    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Like many others I used Google maps and only have it as back up, effectively just like an old fashioned and potentially out of date A-Z.

    Moving to Octopus - current situation?

    Boot not staying open

    Thanks Alb. My son thought hydraulics related. Long wait for parts doesn't sound great but not much we can do about that.
