Great that you managed to get them to honour it, I couldn't get anyone near Cheltenham to honour it and they have now refunded me fully since my last service in March 2023 when Thompson First were still afloat. I've just checked on Companies House and Plan My Service LLP seem to have been...

No idea how Cleevely get so many miles out of them!? I asked them when I popped my car in for a surface and they said I should try driving more carefully…which is fair enough. I now have a Black Box fitted with my insurance so have to calm down at the traffic lights, I’ll see how the tyres hold up.

I had uneven wear on the front, got the tracking done by MG at a service check and they corrected it. At last service they noticed uneven rear wear but said there is no way to adjust the tracking at the rear. Rear tyres now on 35k miles and fronts replaced twice in that time so they can't be...

I get this from time to time while using Apple CarPlay, weirdly I can trick it back into action by using voice control on the steering wheel and saying “switch to Waze” or any another app. Then it appears and stays visible. It’s as if it’s running but just showing a blank screen. The...

Just a heads up as I haven't seen it on here... I had a service plan with Thompson First MG, manage by PlanMyService LLP. I knew Thompson First had gone into liquidation but it turns out so did their service plan company on 11th October. They were still collecting my Direct Debit but I had no...

I've found that scratching a gate catch down each side of the car while reversing, and scratching and crunching all four corners of the car really helps keep the thieves away. It also makes sure the residual value of the car is rock bottom, and who wouldn't want that?!?! ?

Holy Software Update Batman, the R17 moved the steering wheel to the left!

I suspect you are more gentle on the accelerator pedal than me, and certainly more than my wife as we find them all too easy to spin up!

Amazing, thank you. I’ve removed my schedules and I’ll have a go at that later.

I’m talking about battery heating to get that last 2%, it sounds like it took quite a while to get those last 1.234kWh of power into the battery and most probably a lot more electrons for a tiny bit extra range.

I can’t get the octopus app to link to my myenergi account, Octopus say to disable any other apps that control the charger…did you disable the MyEnergi App? I’m using a Zappi and an original MG5 Excite.

I think I would have stopped at 98% as you are using a ton of electricity to get an extra 2% you said you didn’t need.

I had this same issue, never noticed it before and haven’t changed the tires our pressures, as you say only while doing motorway speeds but it was very frustrating.

I see that Tesla have opened their first V4 superchargers and these are designed to work with any CCS car…I wondered if that includes the humble MG5? I know they are blocked from other Superchargers for being too slow to respond!

Isn’t this a problem with all modern cars? They are so well insulated that they fog up really easily?
