    An unexepected event this morning!

    Had the car on charge last night (MG5 pre-facelift) and when I went to remove charging cable this morning I noticed all four windows were wide open. As it had rained in the night the seats were all wet. Windows closed fine, and all all seems normal otherwise with the car and it is charged up...

    Smart Export Guarantee Rates?

    My SEG contract with OVO energy ends in a few weeks time. I was paid last year at a rate of 4p/unit and exported 919kWh to receive a total of £36 for the year. I do hope today's rates are much higher now, I'd be interested to hear what's being offered by other companies.
