After managing for a while with duct tape we finally got round to putting on magnets using the same kit you used today. It was a little bit tricky because I think our flap is a bit misaligned. However we managed to make it work by sticking one magnet ontop of another (IE doubling up). One way of...

Glad you got you car back but all the hassle sounds like a nightmare. I can understand why you thought £500 was inadequate.

Sorry for that hopefully this works: Auto 2in1 wired to wireless

I got this one.https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005007125179276 it worked straight away. Thanks to whoever recommended it.

Thanks for letting me know.

Yes it caused electrical problems on mine and I didn't realise it was the washer pipe. It had to be towed into the garage, but they found the fault and fixed it.

Two weeks ago my MG5 stopped working completely with steering lock activated. This is how the problem got resolved... On a 20 minute drive across my city, I noticed that the rear windscreen washer spray was not shooting up high enough, but thought nothing of it. Due to severe congestion the...

Thank you for the nice feedback!

I'm sure you're right - you'll save yourself another £20 odd pounds. I just hope the DVLA website doesn't crash on 1 March when all the thrifty EV owners suddenly log on at the same time :D.

Had a nice half term trip to Belgium this week in the MG5. Started off with a surprisingly traffic free run across the Dartford crossing and down to Folkestone on Monday. (Monday of half term seems the best day to travel) Incredibly one of the only two rapid chargers at Folkestone services was...

Thank you for sharing this story and sorry for all the stress and hassle you've been through. It really shows what's wrong with the current system. Surely there needs to be more pragmatic thinking by insurers, dealers and manufacturers? They need to bring in more data and expertise to make...

Thanks I'll have a look at that again. I did try lubricating it but I think problem for me is not that it's not being be pushed in far enough, I think it is coming out enough. Thank you. Sounds a bit daunting with my DIY skills but it's good to have as an option. I think a general problem with...

Thanks for the cost comparison. Maybe I'll try magnets or some other improvised solution and try to save some money.
