£9.60 p&p? Over to Aliexpress, I think....

Are you sure? I thought that the electric+ICE gave full power - EV on it's own is roughly half.

We have an S5 and an HS PHEV. The TPMS doesn't seem that accurate on either - I put the tyres up on both cars to 37psi today, as per the manual, and the difference in ride was very noticeable and not in a good way.

It's irritating, particularly as my HS PHEV works perfectly - so MG know how to do it. I'm hoping that a future update may imrove things.

I don't remember the detail, but it seemed to be that the second user had to set up their own account, and then use the secondary account in the primaries settings. Mine just says no data, though.

I left for over three hours once. It helpfully turned the lights on when it got dark. First world problem - just lock your car.

No, I didn't use the screen - I simply forgot to lock it.

Yes, I forgot to lock ours once and it was still open and running 3 hours later. In the meantime it had become dark, so it had helpfully switched the lights on, too. As Alb says, just get into the habit of locking it - and checking it by glancing at the mirrors to confirm.

I use powerline adapters a lot in the house, and they work very well. However, this is with all units on the same consumer unit. Without knowing the way that your power is set up, it's impossible to say whether they would work in your particular situation. Is it not possible to set up a test...

My 2p-3p figures are based on the actual costs, so take into account any charging losses. Rachel's latest scam doesn't come in until (IIRC) 2028. I'd agree about the hefty depreciation, though.

So what problems have you had in your few weeks of ownership?

You're using 7p per mile as a base. Charging at home with IOG the ppm is more like 2p in summer and 3p in winter. Also, I don't understand your costs re using a taxi. You state that a taxi would cost £2.50 per mile, so surely 4000 miles at £2.50 would be £10,000.

I can't connect to either of our cars, so agree that the servers seem to be the likely problem.

Although I have the systems turned off, we've had error messages about this and other camera related aspects on cold mornings. I suspect condensation somewhere, as once it's warmed up or we're in sunlight it all goes back to normal.

I've never noticed any stability problems. It's a bit more susceptible than lower cars, but not by much - certainly nothing to worry about.
