anyone got links for a cheapo v2l adaptor? i was looking at these but wondered if anyone had opinions either way i have an MG5 at the moment but the MGS5 is now on order so doing the usual research and pre-buying :D aliexpress

thats fantastic data and great to see - as you say its there to be driven/work for you, my rough rule of thumb i was working to was battery degradation of ~5% per 50k miles and it seems yours is also inline with that which is great.

I had it once,... found i was sitting on the keys which was setting the horn off!

It would be fascinating to see the battery state of health if you ever got a reader P.s. fantastic updates!

if anyone was interested i finally got around to opening up the failed actuator to see what had actually gone. i was expecting a small return spring to have failed, but no... catastrophic rust i was surprised how much water ingress had taken place - one to watch, but given thats my only gripe...

good to know! if you dont mind me asking is your lawn flat? ours is slightly sloped so just wanted to make sure it would actually work

is it an OcuMow you have? ive been tempted for a while for the 18 but havent quite pressed the buy button.....

ahh thanks, i thought i was missing a magic button to make it all show up :D i'll keep tinkering to see how i can get it to show all the fields thanks for taking the time to reply

Sorry I should have said. It's a cheep bluetooth dongle. I do get some stats coming back and if I go into all sensors I can see soh for example, but I don't have anything on the dashboard page. I think i can make a dashboard, but the ones shown seemed very nice and I couldn't see them anywhere?

Just got myself a dongle, daft questions. How do you see those dashboards shown in this thread? I've applied this car profile but can't see dashboards that show those battery settings? My car is the non facelift mg5 long range

sorry for the delay, but i did my writeup here (was easier to start a new thread, hope that doesnt break any rules!) https://www.mgevs.com/threads/how-to-change-charge-flap-latch-actuator-mg5-pre-facelift.21685/

for those who have been following Charging port cover not closing this is my writeup on how i fixed mine first of all the backstory... charge flap locks/springs seem to fail about the 3.5 year point, bloody annoying when you can get the charge door to open when you need to charge. dealers want...

Very pleased to say the actuator turned up and it was a perfect match. Took me about an hour to drop the bonnet off, change the actuator and put it all back together. Grand total of £13 and it's good as new. I'll do a proper writeup when I get a chance, but I'm well chuffed.

I was told that was no longer on the cards and had been binned off in favour of the mgs5

yeah i think its mad there arent more. i cant help but feel they have to come back into vogue to get better milage out of batteries If you then apply my default filter of £40k price point to any of those lists the lists get very small indeed.
