I don't know about the balancing, but my understanding of the KERS is that level 3 is ineffective when you're 95% and above, as it has nowhere to go. What I find on mine is it feels like level 2 for the first 5%, then the level 3 kicks in after that. So you will always get some KERS effect, but...

Gosh how are people getting 4? I've been lucky to get above 3,currently showing 2.7 :(

MG5 Mk1 Long Range. Quite impressed with this average after a holiday in Devon, particularly at this time of year with the unhelpful weather. This included getting down there and back from the Wirral, so mostly motorway. Whilst there I often used sport mode and kers 3 for the hills around where...

I also find it's not particularly effective in eco mode, but even in normal you might have to use the rapid front screen demister switch occasionally.

Curiouser and curiouser!

It is the same guy, but the picture here is about 15 years old!

As I've mentioned earlier in this thread, I used to know him. The picture here is still him, but not a recent picture. Why he wouldn't use his Facebook picture or something more recent is beyond me.

When I first got mine in March 2022, I regularly used eco and kers3 for all journeys, my daily commute at the time was about 12 miles each way, mostly town and city with a little bit motorway. I would usually find I'd covered 200 miles when the battery got to 20%, and it showed as having 50...

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought that! I've also seen the Farcebook threads, and it's now been reported by a number of sources - however I actually used to know this guy about 15 years ago, and back then he had a reputation for bizarre and extreme tall stories. It was like he lived in...

I had this issue with my MG3, so now I plug it into the accessory socket. Dashcam powers itself off its own battery when the car is off.

Had my car since March last year, noticed my first bit of warmer weather improvement just now. Little trip out to Tesco, set off with 81% battery and 187 miles range, did an 8 mile round trip, town driving on normal mode and kers 2, got back with 82% battery and 188 miles range 👍👍👍

Hopefully not too long. I'm in a similar situation, but there's a 7kw near where I work where you can park all day, so I tend to do a slow all day charge there every so often. Still half the cost of petrol even after including parking fees. It's worth downloading an app called ZapMap if you...

Had mine from new, just realised it was one year old yesterday, so happy birthday! I had a used Kia Niro PHEV for a year beforehand to get used to the whole plugging in thing, intended to keep it longer but then trade in values worked in my favour for once. I was obsessed with range to begin...

Another update: had my 1st MG5 service here today, all very straightforward and professional, even got told to help myself to tea or coffee while I was waiting to collect it. Interestingly, they don't offer the low mileage service plan, but do offer the low mileage services individually, so I...

There seems to be about a million different things that affect range and efficiency, just something you get used to over time. Ambient temperature is a big one which you mentioned, what you're carrying, hills, weather, I could go on. I remember my first long-ish journey to North Wales, I left...

Worth trying Chorley Group in Lancashire too, I've been in a similar position but found they were offering more than most. I know they deliver if you're buying from them, so if you're not they might be persuaded to collect if necessary. Also Budgen MG in Shropshire currently state "£1000 more...

Wow well done on tracking down a Long Range Trophy! I remember trawling the nearly new ads this time last year, and basically you could get any combination of range and spec except that one, which was the one I wanted. I came close whilst looking at one particular dealer's stock, I refreshed the...

Legend!

Thanks everyone, now I can confidently experiment without worrying about getting stranded :)

Don't know if this is the same issue, but for what it's worth, I recently hired a car and found Android Auto kept dropping out. After a bit of digging I discovered it doesn't like having different cars connected in the app, removing my own car and the previous one sorted it. Then deleted the...
