    Next Chinese X Power Rival Incoming.

    They are apparently keeping volumes very low, so I think all bets are off with secondhand values, we will have to see.

    Windscreen wipers lifting at higher speeds

    I have them on mine, work great. I don't drive at those speeds though so I cannot attest to whether they lift or not.

    X POWER EXPERIENCE.

    Well done in joining us Whiteys! (Oops, I probably shouldn't have said it like that!). There are lots of great colours but the white is particularly lustrous.

    VED Levy WTF!!

    Flying cars? Don't talk to me about flying cars.... I was pulled under doing 260knots in a 250 at 8,000 feet just last week. "Why aren't you out catching the f-lying criminals?" I said - well, maybe I used a different f-word - now I have to do a speed awareness course! 😉

    VED Levy WTF!!

    These "you-said-the-wrong-word-gotcha" threads don't help people. Knowing about changes in price and dates and how to minimise costs is helpful.

    Collected today - bitter sweet experience

    Based on past issues, MG will get to the bottom of this and fix it. They have with everything else. However, that's not the same as saying the fix will be easily available to retrofit to earlier cars. With the oil leak, they came out with a fix that after several attempts finally fixed it for...

    Collected yesterday

    Efficiency depends on a lot of factors. If you have a gentle long distance drive on the flat in Eco mode, keeping speeds to 65 or less, you should be able to get 4m/kWh with temperatures around 15C. It doesn't report less than 2m/kWh, so be aware you can go lower than that!

    MG4 X Power Vibe/Hum 65to75mph

    I believe there is also more than one factory, so we can have problems depending on where it was made.

    The cheapest way to embarrass a supercar

    The Porsche is a nice car. Still overpriced in my view, but definitely makes a good second hand buy. I agree re: BMW, they haven't looked good for 20 years, I used to love them but it has been a deal breaker since the later Bangle era. How anyone copes with a false moustache on the front of...

    6 Month Battery SOH

    Because there are buffers built into NMC batteries at the top and bottom end (to prevent overcharging and overdischarging), these are traded off somewhat in the first couple of years as the battery ages, masking actual degradation. This is why NMC batteries have a "usable" rating separate from...

    Tesla Model 3 to X-power or Extended range

    We live on a very steep hill that takes 75% power to drive up, so I will not be testing out these low SOCs as I would run the very real risk of not being able to get home up the hill. Everywhere around is very hilly, so this kind if experimentation may be fine if you live somewhere flat but...

    Black Roof

    Early Phase 1 cars had a painted black roof, then they switched to wrapping it, then it changed again with Phase 2 and which variant got the roof.

    X Power Rival - Hot Cupra Born VZ

    I really don't get VW group pricing - and I used to be a regular customer for their cars. The new ID.7 estate is going to be £51-55k. You can have 2 MG5s for that money. What are they thinking? VW/Seat/Cupra/Skoda etc... are not upmarket badges and loyalty has its price limit.

    X Power Rival - Hot Cupra Born VZ

    322bhp and 0-60 in 5.7 is not a competitor to either the Golf R nor the XPower. It is just a warmer Born for even more money.

    Will it work (sufficient range for my situation)

    On the plus side, the commute should only take a few minutes if you do hoon it! 😉
