That sets 17 deg too. 😱

Recently used my phone app to "pre warm" the car... 2023 mg5. Ii I select demist (i expect full fan, full heat and aircon) if i just select "high" i would expect much the same directed into the passenger compartment. However, it doesn't matter what i select the car setting is always 17 deg with...

Could the park brake be dragging? Just a thought

Pull the rear seat pad up (it unclips) and you will have an almost flat loading floor. I've transported a "water rower" in mine. Front seat moved as far foward and tilted forwards. Was tight fit. For a lot more room you could remove the front passenger seat

You can buy wallets that block the signals, called a Faraday pouch, signal blocking pouch, etc. They are cheap. Also keeping your keys in a tin at home, and not near the front door will help.

Maximum advertised range for trophy (or long range) at 100% is 250. At 80% it's about 210 / 220 for me Your gom is possibly very optimistic... or you have an amazing style and get huge miles/ kWh.

Long range

My 2023 mg5 trophy... with gentle driving... but heated seats, demist aircon, lights on etc.. colder weather, 80% charge, the guessometer will say about 175 miles. That's jumped back to over 200 now it's a bit warmer.

The round control on the centre console effectively disconnects the motor when it's pressed. Using the levers for auto hold or brake keep the motor connected maintaining drive mode.

The cold weather has killed my battery range! But I'm still going to use cabin heater, aircon ( to reduce steaming up) and seat heaters (just to take the chill out the seats) the "leather" seat covers are much colder to sit on than velor type materials

So.... the charge port door "arm" has fractured. Not completely broken, but not far off. Was thinking to remove the door, lay it flat on its back and see if I can dribble superglue into the fracture..... or possibly look at replacement. Anyone got any experience removing the door arm ?

Lol. Just had my first service... the pressures were dropped to 2.0 bar all round. Very little standardisation from dealer to dealer it seems

Brand new now available for £21500.... having paid 25500 a year ago. AMAZING deal if your after one but these new deals seriously suppress the second hand price

No problem.... just shows at granny charger rate, although over night charge puts in about 100 miles @ 4miles per kWh... the actual cost is small.

OK.... offer them £5 instead
