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

Base it on 3kWh per hour charge. If you charge over night... say 8 hours.... that's 3*8* unit cost. So if the unit cost was 25 pence you would take £6 of electricity

If I remotely set mine to say 23 deg... it's lovely and warm when I get in. Never had any issues seeing the temp, heating or cooling. Works a treat. I suggest get the dealer to check yours out.

In a nutshell, the quicker your acceleration and the quicker your deceleration... and the harder you corner... the quicker your tyres wear down.

Drive it. They all should rapidly clear themselves

I use a granny charger at home (13amp plug) Mine starts charging pretty much instantly. Usually starts quickly on 7kw charges... Might depend on your charger settings? Car battery state etc
