Which I would imagine is total nonsense. LFP cells tend to lose a chunk early on then settle to a very slow degradation curve probably half as steep as NMC by all accounts. I did an absolute zero to 100% charge on my Dec 22 19k mile SE standard range a couple of weeks ago and it took a little...

It's under the bonnet. Remove the decorative trim and you'll see the end cover for the filter held by plastic clips. They're really brittle so might be an idea to heat them with a hair dryer or such or they'll probably snap....as I found out last winter.

We'll be doing just that from next year, look forward to the holes being quickly and expertly repaired from then on :p Feels like we don't get much in return for the council tax as it is though, a reasonable surface to drive on without the fear of my suspension getting torn off doesn't seem...

I think that we're all in the same situation in the UK, don't think I've seen the roads in a worse state in the decades I've lived up here. The irony is that it's the same fekking potholes year after year after year because the local council won't ( or can't ) spend the money to repair them...

Yep, I think these dealer SOH reports are a bunch of bollox personally :oops:

High pitched noise related to road speed ? Likely from the motor/inverter, I notice that it's definitely more whiney when temps are low. Pretty normal I think.

A rattle / clunk from the tailgate is common on these cars, might be worth checking that first. Wrap some electrical tape around the metal loop that the hatch latches to, also, adjusting the rubber bump stops on the side of the hatch opening can help. Getting the car up on ramps and dropping...

The paint code for the black should be 5 PBC, you'll see it on the drivers door B pillar. My 2022 car, also in black has numerous chips that have exposed the light coloured primer, bonnet, bumper, front of roof, edge of the windscreen. I think I generally keep an unusually generous distance...

I was manoeuvring in an extremely tight spot the other day, took several forward and reverse squirts to turn the car around. Remember thinking how convenient it was to use the MG's simple, well placed rotary controller and just concentrate on steering . That and the heater and radio controls on...

Yup, looks pretty much like mine. RWD EV's really should be fitted with rear drums or 2 pot calipers for more even pressure on each pad. The motor is doing the majority of the braking on the rear unless SOC is really high. The design of these SAIC produced calipers seems particularly prone to...

Very true, the rear discs start to look sad very early on, VW made a smart move with the drums on the ID 3. MOT time is when a lot of us will ripped off for new discs and pads no doubt. Stand firm and don't take the BS, especially from main dealers. As long as the disc is above minimum...

Yip, tis all about the revenue they need to generate to keep the workshops viable, getting more difficult with the increase in EVs. I stripped the rear brakes on mine over the weekend as the rear discs continue to show a really uneven contact with the outer pad. Around 40% of the outer surface...

And like every car I've owned in living memory, the steering wheel simply doesn't come down far enough for my liking. I think I might be slightly unusual in preferring the wheel low and upright, so I can comfortably rest my elbows on the armrests. I seem to see lots of people with the wheel set...

It's been utterly useless since the last update IMO, not that it was perfect before. Wouldn't work for me at all today though, as others are finding.

I bought mine mid Dec 22 and also have 15k miles on it now. Really only some surface rusting on the subframes and parts of the suspension that have a very thin coat of black paint from the factory, thick steel so no biggie . When you say that all over the underside is rusty on yours, where do...

Thanks for continuing your updates spence, very interesting. Pleased that the revised factory breather is allowing 800ml to remain in the box, hopefully it's close enough to the apparent 900ml the unit was designed to hold that it won't make any difference. Regarding the dark colour you're...

Would probably work but sounds kinda spendy. I just flattened the problematic central bulge with a bit of thin alloy plate I had lying around, had the effect of bridging the rear undertray to the battery undertray, just used the same screws and fixing points to sandwich it all together. I've...

NCAP should be made to split their tests into sections. Buyers should be able to see how the car's structure performs above all else, the nanny aids should be listed separately IMO. Yes, preventing a crash is much better than having one and hoping to survive it but I really don't think these...

IMHO the pins should definitely have rubber grease of some description on them straight from the factory. They're just going to jam horribly if not. My pad ears did in fact have a little grease on them from the factory, just not very much for my liking. The pins however were dry as chalk and...

Your car, like mine, probably has had zero lubricant on the caliper pins all round from new. My rears used to stick on and developed the same crusty ring where the pads didn't really touch Get yer pins and where the pad 'ears' rest in the caliper lubed. Should have been done in the factory but...
