I find this during longer journeys, with or without cruise control. I wondered if it was something to do with the steering rack getting warm/cold, or maybe the adaptive assistance reducing automatically when at motorway speeds. If I owned the car I'd be more worried but my lease ends in June so...

This sounds like some sort of fudge. One thing I've noticed on mine (1st gen) is that when I turn the engine off, the radio appears to turn off, but it holds the Bluetooth open to the phone. This means that if I'm on a call, it goes silent but the phone doesn't switch back to phone mode, it...

Mines on an unlimited mileage company policy any employee over 25 plus spouse, it's £870 a year, with Aviva Fleet. They're the only ones that would offer me a company policy for one vehicle. Simon

I have a BP Pulse subscription and I make pretty good use of it (at 26k miles per year I do a fair amount of public charging). I've only ever had a problem once and that was at Milton Keynes so no surprise there, as the chargers are about 300 years old now. The big plus point is the RFID card...

Every CP Scotland charger I've used doesn't let the plug go when it's complete. I have to manually release or ring them up.

Tiptree Tesco has a rapid? I didn't even know they had electric yet 🤷‍♂️😉

I guess with the Tesla chargers they are in public trials, part of that is to see how difficult it is. Wouldn't blame them if they decide not to bother opening it up further!

I'm seeing this more and more, gridserve had a problem with this that they've fixed recently, I never used to have issues with Tesla chargers until the last couple of months and now they never work. Since it's last update, my home charger now no longer recognises that the car is fully charged...

It is now. It's an increasingly rare 1.4 16V and there's only 141 of them left on UK roads now according to DVLA. For context, there are 271 Triumph Spitfire Mk IVs (1972 to 77ish) which is what used to live in the garage till I had kids!

🤣 In truth, still tucked up cosy in my garage!

Oh now there's a good idea! I remember years ago using the same trick to change the headlamp alignment on my 98 Puma when going abroad. I suspect the bits of string are still there 😁 Thanks.

During my trip back from Edinburgh Thursday I had my first major issue with the 5. Pulled over to charge at a CPS charger and the first one failed, leaving me with a system error on the car. No hope of getting hold of MG Assist, I decided to unplug and leave the car for 10 minutes to see if that...

+1 for just driving the darn thing. Okay I work for myself so time is also money, but to be honest the heater doesn't make a massive difference as far as I can tell, it's all about the outside temperature and having the headlights on. Driving into a headwind on the M4 in the dark with the wipers...

Mine is on ethernet and frankly it's not much better... It resolutely fails to charge at 12.30am and at 12.45 it works nearly all the time!

All I can say is don't get a ProjectEV wall box. I'm on my third one since July and it's just getting worse with each update.

I had this issue at Reading services westbound last week, two gridserve piles, both of which tried to start, then said my car sent "an unexpected message" or some such. Went along to the next services, exactly the same machine, started fine. Only charged at 30kw which was annoying as by then I...

Hmm. Maybe bend the fuse holder with a hammer and report it as damaged? Or perhaps not 🤣

Ah yes if it's like UKPN the metal ones need to be replaced so you would need to do the whole lot. Having said that is the power company insist on changing them then they shouldnt charge for it? I'd make a fuss, ask them what you pay your standing charge for.

We cook on electric, have two electric showers, some electric heated flooring plus the immersion and the car and have never gone above 80. Above 60 though, yes almost certainly! They should be able to change the 60 for an 80 with minimal fuss, as long as your tails from the fuse to the meter are...

That's insane, UK Power Networks did both of mine for free. Are you on a shared spur with a neighbour or something? Simon.
