Hypervolt

Phew, I made the right choice. 😎 The December What Car magazine includes their tests on eleven popular home wall chargers. Only one received five stars and the two popular ones mentioned on this forum came 4th and 9th.l I can"t find it online yet, but I'll post a link here when it appears.

I ordered a new HS in April and at that time the car was already on a ship and due into the country the first week in May. On the Friday of that week the dealer called me to say the ship had docked but the car had been damaged in transit and he was refusing to accept it. It must have been...

If it is off you only need to flick the right hand silver button upwards, as if you are trying to increase the volume, and it will come on.

I queried this with the dealer and they said that the stealing of wheels is not a major issue any more, insurers are not giving discounts on premiums if you purchase locking wheel nuts. The MG dealer went on to say that the size of wheels, with 5 studs, fitted to the HS would not fit onto the...

Is everybody here quoting the rates including 5% VAT or the net rates the suppliers advertise?

I don't use the i-smart app but in my Hypervolt app I can schedule the start and stop times to the minute. A simple calculation will tell me how long I need to charge overnight to stop charging at 60 miles.

I can confirm in France the spec is for a 21.4kWh battery, 277bhp and 62.5 mile battery range. My car will run from 75 miles right down to zero, and run on zero in full ev mode for some distance before the motor cuts in. Having said that the best actual range I've got out of it is 69 miles, but...

Same here, January 2025.

In Milton Keynes, famous for its roundabouts, there are some larger roundabouts that have a 40mph speed limit. When you come off the roundabout onto a 60mph grid road there is a large radius bend and the car's camera will pick up the derestriction sign on the island separating the incoming...

Probably not an issue here in France. Memories of the MR2 lack of sales due to it's meaning may drive people away in France. HS is the standard abbreviation for Hors Service, translated - Out of Order 🤦‍♂️

I've just had a play with mine and I can see the problem. It looks as though you have to release 3 or 4 of the quick release screws to provide enough flex in the plastic apron panel to provide enough clearance to lift off the fuse box cover. Good luck seeing clearly the fuses under the apron cover!

I obtained a (free for the first month) BP Pulse subscription which gave me a cheaper unit rate (44p from memory) and this bought me the time to obtain a wallbox. I then cancelled the subscription. The RFID card still works but without the monthly payment the unit rate is around 66p per unit...

My car came with one of the programmable steering wheel buttons set to switch on the forward facing cameras.
