Granny on IO?

Sounds like my Gran is on some kind of narcotic from the title 🤣 So I have a granny charger as a back up to my podpoint Solo and I test it periodically as a good Engineer would. The 13amp socket outlet that was originally for a PHEV sits next to the podpoint. This was the first test since switching ...

Re: Test Drive Smart #1 and MG4

Funnily enough I’ve given up on my Born as Heritage Gloucester is beyond hopeless and I’m fed up taking it back for faults that don’t get fixed and or waiting months for parts. I have just lost faith in the car and don’t want it when the warranty runs out even though I’d planned to keep it. Not tha...

Test Drive Smart #1 and MG4

For those of us that have been in a Born or an ID3 for a while I thought I would just write a post about my recent test drive experiences of the Smart #1 and MG4 and initial comparisons to the Born. I drove the #1 this morning and although only had half an hour (dealer had double booked the test dri...

Re: Yellow Born

Wow, I like that. Way back in my youth I had a Triumph TR4a IRS painted in Fiat Chrome Yellow, a real head turner in its day.
Yellow is a bold colour and a Marmite choice for most. I love it. Any more shots 👍

Re: Trip recorder reset?

On the Driving Data section of the infotainment screen there's a "0.0" button for resetting the long-term trip counter. That is my understanding. The equivalent of the standard ICE trip section on an odometer is the Long Term data. You can reset that to zero as said but in doing so you de...

Re: Transport Blocks

Collected my new 77kWh V2 last Sat, just before Christmas. Drive home was horrible: have never experienced such hard suspension even in real sports cars. Car bouncing erratically over slightest uneven surface and banging from all 4 springs over merest imperfections. Courtesy call on 27th in which I...

Re: B or D?

I'm the opposite. I drive in B mode most of the time. I only use the brake pedal to come to a complete stop. Right from the get-go I worked out what I needed to do to have smooth deceleration in an appropriate distance. It's all about situational awareness and not being in a particular hurry to get...

Re: New Born owner here saying hello *Wave*

Welcome to the forum Liam.
Glad your experience is very positive. The locked / unlocked info in the App is never more annoying than when you are miles from the car and realise it isn't locked and you cannot do anything about it.
V2 looking good and Vapour Grey 👍
