It’s just missed a beat. Charged to 93% with the promise of 203 miles. Drove 3hours and 180 miles and that was too much for the battery. Even though I was showing a surplus of 40 miles of theoretical range over remaining distance, it all went Pete Tong as it got to 10% battery remaining. Car...

Basically everything you have said. 34k miles in mine. It. Just. Works. Some bits are a little low-rent but it was a cheap car. Biggest gripe is lack of interior passenger lights in the back.

What colour lights does the Wallbox show? There is an odd red/yellow one that is when there is an error. I found the number for the support line in the paperwork. It’s in Spain but they could diagnose the fault remotely. I got a brand new Wallbox swapped in by my original installers.

I am paying £376 for 20k per year over 4 years. That was from Nov 2022 and is not salary sacrifice. Seems the lease companies are fleecing the employer if the net rates you pay are close to what external lease costs are.

I’ve had rear springs too!! At 15k miles.

Here’s one of mine. Mitsubishi Evo 6 Tommi Makinen Edition. Shiny on top. Crumbly underneath. Currently in pieces waiting for funding to finish rebuilding.

I bought a 30cm connector wire from Amazon and that seems to have given me a consistent connection.

With the new app I found that when it reset my login details it also resets your charging target to 80% health mode. But the killer is that the “scheduled charging” was also switched on. I never use that because it overrides the scheduling by Octopus Intelligent. Was trying to recharge from...

Just adding my experience. My iPhone 14 no longer boots up CarPlay on connection to my MG ZS LR. It worked faultlessly for months before. Have tried a range of new cables and all the points listed above. My wife has IPhone SE and CarPlay works like a dream for her and for my kids who also have...

In the winter you will see that range drop lower and lower. Temperature has a massive impact on the range of the car. So does running the heaters in the car as you are trading range for warmth. Same for speed. You can look at the miles per kWh display on your dashboard for an indication. In the...

I think that Octopus Go is just a “time of day” tariff so it doesn’t care what charger or car you have got.

The SE does have folding mirrors. You push the mirror adjustment switch downwards to fold them in. Otherwise I could not get in and out of my driveway. The mirrors pop back out with another push down of that button. Or when you get to a certain speed. They are not heated though. There are...

I don’t think you need an Ohme. I have got Intelligent Octopus and have a Wallbox Pulsar Plus. I got an email recently saying the beta had finished and it was now officially supported. This is what I got from Octopus that Wallbox chargers now supported by them. The small print on Intelligent...

I have exactly the same charger. I do a LOT of miles - approx 20k a year. This week had to do 3 trips to Birmingham from South Wales. Had to charge from below 10% back to 100% overnight. Couldn’t do that on a granny. Cost of Wallbox install was about £1k but it is trivial in ppm terms and...

I have black, but keep it permanently filthy so you can’t see if there are scratches or dents in it.

I’ve posted in another thread that I have got Octopus Intelligent activated on my WallBox Pulsar Plus and MG ZS LR SE. It was quite easy to do. Although it is described as a Beta. Is this thread a specific problem for the MG4 getting on Octopus?

Thanks @Lovemyev That worked a treat. I am much relieved.

a new development for me. When I leave the windows down a bit for the dog and I lock the car then I find the doors ARE all locked but the boot ISN’T. Even without the key on my person I can press the MG badge and open the boot. Why does that happen? There is no indication that the boot wasn’t...

I had to post some settings in the Wallbox app. OCPP settings. octopus send you the things to key in. Then the Octopus app controls when charging starts and finishes. I didn’t need to do anything to the MG app. I just use it to set the master limit of how much charge I want. Usually set and...

I was on Octopus Go Faster for a year since I got my ZS LR. I paid for a Wallbox PulsarPlus charger to be installed. the tariff is like normal Go but I could choose my charging window. I had 9:30 to 2:30am so we could use the evenings cheap electric to do washing loads and stuff while still...
