Re monthly bills. For me the only way I can get monthly bills on octopus go is to send in a monthly meter reading (reminder set in calendar) This is despite having a smart meter for the last two years.

Octopus Go price drop too In my area 38.58p day and 9.5p night rate From Friday 21st April

On the MG ZS if you have the auto hold selected so the car automatically holds when brought to a stop, then there's short delay when you press the accelerater to pull off, probably to alow the hand break to release. Don't like the delay so don't use it. Don't know if the 5 has this option but...

Hi, it's not a problem at all, I can totally understand what you where saying and feeling, been there myself and in some ways still there with the my MG, but that's another story. Not sure the hard reset of the software will do any good as the clip relates to Rapid charger's but thought it might...

Just a thought, but I remember seeing a U Tube clip where a MG owners car wouldn't charge after a issue at a public charger. He resolved the problem by disconnecting and then reconnecting the negative lead on the 12 volt battery and this solved the issue,. It's a easy thing to do and might be...

Are you on octopus go to take advantage of the 5p tariff, if so do you have the app selected to "don't charge above 5p as I do. This will give you some wild charging time prediction, I think it's because the car won't tell Ohme what the % of charge is in the battery at start charge. So the Ohme...

The (A) is selected and the red light is on. When I started using this function I thought what a good idea as I could never understand why the car crept forward/backwards when in drive mode, why not just come to a dead stop. My son tells me that this is normal on a auto ICE car and I can...

My ZS will disengage the auto hold after a short time, allowing the car to move forward. Caught me out three times while waiting for traffic lights to go green, as a result I won't use it anymore. I put it down to just another MG ZS quirk that one has to get used to and not use. 🙄

Hi, just to let all know, that after a lot communications with the supplying dealer it was eventually agreed to take the car to the new local MG dealer for them to have a look at the condensation issue. They concluded that the seal had failed and the cluster should be replaced under warranty...

Hi all I have owned a ZS for month now with abot 5000 miles on the clock , of which 500 miles are down to me. Getting to like the car the more I drive it after tentative start But there's a noise from the drive train that is niggling me and not sure if it's normal for a electric car. The noise...

Octopus had and may still have 2 offers on there website for OHME chargers if you signed up with them, they will also fit a type 2 Smart meter so you can make best use of their tariffs and the Ohme chargers, there are no exit fee's if you leave them at a later date. 1/ Was for a cable only with...

Thanks for the advice, still raining here so opportunity to have a good look. Other car in the garage, and not willing to put her out in the rain.

Had to visit the supplying dealer to pick up a set of wheel nut caps, showed him the condensation build-up in the lights, he suggested it was that the car had been stood on the lot for a couple of weeks but suggested I took it to the MG dealer for them to look at. But the problem is if the...

Forgot to say to Gomev's post about led fitments. There's a couple of interesting clips that relate to fitting LEDs that would suggest it's not a good idea in the back lights and it's a MOT failure in the head lights. There's been a lot of discussion over the years about LED bulbs in historic...

Thanks for all your feedback, if and when it stops raining I'll carefully remove and have a good look at the clusters and fitments, if there's no damage I'll dry them out in the airing cupboard, refit and see if it happens again. If I find damage then a visit to MG is a none starter, so will...
