I saw a rare sight today at my local Sainsbury’s today. A white SE (like my last one), a red Trophy and my X power, all parked with about 4 spaces from each other. Started chucking it down so didn’t get a photo. I do like that the X Power is such a rare car. I’ve only seen 3 others on the road...

That’s true.

I think there is a poll about it on here somewhere and more had it than not. It’s started making into reviews (skip to about 4:20 when they get to the x power).

As @salty says. On a 23 plate if it’s okay now it’s unlikely to develop.

It was brand new so didn’t get to test drive the one I actually bought. If it’s like mine is now and you are used to a hybrid then it’s probably not going to bother you at all. The vibration is no worse than the sensation of an engine running.

Mine was a bit like driving over a cattle grid, you could feel it through the floor (it made my calf muscles feel weird and my fingers almost numb), the seat, steering wheel and the whole car would shake. If there was nobody in the passenger seat you could see that shaking. They had it back for...

It’s more likely to have it than not and how bad it is or how much it will bother you seems to vary. I think it’s worth test driving it to find out if it’s one that doesn’t do it or it’s subtle. Definitely don’t buy it without test driving it. I’ve got a 25 and it has it so it’s a lottery no...

Another thing to consider is charge losses. The Ohme is putting AC into the car but the car is converting it to DC to charge the battery. As a rough rule of thumb, there is a 10% loss in the conversion. Ohme / Octopus seems to gotten rather good at accounting for this and now seems to add extra...

I found that too but managed to get through it. The gist of it is he has dropped legal proceedings under the advice of the ombudsmen (as it complicates things). They have upheld his claim and said he should be given his full deposit back (£7500), be given half the monthly payments he has made...

I believe that’s how the document that states it’s a fault and what the super expensive fix is (was) got leaked. But unless my car was built using stuff from an old parts bin (quite possible as it’s got the wrong lower trim) then it doesn’t always work anyway.

I don’t think there is one. Mine was built in July last year after date the stage 2 fix is supposed to be applied at the factory. I bought it new in March this year. The vehicle off-line breakpoint was 21/2/2024. It’s got the vibes.

Yeah, I’d of thought so. I’m trying to think of a reason why they wouldn’t just do that. How on earth can they not have worked it out themselves and done something about it, like get whoever makes them do better QA checks. I think I’ve read (but not sure) some of the LR versions do it which...

What don’t get is the independent inspection said the driveshafts are out of balance. Surely they can fix it by fitting ones that are in balance rather than trying to mask it, even with the stage 2 fix.

Mine has been doing this too. Plays for a couple of minutes and pauses. If I change stations it works again. Started using FM instead or internet radio via CarPlay

Hope it looks better in the metal than the pictures. Although I’m very unlikely to buy an MG again anyway after my after sales experience with them over the XPower vibes issue. Once bitten and all that!
