Then you can use this to argue MG should be fixing the issue ,as BVRLA say it is not fair. They can't have it both ways. Unless it is an obvious tear from a belt or something in a pocket then the seat should be able to withstand daily use.
If I start my car from cold with no preheating it takes about 2 - 3 minutes before warm air starts blowing into the cabin. If you assume the heater is going full blast for that time it would use 0.35 kW (7kW per hour and 3 minutes is 1/20th of an hour, so 7/20 = 0.35). The heater would then...
On the upside anyone returning the car under a lease or PCP agreement can say this is NORMAL wear and tear as the seats are only under warranty for 12 months, so should not incur any penalty.

The other thing to remember is the whole house runs at the lower rate, not just the EV charger so if you have appliances with delay timers e.g. washing machines, tumble dryers and dishwashers you can run those more cost effectively. Might even be cheaper to heat a water tank with a low rate...
Probably as they don't have an agreement with my local MG dealer and I suspect the local independent garage is charging them a lot less than an MG dealer would.
From my knowledge of the car's history I will probably just give it back at the end of the lease and as the lease company has its own...
EV life is a completely different World compared to ICE. ICE vehicles are all about mechanics, noises, smells. EVs are all about silent energy transfer and instant response giving you all the things you pay extra for in the ICE World (crazy power/torque numbers) for entry level pricing.
This is...
I got my XPower through a company leasing scheme and it is the first time I used this method for acquiring a car. That fact you as the person who will be driving around in it have little or no say in anything to do with the car was strange.
I tired to source the car from a local dealer (who had...
Just a couple of questions, you said the speed recognition always shows 30mph but in your pictures it is showing 40mph? The speed recognition initially uses map data until the camera recognises any speed sign. So if your map data is corrupted (or set to the wrong country) this may be why your...
This is from 2 years and just over 8,700 miles in my XPower. Using the battery % vs what the chargers say they have delivered has show a difference of 219 kW over 137 charging sessions (108 AC and 29 DC, with 22 to 100%). About a 7% variance.
From the battery % this is roughly what the useable...
Just some history for context. ICE cars were first sold around the 1890's and fuel duty, ironically at 3p/gallon was not introduced until 1909, nerly 10 years later. So it doesn't matter what fuel is used they will always tax you somehow. Even before cars they taxed horses.
It sounds like you have a really bad example of the car and the dealer has been useless in supporting you.
It is surprising that a comparison with any other car of the same spec from the dealer inventory would prove to them your car has faults that need to be rectified and that if they fail the...
One I have seen, not just on an MG but also on a Cupra I went to test drive a few years ago. If you park the car too close to a wall or other obstruction, when the parking sensors fire up they give a fault message. This can also generate secondary fault messages as one system tell others that it...
This is the warranty document from the MG website, you can see what items are covered and for how long. If you can prove there was an issue from the factory or something that was a factory issue caused any current problem then you would also have some cover...
SOS call warning can be down to mobile signal strength when the car starts, if the SOS Sim cannot connect to the mobile network it will flag as a system error. Does it happen in the same location?
