Just bits from my toolbox 👍

just fixed mine :-

I always use the same, small bit of superglue and a sprinkle of Dr Bechmann Glowhite - also great for broken door mirrors, plastic bumpers (which im currently doing on my T-Roc underskirt).

We do around 15k miles a year with the MG4, and use 7000kwh a year intotal. I think Octopus know that 99% of users just plug in whenever, and I've only had a handful of times when it wont charge over the peak period, but has always been ready by the morning. Octopus has full control on how much...

Nice to hear how insurance should work together with all involved for an acceptable outcome for all concerned.

Yes, albeit only 3 bands - looks ideal for those with an EV & ASHP only.

It will be interesting how Tariff Information Labels | EDF develops with EDF - in recent weeks its been between free overnight to 17.86p on 21/10/25 overnight.

Thats how ours works, 95% of the time you just plug in and it starts immediately, and the house and EV is charged at the 7p rate - we dont touch any of the settings and let octopus decide when it wants to charge.

... maybe I've missed something here, but these are 10A 3-pin plug chargers🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️ - great for occasional use, but one does need a more permament solution, which also gives access to overnight cheap rates.

.. I think the conclusion is get an MG EVSE charger for occasional use / away from home, but get a wall box charger compatible with energy companies (e.g. Octopus & Ohme or Zappi) to get the low cost charging around 7p / Kwh or 2-3p / mile

LFP SE - Sept 22 model - from car scanner (but verified at service each year via UKMG) - no issues todate (aside from minor reduction in power @ <20% SOC at 70mph+) ... at this rate, the MG4 might see me out 🤣 🤣 🤣

I've got the t-shirt - melted 13A fuse / plug using a small extension lead (all within code, CE UK approved) https://www.mgevs.com/threads/charging-mg4-trophy-lr-how-much-do-you-get-at-home-in-4-hrs.15095/page-4#post-276020 Just be careful out there.

All parts are available from your local MG dealership - at least in the UK

I just got a Carlinkit FireDrive Link Convert Wired for £30

... only had this with dodgy floor 🤷‍♂️ 🤷‍♂️ mats
