Yes it was a known fault. The garage replaced wiring loom I think but anyway they knew what the issue was.

Thread 'Driving through France to Provence' Driving through France to Provence Chargemap Card was a must have, really useful. Toll Roads are good so consider Bip and Go Tag. Tesla superchargers open to all south of Lyons. Service Stations a bit like ours, hit and miss. Tough leads adapter...

Anyone had their Air Con cut out sporadically when on Cold Air, Snow Flake button on, setting. Cold Air is being produced but it cuts out sporadically with the whole air con stopping. It then will only restart if the Cold air button is turned off and then the air Con button turned off and on...

Good info thanks. It does give details of torque in fitting instructions 1.2nm.

Building Regs I think: https://topcharger.co.uk/can-i-install-my-own-ev-charging-point/ However I have all the fusing and wiring in place but I think this article suggests a sparky is needed.

Sounds great. We had a place in Samokov some years back. We did the South of France last year, 2500 miles touring thru France. Thank goodness for Tesla charging South of Lyons.

Hi all I want to upgrade my Podpoint dumb charger for a Zappi charger. Has anyone got experience of this and if so is it something I can or should easily do myself? All the wiring and fusing is obviously in place and it would be a 7kw for 7kw charger. Thanks

Hi the garage fixed it with a new part as per known fault. They had to strip door twice and get authorisation from MG to do it.

Sure will do.

We hardly use the brakes. Always on regen 3 and anticipate stops.

I will leave them until I absolutely have to change them ie mot. This is the dealership conundrum, how are they going to make money and it seems that they are going to charge silly money for a set of routine checks Gripe over!

Lipped and coroded. To be fair they are, rear wheels only. I will start using the brakes more.

So just had 2nd service and it cost £220. Seems very expensive? They charged £1.25 for topping up the screen wash? £30 for a pollen filter. The car is leased which is a disadvantage when it comes to servicing. They then advised after a visual inspection the brake discs needed replacing. The...

So just had the toll road bill through from Emovis and here is a summary that might give people a rough idea of the cost - so this was a trip from Dieppe to Avignon/Orgon and we only used tolls part of the way: Prices in Euro's Orleans to Moulins 1/2 the way - 6.60 Moulins to Orgon part of the...

Yep south of Lyon we used Tesla all very easy. Once back up to Lyon and Dijon the number of stations open to us reduced even though we stayed in two hotels with Tesla stations in the car parks but couldn't use them. We then used Fast Neds and avoided Total as they charge by the minute. We...

'And finally' we got to use the Tough Lead at the camp site which takes the pressure off though my first impressions are that Provence is more geared up for ev charging than further north with quite a few zoes driving around and chargers available. 'And Finally Finally' I didnt have to wear the...

Moved on from Moulins to Saint Etienne mainly because there were lots of rapid chargers there. However quite a few bankrupt you with a penalty charge if you stay over 30 mins but found one in a shopping Mall where they had 4 rapids and all working. Then onto Montelimar to a Tesla SCS and kept...

So two service station chargers south of Orleans and both out of order but luckily there was a Tesla station open to all. Tesla envy! France feels a little behind us for non Teslas when it comes to chargers. Not many rapids at all, missing Instavolts at Mcdonalds. Rfid cards are a must and...
