    Moving to Octopus - current situation?

    Thanks Gomev for your ever helpful response. A friend has shared a referral code put appreciate the nudge. It's reassuring to hear the process is pretty swift. Sounds like the gas tracker takes 6 months but worth it in the end I guess.

    Moving to Octopus - current situation?

    Hi We're coming to the end of our OVO 2 year fix in a couple of weeks. We have looked at what's out there. We have a mark one MG5 SR. Over a year we use 5.6k kw charging the car and 5.3kwh on other domestics use. We were looking at getting a cheap overnight rate to charge the car and run major...

    Thanks Dave. Will probably wind up going with it for convenience as only 5 minutes down the road.

    Boot not staying open

    Thanks Alb. My son thought hydraulics related. Long wait for parts doesn't sound great but not much we can do about that.

    Boot not staying open

    Hi all. Have a 71 reg short range. Randomly the boot no longer opens normally. It feels heavy and won't stay up by itself. Due its first service shortly (£166 quote seems a lot 13k miles though) so will ask the dealer to have a look. Any thoughts welcome. Thanks

    Tinting & insurance

    Just to add Admiral quoted just under £10 for the modification. Online quote from GT of £210. Is this around the figure others paid? Will look to get this done soon. PS photos were really helpful, thanks for those and all the replies. This forum is fab!

    Naive newbie home charging cost question

    The answer to this is probably obvious to most. My 7kw home charger is finally due to be installed next week. I have been using a mix of granny and public faster chargers in the interim. In terms of cost of electricity, to get the same level of charge, is there any difference cost wise between...

    KERS clarification on mixed roads

    Thanks for the helpful response as always Smokie. I do sometimes feel I need to 'shift up' from Eco/Kers 3 if going uphill to get some acceleration.
