Your choice of course, as to customers turning there backs on MG I’m not so sure as their vehicles are everywhere I go so they appear to be selling a lot of them to me. Les.

6 ft 1.8 m can’t remember what the under leg support was like to be honest. Les

Yes, it was the Trophy and I did do around 80 miles each way. I'm pleased you found it ok. maybe just me then; front seats fine, rear not for me. Les

Hi I have recently done a 160 mile round trip in an MGS5 in the rear seat and I can honestly say it was not very comfortable; let me explain. The day before doing this journey I had driven the car for only a short distance and that was ok ish, then I travelled around 7-8 miles in the front...

I’m sorry guys to the best of my knowledge only Tesla vehicles can use Tesla only SC full stop. The MG4 all models could always use Tesla open to all as can all current models, the problems where confined to the MGZS EV And the MG5 no other full BEV models from MG have been affected. Les

No MG and as far as I know any other make will not work on Tesla only charge points, these are exclusive to Tesla cars, but the open to all Tesla SC will work with many makes including MG that have the correct equipment installed and are up to date. Les

Ok I stand corrected but that was the information I was given today by the MG sales person so appears there as been an amendment to the budget statement apologies if I have misunderstood or misled anyone. Les.

Hi I to took a look at an S6 today very nice indeed but having read comments here above in this thread about the luxury car VED my understanding of this is after the recent budget if I was to take delivery of this car before 1 April 2026 it would be liable for the luxury tax from its 2nd to...

I agree with Gomev above here some of the problems is the back up from MG UK example being the Tesla SC updates around 18 months ago these for a very short time where to be done free of charge and MG uk where to pick up any bill and indeed my 5 FL 2022 was done free of charge by Chorley MG who...

Now that with the light interior trim is just what might interest me. Not sure what extra the light trim puts on the price. Les

Yes Normal, level 2 regen at start up Les.

The only time I ever use regen 3 is when I know Im going to have to stop tariff lights etc so I’m normally in E or N with regen1 but constantly using that little toddle switch next to the drive selector to change regen from 1,2 or3 depending on the road ahead. Thats my way and that works fine...

Now now boys settle down !!! I’m waiting for a comparison test between some of the above mentioned and the MGS6 which I think will win hands down in every category except of course price. Les

No I don’t believe you have and I have read before you are able to change vehicles when using Ohme chargers and that this is what Octopus fit if you purchase from them Great But on other brands you can only register one vehicle to OIG which is again stupid my MG5 is registered to my IG account...

Hi Tom you might be wrong there please watch the whole of this video below where it specifically tells you not to set any charging schedules this is part of the T&Cs from Octopus.

Hi Rolfe, I agree with you that the octopus igo is very annoying in the way they keep changing the times for the charge sessions but in my understanding of igo and its T&Cs the charger ( in this case the Zappi for you and myself ) and the vehicle you are to charge, must not have timers set in...
