Just a bit of advice really. I bought a space saver spare wheel ( VW golf, excellent condition ) which came with a golf jack and brace, I also bought some Golf wheel nuts as advised on this forum. Thanks to all who posted on this subject. I was not happy with the golf jack so decided to buy a...

Thanks. I found the circle speed limit sign really anoying too and found that holding down the OK button turned it off - which I do most of the time.

Thanks for the prompt reply! I'll give that a go.

Hi Folks. Did a long trip from Dorset to London and back yesterday. The car performed well, apart from 2 occasions when I noticed the warning icon on. Navigating around west London if there was a pop-up message, it went away and I missed it but glancing down noticed the warning icon on. Pulled...

Thank you dragon2611 for that hint! The info has obviously been there all along and I can now I can focus on it when I need to.

Hi Folks. Had the MG5 LR for a few weeks now and love it. Two minor little things are bugging me. On the HVAC system, the HVAC screen only comes up when making an adjustment using the controls. It only stays on for a few seconds and reverts back to the previous screen. The vent...

Thanks folks, I'll experiment further. Georgie, sorry, I think you are refering to the new MG5, I should have said, mine is 2021 - no doubt they have sorted it on the new one! Steve.

Hi Folks. Having done our first long trip over Easter – 420 miles to Suffolk and back from Dorset, I successfully used a number of chargers to familiarise and test them out. Lessons learned, like avoid rapid chargers when you don’t need them – 79p per Kwh (Ouch!). I have one question and having...

Thanks everyone, it has all been very helpful! Gomev, using your formula, it seems I would have to do more than 7,920 miles p/a before GO would be worth it. That is without using the night rate for anything else. I use an immersion heater in the summer for hot water but, as previously stated...

Hi folks. On the subject of tarriffs, I was on Bulb, Now on Octopus (Flexible rate) at 34p. Having just bought a used MG5 LR (delighted!) and have a Zappi home charger (excellent!), I did some maths to see if Octopus Go would be worth it. We cook with electricity, have gas central heating, no...

Yes, you did!

Hi Folks. Just bought a used MG5 LR (my first EV) and very happy with it. I had a PHEV previously but got fed up with dragging around a petrol engine when I mostly do short journeys. James and Kate (youtube channel) finally persuaded me on the MG5 LR. I have already found loads of info on this...

Hi Folks. Just bought a used MG5 (my first EV) and very happy with it. I have already found loads of info on this forum. Currently researching space saver spare wheels and have already found a couple of threads. Thanks to all. :)
