The one I bought to cover the period before my wall charger was installed has a smart plug fitted.

UK Government have found a way to charge: so 3p/mile for electric car usage.

Do you mean speed limiter or cruise control? I have a cruise control that I can set that works fine, don't seem to have manual speed limit control; however, I have found that if I select the cars navigation system it seems to reset the speed sign recognition issue.

OR. Only plug the car in during the day for emergency top ups and don't leave plugged in - which defeats what Octopus are trying to achieve, OR. Only plug in at night to take at advantage of the 6 hours without go over.

It's rubbish! My Toyota RAV 4 used gps and that worked fine, the MG system using the front camera is a nightmare.

I'm finding the speed limiter a bit of a problem. Sometimes it sets to 105 in a 30mph zone and in others it suddenly goes to 5mph and like you brakes the car and you have to be quick so you don't get rear ended. Additionally it has now started to put 3 dashes when going from 30 to unrestricted...

Back to normal now. Happened after my wife had the car and she does not link her phone to the car. Still not convinced that the control system and processor speed is the best.

I use the speed limiter so that I can concentrate on the driving and looking at the road ahead rather than watching the speedometer. It can be frustrating as other cars disapear off into the distance though.

Thanks. I'll give it a try next time out. I normally use the google one as much prefer, didn't realise it was GPS controlled thought it was sign recocognition through front camera.. Never had any problems with my Toyota RAV4.

Yes, can be quite dangerous if you come off a traffic island in 50 zone and the car detects 30, car brakes and car behind can/could run into the rear. Not been hit but this happened to me. You are able to turn off the binging and bonging and just have flashing limit indication. My problem is...

No, cleaned to make sure. Also, when going from 30 to 40 display changes but 40 to unrestricted just goes to dashes on display and nothing then works on speed control.

Restricted speed (60 or 70mph) just shows dashes and traffic speed camera warning stopped working. Other speed limits work when they feel like it. Anyone else had these problems.

Very good. What speeds were you doing?

Yes. I use speed limiter all the time but have to keep an eye on it as at times it seems to have a mind of its own. There are certain places on my regular trip where it always switches from 30 to 40 and I can't see any reason for it. I have also had it drop down to nothing! and the car braking...

Must be an area thing (pk rate 28.96p just checked and 23:30 - 05:30 7p its gone down, sc 45.42/day) Living in the fens reasonably close to a wind farm has its advantages after all.
