Pete - If you charge from home and have a home energy monitor, you can witness the activity on the screen. When the car starts charging, it will display about 7 kw’s. As the car reaches around 95% charged, this will drop back to 3.5 kws and then at around 98-98% it will drop again to 900 ish...

That SOH does sound a little low. Do you have the standard range or the long range version ?. What is your predicted range after a charge to 80% and both trips reset, if you don’t mind sharing ?. I am just curious that’s all 🤨.

Given the distance, it is likely that parts are not shipped by demand daily either tbh. If the parts are coming from China then they maybe sending only once a week, once every two weeks or even once a month !. There is likely to be a “cut off point” also, if you just missed the “cut off” then...

I watched EVM’s video a couple of hours ago and then went through some of the comments, left below the review by viewers. Of course like most things in life, there was some positive and some negative comments. But what caught my attention is when somebody had remarked in the comments, that the...

Just ensure that you are fully latching the drivers door closed, then ideally fit your seat belt, then depress the foot brake fully, before you even touch the gear selector switch to select drive. If you turn the gear selector wheel even a split second before you have followed the previous steps...

You only require a small capacity booster for a EV tbh. But if you have a second car or friends & family members, that have ICE powered cars, you may consider it a good idea to chose a booster that can help others 👍.

This is normal for MG at least. It’s a long winded process. They have to be authorised by MG CS to carry out their investigations, or they run the risk of not getting paid for the time. If they need help in diagnosing the issue, they have to raise a ticket and then upload there findings of the...

Common pattern forming here me thinks 🤷🏻. Sounds like they have had a bad batch of faulty T boxes to me !. Which does confirm that even new cars can have parts failures then 😭.

Update :- Used the car today for only a short journey, but I noticed that when entering a 60 and 70 Mph zones the correct speed limit ⭕️ numbers have returned and the three vertical dashes have gone. I followed your top tip and just started up the never used Sat Nav unit 👍. Thanks 🙏.

It’s standard practice for a good painter tbh. It’s a small area of damage, but to blend the colour into the qtr and make the repair impossible to spot, it’s a job that takes a bit of time and skill to get 100% correct. It’s a metallic finish, which just makes colour matching a bit more difficult.

Ouch !. Doing that would make me feel sick 🤢. It’s the rear wheel arch, which means the colour will have to be blended into the rear quarter panel of course.

Maybe omit them from the build sheet and put some nice bedding planets in each corner 🤷🏻🤣.

The last distinct marque badges used by British Leyland (BL) disappeared with the Morris Ital in 1984, but the overarching Austin Rover Group continued using badges like Rover, Austin (on the Metro/100 Series until 1997), and MG, with the very last cars wearing the core BL badges being the MG...

Thanks - I will give it a go 👍. I have not used the Sat Nav on this car as of yet. So, just booted up the Sat Nav for the very first time and I can see a 20 Mph sign in the bottom R/H corner of the centre screen, when I backed off the driveway. Which does correctly suit / match the speed limit...

Our S5 has suddenly started misbehaving with regards to speed sign recognition. I have the warning turned on, because of the large amount of 20Mph speed limit restrictions in Wales. Last week we had been travelling through a 20Mph limit and it was correctly showing the 20Mph symbol in the...
