Brown & Gammons, very established dealer are £233 for two posted, so that seems to be the deal unless you’re really happy to wait. I think my issue is I’ve gone from a 6 month old car to a 4 year old one so it’s inevitably a bit tired in comparison, but still new enough to deserve the right parts!

From what I’ve googled, if that’s OEM parts (and two of them!) that sounds fair enough. Ali Express was about £150 delivered. I’m looking into VW Golf/Jetta equivalents as they’re very close.

My 21 LR is showing signs of shock wear, only had it a day or two and doubt it’s bad enough to take it back, but I agree shopping for them is proving elusive, not to mention very pricy. As they are a very simple design, not geometric and the top mount is interchangeable, I’m going to tap up my...

Well I must have gone through a chunk of the SAIC MG catalogue, Mk1 3, GS, ZS mk2, 5SE, 4XP and S5 Trophy. All have been outstanding in their field regarding value, reliability, driving experience all-in and electrically at least super economical. To top all that off the residuals were better...

It’s funny that it looks kind of Passat-ish, as every friend I’ve known who had a one of them absolutely loved them and actually ran them til they could no more. So a PFL 5 is a less noisy, smoky and expensive incarnation of the same thing really!

Well, I’m having a bit of a career alteration and I started looking at the pennies (and liabilities)… So sadly I have done a deal at WLMG today to reduce the outgoings, basically handed back my S5, after just 7 payments and nil deposit, and equity was actually level 👏 Replacing it with a 65k...

Is that via Global data switch? Thought I’d turned data off with WLAN

I use the MG app for read-only when it comes to charging, let Ohme have full control over it. When on roadside chargers I just go max and do minimum comms, splash and dash if you like.

Switched off WLAN and seems to be better, parked up at the moment but will see when I leave here later. UK owner.

I’ve had my Ohme 8m tethered and IOG for 18 months and around 10000 miles over the MGs: 5SE, 4XP and now staying with my S5 Trophy. When I bought the XP it came with a £600 Octopus freebie - £300 home account credit and £300 Electroverse. I’ve only used on the road charging 4 times in total so...
