    Issues with Range/Power usage

    I can appreciate, folk trying to eke out every mile, by driving in eco, keeping to 60/65 mph, AC off, heating low, etc, etc. But sorry that's not for me. Personally didn't get an EV, to drive any differently. It's a car, I drive it, as a car. Perhaps that's just me. And as always, each to there...

    XPower in the Snow

    Yep not ideal. But think most MG4 owners, know about it now. Especially if they come on here. So obviously reverse into spaces and your drive, (if possible) particularly if it's on an incline. 🙂👍

    Cars you’ve smoked ?

    New MG4 coming soon: what are your questions?

    God I hope so. With the Cyberster GTs motors, 500 bhp. Or let's go the full hog. The IM5 performance's 750 bhp motors. Now ya talkin. 😉🙂👍🤪

    Does black badge sticker removal cause damage?

    Better infotainment needed on MG4 / X power

    Better infotainment needed on MG4 / X power

    Agree, to some degree. But I've always liked owning me own, motor. Never leased a car ever, and certainly won't be starting now. Particularly as I like modding me cars, I can do what I want with them. Do agree though, cars are moving on at an alarming rate, (not always for the better) may I add...

    Agree, about closing schools down for literally the slightest thing, it's laughable. But, think it's not so much, they can't go to school of, course they could. It's the fact, the school is, shit scared of being sued for the slightest little, thing. In our sue for literally anything, world. Same...

    Cars you’ve smoked ?

    Never been smoked. Always been the 1st away. But have given up, a few times, when I can see, they are not gonna give up, and are prepared to go to silly speeds. I will usually smoke, um up to about 60, then back off. To me that's job done anyway. When I first got the X Power I was smokin, about...

    Snow Mode! What does it do?

    Which is basically common sense, 4WD or no 4WD. Just drive accordingly to the weather conditions. 🙄🤪 Pity everyone didn't.
  23. salty

    Snow Mode! What does it do?

    Snow mode engages 4WD on the X Power and reigns in the power delivery, so in theory you start off nice and gently, which is what you want in Snow. I'm presuming in RWD models it just reigns in the power. Which in most conditions will be ok. Don't think there's any Black Magic involved. 😉🙂👍

    Sport mode....

    Most very high powered Leccy car's. Don't make any sense at all. And certainly not very usable on our Camera infested roads. Still bloody nice, just to know, it's there, though. And use occasionally. 😈😉🙂👍

    New Facelift?

    Nice changes. Like the new dash, centre console and steering wheel. LED interior light. Even small changes like the Silver, window switches look good, just lifts the cabin a bit. Also the Green EV badge looks good. All in all, pretty good, don't think the exterior needed much, to be honest. Also...

    XPower in the Snow

    AWD is engaged in Sport mode and Snow mode. You get the full beans in sport mode, but the power is reigned in, in Snow mode, for obvious reasons. But neither mode works in reverse, unfortunately. You also get AWD in other modes if you floor, the acceleration, but only, temporarily. Michelin also...

    Yep, no doubt. You are technically correct. But I was out and about, and it was bloody freezing. 🥶 I did get out of the car and check them visually and the tried and tested kick the tyre test 😉 they seemed ok, so off i went. And there were no problems, did it again next day, ignored it again...

    IM 5 cracking deals

    Agree, I wasn't comparing it to the 25k I paid for my X Power, coz obviously it's a more expensive car. Can see it, dropping to 35k though. Hopefully anyway. 🙂👍

    Another "runaway" EV

    As very sad as that is. The driver is obviously gonna blame the car, he's hardly gonna admit it was his fault. The fact it was an EV, is irrelevant. That could easily have happened with an ICE. But obviously an EV makes better headlines.
  36. salty

    IM 5 cracking deals

    Yep, when I got my X Power it was 25 grand as opposed to full list of 37 grand. So 12 grand off list. The IM5 performance is already 8.5 grand off, which for such a new model, is excellent. I can definitely see it becoming even cheaper, which is great, for us. 🙂👍

    Cold weather mileage.

    Agree, don't worry about it. It's just the way it is. Unless you drive around with no heating on. Drive like Miss Daisy, Etc. You might get a tad more. That's definitely not for me. Just charge it more often. 🙂👍
  44. salty

    Lots of Warnings - Weather, or 12v battery?

    My guess is the Cold snap. I know mine's a different model (X Power) but the last couple of days, it's been saying low tyre pressure. The tyres are fine, and goes off after a while. And also the other day the EP light was flashing, which is either Electronic parking or Electronic Power steering...

    Winter Tales

    2010/2011 was pretty bad, heavy snowfall and just didn't thaw for about 5 weeks. I was gritting for the Council then. And we were out everyday, sometimes 3/4 times a day. That's the worst I've ever known. 🙄🤪

    XPower in the Snow

    Definitely reduced. Had my X Power in Snow mode, which works great. Tried to go a bit faster, on a duel carriageway, which was clear of snow. It definitely felt, pegged back. Don't get me wrong, still nippy, but nowhere near as fast. Which s'pose is the idea. 🙂👍

    Don't know what that video, proved at all. Apart from proving, that he has become a Tosser, he was good when he first started out, doing these Videos. But now think, he thinks he's more important than, the actual cars, or the actual facts. 🙄🤪

    Snow mode

    Not sure, as mines an X Power and obviously puts it into 4WD. Wouldn't think it would be as beneficial on ICE, because on snow you have at least got a bit of grip. On pure ICE, you ain't got much, if any That's my thinking, anyway

  71. salty

    Snow mode

    Think it just puts it in 4WD obviously. And deadens, throttle response. So you start off nice and easy. As opposed to 4WD in Sports mode, when you've got the full beans. Whatever it is, it seams, to work.
