I’ve booked it in for 2nd service at £195. When booking the wanted to upsell me with aircon gas top up and aircon system “purge”. £40 for the former £100 and something for both. My aircon is working fine and I’ve done only 13K miles. Are these two just extra revenue for the dealer, in any way...

Thanks @Rolfe and @Everest

Hi, my second service on Trophy LR 2023 model is due. It's done slightly under 14,000 miles. I've been quoted £195 by Eden Motor Group in Newton Abbot, where I bought. Is that reasonable compared to what others have paid?

Sorry if I’ve missed the answer to this question (I’ve read the whole thread): I am on Octopus Intelligent Go Octopus Outgoing (15p/kWh) Flexible Octpus (gas) I have Zappi v2 for my EV (MG4 first gen) I have no loyalty to Octopus and like the sound of 5 rates and lower standing charge and...

I hadn’t seen this and was alerted to it today by this. https://www.moneysavingexpert.com/utilities/electric-vehicles/#need-10 I’ve just done mine. It wasn’t due to expire until end of June, but from my understanding I’ve saved more than £100?

I tried to charge at two BP pulse chargers recently in Lewes and Littlehampton. Neither would charge my Trophy. The other, non-BP chargers in the area that I used worked just fine straight away. As did those on route and at home. I have read of BP Pulse/MG issues and experienced them. I've...

Thanks. At both sites and multiple times, I followed the instructions to the letter. On both outlets on each charger. Yes, it is not a huge sample-size, but that the car charged immediately at a non-BP charger—Evyve—ten mins later and then again at an Instavolt further into the journey and then...

Here in Feb 2024. I can report that BP Pulse Chargers in Lewes and near Littlehampton would not charge my mk1 Trophy. Not via the bp app or with my debit card. Both sides off both chargers report “an error setting up the charge “. Support line rebooted one of the chargers. No effect. The charger...

I got warned a few months back by the car - on screen graphic. When I was about to drive with it open. But since then I have left it open and driven and it hasn't warned me. So, some reliable inconsistency.

The Pumpkin. Because that’s what the orange reminds me of.

I've not missed having a rear wiper. Had one on my Prius and basically forgot it was there because I never used it. I did used to drive HGV's so do use my side mirrors a lot. I do use the rear-view mirror and haven't experienced any visibility issue due to lack of a wiper ... it is a smaller...

I’d like to try it. Having said that, I descended the Kirkstone Pass to Ulswater recently, I didn’t have to touch the brake pedal once. Thought I was hovering over it just in case. i quite like the regenerative braking as it is on eco but, yes, I don’t know what I am missing from one-pedal driving.

What’s the standing charge? And which octopus tariff?

Maybe check the integrity of the wiring in the washer plug and its cable. And or it may have some kind of issue that the car thinks is a faulty circuit? Don’t know, but I’d imagine something like that. Or it just doesn’t like domestic chores ?

Where can earthed barge pole? ? And fair point.
