    Smelly heater

    I have been having a smell when I turn the heating on in my MG5. It has a smell similar to when you turn a fan heater on when it has been sitting for a while. I use to think it was the smell of burning dust but not sure that applies in a car ! I have tried turning the heater up to max for a bit...

    USB trouble

    I bought a new USB to listen to music in the car. Put lots of music onto it from I-Tunes and when I plugged it into the car it came up as 'unsupported format' What should I do ? It is a USB 3.0 256 GB Sandisk so a good make and it works elsewhere.

    good park and ride facility

    Went to a park and ride for Edinburgh today to see the charging facility there....Pretty good with 32 AC chargers, 2 Chademo and 2 150 KW CCS. All in all pretty impressive but almost empty until lockdown ends

    Kers

    I am sure I read somewhere that if you have your car in Kers 3 that when it is activated the brake lights come on but in Kers 2 the brake lights remain off. I have looked at my manual but cant find it anywhere. Anyone know if it is true or not ?

    clamps for home charger

    I am going to have a home charger fitted to the front of my house for my new MG 5 due to be delivered in Jan/Feb. I have gone for the Zappi but am a tad confused about the clamps. I already have a clamp on my power supply as I have solar panels and the clamp is there to work with a power...
