    MG5 not charging.

    IMHO it's worth trying the DC charger again now you're back down to 74% - if only to help pinpoint the issue.

    MGS5 Trophy Long Range - 3 phase charging ?

    You will love me then.... ;) Cars with 3-phase 11kW chargers (like my VW and also MG4ER) internaly have 3 x 1-Phase 16A chargers. On a 3-Phase supply they run one per phase for 11kW total. On a 1-Phase supply they run 2 chargers in parallel for 1-Phase 32A = 7.4kW. You will, of course, need a...

    At The end Of The PCP Contract

    Are they reasonable costs, or do they take their pound of flesh?

    MGS5 Trophy Long Range - 3 phase charging ?

    Eh? EV's with with 3 phase-capable inverters will also work with single phase supplies.

    V2L power wash

    Worst case should be that the car's V2L inverter just shuts down and you need to reduce the load and restart V2L output. But, best to play safe, I agree :) The other concern that just crossed my mind was earthing and RCD protection, but I checked and that pressure washer (and I suspect most...

    V2L power wash

    OK - that makes sense as you have a V2L adapter that can deliver more power than the official MG one, being 16A vs. the official 10A output, combined with a relatively low power washer. But it works (y).

    This is hilarious

    That's good to hear and obviously you have a lot of real-life experience compared to the rest of us, who can only go by info we have read. Would it be possible to share with us the (approximate) cost of the 'Superwind', including installation and any production figures from using it over the...

    First MG EV Charger recommendations & ismart app expectations

    First you will need to know how much and often you need to charge. A basic 'granny' charger could work well if your needs are low and you'll save £100's by not requiring an EVSE installation. IIRC that setup has worked well for @salty despite him having a less-efficient right-foot XPower.

    V2L power wash

    I'm surprised it worked, but it will all depend on the power of the washer motor and its inrush current. Would be good to let us know what model jet was you were successful with. I'm also a bit puzzled as to what situations you can get water supply to your jet wash with a hose, but not power...

    Uh oh...

    No... that story was a year old. We suspected it wasn't true at the time the link confirms he had been charged with fraud and dangerous driving! Guess he just realised he'd been zapped for speeding and then pretended it was the car's fault :ROFLMAO:

    2 days until purchase

    Welcome.... My 2p worth would be to check that it has been serviced correctly to MG's schedule, which is, IIRC, every 12 months or 15,000 miles, whichever is the soonest, with a leniency of only 28 days or 1000 miles. That will ensure that the vehicle is covered by MG's 7 year warranty. If...

    MG4 won't start because it thinks it's plugged in

    Surely the AA tried that trick?
