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...

Hi everyone MG5SR owner with cheap two year OVO fix which ends next month. Struggling to find a rate worthwhile with the above combo of a Rolec Charger and EV.energy app. Would love to get on a cheap overnight tariff for charging plus washing machine dishwasher. Octopus looks appealing if I can...

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

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...

Hi all. 500 miles in and loving my SR. I know there are various KERS related posts but was there a definitive view specifically around the best (i.e. most economical) setting on motorways and fast flowing duel carriageways? My new job in January involves an 88 mile round trip mostly on such...

Seemed to have issues demisting last night and wondered if anyone had any tips on the best , most efficient way to do this please without unduly draining the battery. Tried various combos of fan, AC and front screen demister. Seemed to fog up quicker than a normal car though it was very foggy...

Finally took delivery of my MG5 Excite SR yesterday afternoon. Very happy so far but couldn't locate granny charger. Pursuing that tomorrow. Awaiting home charger. After going on a few journeys decided to use the dealer's own 22kw Rolec for a free boost ready for the working week. Set up was...

Hi. Still not finally decided on charger. Delays with installers quotes etc. Looking at OHME. Seen good reviews but wondered what you thought about getting some sort of box/cover so that charger/cable is not on view. Good/bad idea? Anybody got one? Thanks

Hi Newbie here. I'd posted a question about charging costs on the newbie thread, thanks for all the useful replies. I'm waiting delivery of my SR until my charger is installed. My local MG dealer, Unity, recommended Rolec (Tru-pen) and quoted @£350. A number of calls & emails later with the...

Another newbie question. I've seen mentions of a balancing charge. What is this, how do I do it and when/how often should I do o it. Many thanks
