    Tomato Energy

    Maybe business customers are a little later down the pile? who knows, I'll keep fingers crossed though. Have I mentioned I cant stand British Gas ? :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:

    Tomato Energy

    We haven't had notification yet, maybe it's because we have a switch in progress to Smartest, they confirmed we will switch on Friday 14th so I guess it's wait and see time. I'm keeping my fingers crossed we don't end up with the worst energy supplier in the land British Gas.

    Tomato Energy

    We can but try LOL. We use around 400 kWh per week , 70 kWh per day in 8 hours so my thinking is around 21 kWh out of the MG and the balance from a battery pack in the boot. The inverter(s) would stay on site and the car charged at home during off peak I would also have a small 8kW diesel...

    Tomato Energy

    I have spoken with Love Energy today and they say we can still initiate a move which we have triggered to SMARTEST. The rate is slightly lower than Tomato but they do have a Daily Standing Charge of 70p. The net result is we will pay about £20 per month more than with Tomato so not too bad. If...

    "I'm in a bit of a fix at the moment"

    My first email to the company was within 15 minutes of arriving home, there was then time wasted waiting for responses from them and from MGUK. MG were initially bad but on Saturday they were amazingly quick.

    Not a bad shout and I will drop him a message, I have also emailed BlackBeltBarrister to see if he'd like to discuss it on his channel.

    I hope so, I prefer to have the agro now with the dealer rather than 18 months later when MG refuse a warranty claim or Santander don’t accept the return.

    I didn't know if that applied to PCPs, thanks for the info and I'll bear it in mind, I do however feel they owe me 50% of my deposit back along with 1 year of service plan payments too.

    I have emailed them again putting my options to them, I await their response.. I am grateful to the technician who wrote the notes on the check sheet, without that I wouldnt have had a clue.

    "I'm in a bit of a fix at the moment"

    Yes, I understand that and the paperwork supplied details that too: As you can see above, 2nd year is a 'B' service. Items 10 & 11 require on either service for the car to be connected to VDS and this wasn't done. Item 8, 9, 14 & 18 wasn't done either. Item 28 wasn't done, item 29 they...

    "I'm in a bit of a fix at the moment"

    I agree it's their car and their problem which is fine and nothing for you to worry about. For me I have a PCP with Santander via MG, they have a guaranteed Minimum Value of £16,000 at 4 years old and 6000 miles per annum. The car isn't worth that now yet alone another 2 years later, I'm sure...

    "I'm in a bit of a fix at the moment"

    Well first of all I dont see why VAT registration would be a prerequisite and on most modern cars access to the official dealer only software is needed eg STAR for Mercedes, ISTA for BMW and SAIC have there own too. The service check sheet shows 2 items requiring the use of dealer software -...

    "I'm in a bit of a fix at the moment"

    Aye, it's not a great position to be in. I'm not naming the dealer group yet due to potential legal action, I will name and shame later though when the fat lady has sung.

    "I'm in a bit of a fix at the moment"

    100% agree, MGUK are blameless here, it's the dealer group thats screwed this up.
