Did you managed to change the mirrors/route the cables?

I decided to go for ID3 77kWh after all (21 plate, 12k miles). The range is between 260 and 300 miles, very happy with this!

hi everyone, My MG5's MOT is coming up soon, and since the car is still covered by warranty and i don't want to void it, i was wondering if i can take it to have it done anywhere, or is it have to be a dealer? Thanks!

Thanks, this one is exactly 3 years old, what kind of issues did you get?

Coming back to the original post, I decided on ID3 (77kWh) rather than MG4, and so far (early days) I'm very happy (I'm coming from MG5). The promised mileage seems to be true, the car is very efficient up to 65-70mph, pleasure to drive, easy to charge and very comfortable. Here's a photo from...

True, so far i just tried 900w heater for about 15 minutes but hard to tell how is it going to be ina long run... That's right, the car is "on" (started with a foot on a break) and the 12V battery is being constantly topped up. I check with a clamp meter and the charging current is being...

Yep, similar kind of thing. 71 plate, 50k miles, occasional rapid charge, charge to 100% most of the time, however never let it sit when low SOC (<25%)

Yes, that's right.

As we know there's no V2L capability on Pre-lift MG5, so I decided to do a DIY version. The onboard charger is capable of delivering around 170amps to 12V battery, however the charging circuit fuse is 150amps, so we are looking at maximum 2.1kw max. I bought 2kw pure sine wave inverter, as I...

Thank siteguru. I'm looking at Extended range so yeah, 23 plate which makes 1-2k more expensive than VW but less mileage and newer car.

I'm currently on the lookout for a new car, and I was pretty much decided on ID3 but it seems it might be MG4 after all. I was considering ID3 (77kwh version) due to slightly higher range, (supposedly) better overall build quality and longer battery warranty (VW is 8 years/100,000miles) I was...

That's true, no 2 drivers are the same... I would basically like to make sure I'll get a bump of at least 30% extra range comparing to my current car, as otherwise it might not be worth changing.

Thanks for that, makes my decision about a new car even harder!

Perfect, thank you. 280 miles is a decent result, i would be happy with this. Does that mean you get more % when the battery holds more charge? I tend to agree with this, it always feels you get more miles out of first 50% then the other... Are you extended range?

Tbh, i don't trust this 100%. I used 28% of the battery to do 68.6 miles, therefore 68.6/28=2.45 2.45x100=245miles. Still very good result, especially since MG5 is ICE to electric conversion, not a dedicated platform, also this is 90% motorway, and the battery is 3 years/50 000miles old.
