    Cleaning the chrome trim.

    That line about WD40 nmade me think that the stain might not be something ON the trim but something missing from the trim: Its protective top layer (maybe eaten away by aggressive cleaners, solvent, bird poo, whatever). If this is the case, try a car wax or something like ACF-50 to see whether...

    Optimistic range estimation.

    6.8 by the e-Up! is really impressive, I love that. I never liked SUVs, they always were to me an is logical, oversize of a problem we already have. So many huge 3 ton heavy gas guzzlers with only 1 person in them. If we would have forbidden SUVs (not that I would want to live in a world that is...

    Last of the cheap EVs ?

    With the current inflation, hence devaluation of the pound, the possible trade war with EU because of the breaking up of Bozo's Ready Made Deal (so is that now "let's Brexit get undone"?), the war in Ukraine and a collapse of public services, car prices will go up much, much more than now. We...

    Optimistic range estimation.

    4.7 mike's per kWh is pretty impressive. My driving will almost always include some motorway, das A-road etc.. But so far I am extremely happy with this car. Just love it.

    Optimistic range estimation.

    Now that it is warmer, the batteries work better. But, over 290 miles is a tad optimistic I'd say 😁

    Speed Limit Sign Recognition

    As all other driving aids, the speed recognition display should only be fonan assistance, not to be relied on. It gets it wrong often enough and the driver is the one who should keep his/her eyes open enough and brain switched on to know what maximum speed is applicable. Both the Google Maps...

    Battery percentage increasing after charging

    Circumstances like temperature can change from the time you last charged or parked up. These and current use have an influence on the range estimation. We shouldn't forget that it is just an estimator of your range and not a hard fact.

    Longest motorway stint in the MG5LR?

    That's great, first time experience is always handy. I have my 5LR since February but longest journey was from near Derby to Manchester and back. That's no problem at all, I think one could do that twice. But, coming Saturday I'll go down to Deal in Kent, that's a 241 miles door to door...

    Using granny charger at holiday let

    It's just common decency/honesty or also the simple rule of life: "Don't be an a*hole!" If I was to rent out, I would appreciate if the customers are honest. After all you are paying for your stay, not for your journey back and local transport! So, not saying anything would actually be...

    Stoneacre Derby - MG Dealer Discussion, Opinions & Experiences

    Have bought my MG5 LR here in February '22. Very friendly sales team and open to making a good deal for both sides. The company is very pushy with trying to upsell extras like Diamond Brite treatment, GAP insurance, service plans etc... but it is in the end up to the customer whether they give...

    The 'Three Cars' icon

    Oh, you are definitely right there, these assistance modes are extremely dependent on the roads, where I drive most of the time, the markings are near to inexistent as they are minor roads. Actually all external factors can make them into extremely different experiences, they work better ot...

    The 'Three Cars' icon

    It's the lane assist (not lane warning, that's different). Switched on by pulling the small left stalk (the one for cruise control) twice in short succession towards you. It is different to the lane warning in so far as it will actively try to keep you in lane by providing slight steering input...

    OBD port dongle tracker and monitoring charging.

    Just as a curiosity that might be handy for some: I have a tracker from TruTrak (not affiliated but can recommend their products and services) that is simply plugged into the ODB port (above/near brake pedal). In their software it will also report the Voltage of the battery. When charging at a...

    Dead car / flat 12 volt battery 😰

    Funnily enough, a couple of years ago I saw a video of somebody with exactly the same problem as OP but with his Tesla!! At least then, the Teslas would also still have a "normal" battery for the basic functions, that could die due to lack of use and or accidentall drainage. So, even Tesla did...
