Ok, changed the battery for a new 5yr warranty Bosch and the radio issue has gone with the reset. Would like to do the software update just in case. Your reply had a "here" but it did not do anything, can you give me the link? Cheers.

Battery is four years old and going flat so wanted to replace it. Now I have read that the radio module initialising message that came up a few days ago means the battery is being drained even when switched off. Another thread has said how to reset the module so that's my next job before I...

Hi, I need to change my 12v battery do I need to use a battery saver to ensure the software is happy after disconnection?

I am restoring a classic car and bought a paint thickness gauge before I started to machine polish. You can pick them up on eBay not expensive.

Hi, I had the same problem with my MG HS PHEV and thanks to another forum I think its solved the problem. The granny cable is heavy enough to not allow the cable to fully seat and so will not lock. No lock means no charge. I found I could wedge the socket cover under the socket when it was...

There is a similar thread on the MG HS PHEV forum with the same issue. I had the problem with mine, it said connecting but did not charge. The answer with the granny charger is that the cable weight distorts the plug and it will not lock. No lock so no charge. I found that if you wedge the...

Hi, I do as you suggest the charging cable turns green. Then I turn the power for the charger onto timer for the Octopus go cheap rate. When I check in the morning it has not charged. Any ideas?

Not sure if my issue is related. Sometimes when I plug the granny charger in the car say connecting but fails. If I remove it and reinsert the plug while the charge is active after a couple of attempts it starts charging! I now have to try it out before switching the timer out of manual mode...

Just moved from Octopus Flex to Go. Rate has changed from 13p/kWh to 9p/kWh, which is fine for the dishwasher, washing machine but the four hour window only gives about 20 miles of charge. For me that is fine for my normal usage and I just leave it plugged in for another night for a full charge.

Thanks for your update; does that mean in EV mode you use four of the six ICE gears or are they separate gears?

I believe the electric motor has two gears and it is this changing. If you look at the power gauge it goes down at the same time there is a pause. Anyone confirm my thoughts?

I am having issues connecting Android auto, my phone moto G50 is running Android 12 . No connection even with a Anker cable. My son plugged his Pixel 6 running Android 13 and no problems. Is it my phone or do I need a replacement running Androis13?
