Thank goodness for fibre cables because without this invention copper prices would be far higher. Developing countries are still bringing electricity to large numbers of people and the citizens of developed countries keep buying goods that use copper. A typical EV uses a staggering amount of...

Hi, I have had a different bump issue, the built-in satnav stopped working. It would only restart after stopping the car, switching off as if about to get out, and turning back on. My MG5 is 2024.

Zappi Says 100% Charged: MG5 says 84% Just wondering if you have found a solution as today I missed out on a full charge from solar as Zappi decided the car was fully charged. I have previously reported an issue here of charging from solar stopping due to passing cloud. Today that wasn't an...

In other words, you have taken a stand against eco mode without knowing the facts. And you call others mentalist!

Thanks. A little knowledge...

For others struggling with the abrreviations above, I have today learned the following: GOM - Guess-o-meter - a device that estimates remaining milage given the battery charge ABRP = A Better Route Planner, a website and app designed for Electric Vehicles. BMS = Battery Management System Ohme -...

I looked into getting a cable for charging from points that do not provide one. I think what I need is a Type 2 to Type 2, 3 phase 32 amp. I would welcome confirmation or an alternative. But how long does the cable need to be to access most untethered charging points? Surely not 10...

Thanks for your reponse. I am on Octopus Flux.

Hi. I have a Zappi WiFi-controlled charger and when charging my MG5 Trophy direct from solar panels, the charging starts and then at some point cuts out. I raised with Zappi/MyEnergi and got the following reply. It looks like when the car is charging with solar and the sun goes behind a cloud...

The hard frost overnight left ice on both sides of the windscreen. This follows a lot of condensation in the car during the colder months. I have not used air condtioning during this time? Would AC help? Any other suggestions? I have been removing the cloth used to wipe the inside windows to...

I am not sure if you were replying to me or to 5teep who changes tyres at 30,000 miles. In case it was me, the front tyres current tread depth being 5mm suggests that the depth when new was 6mm. "Tyres with 6mm of tread should last between 20,000-30,000 miles. Possibly more." from...

I took my Trophy Estate for its first service four days ago with 5521 miles on the odometer. Everything was fine apart from amber warnings for the front tyres which are "beginning to wear on inner edges.". "Outer 5.00mm. Middle 5.0mm. Inner 5.00." The level of wear strikes me as unusual if not...

I had my car serviced yesterday and no bill as it was covered by my service plan On reflection, I blame Jermyn Motors in Eastbourne. Even though they lost the MG franchise, I still think they had a responsibility to inform me who locally had taken over the franchise and that my service plan...

Thanks for the further info. I will post when / if I get a reply from eDynamix. Having looked at my paperwork for the service contract, it is minimal and I meticulously file documents. All I have is an email setting up a direct debit. Very puzzling.

Thanks for replying. The key word is should. My query to MG Customer Services got a response that included, "Unfortunately, as customer service, we don’t handle any form of service plans." Service plans are profitable so why doesn't MG get involved? They give the benefit to dealers. Perhaps...
