    iSmart App Digital Key not working - The fix

    This raises questions... Does the car show you how many digital keys are registered? Or could I bind my phone to an MG4 sell it, then go pick it up again a few weeks later using the app to unlock and drive away the vehicle?

    Charging MG5LR pre FL using CCS in France

    The left hand side is for a 3rd Party Mobility Card (I assume the likes of Bonnet/Electroverse). The right hand side says this: Lidl rate at no extra cost Scan the QR code on the connector you want to connect to. To authenticate, choose your payment method and confirm the charge. Take the...

    Wind noise over approx 55mph

    I have a very irritating squeak from the seals in the drivers door, it's annoying as hell, can't say I've noticed any increase in wind noise, but I do generally drive around with the radio in.

    What do you think of mg5 insurance 32d?

    The end of price walking (cheap intial then huge hike on auto-renew that a significant portion of people allowed to happen) and industry wide increases in costs mean as a whole insurance has gone up and if you previously shopped around, you'll find you were to an extent cross subsidised by other...

    Buying advice on MG5?

    Depends on if it's calculating a SOH based on expected vs actual voltages/capacity or if its reading a SOH rating the BMS is presenting. I don't know which.

    Buying advice on MG5?

    I was just coming back to say this. Depending on how the app determines SOH, being out of balance could be the culprit rather than a permenant hit to overall health. You can balance on a 7kw or granny charger I would suggest charging to 100%, balancing, driving it for 20-30% and then getting it...

    Buying advice on MG5?

    Some 2nd hand car dealers list their sales on AACars.com that gives the buyer assurance the vehicle has been fully checked and also gives a years free breakdown cover, you have to register for it.

    Buying advice on MG5?

    Sounds like the cars sat in a yard for considerable time for one reason or another. A damn good clean and some silicone spray should alleviate most of that. I would check the condition of the 12v battery and the brakes.

    Buying advice on MG5?

    The confusion around the app in some part is MGs fault. They don't make it clear what models are supported. For clarity first gen mg5s and ZSs don't work on the app and lack the hardware to ever work with it. With regard to your boot issue. Beyond a poor attempt at closing it when cars locked...

    MG5 will not charge at a fast charger

    1st Gen MG5 only have single Phase AC chargers. Infact most EVs only have single phase AC chargers in the Uk, as AC is usually for home charging and our homes typically aren't on 3 phase.

    Warning if you are thinking about going to full fibre broadband

    My understanding is the device is remotely programmed but holds your settings 'offline' I went full fibre with an Altnet (Gigaclear) and they left my copper in place so my adsl is still up as a fallback.

    Buying advice on MG5?

    Ideally you want the 'granny' charger 12amp 3 pin plug one end. This is the trickle charger all cars come with. Most owners are likely to shift the untethered type 2 cable to a new vehicle as they don't usually come with one. Some dealers also take them out and may chuck the back in the clinch a...

    Buying advice on MG5?

    3 can be triggered by not having your foot solid on the brake when powering up or shifting to drive before ready. Did it to myself previously. Not had a problem since.

    Only 6 days left to have your vote on the MOT

    For a period of time there was a very high % of French vehicles failing their first mots for mechanical items. So I get the reluctance on the 4 years change. You only have to look at America to see the shonky kinda lethal crap we could end up with driving around if there wasn't an MOT at all...

    A NOT SO short update on our British Gas Hive EV charger installation.

    Our new work Rolec units are government configured and will not charge between 8am and 11am or 4pm and 8pm. We have to apply to override this as we have our own 200kw solar array + BYD batteries. Should add. The solar is set in south/east/west orientations to catch morning sun and late...

    A NOT SO short update on our British Gas Hive EV charger installation.

    I discovered, through my installers ineptitude. That my EO mini 2 will work in dumb mode with the comms cable unplugged, should big brother start dictating when I can use it. It will be getting unplugged.

    Tesco stupid parking restrictions

    30 minutes after closing is usually to deter anti-social behaviour from groups of cars. Sometimes this isn't always the stores choice and stipulated by local councils. You'll likely find paying to park longer than 3 hours doesn't include outside of store opening hours. Some stores around my...

    Does the lady protest too much?

    I think many would be happy if the first step was them ensuring the chargers are maintained and in working order.
