That's what I thought, the replacement is just the metal disc which sticks to the control knob, as the adhesive is all the way round the disc it will be very hard to lift it off! Which is why I think they remove the knob to make it easier to lift the disc, will need to have a think!

Has anybody changed the silver centre disc on the drive selector? MG 5 pre-face lift. The centre bit of the 'P' fell out, I've got the replacement disc which uses a self adhesive pad all the way round. Will be a pig to try and peel it off in the car, so was thinking about taking the selector out...

Using the Ohme go evse with the commando type plug. Using Octpus Go which gives me 4hours cheap charging from 00:30 to 04:30 at 7.5p per Kwh. That ends in a few days so just setting up Intelligent Octopus, hopefully all should go OK.

It is very odd at the minute, bought my second hand MG5 LR exclusive in May 2022 for £28K with 2000miles on the clock. I thought I'd see what I would get for it now, a couple of dealers wouldn't take it as P/EX and one would, but only offered me £17'800, it now has 10500miles on it. That is a...

Here's mine for September, again always normal mode and KERS 2. Also included a trip up to York amongst usual commute to work and back. Had a number of days in the morning where temperature was between 5 and 8 degrees. Car had its first service yesterday 3/10/22 £79 plus vat which included the...

A mix of A&B roads, at the speed limit or just under. Air con on auto at 19 - 20degrees for most of the month. Normal mode KERS 2 Happy so far! The first few days of September have seen a drop though as the temperature has been in single digits in the morning!

No outbuilding. Garage at the end of the garden with no power, everything is against an install. Will look at insulation and replacement windows first I think and then putting everything on timers to run on the cheap rate. It's going to get very expensive!

Looks like I will change to the new Octopus rates then look at solar and or battery storage. It's a managed estate and they are funny about solar on the roof at the minute. So do I get a battery installed and charge that on the cheap rate, then hopefully later fit the solar panels. Can't afford...

Yes, hadn't realised that my Octopus Go fixed rate ends in Feb 2023. It's going to be an expensive winter for a lot of people that's for sure!

The rates are too high for me, 7.5p between 23:30 and 05:30 all other times it's just over 39p The standing charge increases from just over 23p a day to just over 44p a day!! I think I will stick with Octopus Go!

It doesn't appear to have affected the signal. For information, with Admiral insurance to make changes on line it's automated and you just have to select the most appropriate modification. It cost me an extra £5.63 for the modification, and another £9.50 admin fee!!!!!!! Even more if you...

Global tint did mine today, started about 14:00 finished about 16:45. All done with Luna tint apart from front doors, these had the legal requirement of 70%. Charged £270. Looks pretty good!

Here's mine for June. A mix of dual carriageway, A & B roads. Car was always in normal mode KERS 2. In the hot weather air con switched on to minimum (LO) and auto.

Cazoo bought my Vauxhall Corsa-e, all very straight forward and easy. I got back £500 less than what I had paid for it, after 3months of ownership and putting on another 3K miles. The did have it listed for over £3.5K more than they gave me, but I was happy for a quick hassle free sale because I...
