I have since requested quotes via MoneySupermarket and now, all of a sudden, I'm getting quotes of less than £500 from the same companies that were quoting £1500 plus originally and just last week not quoting at all! It's a confusing mess!

Again, true but more and more charge points are contactless payment and don't need an app. I wonder if it's possible to interrogate the car via OBD2 to get the data :unsure:

I should imagine it would if the car was only ever charged at home, but not if any charging is done away from home

Thanks @Swampy 👍. Yep, going to leave 'em in the glove box 😀. I have offered to get some IM5 manuals printed, as that's what is replacing the MG4, but no real interest there yet.

In my case, luckily I did manage to dodge the VED by retaxing before the change. Ironically enough, I was on my phone to my insurance company just as this response was posted. As my renewal date was coincident with the return date, I contacted them to see if I could transfer the insurance to the...

True that. I rang Ageas for a quote and to start with they said it wasn't coming up on their system but when pressed said that I needed a registration number. C'mon, either or please!

I'm rather concerned that most (if not all) of the larger insurance companies are either not quoting for the IM5 at all (e.g. my present insurer, Ageas) or are asking astronomic price hikes up from my existing MG4 (i.e. £1500+ for the IM5 100 LR compared to £390 for my MG4 Trophy). What do they...

I'm returning my car (MG4) to the bank in a week or so (negative equity etc), and I'm preparing a list of "Got to do's" before the car collection guy turns up. If there's anyone who's already been through the procedure, can you tell me if I've forgotten anything please? Here's my list (so far)...

I've been quoted 9 Dec for mine so maybe it's on board 🤞

And they wonder why so many vehicles on the road are uninsured! What I find rather odd is the lack of big name insurance companies prepared to offer quotes.

I have no idea who I've upset, but now the delivery of my IM5 LR is imminent, I've queried Confused.com and Compare the Market again, and the quotes I had a month ago have doubled! Tesco and Privilege won't even quote. Even my existing insurance company (Ageas) won't quote for the IM5 or IM6...

Just assessing demand at the moment @Vipar . After a week or so I should be able to establish if it is economically viable. Assuming it is, I'll post details on how to order them👍

As some of you, ex or current, MG4 owners may remember, a few years back I was offering (at cost price) printed and bound copies of the MG4 Owner's Manuals here As a soon to be new IM5 owner, I've been asked if I could offer the same service for the IM5 (and maybe the IM6). So, I'm posting...

The reservoir is at the back, driver's side, of the under bonnet area:

I think I may have to do a little more bargaining!!:)
