    MG5 won't balance charge (2020 pfl exclusive)

    That's high, IMO!! Was it previously a taxi? If so, I wonder whether the first owner did not "take proper care" of it. What warranty was it sold to you as having? If it has been a taxi I seem to recall that the warranty for such usage is pretty limited. From what others have posted here...

    MG5 won't balance charge (2020 pfl exclusive)

    No, or at least it certainly isn't for me. On one occasion I ran it down to below 5% and didn't experience any power limiting (just a realisation that I needed to be very gentle with my right foot!). How old is your car and what mileage have you covered? Have you owned it from new? Mine is a...

    @Mikel14 Did you notice that @Pe3k is in Slovakia?

    Steering wheel buttons not working

    I have exactly the same model, from new, slightly lower mileage (about 18.5k miles), same age but I've not experienced this particular problem! As you say, (very) "annoying", since, like you, I regularly switch between the ACC screen and the digital speedo. I assume the standard "switch the...

    Tesla app query

    Just tried this on my phone and got into the app almost immediately, so I don't think the portal is under any sort of attack. @DaevM the fact that several users are reporting here that they have successfully charged at Tesla Open Sites very recently rather suggests that Google just might have...

    Tesla app query

    Is that Tesla site one of those that is "open" to all EVs? If so, have you been able to charge there previously but can no longer do so?

    Recommend me a wireless Android Auto dongle for a FL MG5

    I bought this one from Ali Express. I leave it permanently plugged in and it just works; every time I get into the car and have my phone with me, I hear the phone "ping" to say it has connected and the AA screen (usually showing google Maps) opens on the screen. Mine is a Pre-Facelift model...

    Delay paying £190 car tax on EV until April 2026 (action needed before the end of March 2025)

    You can, but I assume you realise the recorded renewal date will be 1st March 2025 so your next renewal will be due 1st March 2026? If you're hoping it will be recorded as 1st April 2025 then you will be facing the £190 renewal charge immediately.

    Tesla app query

    I hadn't spotted this before your post. Unlike @wandle MG4 trophy I haven't charged recently at any Tesla Open sites, chiefly because there are none near where I live! However, I have successfully used them at least twice in the last year or so so I know my car will "work" with them. Opening...

    Tomato Energy - 6 months on…….

    Understandable, perhaps, but I'm now in the position that, even if TE are able to resolve the problem caused for them by the fact I have a SMETS1 meter, they can only bill me for 50% of the full cost of the electricity I've used since last September.

    Tomato Energy - 6 months on…….

    Just to reassure you: that info came directly in a phone call to me from the CEO of Tomato Energy after I raised a Formal Complaint (with TE) because of a lack of any bill and the fact the myWatts app wasn't (and still isn't) working for me.

    Adelaide time zone

    That might be because you have an MG4 but have posted in the MG ZS Hybrid+ forum!

    What a difference some believable weather makes!

    Agreed!! Prior to this current warm spell I was seeing figures at or around 3 miles per kWh, now they're at 4, or above. Happy Days!
