What mileage have you got on yours?

lol! It won't be 100%. 🤣 That said, I don't think there is any worry over degradation on the MG batteries at all.

Someone into 3D printing needs to get on this and make a clip in version to sell.

Hah, Typical VW! It's not de-badging when done at the factory. A note on the build sheet will confirm not to apply the badging, so an operation less in the build and saves them the cost of the badges, so it should be a discount, but they charge you extra. :ROFLMAO:

I'd definitely not assume that to be the case! Many dealer staff are mediocre and can't even wash a car properly without scratching it.

Yes, Keep your keys in a faraday shielded pouch. :)

Personally if not being used at all for 5 to 6 months and assuming it's locked in a garage. I'd run it to between 40% to 50%, then disconnect the 12v battery negative. once disconnected, trickle charge the 12v for a few hours to 100%. Pump the tyres up to 50psi too, that will negate any risk of...

Not relevant to the Cyberster, but as you mentioned the 370Z (I used to have a 300ZX back in the 90's!) thought you might find this moderately interesting, it seems to be the spiritual successor to the 240Z, a car I didn't even know existed! If I could still stomach owning Petrol cars, I'd have...

We'll wait and see, but I think you continue to be optimistic! Current pricing is an act of gravity defiance and won't last. I reckon most of the GT's sticking around for sale in the £52k to £53k range will move down to £49,995 very soon and by September if most remain slow selling at that...

Only joking about being lazy, (not about the morning thing though!) maybe retired is the wrong description too as I do far from nothing. Just all that I do now, I want to, hobbies, travel, fun, rather than the stuff I didn't really want to do but had to just to earn money! ;)

Yes, born in '68. Been retired since 52 though, as unlike yourself, I'm obviously a lazy bugger! There's only ever been one 5 o'clock in my day, I'm not a morning person lol! Curious to know what it is you do that involves so much travel? (No problem if you don't want to disclose!)

I'm worrying about your quality of life more than your battery degradation, doing that mileage and starting at 3 to 5am!! Don't burn yourself out.

Good to hear. I only do a small mileage, but seriously thinking about self servicing to save the horror of dealer interaction and warranty be damned, might just get the first low mileage service done and risk it. As they say, it's the old "bathtub curve" on a graph of likely failures. If nothing...

Hi Roger, Is the rust limited to the suspension components, subframes and such, or is it on the sheet metalwork on the underbody also?

Ah... That's interesting then, was this only an advisory item? You may be the victim of a dealer money generating grift here... I've come across this before with Nissan dealers, they state the rubber bushings in the wishbones are in need of changing to generate overpriced work for themselves...
