    Interesting consumption figures - is there a second gear thing going on?

    I understand that, hence the query. The system was definitely informing me I was getting better returns for a certain speed after a point that I really would be expecting it to be returning markedly worse.

    Interesting consumption figures - is there a second gear thing going on?

    Having just done a 1000 mile round trip on mainly motorways ( incl. Cornish equivalent A30) I noticed an interesting thing re consumption several times. Driving at speeds upto speed limitish, say 50-70, consumption was showing 2.6 - 2.9 ( again, ish). And not that I ever would, but should I have...

    64kWh Battery - 20 to 80% is the only safe way to charge?

    When charging to 100% on a dc charger the rate drops after about 80% significantly to protect the battery (electrons coming in hot !! ???) , until by the time your up in the high 90's its similar to the ac rate you charge at home (6kW(ish)). If you're using it on a daily basis it doesn't matter...

    Highest mileage MG4 owner

    Sounding good ?. Have you tried putting it in tow mode. Stays on permanently so you don't have to switch lka off.every.damn.time. ? You lose reversing sensors but get used to the size of the car again like 'the good ol' days ' .

    Not been a great week..

    "Not even a single squeak after 5 years" ? ? Fair enough. I only included them as they are now the parent company of Kia and assumed the same approach. I can highly commend the 2018 Kia Soul 30kwh ( in blue). Reg WK68 PZ(x). Awesome quality and reliability. No idea about Hyundai.

    Not been a great week..

    I had a kia soul 30kWh 2018 Did 48k miles in it over 4 years ( 12 months old when i bought it). Not a single issue in my 4 years of ownership. I bought 1 set of tyres and 1 set of windscreen wipers - and that's all. Dealers always very attentive and helpful. Didn't realise just how good I'd had...

    I'm sorry but....

    I didn't try any AC charging whilst away- got it on for tonight though. Never had problems before switching between the two so ? Best bit about the Tesla charging was using the Tesla service center in Exeter. Not only did they let me charge at the first station ( i.e. anyone passing by or indeed...

    I'm sorry but....

    Following a thousand mile round trip from pointy end of Cornwall to the Lake District ( UK) and back again over the last week, I have to reiterate ( with no sweary bits this time) this is a truly amazing car. Not a single hiccup ( bar weird infotainment recycling itself for 2 hours /50 miles...

    MG4 Undertray dip/bulge

    Cost? It's what everything usually comes down to. You'd think a minor redesign would've been incorporated by now rather than keep shipping out a flawed design. ?

    MG4 Undertray dip/bulge

    Yup. You tell them about it. They act surprised, enquire of MG and inform you it's a feature, not a fault so they won't rectify it as there's nothing wrong with it. However, from my point of view I believe it's important for them to acknowledge the fact you've informed them, just in case. Ask...

    Infotainment cycling round non-stop on Android auto - help!

    Car has done 2k miles with not a hiccup on Android auto. Did 250 miles yesterday, no problem. Today, 50 miles no problem then started cycling. Always used Waze (GPS) and VLC (tunes).

    Running a coolbox in the MG4.

    Rated as cheap chinese tat. Only labels seem to be 12v/24v next to 12v sockets. Usb not labelled. Think I used to use it for iPod/phone, so very low power. Coolbox obviously a bit too serious for it so will sling. Now come across a pending P1EBD2 code checking outstanding codes on OBDII...

    Running a coolbox in the MG4.

    Thanks for that - using ice blocks for the journey and 240v at destinations.... All sounds a bit desperate really ?? ... and yes, 15a fyse seems fine - at least the dash cams still working off it ?

    Running a coolbox in the MG4.

    Well, that's a no then. Just tried it. To be fair I hadn"t pre-cooled the coolbox. Used an old splitter. Everything worked, coolbox was set to eco. Powered up, along with dashcam. Sat with it for a couple of mins. Picked up bit of a dodgy smell. Felt cables. Splitter plug might've been feeling a...

    Running a coolbox in the MG4.

    'scuse my village idiot level of comprehension. I'm assuming 120 is a max and as 48 is obviously well within this it's all rosy ? ? ( Yes, I really am this dumb )

    Running a coolbox in the MG4.

    In my old 2018 kia Soul there was plenty of useful onboard power supplies including a 12v in the boot which I used to use to transport chilled stuff in an Outwell coolbox. This is ac/dc switchable so when I got to my destination I'd put it on the DC supply of the property I'm staying in. Zoom...
