I do apologise, I've edited the posting, it should have been 2022, sorry for any confusion.

Really pleased I didn't buy the MG5 I'm running about in, found it to be a great car, it's on MG Finance Contract Lease, 4Yrs 48,000 Miles, then back to them, job done, no worries unless I go over the 48,000 Miles, then it's 12p a mile to pay. I've had it since August 1st 2022, done 23,000 miles...

I got some 'IKERY Ultra 9005/HB3 20,000Lm 6500K IP67 50W LED Bulbs' from Amazon £27.99 then, now £24.99 Pair. They are excellent, pattern is perfect, don't get any flashes from oncoming traffic so I believe they're not blinders. P.S. Make sure the bulb end is vertically disposed, otherwise...

I booked my 5 into Stoneacre Derby today for its 2nd service and hopefully Tesla update, I didn't really need the 2nd service until August, but I'm booked in in June, be a nice ride down the dreaded A38 (I used to be a Truckie and hated the A38 sorry). I post what transpires.

I installed my 32A 7kW AliExpress charger through a proper 32A Isolator/Socket to a spare MCB connection in my garage Consumer Unit, I had 2 MCBs fitted to overcome a problem whilst switching on my TIG welder, so thought that might be better than the RCDs vacant, I've not had any problems until...

Thanks for the reply emmrecs, I did try them, but they said they couldn't sort me due to them packing it in, I've tried quite a few within reasonable distance from Scunthorpe, but non are helpful so far, I did read from another poster that he was sorted very well at Derby MG, I'm wondering if...

emmrecs, might I ask which dealership you use, I just contacted mine in Hull, whom flatly refused to update the CCV and told me 'I would be held responsible should a Tesla charger cause a problem', I'm not too far from you, and wouldn't mind changing dealerships.

They are Nexen 'Roadstone Eurovis' tyres, £188.* for 4.

It's good to hear you got a good result from your dealer, I'm afraid I can't reccomend the dealer I use for any attention to the car, it went in for some black marks on the roof lining near the driver's door, 'We'll give it a wash and valet', did they hell as like. On another note about TPMS, I...

Same here, mine must have gone blank dozens of times, but sometimes just resets itself or I press the volume button, I sometimes experience phone connection problems, if I have the display showing just the date and time, it always needs a switch off and on again if that happens. PFL MG5

2023 Q4 Maps and an EV Station update, it was certainly the latest to me, as I haven't been on the Naviextras site for months, so I'm happy with it.

Just downloaded the latest to me free Naviextras SatNav updates, there seemed to be a reasonable sized file to download, and it took a while to install in the car(PFL MG5), just thought I'd let it be known.

Thanks folks for the replies, they're both available from either the manufacturer or fleabay for the same prices, I was hoping it would be compatible with Octopus's Intelligent tariff, but they're saying not, so I'll have another think, but stay with Sainsbury's Energy for now.
