Can anyone help? Bought a NEXAS OBD2 dongle, and using Car Scanner it connects to the dongle ok but it keeps saying can't connect to the car ECU. It goes round trying every protocol and failing. Maybe I have the wrong profile? I set it to MG5 2021-22. See screenshot. Thanks P

Hi all I've noticed a discrepancy on my MG5 PFL between the consumption reported on the dashboard and the one I calculated using the state of charge percentage before and after a trip. For example yesterday for a 70 mile trip the car reported a consumption of 4.0miles/kWh. However looking at the...

Do I wait for the car to tell me the service is required, or is there a max interval to keep the warranty going? My MG5 is coming up to two years in December, and I've had it 6 months

I am not sure of the reason for the constant bad press electric cars get - my experience is good: Very pleased with my first long trip to Hull from Croydon, and back, in MG mk1 LR. 500 miles covered in total. Two rapid charges at Newark (Osprey) and Cambridge services (Ionity) - both very rapid...

I got told off by airbnb owner for granny charging my MG5, in Oxford. Anyone had this experience? Is there any policy on airbnb. Together with my OVO charge anytime tarriff at home, the whole trip cost me £3 for 300 miles!
