What kind of mix of AC/DC charging are you doing? I'm looking at 15k commuting a year, so I'll hit the mileage limit before the 7 year warranty. But this far it's 99% AC charging. Selling the car on at 70k miles at 5 years old will be easier if the SOH is still in the high 90s.

Randomising the start by a few minutes for scheduled charges is a good idea. A few minutes either way will stop that sudden bang of everyone coming online same time. Not sure how I would feel about potentially slipping out of a cheaper tarrif rate though by 15 minutes.. Which is where...

Exfat or fat32 No more than 1,000 files per folder and the audio files need to be in specific formats. I'm sure someone will be along with the full list.

My LR is 180 miles on a full charge, based on the last reset of the trip 2 months ago. Cold wet and dark is likely to hit for up to 30% off your total estimated range. This is why I went LR, I wanted/needed the ability to drive to work twice without charging (150 miles) with enough wiggle room...

Well you did ask if they do deals for cash.. With all the money laundering laws paper money doesn't talk, and paying for a car without finance is likely to cost you the same, if not more. These days everything is geared towards finance, as its the finance that earns them money. Generally...

DRLs are sealed units, if it's faulty, whole unit needs replacing. Definitely get it to the dealer for warranty.

If it's your first EV, chances are you will not be driving at full efficiency and with the possibility of temperatures being in the 5c range. Personally I would plan for charging for 15%—20% to give that bit of comfort, the range anxiety alone when you're in that final 15% will be enough to...

The fingerprint is fast, your usb needs to be formatted in a certain way and ideally below a certain size. The problem is that this naviextras process only updates the sat nav maps, and that version number relates to the sat nav, not the infotainment system or car software level. You need to...

Limited to certain vehicles that provide Octopus with access to their charge state and charge timers by an API or to certain charger brands (currently only ohme) that provide octopus with the ability to remotely trigger a charge.

Whilst I can't answer most of your questions, I can draw your attention to the fact that the Ohme works with Intelligent Octopus, giving you a cheaper electric use window at off-peak and any charging octopus does with your car during peak hours to balance the grid is also charged at the off-peak...

I suspect any overhaul that sees EV pay a similar tax level to current ICE pricing. (for example cost per mile equiv to an average mpg vehicle pays in fuel tax, plus road fund licence) will also see ICE taxation increased to ensure people switch over. I noted that Diesel is back over £1.90/L in...

Unless they're planning a complete vehicle tax overhaul, which will take significant time to go through parliamentary process. Any new taxes will only apply to newly registered vehicles, as has happened over the last few changes. Personally I thought the idea of everyone paying the same, and...

Worth noting the MG Assist includes out of charge cover. Personally I use Start Rescue personal cover, as this covers me for any vehicle I'm in and anything over 10 years old is usually not covered under general breakdown cover.

Any update about this?, if I was a cat I would have been dead so long ago.

You've had the car 3 weeks. The original battery on the other hand may have been sitting on a storage yard in China for 9 months in various states of discharge whilst your vehicle was waiting for parts to finish and ship it. There's been many others on the forum that have had issues related to...

Another forum member had this and the vehicle had been fitted with a telemetrics box, seemingly as a cancelled fleet order. It was plugged into the odbii port and as soon as they pulled it out the car would charge fine. Returned to dealer to remove the offending box and question the dealers PDI.

Signed up, worth a look, with notice I can adjust mealtime or cook something that uses significantly less electricity.

I'm aware, freebies these days are limited to non-existent. Seems all that people are getting, no matter the model, is more horse trading rather than a freebie.

Told them to keep the 5m type2 that came with infinity and they threw in the mud flaps in exchange. Picked me up from home on the 1st March to collect the car. Also gave me a very nice MG branded jacket because the finance system went to hell on the 1st March and I ended up in the dealers for...

Baby wipes are fantastic to get the dead skin gunk off leather steering wheels.
