    Thanks Coulomb. That's pretty much what the guy said but I didn't articulate very well!

    Rolec charger issue resolved

    Pass! He said it was RCD but I have no idea what an MCB is. Main thing my charger has a new working as before which I'm happy with.

    Rolec charger issue resolved

    Thanks for the info. Yes it's 7kW. He said he'd swapped a lot of 32s for 40s and that 32 was the max it could cope with. That said I'm not technical and know nothing. Just glad it works.

    Is rust a problem on early MG5s?

    My pre FL SR is nearly 4 years old. @72k miles. No rust to date. I did get the paint work 'coating' thrown in as part of the deal when I bought it new. The odd tiny dent/scratch but nothing untoward as yet.

    MG5 Map Update?

    Please let us know how you get on. Like many others I used Google maps and only have it as back up, effectively just like an old fashioned and potentially out of date A-Z. Whenever I ask my dealer about updates I get blank looks. Dealer is Volvo/MG combo and think the MG element is definitely...

    Impact of KERS on tyre wear

    Just to update took my pre FL MG5 to a trusted tyre place pre MOT. Rears definitely needed changing (originals still on and now up to 55k miles). Wear on fronts not critical but decided to change anyway. Suggestion of under inflation. No issues on sensors and I check manually monthly. Wound up...

    Impact of KERS on tyre wear

    Hi I saw a post recently that suggested that KERS resulted in the tyres wearing quickly, especially if you use KERS 3. I usually drive Normal and 3 but after seeing that post I've switched to 2. I do a lot of miles 44k since November 21. Have changed fronts once (Falken-good)and rears will need...

    Moving to Octopus - current situation?

    Thanks Gomev for your ever helpful response. A friend has shared a referral code put appreciate the nudge. It's reassuring to hear the process is pretty swift. Sounds like the gas tracker takes 6 months but worth it in the end I guess.

    Moving to Octopus - current situation?

    Hi We're coming to the end of our OVO 2 year fix in a couple of weeks. We have looked at what's out there. We have a mark one MG5 SR. Over a year we use 5.6k kw charging the car and 5.3kwh on other domestics use. We were looking at getting a cheap overnight rate to charge the car and run major...
