(y) Impressive

Oy.. don't confuse me more than I am naturally... today's Saturday, isn't it :unsure:

I did :) But then I have solar to charge it :)

Is that an Android phone? If so, do you have GPS/location disabled (like I do)? For some nefarious reasons, Google require location to be enabled for BT to pair.

What do you have to do - we're on regular Octopus Go?

@tsedge - what's your view on reduction gear oil changes? Ironically when I was looking at Kia's that seemed to be a big thing worth doing (if you're going to keep the vehicle a while), yet wasn't on the manufacturer's schedule.

Out of interest, what are the prices like for the lamppost chargers?

(y) yes, it's (currently) a £425 supplement on top of the standard £195, payable for the first 5 years, though payable from year 2 (as first year is only £10). IIUC, that is.

I bet Waylands will make you an offer you can't refuse before those 5 years are up ;)

Maybe Cyberster drivers are not expected to have other cars that close behind ? 🏎️🏁

:giggle: That would certainly be my stance - especially for a relatively simple circuit. You can get component failures that are temperature dependent - so only present a problem when they get hot, but unlikely IMHO to be the case here. Fingers crossed.

(y) def worth a try.... being only about 40-50p each (if you buy them in packs of 6-10 for the moggy). PCB looks pretty simple too.

Sadly these days, with multi-layer PCBs and surface mounted components, there is little scope for board-level repair of such devices. Drying out the fob for a few days (airing cupboard / conservatory etc.) is a worthwhile and free exercise, but I wouldn't hold your breath. With a discharge...

Well... I'm not sure what they mean by "partially". A CR2032 battery is 3V and the resistance of human across skin is likely to be around 1M Ohm. As V=IR, that will result in a discharge of approx. 3-micro Amps. A CR2032 has a capacity of around 200mAh, so with a discharge rate of 3uA, the...

Hmmm... on re-reading the whole thread, you're right, the OP didn't explicitly say that. But I did refer to needing L2 and L3 connections in post #2 and in post #6 the OP referred the checking L2 and L3 on his existing cable, so I'd be gobsmacked if he's gone and bought a 3-phase cable without...

Hmm - that's odd that @RhythMick's S5 has them then - maybe different models support 3-phase like the Gen 2 vs. ER version of the MG4 :unsure: edited to add - is yours an MGS5 or an MG5? Your profile says MG5?

Over the years I've had so many cases of technical/mechanical/builder type people trying it on and upselling things or over-quoting me and, on many occasions, quoting me more than they quote my husband. But with an engineering degree and lifetime in electronics/software I can usually put them...

Presumably some MGS5 owners can just have a look at the connector on their cars to see if pins L2 and L3 are present? Obviously, pins being present won't guarantee that the car supports 3 phase charging, but if the pins are not there at all then it definitely won't be charging above 7kW single...

LOL.. thought that was 11.3 miles/kWh for a moment there! Still, that's 5.5 miles/kWh which is well impressive :)

Hmm... I'm never keen on suppliers/garages use of the word "should". Saying it has arrived in the UK and is at customs / similar would be more convincing. But, hey-ho, fingers crossed. If it does get fixed next week how long will that have been without AC charging capability?
