    Cleaning and care of roof

    As advised above. Don't have a Cyberster, but my daughter has a convertible Beetle. Car washes, and pressure washers are a definite no. A previous owner must of used one on her car as there are marks on the roof that would suggest a pressure washer was used on it. They are now permanent...

    All knowing car alarm

    Don't know if the MG3 is different, but I get both a text message and a notification on iSmart. Wife is added as secondary account and she gets them too.

    Kent and Sussex also have hosepipe bans. Residents there are up in arms and have complained that the reason for the shortage is number of unresolved water leaks from their local water company. No ban here yet, but if we do get one I'll be using the waterless car wash option.

    A little bit weird (mi/kWh increased to 9)

    No, my symptoms were after using a rapid charger, which was before a slow AC charge with balance. The AC charge cured my issue.

    A little bit weird (mi/kWh increased to 9)

    Sort of, it wasn't an Instavolt charger, but after using a rapid charger to charge car, battery percentage altered to level of charge added. Drove off, battery percentage did not drop, and miles per kWh kept going up until maximum (20 miles per kWh) Stayed like that despite covering many miles...

    Screen stuck or black

    Given the temperatures in Spain currently, could it be that the car interior has got too hot and the LCD screen has gone black as a result. Does it come back once the interior has cooled? Had a similar problem in Italy with a SatNav after leaving it on the dash by mistake.

    Don't charge from a 3 pin plug when it's 27 degrees outside kids

    Really, I thought they went off because the mains power had been cut, and that is considered an alarm tampering.

    To use or not use A/C in hot weather

    UK spec isn't a heat pump. Euro is apparently.

    To use or not use A/C in hot weather

    Mine is also very happy in this weather giving me a GOM of 306 miles after charging up to 100% at work. Had to turn the air con down as it was too cold! Might sleep in the car tonight :ROFLMAO:
