Ha ha Thanks. Will look into these

Hi all, The front tyres on my 2020 MG5 EV are coming to the end of their life. Any recommendations?

Hi All, I had my car serviced last week. As part of the service I mentioned about the Gridserve issue to see if there were any technical bulletins that might highlight a resolution to the Gridserve rapid charge problems that we have all been suffering. Chiswick MG (who were really good by...

All, I have been in DM contact with Gridserve. They are allegedly looking into it, but they need more data. As all of my driving at the moment can be done on one charge (at home) I haven't need of Gridserve. But please could I ask all of you who are using Gridserve to report issues directly...

Hi all, just thought I would update you;. One week in and still nor reply from Gridserve - other than "our engineers are looking into it"...

Agree. I wrote to Gridserve asking why this was the case and received no reply. I however was not competing with another car. The double CCS chargers were useless to me. Only the Chademo worked...

I am now 22 months in to MG5EV ownership (standard range) and I have just come across a weird problem. On a recent trip to Scotland (motorway up and down) I had to use the blooming gridserve facilities (always a heart rending experience at 60+p per kWh). I encountered a consistent problem with...

Thanks. Sounds technical. I will have another look online. My first search brought up a bewildering number of sizes.

Has anybody got a recommendation for a space saver tyre for a Feb 21 MG5EV. I had a puncture last night and frankly the inflator and gunk was useless. I don't want to be caught out again. Advice gratefully received. Thanks all, in advance.

Second road trip of the summer, this time to visit my wife's family in Northern Ireland. This involved a drive from London to Cairnryan with a stop off in each direction half way (Preston on the way up and Kendal on the way back). MG5 fully loaded with all sorts of paraphernalia as usual...

Glad you had a good trip. I have just completed another road trip which I will write up, but as usual, issues we encountered were around charging infrastructure. I came across a few dud ones on my recent trip. However, I also came across inconsiderate users. ICE driver using CCS parking spot...

Thanks. That's what I found on the net too. Can't understand why I have been sent a card as I have never (knowingly) applied. They claim to have an app which has a generally poor review, other than from what seem like "plants". Seems like a potential scam...

I recently received an rfid card from cleanergy ev through the post. I was a bit surprised as I don't have their app. I have been trying unsuccessfully to get an rfid card for charge your car. Has anybody got any knowledge of cleanergy. Are they related to CYC? Who are they, does the...

Thanks very much. Will definitely do this. 👍

Thanks for this. I was being excessively cautious because of the 4 rapid chargers I tried in Inverness none was working for CCS and the one I used needed a reboot. Not ideal when you have to catch a ferry... Glad to hear there are other options.
