    Yeah but I think I still had the prior version believe it or not lol.

    Xpower carted off the field

    Got the car back yesterday, it appears all they did was update the software to R40. No mechanic present when I picked it up and I didn't have time to wait unfortunately. So far so good in the few km driven since, but definitely not as confident thrashing it alone, or even just putting along...

    Xpower carted off the field

    Wow I missed your post too. Yes I meant EPS. Thank you for sharing. No word from them yet today, but it sounds like electronic/software gremlins - nothing physical to fix. The manual stated to immediately call MG assistance so that's what I did, I wouldn't have felt comfortable just...

    Xpower carted off the field

    Thank you sir, good find...my cursory search didn't come back with anything. I'm hopeful it won't be out of commission longer than it takes me to use the tank of gas my rental comes with! As a side note, been inactive for a while and sorry to see the main players here have soured on the...

    Xpower carted off the field

    Was pulling out of my street today when the power steering went out and a bell rang, and the red flashing ESP EPS light came on. Muscled it back into my parking area and called MG roadside. To their credit a flatbed was here within 35 minutes. Rental available tomorrow. Hopefully it's...

    Help Please MG4 Xpower (paintwork issue)

    I have a black Xpower as well, lower mileage however (~4k). I don't have stone chips per se (since last weekend anyway), but I have noticed that it seems that the (black?) paint is relatively fragile. I'm cautious about it and still have a few large imperfections, one on the edge of the hood...

    MG X Power

    Good thinking, but I think I read that the Trophy one isn't compatible with the Xpower unfortunately.

    Tesla Model 3 to X-power or Extended range

    It was a question, because I honestly couldn't tell. Mentioning possibly driving at 71 in a 70 is not in any way, shape or form encouraging unlawful activity. Perhaps the role of the moderators should be reviewed and modified from the below to whatever the above is called. Some might call...

    Tesla Model 3 to X-power or Extended range

    Is this a serious response ? Someone mentioning they may have possibly exceeded the posted speed limit by 1mph is encouraging readers to break the speed limits ?

    MG X Power

    I saw on a FB group that a guy in Australia had a few smaller front sway bars made for his XP and is testing them, but I haven't seen any updates in a bit. His initial feeling was while it increased body roll, the car actually cornered and drove better. Went from a 32 mm front bar to 24...

    MG X Power

    TBF, I've been gentle with mine and I still have a fair amount of superficial scratches on the plexiglass as well (also on the panel behind the rear windows). It just seems hyper fragile. Having said that, I wouldn't accept it on a new car either. Haven't seen any condensation inside the...

    What have you bought for your Xpower this week ?

    Ha yea just wanted to cover the plate a bit before sharing, but didn't realize it was still transparent until after I posted...but I think I'll be alright. Def not looking to disassemble the rear light unit! Just want to dip that black as well, but since the badge is inside, I need to either...

    What have you bought for your Xpower this week ?

    My 2 cents thus far: front and rear fitted floor mats, trunk mat (floor only), center console storage insert, tempered glass screen protector, protective film for the shiny black interior plastic (not yet installed) and mud flaps. In the cart - hood struts, led interior magnetic lights for the...

    MG4 X Power Vibe/Hum 65 to 75mph

    Also in a LHD for 1 month / 1k km and while I do sense something, it's not as flagrant as others experience. I'm in a French Xpower group on FB and there seems to be (unscientifically) a similar number of owners there who complain of serious vibration issues, and many are vocally advocating...

    Break-in period on the Xpower?

    Yea I don't plan to make it a regular thing at all, BUT I do want to make sure it works ? From what I've just read elsewhere, it doesn't seem necessary for EVs with respect to the battery and motor(s). So I'll take my chances with premature wear of the tires (likely to be changed well before...
