Yeah, we have a battery jump pack too, when the cars first came out, people were having the 12v battery go flat because they only partially started the car (pressed start without foot on the brake) and ran it flat. What I did find with the jump pack though was that it could run down over time...

Sorry, I don’t know. The first Tesla charge we did was only 35kW but we’ve just arrived in Nice and used a few Tesla chargers on the way down that were all faster- saw 81kW at one stage today.

Managed to get into my local dealer for an update check before heading off to France. They’re a Volvo/MG dealer but it had been in last month for a service so they said I’d be charged labour for checking and any updates as required. On the day I explained I only wanted the updates if I didn’t...

Yeah, I think you might be right. To be fair it’s probably just a generic quote but it is looking on the expensive side now.

That seems like excellent value. Octopus have just quoted me £11200 for 12 panels and one battery! Unfortunately our roof is split NW and SW. my neighbour (same roof) had panels fitted to both elevations but octopus have only quoted for one side at the moment. Going to speak to them next week...

We were “unlooped” last month and they didn’t lay a second cable to my neighbour. Instead they dug a hole where the feed comes into the meter box, and added an underground junction to split off the neighbours supply before it comes out of the ground! I checked and they said it was fine having...

Yep, did this once, proper downpour with the rubber bung out but it’s worked fine since so fingers crossed.

Might be worth hunting out the the emergency cable release - you have to remove the main plastic cover under the bonnet - once you've found it, extend it (I used a couple of zip ties) so you can reach it without having to remove the plastic cover! You're welcome. :-) Andy

Just catching up on this as my port has similar issues. What I’m doing at the moment is pulling the catch back out as it’s definitely not springing out fully on its own (I have tried spraying it with silicone spray etc). When I pull it out it slightly rotates as well then always engages with...

I still have one of these unused as it didn’t fit my MG5 granny charger if anyone is till looking for one. Can post or deliver near Birmingham. Andy

Hi Eveyone Received an email today from GeniePoint stating their prices will be increase from 14th April! Below is an extract of the salient points:- See below our new revised GenieFlex tariff which will be introduced across the GeniePoint network: Quite depressing...

I used them on my trip across France. First time the app wouldn't recognise the location - well it knew where we were and that there were chargers free but wouldn't recognise that I was selecting a charger - in the app! :-( Call customer services and they were very helpful and spoke great...

Birmingham to Dover this morning. Light traffic and. Steady 60mph. Topped up at Maidstone.

Just to add to this, "A Better Route Planner" app is worth the investment to use with CarPlay in your car. Once you have an account and tell it your car, it can recommend places to stop depending on which options you choose. Personally, speed is makes a huge difference here, way more than with...

They're £37 now but post free, still long delivery though, these are similar (Ebay Link) and available next week by the looks of things. Good Luck Andy
