Not to mention the car battery to start the computer system up (or not, if it has gone flat!) before the car will even work ……… 🤣

As DixieTGS stated above, the parking button on the dial puts the car in park and disengages the accelerator, a bit like putting the handbrake on and going into neutral on a manual ICE car. I use the lever to the right of the dial at traffic lights and at busy junctions so that I do not blind...

My speed limiter does not seem to do anything even when it sees a speed sign, it still lets me just do any speed 🤣. The manual speed limiter setting can be changed in 1mph/kph increments if you push and hold the joystick up or down instead of flicking it. Despite this, it is still useless…..

If you use your 2 favourites buttons to program in regen strength on one and drive mode on the other, it will be quicker to select what you want, rather than going through the whole menu on the screen, although still a nuisance having to reset. I use the auto cruise control (because my speed...

We have a Zappi tethered charger and it has been great. It has an app so you can track it on your phone to see how much energy it is drawing in to the car, stop the charging or change to eco mode etc. It has various menus to see how much electric you’ve used, how much renewable energy you’ve...

When I had to use the mechanical key, I found there was little leverage to turn it and it was digging into my fingers. I used a micro fibre cloth I had handy to wrap around it and it worked fine. A small bulldog clip or similar might get to get a grip on the key 😊.

Everything resets, So I just leave them all on and the regen level 3 braking is always on, which I use anyway and comes on in eco mode. I have put the driving modes on one of my favourites buttons so quick to switch on. Incidentally, does anyone’s speed limiter actually work? I was so pleased...

Similar to mine, only on the side of the house, half way up the drive and out of the sun. It is right by the main electrical point into the house so also meant no wires along the wall.

I personally use the handbrake switch next to the rotary knob when stationary for longer than a few seconds. The car remains in drive mode, but unlike auto hold, it turns the brake lights off, (or mine does anyway, I tested it in my drive 😂). I find it quite blinding when all the brake lights...

When I had problems last week with my battery going almost flat and had to get the AA out, I drove to the MG dealer and on the way noted my windscreen wipers were misaligned after the snow and ice and were not working properly. I was almost there so carried on with, fortunately, no visibility...

They don’t tell you this when they sell you the car 😔. I thought I’d really done my homework on the ins and outs of buying an electric car before deciding to get it. I even showed the MG salesperson where the speed limiter is, after being told it definitely does not have one. We are away...

Sounds like a good idea after my experience. I got a battery booster to charge the battery up and waited……..I ended up getting the AA out in the end and the battery was reading at 4V! It was boosted quickly back to 14.1V and then I took the car for a run, as suggested by AA, and went to MG about...

Thanks 😃

Thank you very much for your reply. I have been reading around and was not aware the 12V battery is the power house, as I have never had any issues. Very naive, but I will learn from this. I will pop to Halfords and see if I can get a suitable booster as I need the car later!

Hi, I got my car in February last year and have been loving it until today! I set it to charge last night as it was just over 30% and this morning it is frozen up, stopped charging in the night at some point and is not responding. I assume the battery is now dead due to the cold, or needs to...
