    Bargain Two Weeks Of Ownership

    Two weeks of ownership my thoughts on the MG5 SR Exclusive. I need to put my cards on the table. I am coming from Lexus ownership, being now on my 5th Lexus an NX300h. The MG5 is a budget car, so my expectations were not particularly high. The two-hour test drive just blew me away. The ride...

    7kW stopped charging

    My FL5 Trophy has stopped charging on all head office 7kW chargers. 10mm spanner trick not resolved it, but is now charging on the granny charger. Any idea what’s going on? Will try a rapid charger on way home.

    Heater
