, hardly needing to use the brakes, no constant clutch/gear changing, plenty of torque for powering up inclines - what's not to like :cool:

I am very wary of going through deep water, though not because of any electrocution fears. A few years ago I bought a Nissan ENV200 to convert into a camper. It had been driven through deep water and unfortunately the driver could not see a large rock which had been swept off the verge, it...

That's a great improvement Les, what lamps did you replace them with in the MG5?

A word of caution. I bought a written off Nissan E-nv200 van which had been driven through a flood, no problem with the water but there was a submerged invisible rock which punctured the battery case and caused the insurance write off. Happy ending for me, I bought it after the battery had...

Charger reliability is a crucial issue, I am sure that Zap Map et al could easily produce a league table of chargers working/or not over a period of say a month, and 'name and shame' the networks that are providing a poor service, the adverse publicity, thinking Shell/BP, might shame them into...

Thought some may be interested the 13 months stats for my MG5 SR. Good to see the increase in economy fro Aug 21 to Aug 22:unsure: Mostly drive in Eco mode using kers 3 for urban, 2 for normal and 1 for motorway/fast roads. Max 60-65 on fast roads, 50-55 country roads. Having had small battery...
