    MG5 FL (MY24) manual speed limiter - how to?

    I never use it but I think you need to push the stalk forwards to switch to speed limiter then back towards you to get back to cruise control.

    Interesting Pod Point charging failure (and fix)

    I got the impression from pod point that the problem had been going on for a while and that the charger only shut itself down after a number of days of faults. This morning the reading is 208 but the charger is working at the moment. I've done a report to UK power networks - It will be...

    Interesting Pod Point charging failure (and fix)

    An update: Something similar happened today so I got out the Granny charger which worked fine. This is going to surprise people - I called Pod Point, got straight through (after negotiating the first level robot) and the support operator was excellent.

    Rear screen washer failure.

    MG5 SW 2022 chargin issues

    The charging should get very much better when the weather warms up. I've occasionally seen mine touch 80kW (but never for very long). The brakes just get a bit grubby and rusty because they don't get used much. This can make them a bit noisy especially in winter. I try to remember to do some...

    Rear screen washer failure.

    I've used clips like these https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/326094190903 when I've needed a fix to be properly permanent. I haven't had the washer pipe problem on my car yet so I don't know the size you would need.
