    Really stupid ABRP routings

    I must admit, I've cancelled my ABRP subscription as I just don't get the use out of it I thought I would. I find Google every bit as good when I do need any charger info, so I prefer to save myself 5 Euros each month.

    Dash Cam 3M Adhesive Pad Alternative

    No, it wasn't Halfords, it was a specialist installer employed by NextBase. The pad was fine for 6 months, but as soon as it started to get hot and sunny, the pad just gave up. I've installed the spare mount now (myself), using plenty of acetone then alcohol. Let's see how long this one lasts!!

    Dash Cam 3M Adhesive Pad Alternative

    Hate to disagree, but the windscreen  was cleaned thoroughly (so far as I could see, using proprietary cleaner and alcohol) and the 3M pad was pre-installed on the mount. It was fitted on the windscreen by the NextBase installer. The problem arises, I'm sure, when the internal temperature is...

    Which EV route planning app do you prefer please?

    I just find ABRP very clumsy to use, especially if you want it to include a specific chargepoint to a route

    Which EV route planning app do you prefer please?

    I also have Plugshare, but haven't tried it yet. I'll see about using it for my trip from Bristol to York tomorrow

    Which EV route planning app do you prefer please?

    I took out a premium membership to ABRP, but am regretting it already. It is a cumbersome non-intuitive pile of...well, you know. I think it must have been written by the same people who produced the hopeless ISmart app! It's just horrible to use and never seems to work as described. I can't...

    Dash Cam 3M Adhesive Pad Alternative

    As did mine last year, but I think that's because I cut a piece of reflective foil to the same shape as the adhesive pad and carefully stuck it on the outside of the windscreen in line with the mount. I didn't want to do that on the MG because it looked a bit unsightly though. Also, my previous...

    Dash Cam 3M Adhesive Pad Alternative

    I'm afraid not, not this time. I cleaned the glass thoroughly using pure alcohol. The sun heats the adhesive to the point it softens and can't retain the weight of the camera. @Amun , it seems the adhesive pads provided with the Viofo cameras are also 3M pads. Looks like I'll just have to keep...

    Dash Cam 3M Adhesive Pad Alternative

    Can anyone suggest an alternative to the 3M self adhesive pads used to attach dashcam brackets to the windscreen? Every dashcam I've had always succumbs to the same problem every summer, in that the adhesive of the pad fails when it gets hot in the sun. Leaving aside permanent adhesives like...

    PCP Interest Rates

    I'm confused over interest rates, I hope someone with better financial knowledge can advise. MG currently offer PCP at 4.09% fixed rate p.a. They also quote 7.9% APR. Does 4.09% fixed rate p.a. equate to be the same as 7.9% APR over 48 months then? Lloyds Bank offer 4.8% APR over 48 months. I...

    Anyone interested in an electric shopping trolley

    It's not going to get scratched in a car park. Who wants to park near something that ugly :ROFLMAO: ?

    Anyone interested in an electric shopping trolley

    Looks just like my grandson's Duplo toy car, but more plastic looking!

    V2L - useful ?

    That's what I was alluding to Michael. For true V2H or V2G you need (amongst other things) circuitry to synchronise the output AC waveform with that of the grid/house supply.

    My phone comes from China ;) However, I'm in the UK and I can definitely see the Bonnet app on Google Play!

    Bonnet App - More Free Leccy Codes

    I've already got it, so not a concern for me, but I've just checked and it does seem to be still available ok on Google Play Store

    Technology Should be Simple

    It was only the paint that was holding it together in the end! I wish I'd kept the number plate though, it was a four digit, two letter arrangement. Worth a fortune nowadays!

    Technology Should be Simple

    We just want to be not unhappy some of the time! I haven't got my car yet (surprise, surprise) but I have been poring over the user manual. I now know why there is such a long lead time on these cars - you need a year to understand and learn how to operate them. Then, when you do, they update...
