That's 3.91 miles/kWh ... pretty good for an average speed of about 56 mph. What was the ambient temperature?

"Give me your clothes, your motorcycle, and your forum clicks"

You have :) Your problem will be the numpties who vote for Question 2 ;)

It's one of the downsides of the Similar Threads section at the bottom. ;)

A poll can only have One question ... unless there's an option to allow multiple selections. :)

The one with the personalised VRM can't park. ;)

I get that message when I fire up my VPN, but otherwise it works as expected.

It wasn't only produced then, but that's when it was introduced. i.e. the XPower and ER came out at the same time, near enough. :)

I'm only going by the anecdotal info I recall seeing here. 🤷‍♂️

Do 65 rather than 75 and it'll take you about 2.5 minutes longer for those 21 miles. However your consumption (efficiency) will noticeably improve.

Thanks ;)

I'm not 100% sure, but ... do you need to be in the READY state to knock it out of P?

You can't :)

I guess you mean 77 kWh battery? (I thought the XPower already had the same rear motor as used in the ER).

I followed that link and tried a quote - it gave me this: When I got my 3rd service/first MOT I asked the (same) dealer for their service plan pricing ... they quoted £789 for a 4 year service plan, ~£100 less than the above 3 year plan. 🤷‍♂️ The only caveat is that they are payment in full...

Something that certain ZS EVs and MG5s need to be able to use Tesla open-to-all sites.

Who is King Dom?

The app updated today when I checked for updates in Google Play Store. I've not noticed anything different yet though.

That first photo probably wins the 3x MG4s challenge. :)

The Continental Premium Contacts on the MG4 (from factory) are the Chinese variant, not the EU made variant ... the relative performance is notably different, apparently. (i.e. the EU ones are much better).

I suppose it's a matter of perspective. :)

Tonight we shall be having homemade haddock fillet, coated with egg and Ruskoline and then shallow fried. With peas and homemade chips. 😎 (It'll be my birthday dinner). :)

For ZS EV specific answers you might be better posting in the ZS EV board ... this thread is in the MG4 board. :)

I assume @haloweenhamster means use an older version of the SIPS software?

The description is also wrong ... HAL are each 1 letter behind IBM. ;)

See this thread. :)

The requirement is for the brake light to come on when the rate of deceleration exceeds 1.3m/s2. In the MG4 this is around the 7 or 8% regen mark. Regen levels 2 and 3 will make the brake light come on (provided that the battery isn't full, as will Regen A, usually), but Regen 1 will not as that...

What Car did a comparison recently of the new Standard model versus the higher spec models. Their conclusion was that (especially if buying on PCP or leasing) that the extra £7k or so for the next higher spec version was better value. Edit: sorry - it was the Model Y, but I'd imagine that...

He wants control of Greenland (owned by Denmark) for "National Security" reasons ... the fact that there's oil and minerals galore there doesn't come into it. 🙄

Nobody knows what the "Low SoC Threshold" is ... well, MG China probably know, but they've not told anyone else. Try doing the same test with the car's SoC at around 60% (i.e. above 50%).

Bali is belly. We all have one on our bodies. Can be Inny or Outy :)

Slow charging is known about in cold temperatures - often referred to as Cold Gating. But failure to charge, not so much.

Bali you say? Did you see any Bali buttons? 😈

Mine works OK at low temperatures. No idea what overall charge rate I get as I simply plug in and forget about it until the charge point app notifies me (on my phone) that it has finished charging, but it does charge my car. So my view would be that it is FUD. What EVSE units do they have...

The only disadvantage is that you seem to lose the sliding cover storage area - something I tend to use.

Pressing the accelerator still overrides AEB? 🤷‍♂️

A bit of both ... most of my work though was in air-conditioned equipment rooms (ERs). :) Working in the turbine halls and other indoor areas was worse than outside though ... outside was 56°C and dry; inside was 42°C and very humid. (ERs were 22°C and very nice). ;)

I don't think any YouTuber has ever influenced me. The tag seems a bit of a misnomer to me. :)

Terry might say you're very ...... ;)

There's a thread about this already in General Chat. 👍

R40 is insufficient information ... what's the rest of the software revision?

How long did it take to reach 80%? Trying to reach 100% on a DC charger is pointless - the last 10% tends to take as long as the 10-80%.

50.7°C? Pah! When I was working in Iraq I experienced 56°C. 😎

Yes, but which SE? (There are 2 variants ... SR = 51kWh LFP, and LR = 64kWh NMC). The charging curves are very different between the 2. :)

Unless you'd preheated the battery then I can understand you only getting a charging speed of 45kW (assuming you have the 51kWh LFP SE SR, as do I).

This was the day ERO came home, in November 2022:

This is their YouTube "advert":

The mother said "I don’t recall any engine sounds or revving" ..............

V2L in the MG4 is expecting to be connected to a double-insulated appliance/device (think hairdryer, kettle, TV etc.) ... I've no idea what an "electric UTV" is so I can't comment regarding the "ungrounded" message, sorry.

My old English teacher's favourite was from Star Trek ... To boldly go ... oh no, says she ... the correct form is To go boldly. 😎

Cabin noises are strange - because of the enclosed space the noise can seem like it's coming from one area but is actually from elsewhere. A classic case is dashboard rattles actually being because of sunglasses in the roof glasses holder. :)

It could be the quarter light ... the small piece of window in front of the driver's side window. That was an issue with some cars. Try putting some strong tape around all the edges of that window and see if that kills or reduces the noise - if it does then the window needs removed and resealed.

I thought that was an expression describing someone with constipation? :D Here I sit broken-hearted Strained and strained yet only farted :)

So a sexist is someone who practices sexism? And the term is never used to describe someone's attitude? ;) (The general someone, not you specifically) :)

Don't be sexist genderist ;)

Ah ... that totally uninformative section; the one where the "low SOC" isn't defined. 🤦‍♂️

Where is the Intelligent Battery Charging option? Or is this something the MGS5 offers that the MG4 doesn't?

I'm disappointed ... there's still no Forum Janitor rank. :(

I remember winter 81/82 ... my Dad was the Transport and Cleansing Inspector for the local council, so was responsible for managing bin collections and road clearing/gritting. I remember that winter he went to work on a Wednesday morning, and got back home at Friday dinner time, having worked...

-7°C up here according to the bus temperature gauge Very cold hands trying to defrost the bus before collecting school kids Brrr Brrr Brrr

Ah yes ... the ABE brigade. :D However, I think @Ian Key was referring to the regions of England (bolded just for you ;)), and the local rivalries therein. The unity at a national level comes at an English national level. :) It's much the same here up in Jockland. :p

Bold, and Italics, and also Underline. :) (Plus many other talents) ;)

You shouldn't have needed to pay for the ACC update ... I didn't.

No ... that was Bjorn's test of a Trophy 64kWh NMC car, in Norway. I'm thinking about one of our Malaysian/Thai forum members who was part of a team that did a similar test in their own Far East country. :)

That doesn't bode well ... the LKA issue is well-documented, there are loads of YouTube videos where this is mentioned. The service campaign update is called SC077 and entails updates to the FDR (Forward Detection Radar) and FVCM (Forward View Camera Module) ... the 2 key sensors used to...

I recall that someone did this in Malaysia/Thailand ... they have a 51kWh LFP Trophy spec version over there that they did this test on. I think the results are in a forum post here somewhere.

What did R40 add vs R38, do you know?

These are the latest for the SE SR (Standard) - at least for the earlier models: It's the SWI part that's important though ... the newer cars will likely be on the SWI131 or similar software branch, in which case the Rxx number may well be different. (I don't know that the latest is for the...

There are loads of threads on this. :) I have this one and it works great - simply do the firmware update (if needed) then set a start-up delay of 30s.

I used to get a lift to primary school on the back of a milk float :)

I have the vGate iCar Pro 2S from AliExpress ... works fine with my MG4. :) (See post #2)

No snow here White stuff though Stuff called frost :) :) :)

Holy Thread Necromancy, Batman! ;)

Pedant :p
