Definitely a coffee tax then! Won't be rushing to purchase any new vehicles from them in the future although they do have a very large empire.

I've had to spend so much time there with various warranty issues that I should have my own chair! Off there again in 2 weeks for an alarm that randomly goes off (mainly at night) and our 2nd replacement door handle due to switch failure. Maybe it's because I drink so much of their coffee each...

No my £165 was the same dealer that Chris has been offered at £127! I'm obviously a valued customer....

That's a good price - they rushed me £165 for our first service back in March!

Yes on both accounts - the XP is always scrabbling for grip when under full acceleration so they should improve standing starts noticeably, particularly once warmed up and traction when accelerating out of slower corners. They will impact range to some degree as there will be more friction to...

Above advice still stands - often wet there. If you can get heat into them, then that will help but still think they’ll be too much for the standard suspension - traction will be much improved though. Have they got chargers there now?

Standard XP suspension is way too soft for semi-slicks, for the extra grip they provide in the dry. In the wet, they are generally terrible at clearing standing water so could be borderline dangerous in these conditions. I have a set of semi slicks (Toyo R888r) for the Elise that I only tend...

Not aimed at anyone in particular but wanted to assure forum members that our car never unnecessarily clogs up our dealer workshops. The only time it has updates is along side a physical warranty issue (brake module failure, both door handle switches failing at different times - that sort of...

Yes thanks to this forum, every time our car is back in the garage (which is, to be frank, far more than it should be be), I put the complaint buzzwords which enable the dealer is able to update through the warranty route. This isn’t right though - if I wasn’t on this forum and so didn’t know...

Had ours coated with a Gtechniq ceramic coating professionally - no change to the finish.

Yeah, there would a queue of people wanting this - I’d certainly be in!

Depends what version you are currently on. It basically fixes the climate control temperature from R59.

Yeah hope not! lol. Only thing our dealer really got right was the collection day and time! The rest was basically downhill (mainly due to MG UK granted)

I think it's hard to gauge the ratio. Personally I've driven 3 X-Powers (one of which was my own) - 2 two had the vibrations and one was perfect. Also it seems that some cars suffer worse than others (there are videos of cars with the whole dash & rear view mirror shaking violently). The...

Agree. I think there are only around 1500 X-Powers registered in the UK so we are a very minor annoyance at best. Growth despite the MG4 being rated as the most unreliable new car of 2024! Guess the other models must all fare much better.
