I have an Ohme, it works fine and lookswise it's unobtrusive. Although there's an app, it doesn't actually provide any useful info, and I don't use the scheduled charge option as I'm not on an electricity tariff that is cheaper at night. Just plug it in, unplug it in the morning, job done.

I've given up for now, We are going to find other ways round the issue like asking a friend who lives closer to the river to keep it in the summer. Cheeky, but easier!

With the way the flooding pattern is going each year, the river will simply move to us!

Thank you everyone, I'm going to dig out the tow hook

Hi Greeiig, yes it is a puzzle! We do need to tie down the front and back ends really. We went the 1.5miles to the river without these tie downs yesterday, but I'm far happier if they are tied down in both directions. I'm going to hunt for the tow hooks. I've a feeling when we popped off the...

We have a couple of kayaks. On our old petrol estate, we could find hooks in the chassis (front and rear) for the tie down straps. We haven't found suitable points for front and rear tie down strap hooks on the mg5 yet. Has anyone else found good spots to put the hooks?

I use this Petego EBK9K https://www.travellingwithpets.co.uk/products/erk9k Had it in my old Astra estate, and it fits nicely in the MG5 LR if you take off the top extension bar. Very easy to fit and remove. I've also got a full boot liner (base and sides), and a fold out bumper protector...

Coincidence! I had the same thought this morning. We had a tow ball on our old Astra estate and were hoping to do similar on the MG5. Why can't it have a towball fitted?

Thanks, this has been very helpful! Long journey ahead today, so I'll try out your suggestions

Thanks very much for your reply. I hadn't heard this about the HV battery shutting down. Is there a thread about it? I've tried a search but ended up down a rabbit hole. I charge to 90+ at home, and 100 +balancing once a month. No problems so far but it's early days for me. Are you saying its...

I charged my MG5 long range at an osprey ccs "max 50k" charger today. I haven't charged away from home before, where I use an ohme 7kw charger overnight. I was surprised that this osprey charge wasn't quicker. I had 68% battery on arrival. Does this look about right to those of you who are...

Well, I'm learning 😂 Definitely disappointed when I opened the bonnet. I've put a full liner in the boot to protect the car from our dog's propensity to shed fur like confetti. But now I can't get to the bit under the boot floor. I was hoping for a place under the bonnet to put my charging...

I haven't even looked under the bonnet yet. That can be tomorrow's highlight 😂

OK, at the risk of looking really gullible, what's a frunk? Just seen it on another post.

Could you tell me what these mean: ACC? GOM? also, not an acronym question but what type of charger is DC and what type is AC? I'm guessing my ohme home box is AC. Thanks Lguk, I spent yesterday afternoon reading the manual while pressing buttons in the car 😁
