Yeah, the M/KwH display is your friend here. . What are you getting at the moment? As for reducing it, the same rules apply as trying to improve your MPG in an ICE car. Basically, slower, safer and more sensible driving. Leave enough distance to avoid unnecessary/harsh braking, Gentler...

General advice on here (and in the manual) is that it should be charged to 100% at least once a month to allow the cells to balance. Bear in mind that there is some headroom already and the battery management system handles that. Although your dashboard might say '100%', that doesn't...

Things that are in the news are things that happen rarely enough to be newsworthy. (or fit an agenda...) You'll notice there's not a lot of focus in the news on the car that started the fire in Luton Airport as it wasn't electric... I remember watching a comparison (might have been top gear)...

Same here. Only had it a couple of times in 2 years, and also believed it to be signal-related. If you give it 5 minutes (and maybe move a bit...) you'll see the little lite on the e-call thing go green and the message will disappear from the alerts section on the dash.

Hi all. Late to the party, but I have a pre-FL 5LR. I fitted a Viofo front and rear dashcam and that has no impact on the LKA / ACC functions for me. The rear camera does affect DAB reception though, and I've seen other posts suggesting that's the same for others. It's not that it's stuck...

Yeah, I raised this with the garage not long after I got my 5 (LR Exclusive pre-facelift) back in September '21. Their (Chorely MG) demo model did the same thing. I assumed this would eventually get back to MG and be fixed in a software update at the service. Clearly not... Not only does it not...

I'm Pre-facelift 5LR Exclusive (bought sept '21) with the KERS update (and the intelligent speed assist that crashes when it sees a 20MPH sign). Battery heater switches back off after a second or so. (after trying this morning). Pretty sure it didn't do that when the car was new. Bear in mind...

My understanding was that the 'Battery heater ALWAYS on' setting was basically an option between being always on, and being automatic (i.e. it'll heat the battery anyway if you're on a rapid charger and it's cold). Can't find what documentation led me to that though., and can't spot anything in...

Could be wrong, but I think that went away when they did the KERS brake light update. it doesn't DO KERS 3 when full, but lets you switch to that mode now and it kicks in as the battery drops a bit.

in and out. (low mileage service). No updates outstanding, AA renewed.

Yeah, I'm talking UK specs. Didn't notice you were on the continent. are you in the new shape too then?

but late to the party here, but for my last camping trip (last October) with a full car, roofbox (5LR so loaded up!) cool weather and wet roads I got about 3.2m/kwh keeping to 60 on the motorways. Also - there's a lot of chat on here about the roof rail saga, but I notice OP has the excite...

Check the CC stalk. I fell for that with the test drive model and it took me and the sales guy a short while to figure that out. Push the CC stalk right back so that Cruise Control is completely off. It won't let you activate the speed assist function when the stalk is in the cruise control...

Just press 'OK' to dismiss the messages, then the up/down works as normal.

Type? Mine is listed as EP22 on the V5C. Is that the same as the standard range?

I have a 5LR and a hypervolt. I believe the car tells the charger how much power to provide, not the other way round. I haven't really seen it obviously spend time doing a balance charge (other than the rate dropping for the last 15 nimute slot). I haven't sat and watched the display either. I...

Are you sure? I would have thought that the power being delivered to the rapid charger is still generally AC (unless it's coming from another battery, and even then I'd put a fiver on it being converted to AC and back again). The AC/DC conversion is just done in the charger instead of the car...

Hi 1) As above, I'm on go faster. I chose to take 3 hours at a slightly lower rate. When I signed up it was 3h at 4.5p, 4h at 5p or 5h at 5.5p per kwh. 2) I have a hypervolt and can schedule the charge on that. Before that I used the granny charger and an Ikea TRADFRI smart plug (rated high...

only real world distance test for the 5LR I have is a camping trip to Dumfries. Boot and 2 back seats filled to the roof, 2 adults and a teenager, and a roofbox on the top. mostly M6 at 60MPHish (on ACC). temp around 10-15c, and dry. 170 mile trip with a realistic 30 miles left on the GOM...

Hah! What year is it again? I think I lost a couple recently...
