I have reached the 1500km (932 mile) service distance, but the gear(?) light has not illuminated. I expected the light to illuminate per Austin Texas AF1's new purchase tutorial, but it did not. So, I rode a little further thinking a few more miles might trip the light. I believe the clock now reads 955 and still no light.
First question: I've scheduled my first service for next Tuesday 22Feb, but am wondering if there is NO light to "reset" during the service visit, am I going to get a surprise light in the near future that requires another service visit JUST for the light reset? Anyone experienced this?
Second: I read MANY comments about how the MG likes to operate at a higher RPM, but again I am not seeing any supporting data saying it should operate in some sweet spot. I get less engine vibration and it "seems" the 850 runs best in the 4500-5000 range, but this doesn't jive with a 4500 RPM gear shift limit. Anyone able to discuss this with some kind of supporting data/document(s)?
Thanks as always,
Houston, Texas.
