Acknowledging something internally is different to acknowledging publically and because this is unlikely a safety issue there is unlikely to be significant external regulatory pressure on MG to retrofit vehicles so I reckon it will be down to the calculation in MG's head of cost of retrofitting...

Look in your paperwork to see if you have the factory certificate of conformity. The manufacturing date is on there.

Here are mine for comparison (mine manufactured November 2023, registered April 2024)

From what I've just discovered, a vehicle ordered and registered in the UK in 2024 may have actually been manufactured several months earlier. If the fix was introduced October 2023 in the manufacturing process it's not inconceivable that a 2024 registered vehicle still has the issue when you...

But compared to a Volvo that's on a platform that's been developed and redeveloped over 20-30 years it possibly will feel less refined. In terms of developing handling characteristics of an electric performance car, manufacturers are still learning in terms of how to handle aspects such as...

My take on the X-power's handling: I actually think it is very capable. The problem with the reviews of the X-power are for me that motor press tend to devide their staff up into categories and the Xpower tends to get reviewed by: EV focused reviewers that can't drive performance cars and tend...

What he's referring to is that I will get in my Xpower to go to the Tesco 10 minutes walk away to pick up milk just for the mood lift I get from pulling out of my drive and being able to hit the speed limit quicker that you can mutter the words "holy ^&*%"

My sticker had a hand signature over it rather than a date stamp. I imagine this is just a method of the factory quality controllers keeping track of which of the thousands of MG4s in the lot they've actually checked and some use the stamp. My guy clearly couldn't be arsed with all that and...

Excellent. Well clearly nothing so far so looks like whatever the fix was it is effective.

Yep, the £18 was with the discount applied

The sticker doesn't have any.date on mine. But I pulled the factory sign-off out and the manufacture date was 16/11/2023. So I'm assuming they had my car in a lot in China already when my order was placed.

It was ordered February 2024 and it was registered 3rd April 2024. So manufactured between those dates. I have a SAIC factory quality sign off from the factory somewhere so I can probably be more precise with when it left the factory if you need me to be.

I can't comment on the Trophy LR but I don't find range to be a problem in the X-Power at all. Illustrating the point I took the family up to Edinburgh from Bradford recently. Full charge on set-off, drove in eco. Car said on leaving i had 245 miles of range. Got to Washington services at...

So I've hopefully snuck in there after they've re-engineered the problem out? Fingers ?

I got my car delivered at the beginning of April this year and in all the motorway/dual carriageway driving I've done (which has included a near 500 mile round trip from Bradford to Edinburgh on the A1/A1M), I've never experienced this issue. Am I simply lucky or does it materialise later on?
