    MG5 Supercharger: FAQ 2 - What upgrades does my MG5 need to use a Tesla charger?

    Oh, that's not good news. I haven't done mine yet - I don't actually need to use Tesla chargers, just want the option.

    Hive EO mini 3 & MG4 charging issues

    Did you read my post? I am simply saying that the open source community have a solution if anyone else has a Mini Pro2 and want to get scheduled charging back. I wish we didn't buy it, but given it's the charger we have, I think others in the same boat might want to know it's possible to get...

    Hive EO mini 3 & MG4 charging issues

    Bit of a necro-post, sorry, but possibly useful to anyone else staring at their one-smart-ish EVSE. My EO "smart home hub" (basically a mini Pro2 with the brains elsewhere so you can attach PV sensors) is out of support. Thankfully the brain is just a Raspberry Pi and woefully insecure. Same is...

    Replacing offside/drivers door mirror - advice/hints/tips

    After getting run off the road by an idiot in an SUV last week (my choices were get hit or swerve into a wall - no, they didn't stop), this thread came in very handy. Replacement NS wing mirror off eBay, iFixit kit to help get the door card off, Impact driver and T30 bit for the bolts, job's a...

    Joke thread

    My wife got me one of those mood rings that changes colour. It's not really my thing, but it was a thoughtful gift. Anyway, I took it off to do some DIY last week and a couple of days ago I realised I've lost the thing. I still don't know how I feel about that.

    Wanted: VDI tool for a few days to install updates, program keys

    I might, but I'm willing to hold out a little longer to see if anyone decides they're done with theirs, or is willing to loan one. If not it'll have to be a new year present to myself 😭

    Wanted: VDI tool for a few days to install updates, program keys

    Bump. If you've got a VDI3 tool sitting on your workbench, let me know!

    Wanted: VDI tool for a few days to install updates, program keys

    I've been following a few people who've successfully installed their own updates and programmed their own keys using a VDI tool, and I'd love to play along. Once I'm done I can't foresee needing one of these again in the next few years, and I imagine there are a few of them sitting on various...

    [Guide] DIY Tesla Compatibility Update for MG5

    Just want to add: swapping the EVCC module is very straightforward if you can find the correct model from e.g. an EV breaker on eBay. I swapped the module on my PFL SR and the car did not complain at all beyond the usual "how dare you unplug the 12V battery?!" warnings. However I still need to...

    Tesla Supercharger Issue MG5 LR

    Thinking aloud: is the VDI tool also the missing link for programming a blank key? Could do with a spare...

    Tesla Supercharger Issue MG5 LR

    Maybe worth a new thread for those interested in doing this themselves? Like @boomish I'm not bothered enough to faff around with dealers and labour fees, but would happily try it myself. I know of other forums where pieces of specialised equipment just keep getting passed along to the next...

    Unpairing phones from the infotainment system

    We've just had a ZS as a courtesy car so bringing this thread back from the dead. You need to swipe the device in pairing history. Not obvious at all!

    MG5 Supercharger: FAQ 2 - What upgrades does my MG5 need to use a Tesla charger?

    Well, I found a decent price from EV Breakers on an EVCC from an LR, and combined with a stackable eBay discount it made it too tempting to pass up. Swapped it in 2 weeks ago and the car doesn't seem to care at all after I cleared the warnings from disconnecting the 12V battery. I haven't...
