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...

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...

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.

BBC Rogue Traders? that would be a real coup and / or Watchdog LOL

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.

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 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...

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 -...

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.

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

MGUK I have no problem with, their T&C's are published etc, they dont seem to tolerant of non compliance though which is their right and I also feel I'm likely to be a victim of non compliance.

When I purchased the car, I purchased the service pack with it so I knew upfront the running costs etc and of course it gave me peace of mind knowing it was main dealer serviced. Unlike the BMW service pack, the MG one was supplied by the dealer group so I'm not free to use an MG dealer for the...
