If it's bombed out due to AA cable getting jiggled. I find pulling the USB out and then holding to reboot has better results. Every time I've had this kind of issue it's been related to the phone/cable - me knocking it, passenger poking it, violent bump. My daily use USB cable lasted around 18...

Most likely completed the forms fully. Like the roof rail certification, I very much doubt the SR and LR are any different apart from paperwork that means one is 50kg and the other 75kg.

Mg5 pre-face-lift models do not have type approval for towing. Any vehicle first registered after 1998 requires type approval for a tow bar to be fitted. Nobody can legally fit one, so no one is going to manufacture one to fit. Making your own/adjusting one that's available on the market is also...

I would also guess taxi. Check wear and tear on drivers seat and the rear interior, there's usb charge ports in the back of the centre console, they can be a victim to clumsy passengers. Taxi use voids warranty so be aware of that. Make sure its had all of its services and check the battery...

My 2 cars went from £760 to £800, which I was OK with, given the average increase reported is 25% Theres a lot to be said for using a specialist broker, if you have more than vehicle or a specialist vehicle give Howden (formerly A-Plan) Thatcham branch a call. Worst case scenario, you trade 30...

30,000 miles - 2 years.. £24 in personally purchased sparks (free charging off works solar). Vs the yellow thing that at last check was 38p/mile. One still makes me smile more than the other though

I do have my eye on the higher end model mustang EV for when the MG is up. A nearly new/low mileage offering is quite attractive

Just renewed my MG and it's about the same price as last year. 16k miles sdp+commuting and it's £550. Did a multi-vehicle deal for £800 to cover the MG and Mustang and can bolt on my other vehicles when they come up for renewal. Howden Insurance (not the kitchen people) formerly known as...

I would guess business use (private hire most likely). Mine will hit 30,000 next week. And be a week shy of 2 years old and I just use it for commuting.

State of Health. It can only be read with a ODBII reader. Like all things with rechargeable batteries, EV high voltage batteries deteriate over time. The rate of this isn't linear and is also governed by treatment. Much the same as an ice vehicle, you rev the nuts off it when it's cold, it...

I've not had the halfords -20 premix freeze on me yet. But other stuff has frozen the nozels and then smeared salt across my vision instead. That was a fun commute.

As an EV is essentially a computer on wheels the 10mm spanner is for the "turn it off and on again" process of disconnecting the 12v battery, which fixes a significant number of issues preventing onward travel. I have 2 in my car as I lost the 1st one and ordered another, subsequently finding it...

The Mustang Forum are quite anti-any model newer than 1970's - the reaction to a SUV using the Mustang name, and being EV has been incendiary.. Wouldn't rule one out for my next vehicle. Would make the club meets prickly though.

You need either a compatible vehicle, or a compatible charger. The MG isn't compatible, but Ohme or Zappi chargers are. Those with Mgs that have signed up have integrated to IOG with a compatible charger, which allows them to charge any EV on Intelligent.

To confuse matters, octopus renamed their products. Go became 'flexible go' no longer a 12 month fix (means you're included in the price cap) and the rates are reviewed quarterly. Intelligent became 'intelligent go' not sure if they changed anything fundamental beyond the name with this one...

You need to sign up for iO by integrating through the Zappi, not the MG (that doesn't have an open api)

This is definitely the point, the answer depends entirely on the users needs. In most cases the evse install costs won't be realised in savings in a single vehicles lifetime. For me it was convenience, plus confidence that I could recharge the vehicle enough for a round trip to work (70 miles)...

Pay diagnostics for a well documented safety recall? That service manager needs their head checking.

Only way is a Faraday pouch. Can't sit on the keys by accident if it's in a pouch.

Depends on how much you need to charge and how often. A £1,000 for a 7.2kw evse doesn't necessarily pay for itself by putting more of your charging into the cheap hours of flexible Go, it starts paying itself off a lot faster if the alternative is needing to top up at a public charger as the...
