    Trying to reject vehicle - any advice please? And should I get another one?

    MG's attitude towards honouring warranty claims is the worst Ive experienced in my 50+ years of motoring. In my experience and that of others try to duck out of any possible warranty claim. Clear example on here, experienced by many, MG5 and Open Tesla Charging, many MG5's wont do it giving an...

    Well done Joanne, interesting that the dealer concerned was Drive Direct, they are part of Drive Motor Retail who I had my problems with. Initially they tried to justify their actions stating that service work could be carried out by any level 3 technician, they didnt need to be MG certified...

    Having an EV tariff increases the daily tariff !

    With FIT you get paid for every kWh generated no matter how you use it, you also get additional payments if you export.

    Having an EV tariff increases the daily tariff !

    And that is still the case with Octopus. The only thing that has changed recently is that the maximum charge time for your car is 6 hours in 24. If your car had charged during peak times for say 5 hours and continued to charge for a further 3 hours during the off peak time you would be charged...

    This gets into an interesting area, the companies are charging for energy based on readings from a non calibrated / approved device which I believe is illegal.

    Eye Eye Guys and Gals

    So many things are different up Norf! It seemed logical what they said and I'm happy to go along with it. I have my post op check on the 28th April and my left eye being sorted on 1st May. Tut tut , still a rebellious teenager at heart eh? :D :D The only symptom I have at the moment is very...

    Eye Eye Guys and Gals

    They explained to me that they did go down the bilateral route for a year or two it shortened the patient overall healing time from 12 weeks to 4 weeks, used up slightly less of their time and they avoided infection by different batch numbers of consumables for each eye treating them as separate...

    Eye Eye Guys and Gals

    Well I have to say I’m most impressed. I watched YouTube to death on the subject and it looked pretty gory, my wife was completely traumatised last year when she had hers done. I was pretty much open minded very relaxed and most painful part was removing the sterile sheet afterwards. My pupil is...

    I wanted to do bilateral but they wouldn’t do them both at the same time. They’re concerned about infections etc.

    Eye Eye Guys and Gals

    Aye it is, I was shocked in that a) it was under 2 days away and b) they were working on Good Friday. It worked out well for me because wifey isnt working and can therefore convey me to and from the hospital.

    V2L function to power the house?

    I'm pretty sure I saw this week Truck Chargers are being installed in a few places, 1.5 MW, that's quite a charge rate! I quite like the idea of the catenary system being trialled in Germany. Trucks on motorways and major routes can connect onto a catenary system to charge the batteries and...

    Eye Eye Guys and Gals

    Well, this growing old malarky keeps turning up surprises. For the last 2 years of eye tests I've had developing cataracts, 2 in each eye just to be different. On Wednesday this week I had my referral appointment to have my cataracts assessed. They confirmed they were ready for doing now. When I...
