Thought my old one had a hardish life but this is cracking! 😄 well done that man!

Has anyone seen anything Xpower specific in any workshop manuals? AFAIK I’ve scanned / used the generic MG4 one a few times in the past which has been really helpful but can’t find anything specific for the Xpo, the only reference I can find is in the general manual under technical info for...

Yeah, I've used that particular dealer (assuming B&G) a few times for diff oil / washer / plugs etc. as the parts guy really is spot on (after more local dealers had no interest in supplying parts) but I rang a couple of dealers just to double check pad / disc prices & they were all the same...

Morning Macadoodle, hope you're well. Yeah, due to sheer laziness more than anything else I never got around to doing your breather mod in the end 😄. I completely agree & even down to the tyre wear as you say they’re so linear & smooth. As I’m soo use to mine on 17s I noticed the ride was ever...

Thanks, I’m only doing around x2 80 mile stints now morning & afternoon so around 160ish miles daily vs around 300 a day the bulk of the trophy mileage was (it would have been over 100k by now easy), I’d always put off the Xpower doing that daily but for the foreseeable it should be shorter &...

Yeah, it’s a tango trophy I’ve had since Nov 22 doing school transport, it’s held up very, very well, I had the early cars leaky breather problem on day 1 which was changed to the revised version very swiftly, I’ve since changed the diff oil roughly every 20kish as preventative maintenance (on...

Sorry, just seen this as it’s the first time I’ve checked in for a while, my mileage since September is about half what I was doing previously so slowed down quite a bit, I’m on 96k now & still feels very solid, however I’ve just ended up buying an Xpower which I’m collecting Saturday😄 so not...

Given the hassle / inconvenience you’ll undoubtedly have in getting it replaced under warranty if at all I’d just replace it yourself & It’s done & not just an awful quality SAIC replacement that will most likely give you trouble next winter. They really are awful quality after a bit of...

I did, I think the MCU must have been pretty old, mine's a Nov 22 phase 1 Trophy & I think was updated once to R30 at the first service but no problems with the star keys etc. since updating to R59 👍

Many thanks for the files & help everyone, went from r30 to r59 with the included fcim package (mine wasn’t even listed anywhere here it was that old I assume!) everything seems to be working well & it is much, much faster 👍.

I had a quick Look a while ago as although I’ve never had a problem in 65k for the sake of £40/ £50 or so & on other EV’s I’ve had the 12v is pretty much a consumable, I just haven’t got around to it yet. It’s definitely a size 063 45ah SAIC branded battery (probably pretty budget and poor)...

Thanks Macadoodle, that’s really helpful mate, I wish I hadn’t discarded the old oil now, think I’ll get an analysis done the next time & see what’s in there, at least it’s highly unlikely heat with your findings and lack of burnt smell. That’s right Les as tsedge mentions it’s the taxi...

I’ve just been using the MG official oil (made by Shell but only available through dealers). It’s called SL2808, there’s a couple of pics I believe and a bit more on the specs etc. a few pages back the last couple of times I’ve changed it if you look at my past posts (today was the 3rd time) ...

Just another quick update for anyone that’s interested, I’ve just changed the diff oil again @ 56k miles. it turned into a bit of a damp nightmare this time as the square drain bolt was seized/rusted solid and ended up rounding off, fortunately a “twist” socket extractor (lifesaver) worked a...

Yeah, it’s probably a mix of 70/30% A1/B roads so not all motorway mileage so gets quite a mixed use (& wear). It’s holding up very well tbh, no rattles or issues apart from the diff oil leak (sorted on day 2 with breather kit) The only concern I have with higher mileage is the diff so I change...

Currently averaging 4110 per month so far with the 407 ? days I’ve had my tango trophy, just ticked over 55k of school transport (taxi) work, same journey of around 260 miles a day 5 days a week over 39 school weeks each year, it’s very rarely used for any personal journeys & don’t think anyone...

Before I measure it properly etc. myself just wondering if anyone knows for sure the correct battery type or size for a Trophy? Cheers

That’s surprising, I’m sure nothing to worry about or indeed do we know just how accurate MG diagnostics are I’m not sure but you’d think they’d be using the same tools. My August 22 built, Nov 22 delivered Trophy (Obv diff battery chemistry) was apparently at 100% SOH at 15 & 30k services...

Thanks for updating, Glad to hear you’ve got it back but sorry to hear it’s not 100% yet, might not help but you never know, I’ve heard of one other drive unit failure that was replaced under warranty. I believe he had similar HV battery disconnection problems after which was resolved by...

Yeah that’s right, I was strangely miffed the first time it did it as I wanted a long running total, was not to be unfortunately ?
