I've used InstaVolt twice, never had any issues on my 5SR. Now, GeniePoint at Morrissons... don't get me started! In fact that's EXACTLY the problem... they never start! :rolleyes:

Interesting. Altho' the MG5 SR is my only EV experience, reading all the reviews of various brands & models, I have to say it seems pleasingly efficient even compared to the more high-tech models. My monthly averages in summer were 4.7miles/kW in August and 4.6miles/kW in September. My "whole...

I did get them checked at the first service, but they were spot on, apparently... I can live with 'em, tho'...

Just to chip in, I leave in a v.rural, completely unlit area (the "varicose lanes" of Powys) & have to say that even with Osram Night Breakers fitted, I find the light pattern to be poor compared to previous halogen-equipped cars. I think it might be something to do with the "projector lens"...

..We have terrible rough tarmac in Wales, see? 😂

Yup, fronts were shagged, well into the wear bars; the rears had a bit more life, but TBH they would have only lasted 4-5 months on the front If I'd swapped them around, so got the whole set done. I felt the OEM tyres grip was a bit "Meh" so hopefully the Michelins will be better, they're...

Cheers folks, it was parked overnight, and my bird went to work in it this morning, so maybe by the time she comes back it'll have sorting itself out... Ahh, tyres... I selected the Duke Ferdinand-Grand Godolphin Ruberoid 7's: ...No.... Wait... My bad, I got Michelin Primacy 4's: ....on...

Hi Folks, I wonder if any technical gurus out there can suggest a fix? I had the tyres replaced yesterday at Costco, everything good, I checked the TPMS before I left the site, all four tyres registered and pressures displayed, but then, after about 25 miles, the TPMS warning went off, and I...

Bit late to the party, but this was my Jun summary for my Standard Range: Just for context we drive in normal mode/KERS2 and live in rural Wales, so LOTS of up and down (I live on a 1:5 hill, altho' the top is !:4!). Don't use the A/C much TBH....

Seems quite fair.. TBH I don't really notice/worry about things like the "speedo flicking between 30 & 31..." (probably a rounding setting :)), and I love the ride, but I'm biased towards "soft" having had a few of the hydropneumatic Citroens. The only thing I'd agree with (sadly) is the...

Just a little update; I bought a secondhand (but unused) Google Pixel 3a handset (v.smooth operator, BTW) which came with Android 12. Plugged it in and Android Auto just worked perfectly. I guess it's always been the advantage of the Apple "ecosystem" compared to Android, having complete...

Ooh.. I'm with Bulb, but I've never seen anything on their site about an "EV rate", or am I just blind like SWMBO says? :rolleyes: Then again are they entertaining any swaps right now, as they're in "special admin"? It's a shame, I've found their customer service has been brill after years of...

I'm very pleased with my HyperVolt, altho' it's the only one I've ever had, so.... Ditto InstaVolt, they "Just work"... No app, no soddin' about; they seem to be one of the few that actually looked at how a self-service petrol pump works and said, "Yeah, that makes sense 'Pull-up - Pre-pay -...

Yeah, fitted a set of Cross Climates on my previous (Citroen Cactus), they were great. Then, when they wore out, I read the reviews and fitted the Goodyear all-season tyres (Vector? Can't remember). Worse dry grip, and noisier. I think the Cross Climates are great, I'd go with them again...

Got my recall notice today, so I 'phoned my supplying dealer (Budgen Motors in Shrewsbury), and they've booked it for the day as "sometimes the firmware updates take longer than expected.." ...Say.. Wha'? :oops:

I must admit, I've sadly given up... connection just seems to be a lottery on AA. Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't, sometimes it looses connection. I've got a Motorola One (vanilla Android 10)....

2200 miles so far, average of 4.2... Ditto Jomarkh, I'm going to reset the main trip shortly for the winter to see the overall affect in the cold months...

Yup, everything works seamlessly (Jinxed it!🙃), and they do seem to be added useful features..

I think it's a mindset thing; once more people buy into EVs and get into the "proper stop for a sausage roll and and pee", it will become the "new normal" (OH GOD! Not that expression!!😀). Besides, while you are going for said roll/pee, your car's recharging at the same time. The last time I...

Just posting this for general consumption: I got an update on my HyperVolt app, and it now has this: ..I'm certainly happy with the charger/app so far... Arf
