    Parking charges at MFG Thirsk

    1 They ain't "fines". They're invoices for some kind of contractual arrangement The Driver entered into. 2 Do not even hint at the identity of the driver in any appeal (or request for help online -see later). You appeal as The Keeper or Registered Keeper as appropriate and you explain what The...

    I've never had such a bad car. MG5 EV

    Nope again. But with the observation that Hanlon's Razor may apply.

    I've never had such a bad car. MG5 EV

    You really need to download and use ZapMap. That would tell you which chargers are close by, which are occupied and which are working. You can filter results to only show 50kW units or higher, specific operators and connection type.

    I've never had such a bad car. MG5 EV

    MG5 SR, pre facelift (70 plate). Just got back from a 380 mile round trip from Norfolk to Sussex and back. Car well loaded with luggage, 2 up, Aircon on most of the time. Started with 100% charge from home charger. Got to Sussex in one, with 20% remaining. GOM remaining range plus miles covered...

    350 - miles or km? Check the units.

    OVMS and MG5

    I have a possible opportunity to buy an OVMS unit at a good price. How well - if at all - would it work on my 2020 MG5 SR? If not, could it be persuaded to work properly?

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

    Helped daughter install a Hive central heating controller. Based on my experience with her Hive, I'm glad I opted for a Drayton Wiser for myself. Only a few small problems over the past 3 years and the few times I've needed it, the support has been exemplary. Are you trying to tell us that...

    Miniture EVs

    Check out the "Swingbin Racer". It's based on a Swingbin bottom for the nosecone, a fabricated chassis and body tub with an old cordless drill bearing against the rear wheel for motive power. Here's my take on it, which I built for the grandkiddies 5 years ago, when they were a lot smaller. It...

    222 on GOM in an SR

    Now at 48% remaining. Without any Aircon running and in Economy mode, the GOM says 98 miles left in the battery. Odometer was reset when the car was fully charged and now reads 150 miles. So that's a total range of 248 against a spec of 217.

    MG5 Trophy Batteries state after returning from a 15 day holiday

    7 weeks layup of my MG5 SR gave similarly encouraging results. It's on a thread somewhere on here.

    222 on GOM in an SR

    My 2020 SR is spec'd at 217 miles. Today adding miles driven plus GOM miles remaining estimate, I am seeing 233, which goes up to 240 odd if I shut off the a/c. Getting comparable figures on long runs when I'm left with charge in the region of 17%, so well pleased.

    Info Screen/sat nav night mode issues.

    Is there anything on top of the dashboard? Thats where the daylight sensor is.

    Good emergency stop (not "computer says" for a change)

    So why am I now thinking about mint sauce?

    MG compatibility with Android Auto

    Most Android Auto issues seem to be related to poor cables. There's a thread or two on the subject somewhere, either in the MG5 forum or general chat. I had all sorts of issues connecting in the first place then occasionally having AA spit out it's dummy and dropping the connection. I researched...

    Rear seat seatbelt issue. Fragile electrics.

    Possibly. The only way to tell is to whip off the back seat squab and have a shufti. Pull up the front edge and then pull the whole squab forwards. Should lift off ok. Reassembly is the same in reverse, except you sweat in different places.

    MG5 stopped with multiple errors, unable to drive or turn off.

    Crivens! Just had a very similar issue with my '5. Nearside rear seatbelt: one wire parted and the (minimal) strain relief clip on the connector broken off. Offside: strain relief clip on the connector broken off. It didn't go as far as getting the CANBus all bent out of shape though. The centre...

    Rear seat seatbelt issue. Fragile electrics.

    W00t! All fixed without quibble under warranty, by the dealer, so big shout out for Crayford & Abbs in Bodham, Norfolk. They do also sell Nissans but we won't hold that against them. Do take heed of this thread. Apparently, in that instance, the flailing end of cable intermittently grounded out...

    My Android Auto problem solved ?

    Doesn't support AA yet, as far as I know, so you'll need a reasonable dash/screen mount.

    My Android Auto problem solved ?

    Mine is an MG5 SR. Phone us still the Poco X3 NFC. Yes, it appears to be working OK under MIUI (Latest updates applied). I'll be doing a longer run this weekend. We'll see how it goes. Fallback is inbuilt sat nav or Navmii (which is free and doesn't need a data connection at all and was my...
