    Rear Seat Removal

    I've removed the rear seat base a few times now - it does require a reasonable amount of force as @severs1966 says. If I need to put a a lot of stuff in the back it certainly gives more space. I wouldn't want to do it too often though - always a little worried about damaging the seat, which is...

    Any dates known for Marvel R to UK?

    This thread seems to be the latest info - not what you want to hear though. I saw one in France recently - looks very nice.. Release Date in the UK

    First public charging - nervous?

    Those screenshots look good - I might try that app. It'd be great if it all worked easier in real time. My ABRP kind of does and I used it instead of Google Maps on my last big trip. I found it pretty good - especially as my wife is no help at all in doing any searches for chargers whilst on...

    First public charging - nervous?

    I finished my third big trip in April - down to south of France. I used ABRP live data - via an annoying OBD connector. Few teething issues, but it did help a bit - updated the route to let me know I could drive a bit further to the next charger, which saved time on a 400+ mile journey. It also...

    Using Economy Mode.

    I've changed my habits a bit. Always change KERS to 3 but don't bother with Sports mode as I wheel spin too much - Normal still works fine for beating up ICE vehicles at the lights. Economy is great on on long trips - just calms everything down a bit. I often override the AC econ setting if...

    Tesla Charger compatibility

    Hi all. Currently on holiday in France in my MG5 <2021). Tesla Superchargers are available in some locations, I tried charging at Folkestone and again in France. The Tesla app worked fine, however each time it didn't start charging. It appears it can't recognise it? Anyone else had issues or...

    ODB Reader for ABRP live data

    Thanks for the insight. I use ABRP in much the same way so this is likely to be an interesting addition rather than a must have.

    ODB Reader for ABRP live data

    Hi all, After reading a few threads about this I decided to waste some money on getting an ODB reader. I'm not too interested in getting in depth diagnostics or anything like that, but was interested to see if it would help my ABRP route planning app work better by allowing it access to live...

    MG5 vs Skoda Enyaq - three in the back

    Interesting feedback @popcorn . If I'd got keen and ordered an Enyaq I'd have 12 months to wait, so hopefully bugs would have been sorted by then. I totally agree with your cost/benefit analysis though! You'll see a few niggles about the software - esp. Android Auto. Although since the last...

    France is Cheap - thanks to Granny Charger

    @JohnInFrance - Fair do's - I will know for next time. It's interesting that I've seen loads of chat about planning trip etc, but never much about this subject before. In order to estimate the power used - Forgive me if this is overly simple, but if I arrive at 10% and charge to 60% then can't...

    MG5 vs Skoda Enyaq - three in the back

    Agreed. I think in general not enough is made of the fact that EV's are just so nice, quiet and relaxing to drive. I find the MG5 great on longer trips, where I've been doing pretty much all the driving - much less tiring than my old Diesel S-Max.

    MG5 vs Skoda Enyaq - three in the back

    Yes thought the ID Buzz looked good but they're certainly not cheap. Kind of a niche appeal..

    MG5 vs Skoda Enyaq - three in the back

    I went for a test drive in an Enyaq iV this week - to satisfy my curiosity.. Bit of context. I have three kids 11 to 13 - approaching adult size - so when we go on holiday it's three in the back (my wife is allowed the front passenger seat..) Previous car was a Ford S-Max - it has three evenly...

    Just two pins but I believe there is an earth connection at the top of the plug. Different system to UK plugs. Not sure if that made sense..😄

    France is Cheap - thanks to Granny Charger

    No it was fair enough. I expect that more formal arrangements will start to be made for this situation as EV's get more common. We had 5 days at a posh campsite-type of place where we had a cabin (Sandaya Les Alicourts - I recommend). We noticed a few other vehicles about also plugging in.

    France is Cheap - thanks to Granny Charger

    It was just a bog standard euro adaptor that you get in any services. It seemed OK - I was worried about it overheating so checked a few times and it seemed OK. I also tried to charge in evenings when it was cooler

    Ouch! Fair enough @smokie . When we stayed with a host on our ski trip I did ask and they had no problem with it. Maybe I should have raised it. directly. I will go off and search for my moral compass..
