A cloudy day today. I was driving on a fairly busy A road, with intermittent tree cover. After a few on-offs I felt, for the benefit of others, I had to go for manual beam. Not sure what auto and auto sensitivity can do about such a scenario.

ER. 303 miles, with 8% battery remaining. Max 65 mph, but no other attempt at economy.

More than once, with the key in my pocket, I have stood by the driver’s door and found my wife unable,to unlock the passenger door.

I appreciate others have done it, but I got there for the first time today in my ER. Set off from Chester at 100%, with a GOM of 327 miles. 76 miles to Ludlow in the morning and 327 more to Norwich later in the day. Arrived with 8% ‘in the tank’. My wife and I shared the driving and the boot and...

Oh, you heathen ?

OK, I have folders but my main gripe is the limit on the number of files per USB. My old ICE (Seat Leon) happily took all my tracks on a 128Gb USB. I now need four of them to accommodate my MP3 music. If, on a journey, I have had enough Springsteen and fancy some Elgar, I have to stop and swap -...

That would be a BIG plus.

Simply wondering if any ER owners have replaced their original Bridgestone tyres yet, not because they wanted something better but because the tyres had reached the end of their life? After how many miles?

I ‘always’ turn off the (to my mind dangerous) LKA and swear silently when I forget. Just back from my hols, where I hired a petrol Corsa for a couple of weeks. Their “lane departure warning system” was superb - just a little vibration and a discreet flashing dashboard symbol, with the very...

I will add my voice to the “Yes, that’s like me” brigade although, to be honest, I think I get a little less. I would like to put that down to a weight thing, as my longer journeys always have my wife and a suitcase of luggage on board, with other stuff filling the boot. I found that such weight...

Oh, life is SO complicated ?

Winter cold usually 5 to 10. Not enjoyed any hot weather yet; temperature was about 18 to 20 for my 270 mile trip. Yes, ER. Always worth looking at someone's avatar, which usually gives their model.

I have a number of relatives and friends living 210-230 miles from me, so am used to that distance. In the winter I always managed to just get there. At this time of year I have no problem and have just completed a 270 mile journey with 7% left. Of course there are so many variables, but I am...

To make quite sure the battery does balance completely, I play safe and leave the car ‘charging’ for an hour once it gets to 100%. Hoping nobody is going to tell me that this is too long ?

Interesting how you get a showing of 320+. I have never got 320 in my ER. Simply confirms what others have said about GOMs varying wildly.

Which MG4 model do you have (your details refer to you driving an MG5)? Presumably an ER? I’m certainly impressed by the 315 miles - which is beyond me and my driving.

I posted elsewhere that, starting with the battery at 100%, I drove 264 miles recently with my wife as a passenger, with 16 miles range showing left when I finished. About 40% was on dual carriageway at 65mph or so. Had air con on and didn’t use any eco settings.

The SR GOM amazes me as well. My ER figure is ‘only’ 308-312 - and I live south-ish. What do LR people have showing at 100%?

264 mile trip, for my wife and I, with suitcase and other stuff in the boot. Car fully charged. 110 miles on dual carriageway A1, trying to keep at 65-67. Aimed for 55-60, where allowed on other roads. Average 47mph. 16 miles range left on arrival. Couldn’t have done it in cold weather, but...

Another advantage of an orange car ?
