    Pay per mile. Another blow for EV drivers

    I think they are doing well... would you like to go back to 'stupid bloody' Johnson and his ilk or maybe hand everything over to Farage the spiv? At some point, the bills need to be paid... and it won't be the rich improving anything other than their bank balances...

    Pay per mile. Another blow for EV drivers

    ditto... 2 hours driving, stop, charge the car (takes about 30 minutes) coffee, snack and a stretch of the legs has revolutionised a journey that used to be non stop, (apart from a stop and splash if needed} and get home wired to the moon from concentration... an hour longer but so much more...

    150 kW chargers

    22 plate 5LR here... Initially on a trip, I'll get up to 70kW max which tails back down, after 10 or so minutes to around 55kW... this is irrespective of time of day or temp... I generally expect 35 minutes for 20% to 80% on a fast Gridserve... it's a regular trip I do and this is pretty...

    Help! Charging cable stuck in MG5 EV

    Haven't seen an emergency stop on a charger for a while... My last run down from visiting the grandkids, I came across this on a VW, dual Gridserve and he couldn't remove the plug... he had to call support in the the end and they promptly re-booted the charger, stopping my charge as well...

    Pay per mile. Another blow for EV drivers

    I'd wait and see... this story came originally from an anti-Labour news source, and carried on by the rest of their gang... I think a lot of these things are briefed to see the reaction... I reckon if I was Labour, I'd just be saying you can vote again in a couple of years... who'd you fancy?

    Sat Nav update Q3 2024. Warning if you are heading to Norwich

    Bespoke? :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:... I read an interesting article on this testerday... major US car makers insist on using their own sat nav/infotainment as they'd like to have everyone paying a monthly or annual subscription to them... sadly for them, very few people use the systems...

    Supercharger would not stop charging session

    2022 5LR... it does everything I want. Had a 4 as a courtesy car and did not like it... not one little bit! An improvement over the petrol ZS they loaned me... as I'd forgotten how to drive manual :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :cry:

    Supercharger would not stop charging session

    I've just had similar on a gridserve charger at Woolley Edge services. Started with the Gridserve app and charged normally. Tried to stop it, again via the app, nothing doing... stop button on the screen, nothing. Finally managed to over come 'you arenumber 2 in the queue for a service agent...

    MG5 FL infotainment help

    Try different cables and if you find one that works, don't take it out of the car... I've had this with my Polo and now with the MG5 LR...

    Speed recognition

    Often! A road nearby confuses the car quite often... leaving M'way services often raises the alarm...

    Speed recognition

    It does become second nature... holding down that button until the roundel disappears...

    Wear on Front Tyres at 5500 miles

    Is this a dealer 'upselling'? Mine sends a sweet little video, with commentary. Last one, 3rd service 20 odd thousand miles... though I might like to change the front tyres at 4mm (even wear) at a rather expensive price... and there were signs of rust on the back brakes such that I might like...

    Please please please MG give us CarPlay Ultra!

    I learnt the ways of the compatible cable via my previous car, a VW Polo.... very ficky and would only work using a certain brand of cable... I didn't leave it in the Polo and it works fine in the 5LR. It lives in the car as I can't remember the brand now... :unsure:
