I have OHME at home so I don't change anything in the app but that's worth remembering (and recording here, for others to find!)

OK, that's interesting. I've not used the app a lot though I do go in once in a while to see what's going on. I can't see that setting, where is it please? (Maybe it only shows when plugged in?). I've never set Scheduled Charging, and it's turned off. EDIT: OMG I just found it, and it was set...

Oops, ta!!

Well it relates to an MG5 but happy to move it elsewhere more suitable?

Registered in Dec, mostly home charged incl on Monday to 98%. On Tuesday I went to visit someone with an OHME on Octopus IOG and we couldn't get the car to take a charge, and assumed it was down to complications of the OHME and IOG. So I went to some public CCS chargers and tried 3 different...

Similar everything to my '71 plater (except colour, I had the premium red) which I sold thru Motorway for somewhere around £10.6k in Dec. I was in a rush and it has some minor scratches on the right rear of the bumper, but tbh I thought at the time it was a reasonable price for a completely...

While I get the concept of rotation surely if you don't rotate then then they just wear out quicker on the front than the back, thereby spreading the cost across two visits (maybe even a year or more apart) for new tyres. I'm sure there is something in having the same wear on each axle but I...

Thanks for this, interesting. Is the account tied to a particular car (I suspect not), if not is there anything to stop 2 or more MG5 owners (or even a mix of different MG owners) clubbing together for the hardware, account etc? Once you've downloaded an update presumably that file would work...

What's SIPS??

Sold my 3yo one a bit back for £11.6k. :) Call your friendly MG garage and ask the annual cost. Your offer does sound a lot.

65 can be a good speed on motorways round here. I'm quite good with lane discipline and tend to move back to the slower lane once I've passed something in it. Then again I often find myself undertaking middle lane people rather than swinging right out to lane 3 even though I'm on a constant 65...

Daughter's MG ZS popped the water pipe leading to the rear washer during the coldest weather. It just came apart at the joint. It was clearly visible under the bonnet, just not reachable. MG dealer (somewhere near Birmingham) said they'd need to confirm the diagnosis for £130 before doing the...

Holy thread revival :) I'm not sure it's that uncommon, ISTR my Ampera worked in s similar way. I suspect it's a limitation caused by memory size (in the car, not the USB). I now have a large SD card in my phone for media and don't bother with USB data. That way it's with me all the time...

@Les burrows I guess you mean the ones at the shopping precinct near MacDonalds. I suppose it's fair to say I can't give an exact answer - it was very early in the morning (dropping someone off for a 6am flight!) and I was cold and only did a 2 minute test there - however I think they must have...

You asked about service costs - in my experience the pre-FL was very cheap, but I was able to get a "low mileage" service (seemed a bit random what that was defined as, but I never did over 10k miles in one year) - 1st was £47 IIRC, 2nd a bit over £100 and the third was going to be £150 incl...
