White worm! So, I think this is going to be a problem for a lot of Trophy owners going forward. My car is only 4 months old, with only 1500 miles on it so far. Since purchase it's only been washed by myself using mild car wash as and when needed, which hasn't been much obviously due to the...

Part number is 0003035105 Any MG dealer will of course sell you one, don't know the likely price though. There are a few used on ebay, but prices are high. The lowest cost on there at present is this one: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/167345557775

Man, that's as dull as ditch water, what a generic looking blob! I suppose the best you could say about it is it's inoffensive looking. Take the badges off and it could be from almost any Marque, or none.

I doubt it will cost too much new, why not just call your local dealer for a price?

Do yourself a favour and use Bilt Hamber Dynax instead, it's far superior. Lanoguard is very mediocre, just heavily promoted.

My Trophy overreads, but only very slightly, it shows 31 when doing an actual 30mph. As for our LEAF, it's hilarious, 10% overread at all speeds. I think Nissan did it on purpose so it looks like the range is better than it really is at any given (in this case fake!) speed.

That doesn't even make sense! If you want to keep the speedometer correct with taller tyres, you need to fit smaller wheels.

It's interesting to see what matters to different owners. Personally, I really couldn't care less about charging above 50kW, as I've only needed to charge when away from home about a dozen times in all the years I've had EV's and most of those times, the car had finished before I we'd finished...

The tow bar can be a big thing, if you need a tow bar, the PFL isn't an option

Tow bar rating is 500kg for the facelift car. You can't legally tow with the pre face lift car at all, as they never bothered to get it rated. Facelift car roof rails are 75kg, pre facelift, hopefully someone else will clarify as it varied, early rails weren't suitable for any weight, I think.

Good job, we need a link now to where you bought it please. :)

May indeed be better then, assuming he was OK with 3 years. When renting, I think many like the option to change cars more frequently.

Why would it matter when he's only leasing it for 2 years? If he was buying for long term ownership, sure, I'd want new too if the price difference was slight, but renting, who cares?, keep the costs down.

That's also a very low end estimate. There is virtually no wear and tear at all on a modern EV motor. The only eventual point of failure should be the shaft bearings. Similar motors used in industry have run times before failure comparable to millions of miles driven.

Yeah, I was just curious as I have a similar car.
