No since it wasn't an immediate concern and I was unlikely to get anywhere with getting them to do it under warranty i'd planned to deal with it in the new year. However since then i've decided I'm not keeping the mg5 anyway, decided to change it for something smaller (small EV's with...

I think the OP was claiming MG are saying that only the MG4 is compatible with the superchargers rather than then software update would make it work on the ones that are Tesla only...

Whats the cellular reception like where it's parked? Not sure which network/networks (they may have one of these multi network/roaming sims/esims in them) the MG cars will use for their connectivity features

Called their other garage, they said the service should be logged on MG's system although weren't sure if MG would cover the suspension based on the wording from the MOT (Because whilst it's showing signs of wear it's not failed).

Is the suspension bushing a warranty item or just classed as wear and tear? Reason I ask is my MG5 is coming up to 3 years old and it got an advisory on it's first MOT for "Nearside Front Suspension arm pin or bush worn but not resulting in excessive movement" . Now the garage I had it...

I wonder if any software updates on the Tesla side have changed anything, probably not but since there are more Supercharger sites open now I might go try it. (It shouldn't work on my s/w version).

Should probably try to minimise 12V loads as much as possible as well, so ideally no lights, fans/radio .etc (weather permitting)

I called them this morning to check the appointment was going ahead and they said due to stock availability.etc they won't be available before Tuesday so that's completely useless to me. I originally booked for Tuesday this week and then when it got towards the end of the slot called them to...

Well they were sodding useless and have again failed to come out so looks like I now need to go elsewhere (and possibly get different tyres due to availability) Edit: Looks like i'm getting some bridgestones now, hopefully those will be ok.

Not on its own, you'd still need an EVSE of some kind to do the signalling.

If we're being accurate there also electronics for generating the PWM signal used to tell the car how much power the EVSE is capable of supplying.etc Most of the more recent ones will have some form of Microcontroller/Single board computer in them for the "smart" features like scheduled...

Sigh, apparently the job didn't get booked in because I'd selected the bank holiday Monday (I hadn't as it wasn't even an option). It's only because I called them after never getting an update with a more precise time slot (which apparently it's supposed to send out the morning of the...

Good, hopefully getting some cross climates put on tomorrow Front tyres are at the wear bar (opps) rears have plenty of tread but some cracking is starting to happen around the edges so decided to eat the cost and get a fully matched set on It's at about 19k miles and is a 22 plate Old tyres...

Checked one of the wheels, think these are just standard and presumably a tyre fitter should have no issues getting them off (assuming they haven't seized)

Saw that under the false floor in the boot and wondered what it was for
