Still no sign of it being billed! I did get a £100 invoice from Parking Eye though. You need to give your reg number to reception which we didn't see. You know you're locking for where the chargers are rather than reading the sign at the car park entry. Anyway, the hotel even have an option on...

99% of the "guests" will just be unidentified bots. I run a web site and the amount of bot traffic (most of it probing to try and do harm) is just ridiculous. Eventually the 'net will just be bots attacking other bots and humans will give up.

Originally the limit was much higher, or even unlimited, but as usual some people took the piss and downloaded huge amounts of data. So MG put the current restriction in place, which as you say doesn't even seem to cover the cars own usage.

a) it's not really is it. Lots of people me included just set the percentage, plug-in, job done. b) Only confusing when people try and make it work how they want it work rather than how Octopus want it to work. c) isn't the issue there the systems (like Rolfes) which are not setup to allow for...

My 4 Trophy has the vibration that starts around 65 mph. Definitely does not feel like a wheel balance issue, and persisted across the wheels being swapped front rear when I had two new tyres fitted. There is another thread somewhere where other non-XP owners also reported it. Nowhere near as...

Bluetooth LE doesn't need pairing. The security comes from a shared security key installed in the car and the iSmart app.

Yep a long time in politics. But anyway the current statement is that they will not have to pay the tax due, it will be waived for people whose only income is the state pension.

But changing the modes changes the accelerator response curve, so holding a steady position whilst changing modes is meaningless, with each regen setting you will on a different point of the curve.

Or as RR has said, they may waive the tax. It's still a long way off anyway, much can change in the meantime.

As soon as you press the brake, the accelerator cuts out.

Doesn't matter, you need to apply the brake firmly to get past all the regen, whether accelator lifting or initial gentle brake application induced.

I thought the current plan (proposal, whatever) was that if you had no additional income, then any tax on the pension would be waived? But making the pensioners tax allowance the greater of the SP or the standard personal allowance sounds like the best way forward.

I've had some sessions with a very large number of slots, and it's never caused the car an issue.

That's a bit contradictory isn't it? If it is Smart Charging then you have no control of the "when" so you cannot force it to be within 11:30 to 5:30?

It should be said the levels only apply to lifting the accelerator. The first gentle part of the brake application will then increase the regen up to it's maximum before the friction brakes start being applied when the requested braking force becomes too much for regen to satisfy. So you can...
