    I don't doubt it, but it's the way things are and I just wanted it done.

    Tesla Supercharger Issue MG5 LR

    They told me they would just charge for labour so cost would depend how long it took them (estimate was 'up to an hour'). In the end it took half an hour.

    Tesla Supercharger Issue MG5 LR

    Sorry, I had a good look but couldn't see any numbers without taking the whole engine bay cover off which I couldn't be @rsed to do. Anyway it all got done yesterday successfully, and no surprise I got charged for the technician's time which came to about 70 quid, so not bad to have the peace...

    Tesla Supercharger Issue MG5 LR

    Booked my pre-facelift 22 MG5 in for next month - 3 year service & MOT. I asked about the update and even said that if it couldn't be done under warranty I'd pay for it (after all, it's not the dealer's fault and life's too short to spend time arguing the toss). After the receptionist checked...

    CD Player for our new 2024 MG4 Luxury

    Parking ticket by text - convincing scam

    Personally I wouldn't trust a parking penalty demand that came by phone. Once you entered your registration, a scammer could theoretically find out where the car was registered and tailor the location of the 'offence' to suit. Check out the number that the text came from on 'who called me' and...

    Free Energy

    Car charging, solar battery charging. And if I had anything else to plug in, I would. No washing to do, no drying ready. I'd usually be running off the battery at this time of day, so hopefully mostly free.

    Service costs

    I don't know, but I would guess it's the actual mileage at the point of the service.

    Service costs

    Ah yes, should have remembered to say that I got a 'low mileage' service price. The normal one was nowhere near what you've been quoted though.
