Yep similar to what we went through one year ago. Really sad but not surprising that MG UK haven’t changed their approach. What’s the current situation with the group action rejection - must be 6 months ago it all started?

Similar issue with Admiral for me. Was £545 last year - renewal came in at £683 despite no claims, convictions or changes. Quick run through a comparison site - Autonet+ came back with £357! Went through the cancellation of auto-renew on Admiral log-in and they immediately knocked off £100, but...

That was one theory but remains just that - all we know is the mg technical bulletin referenced a driveshaft as an excitation source (didn’t reference front or rear AFAIK). Suspect SAIC know but aren’t letting on.

At least one member on here (from Australia) has had the stage 2 fix with a complete resolution, fuelling the wildly held opinion that MG uk stated that this fix didn’t work, due to the immense labour cost associated with it.

X-Power better than the base model 3 (had one for 3 years), apart from the software and treatment from the company & dealers. Thing is Tesla don’t discount on rrp so you would be paying the full ~£37 to 39k for the Tesla. MG dealers are discounting the x-power by ~£12k from list price so I doubt...

I think it's just lazy journalism - they were obviously the cars/models they could get hold of easily and fancied a road trip. As above, i5N glaring omission - almost wonder if they were sponsored by Renault/Alpine and so didn't want to include anything that might challenge for the top...

Seems strange they didn't pick the X-Power given that most of the others in the test were the top-of-the range offerings? Probably wouldn't have changed the outcome but having driven both the ER & X-Power back-to-back, the X-Power is undoubtedly more fun.

Yes it stays.

No charge for the LKA update and I put in the correct complaints to obtain the R63 update as a warranty issue. Other Module updates wouldn’t normally be updated but master tech is a good chap and appreciates how badly MG customers get treated by MG UK, so did them as a favour. 100% shouldn’t be...

So had our first year service at Hendy Poole - £155. All went pretty well (a shocking change from the usual service here, at the service desk at least). Had pre-contacted the MG Master Tech there (top bloke) who agreed to check and update all modules, as well as install R63 and do the LKA...

Nailing each gear change perfectly?

Subtlety understated I would go as far to say :ROFLMAO:

We did - one year ago! Done 15k miles already

Agree with this - for me it's some of the flaws that give it some driving character, which in my honest opinion is missing from 99% of EVs currently available. Still chuckle when it spits me sideways on a slow damp corner and in normal mode, when the front motor kicks in properly, it's like an...

So has yours still got the gloss front lower section or the matte version that seems to be coming through on later builds? Bad luck on the vibes - it seems to vary so much from car to car. 15k miles in and oddly ours is the best it has been in terms of the characteristic’. Push dealer for new...
