    Charging a EV on hire

    Type 2, CCS, CHAdeMO? It's almost as confusing as: Left pump is diesel, middle pump is regular and right pump is high octane premium. The new space at the end will be for E5 and over in the corner is the LPG pump. Oh did you want 2 Stroke petrol? But everyone* is used to deciding whether...

    eCall - is it likely to stop working for some?

    I'm in Australia at the moment, where there is a lot of steam and frothy water being made over the imminent shutdown of 3G mobile phone services. I just wondered if anyone knows which network protocol(s) eCall uses. If it's 3G things might get juicy in the not too distant future.

    UK domestic socket charging

    I've used my granny charger a few times when away from home. Mostly when visiting my son. I bung him a few quid for the 'leccy. I use a short high current extension lead that has a single 13A socket on it, which fits thru his letterbox, and I monitor juice used with a small kWh meter mounted in...

    Mg4 trophy refused to drive off

    It's Ok during the day when I set the round knob to D for daytime but if I try N for nighttime after the sun goes down, the damn car won't move. It's even worse if I select R for Rain. The car insists on just going backwards.

    Mg M5 EV heater issues

    Well, a trip to the dealers seems to have had a happy ending (stop sniggering at the back). The story related to me was that the car was put on the diagnostic computer and a fault code (no detail) was present. The guy did a series of checks and found nothing except that one of the connectors...

    It's at it again.....infotainment screen upside down

    Awkward stuff, this tech can be Had a site visit donkeys years sinceupon - pre PC days, in fact. The client, a research bit of a major oil company, had an ISC3651 colour desktop computer. 8080 based, with a staggering 16k of plug in ROM for the operating system on the A3 sized mainboard and a...

    It's at it again.....infotainment screen upside down

    I wonder if the display screen is also intended to be used in some kind of HUD and is having the appropriate bits set at an inappropriate time. Maybe software corruption, a failing joint on a PCB somewhere of a failing chip. Whatever, it's off to the stealers

    You thnk the X Power is fast! ?

    I know what you mean. I'm not long back from a short holiday in Ireland, where I had a nice wee hire car. Pleasant enough but I weren't half glad to get back into my '5

    Pepipoo appears to be defunct

    Pepipoo appears to be defunct (the original owners didn't seem to maintain it, the forums part of the site fell over and it's effectively been abandoned). The good news is that the regulars have launched a replacement Free Traffic Legal Advice, at Free Traffic Legal Advice - Index

    Android Auto and Google Pixel 7 Pro connecting

    I used to have problems with AA in my MG5, which were pretty much cured with a 30cm, certified high quality cable, as my slightly longer cable gave me occasional issues. Now, I've just come home from a holiday in N Ireland with a hire car (2021 Skoda Fabia ICE - And boy, was I ever glad to get...

    12V battery trouble!

    So, to simplify: the car has a 12V charging fault. The dealer has changed the battery to no effect and, due to some kind of dealer/lease company politics, has put the 12V battery back in and returned the vehicle to you, unfixed and undiagnosed.. I don't understand how the 12V battery itself...

    Mg M5 EV heater issues

    Thanks. I did wonder about 400V in that area. Looks like a call to the stealers is in order. I just hope it's a warranty item

    Test drive NIGHTMARE!!!!

    Ah the 1100. Complete with the gear change remote casing that was secured by a metal/rubber/metal collar which would eventually fracture, the gearshift lever that could come out in your hand (managed to screw that back in at the lights in just a few seconds). Oh, and the little rubber pipe...

    Mg M5 EV heater issues

    Yeah, turned off recirc, turned on AC. The thing is, even with the heater wound up through the temperature range until the display switches from showing a temperature setting and just displays "HI", all I get is cold air blowing out.

    Mg M5 EV heater issues

    Just went to turn on the heater in my 2020 SR 5 Exclusive today (yes I know it's Summer *** but the weather didn't get the memo. We were misting up because it was so cold outside). No heat at all, just cold air. Car not in Eco mode, temp setpoint wound right up to HI. Heater never has been...
