The DNO limited me to 5KW export despite having capability for 7KW. My son very close to me made the decision to go 3 phase as he has 8 KW array, batteries, 22KW charger 3 heat pumps etc. He doesnt have any limits. At previous house we suffered from huge voltage spikes but eventually the DNO...

The GOM looks at the miles per KWHr (accumulated), whether you are in ECO/Normal/Sport and the state of charge so can vary a lot for any given SOC. As a rough guide in winter you may only average 3.4 - 3.5 Miles per KWHr and in summer 4.5 - 5. But these efficiencies are very affected by...

If there is a key inside the car the bootwill automatically reopen so that it is impossible to lock your only key inside the boot, for instance if you put your shopping in and drop your key in the boot.

Thanks for the specs for alignment. In Normandy this week (fortuitously) and will look at my printout from Kwikfit on return.

Had the tracking checked this morning. All well in spec, see attached print out. Not sure why the system with my reg came up with "except Long Range" and whether this could be the issue. Did MG change the tracking etc for LR versions? The weight difference SR to LR is very small so doesn't seem...

My pre FL MG5 is wearing the tyres out very unevenly, the inner tread on both fronts is drastically more worn than the outside tread. Dealer at second service said that this is common on MG5s on both front and back and that tracking is not the cause, although I intend to get my tracking checked...

Just had mine done at second service and they charged £23 plus VAT for the bit. When I got the car back the fan was making strange noises so I took the new filter out and found debris in the fan. Clearly when they took the old one out it dropped down onto the fan. Cleared the debris, which is...

The whole Solaredge system is now working as it should, PV panels, inverter, batteries, immersion controller, backup (off grid switch) unit and car charger. It is a neat package and can be left on its own to put spare electricity where your priorities say it should go. My only issue is that...

Yes, poor use of words and should have said measuring points rather than meters! One CT is inbuilt in the backup unit and one is external clamped onto the main house supplier's meter tails.

Thanks for that information, hopefully the software update won't take too long and then it will all work ok. The problem arose because I have a backup unit and also 2 separate consumer units one of which is backed up and one which isn't. So there are 2 separate meters in play, one for the whole...

Update. Solaredge support has identified that my particular system setup has not been done before and it has revealed a software issue which they are now working to resolve. Solaredge support has been proactive and hopefully an update will resolve the issue.

Just had a Solaredge charger fitted. First charge for a trial worked but when disconnected the car then came up with a system fault and refused to power up. Disconnected the battery and the car then reset ok. Until this is resolved would suggest caution about Solaredge chargers.

Went onto BG EV tariff and it took nearly 6 months for them to get the smart meter (which was only 7 months old) to work and for me to get cheap electricity overnight. It cost them £350 in compensation once I got the Ombudsman involved.

Thanks Les will ask for it to be done and see what happens.

My MG5 LR (pre facelift) is coming up to its second service. Is the software tweak for Tesla charging applicable to pre FL ?
