    Dash soc always shows 100%?

    Not sure if this is a known issue or not, but having picked up my mg5 facelift on Tuesday, the dash always shows 100% in the big image, but 80% in the bottom left: Any thoughts? Wondering if this is a known issue (perhaps related to updates) or something else. Thanks Ian
