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

I presume they have plastic covers over them, either as part of the hubcap or separate?

Just to double-check but the pre facelift MG5 didn't ever come with locking wheel nuts as standard, did it? I don't recall ever seeing a locking wheel nut key/thing, and I got the car as a pre-reg a couple of years back, so I presume unless the dealer added them it won't have them. Otherwise I...

It's behind the lower dashboard panel on the drivers side (at least on the UK spec prefacelift) Edit: And yes you do pretty much have to remove the entire lower dash panel as there's no access panel for the fuseboard, I think I found a guide somewhere last time, it wasn't overly difficult as...

Nope you need a wireless carplay/aa dongle. Loads of them on Amazon marketplace or AliExpress.etc I found a rather generic basic looking one that does just AA/carplay (so not the full android AI boxes) worked most reliably

That's what ended up making Eon.Next more appealing as their version of it was not only cheaper off-peak but had a longer overnight period. Think it was slightly more expensive peak though Also I'm having fun with them and my Gas meter at the moment, they can't seem to pull the readings from...

Indeed, I really don't get people with this kind of logic. It's one thing if you've been getting bills that are wrong, and you think you're up-to-date then the company suddenly charged a large sum as a correction, but you know you should have been receiving bills and haven't so it shouldn't be...

I'd be worried about bricking something. Also, it wouldn't surprise me if my car has a weird software version as it was one of the late preface lift models that started throwing check HV battery errors and had to have some software update developed to fix it, i'd not want to cause that issue to...
