I had the privilege of working in the maintenance sheds for Manchesters Metrolink . The electric motors are the size of a medium/large barrel with two on each bogie. They needed the least maintenance of any of the vast amount of parts which make up a tram and were reliable. But were designed to...
Industrial motors tend to be a heavier construction and run for longer periods at a constant velocity without the acceleration / deceleration and changing torque curves that EV motors are subjected to. A similar comparison could be the bearing arrangement in an alternator in an ICE car, although...
All spinning high torque motors will suffer wear and tear problems if used long enough. Quite a few Nissan Leafs suffer bearing wear which need replacing, and some Teslas have coolant seal failures in the motor leading to failure, both electrical and bearing corrosion. The quality, fitment and...
If you are of the view that EVs are good for the planet etc etc. Then blowing off the occasional "fast car" may make that owner think , Wait on a second , I'm getting one of them " and thus EV adoption would increase. So it can be seen that not only is it satisfying and fun but must be seen as a...
Sorry to hear your misfortunes, their are many on this forum who have the same complaints as yourself and even more who think " but for the grace of God go I " and are dreading the day when they need the assistance from the MG hierarchy whatever the suffix. UK...Eu...Fr.

There is a constantly changing small power meter in white next to the regen information symbol , bottom right of the drivers screen. When it goes into minus figures and green its showing regen percentage. Because it need a bit of concentration to focus on you'll need to be familiarised with the...
After a while and you have got used to it and adjusted, try to monitor the power settings and make sure that on a empty bit of road, it goes to 100% power delivery. Also make sure your new throttle disengages autohold when used. If not a quick dab of the brake will disengage it , better that...
I'm surprised at Siteguru , this was happening to me and his advice was to make sure the Android Auto cache on the phone was regularly cleared. This worked for me!
In a country where the vast majority of cars are of French or German origin it was two and a half years ago and a minor consideration when choosing a new vehicle. Should I go with the crowd, or save myself a few grand and suffer the embarrassment of both electric and Chinese ownership. Today I...
Should have mentioned in post 16 earlier, mine's a Motorola Moto g 6 play. Android 9 is the highest it goes and it works fine on the MG4. Which if the internet is to be believed should have set on fire by now .
Did none of you lot watch Blue Peter?, some cardboard and sticky back plastic (colour of your choice) shaped around the wheel arch to fill the gap would do the job . Gold badges for the best efforts! 😁
G,day, Like Kenp1 I took out the centre headrest, so impressed was I , I took out the left and right ones as well. They now reside in the bottom of the wardrobe and the rearward view is much better.
