    Tesla Supercharger Issue MG5 LR

    If you are on the A1 the Moto at Grantham has about 8 new gridserve chargers. I saw them fenced off over Easter weekend and they are showing on zap map now. Not that it helps us there are 350kw chargers there! Downside is Moto service stations are grim!

    Starting the journey with a new eon tarrif

    I assume its a 7kw element with a 32 amp breaker. I have the smart meter and the display is in the front room. I even use the Hugo app so I can refer back to previous days. Trouble is if I forget to switch between fast heat and fan oven, I'll forget to check the monitor :D

    Starting the journey with a new eon tarrif

    Yes our air fryer is great. Unfortunately I get a little more middle class every time I say that! My Dad a retired chef has now bought one and uses it every day which I think is a good indicator. I even did a roast in ours on Sunday, 4 chicken quarters and about 5 spuds quartered, came out...

    Audio on power on

    Auto doesn't keep the windscreen clear in my 5 unless the day is very sunny. To be fair I've only had it since October. I set the system to windscreen clear then turn the fan down.

    Definitely with the AC, I'm always adjusting the fan or the heat!

    MG5 Facelift Insurance

    Case in point Admiral were way better for me with my last quote when the Red Telephone put my motor insurance up but £150 for no apparent reason. I think I even saved a tenner over the previous year.

    Starting the journey with a new eon tarrif

    Use a Slow cooker overnight to save money cooking, you'll have to have dinner for breakfast though! I read somewhere before the prices got silly if you charged your phone constantly for a year it would cost you around 20 pence. You would be better of putting timers on TVs, smart speakers (Sonos...

    It'll have to improve the range a lot anything with THule written on is £££! Would you be even able to open your boot with the box attached?

    Folding Mirrors - am I being thick?

    I had to spec folding mirrors on my '07 A3, '14 Focus ST and I think on my '18 Leon. Its all because of the new rigorous WLTP figures, every addition has to be tested and due to cost and time taken (I'm told test centers are not that common) they don't want to test every possible combination so...

    Audio on power on

    If you press and hold for a few seconds it does turn off and a few seconds longer it'll reboot, I know as I have to occasionally sort out AA connection issues with a reboot! As I have to wrangle a toddler out of the car and frequently forget to lock it, remembering to turn the radio off is...

    Audio on power on

    Agreed, my previous car would sit with the android auto/car play screen and no music playing until the phone connected. Its strange, nothing else in the MG has any power/setting persistence between journey aside from the radio.

    Audio on power on

    Thanks but my issue is the radio/android auto media volume disparity. I've already adjusted the voice bit to a decent volume but apps play a lot more quietly than the radio, so I turn the volume up to listen to streamed music. When I start the car I get the radio playing at the same volume...

    Audio on power on

    Thanks but I still use the head unit every journey for AA audio! I just don't appreciate the radio coming on first at a louder volume than the AA sound (I have to crank the volume up to get an acceptable level of sound from AA) before the systems all talk to one another and work.

    Audio on power on

    AA quality depends on the phone and signal as your phone does most of the work. I've used it for the last 5 years and think they've done the usual tech company thing of over-reaching what they will do. The maps and voice control seemed bullet proof when I first used it now its quite spotty...

    Audio on power on

    There isn't one on the pre-facelift. I always use Android Auto so am not a fan of the radio coming on before the car connects, especially as we don't have a proper DAB radio, so none of the stations I listen to are available anyhow. I have tuned the radio to AM and to a blank frequency so...

    MG ZS EV Shipping Updates

    The The unpredictability of being able to buy your car is annoying. I bought my first lease car off of Lombard via my cousin purchasing it first in 2010 as being in the construction industry things were still iffy so didn't want to get another lease. Then I rather fell for my Focus ST in 2014...

    MG ZS EV Shipping Updates

    I wouldn't get your hopes up. VWFS sold our cars directly to BCA who then offered us a settlement figure on our leased SEAT Leons that was practically retail price and we were 20-30k miles under our lease rates thanks to Covid, Mat leave and a job change for me. Ford didn't even offer us a...

    Water pouring from inside the hatchback door when opening!?

    My pre-face lift steams up when the temperature drops below 10°c, unless I have the AC set to windscreen. Plus side is once clear I can turn the fan down to 3 to stop the car from overheating.

    DAB temporary Radio. I have a pre-facelift MG5 LR.

    There is another thread on here where MG UK are saying this is the permanent fix. Its annoying as you can't save channels and get the information. IO also use both front USBs so can't use it either. DAB RADIO
