Not that I'm aware of

Yes it happens occasionally, usually for a few days then it behaves itself for a few weeks. Similar things happen with the traffic sign recognition, sometimes it is off when I start but kicks in after a few miles other times it will stay off for a day or so.

@Rolfe had a similar stealership issues, she had an independent check and chose move dealer.

We have a 71 plate eNiro as well as my trophy, the Kia went in recently to have the BMS wiring harness fixed and they gave us a 25 plate Niro4 which we had for a week and did 400 miles in. This had its own software quirks, odd unrelated error/warning messages, interior build quality was better...

We had the same thing recently with our eNiro, it dropped out after a few miles (narrow country lane with zero places to stop safely) and last week our nephew to ask called if I had a jack so he could get the wheel off his Volvo, turn out he had a piece of flint wedged between the disk and back...

I bought my MG from Brandon (while they still were a main dealer), had 2 services done there so far. Sensible prices at £96 and £163 for my MG4, left the car and had breakfast at the centre cafe, picked the car up after a short walk. they took a bit of chasing to get a warranty repair done, but...

I must admit it was one of the things that put me off the idea of a hybrid when I went BEV.

I've been using an Einhell 36v one for a few months, not self propelled though. came with 2 batteries and chargers. If the grass is short it runs at low speed but ups the power for longer stuff. It's very light to push around or lift onto a bank in my case.

I used Wetherby in both directions, on my Scotland trip, not cheap but plenty available and my car was refuelled before I was. Typical motorway services not the best, but not the worst either.

I didn't quite manage a profit from FiT, but net electricity cost was +£28 for the same period

Hopefully the 'P' button will have a software interlock, otherwise inserting the pawl will probably destroy the gearbox. Of course that's if you trust the software!

I think what surprised me was that they are not XL rated or perhaps 98 load rated, the car is a fair bit heavier than the MG4.

Curiously our 71 plate Niro EV just specs. 94W, it still has the original Michelin Primacy3 on the rears with newer Primacy$s on the front.

Similar to @tsedge 2 odd years ago I thought I needed the range, heated seats and steering wheel but my longest frequent trips are about to the coast, around 40 miles each way. I do the odd 170 mile round trip to ski at Snozone, but there enough chargers around if needed. I did want an...

We only have 1 ICE car left, the old Jazz tip car, great for fishing gear, horse feed and bedding. Fully intended to replace it with an electric van by now, but it only does around 3k miles costs peanuts to insure and run and the £345 van tax wipes out any fuel savings. Quite fancy a classic car...
