Mine went metric despite settings saying it was imperial. Restarting the app fixed that.

Unless they are being ripped off? Have they suggested the carburettor yet? :D

Was already there...called a garage! As a bonus will also keep the car dry if only it wasn't full of shite!

Well done! That shows that speed is a factor in efficiency. If you can do it again in normal mode you should see the same efficiency :D

and if you could; imagine all the posts and dealer visits there'd be about the heater not working properly!🙄

Should point out that this was originally from this thread, for context, in answer to; "Just collected my car and I notice it will always start in Normal electric mode. I want to set it to always start in Eco mode. Can someone advise how to do this.".

Confused me there when you said OP; hadn't realised that the Mods must've split this out! I think that too many people see eco button and start using it especially when they see that the range on the GOM has gone up and think that something magic has happened and they're getting free range. The...

Exactly, if everything is the same then efficiency is the same so eco, normal or sport make diddly squat difference to efficiency.

So using your definition of efficiency a 7kW home charger is more efficient than a 50 kW rapid charger because it has less current and power in a given time? Efficiency killer is speed and the eco button doesn't determine speed; your right foot does. Driving at x mph will consume the same...

That's a really good point. Perhaps it should be labelled snow mode? Although the reduction to the heating system would be bad:unsure:

It doesn't make it more efficient otherwise it would be on all the time because that would be worth something. It does make it harder to be inefficient but ultimately does nothing you can't do in normal mode.

For the clueless it's a magic button that increases the range of the car rather than estimated range. Maybe of worth if you had really bad motor control in your right leg but if it was that bad then you probably shouldn't be driving.

Eco is a lie just keep it in normal and forget eco's there.

You'd've been eligible for the £2500 grant in November, but that ended in December. As stated above you should've been told then. I ordered 10th December which would've got the grant but was informed just before christmas that the order hadn't been placed by 15th so missed the grant. Was annoyed...

I think you've been stitched up but doubt that pushing back will get you anywhere dependent upon what the smallprint states between you and vanarama. If they had ordered with MG when you ordered then the grant would've been applied for then. If the order had gone through to MG when you ordered...

Gridserve are supposed to be updating their chargers to support dual charging but it's been a bit slow I think. Just try it.
