Confirmed on my brothers his IOG not working was due to the CT clamp being installed backwards by the Octopus engineer when setting up the Zappi. Explains all the headache he had trying to schedule charges with the Zappi and it randomly starting a charge after he got home. Always worth checking...

I'm referring to powerline based extenders. These use your home electrical circuit to transfer data between 2 points, often used to extend wifi or fixed wire network to a device. This data can be detected by smart chargers and cause havoc. If you don't know what these are, you likely don't have...

My brother is having same issue with his Zappi. Theres 'noise' on his electric that's interfering with the scheduling. Do you have any smart plugs, or plug in WiFi extenders/powerline network adapters. These can all cause noise on the circuit. You car doesn't have scheduled charging or an app...

I would check rear shocks. Could be the source of the shaking and the oily substance.

Got 32k out of my fronts...clearly I missed a memo somewhere.

If it's bombed out due to AA cable getting jiggled. I find pulling the USB out and then holding to reboot has better results. Every time I've had this kind of issue it's been related to the phone/cable - me knocking it, passenger poking it, violent bump. My daily use USB cable lasted around 18...

Most likely completed the forms fully. Like the roof rail certification, I very much doubt the SR and LR are any different apart from paperwork that means one is 50kg and the other 75kg.

Mg5 pre-face-lift models do not have type approval for towing. Any vehicle first registered after 1998 requires type approval for a tow bar to be fitted. Nobody can legally fit one, so no one is going to manufacture one to fit. Making your own/adjusting one that's available on the market is also...

I would also guess taxi. Check wear and tear on drivers seat and the rear interior, there's usb charge ports in the back of the centre console, they can be a victim to clumsy passengers. Taxi use voids warranty so be aware of that. Make sure its had all of its services and check the battery...

My 2 cars went from £760 to £800, which I was OK with, given the average increase reported is 25% Theres a lot to be said for using a specialist broker, if you have more than vehicle or a specialist vehicle give Howden (formerly A-Plan) Thatcham branch a call. Worst case scenario, you trade 30...

30,000 miles - 2 years.. £24 in personally purchased sparks (free charging off works solar). Vs the yellow thing that at last check was 38p/mile. One still makes me smile more than the other though

I do have my eye on the higher end model mustang EV for when the MG is up. A nearly new/low mileage offering is quite attractive

Just renewed my MG and it's about the same price as last year. 16k miles sdp+commuting and it's £550. Did a multi-vehicle deal for £800 to cover the MG and Mustang and can bolt on my other vehicles when they come up for renewal. Howden Insurance (not the kitchen people) formerly known as...

I would guess business use (private hire most likely). Mine will hit 30,000 next week. And be a week shy of 2 years old and I just use it for commuting.

State of Health. It can only be read with a ODBII reader. Like all things with rechargeable batteries, EV high voltage batteries deteriate over time. The rate of this isn't linear and is also governed by treatment. Much the same as an ice vehicle, you rev the nuts off it when it's cold, it...
