    22 kW in-car charger upgrade?

    But as before you have to get a 22kW 3 phase lead for it to give 7kW on single phase. The best source remains Tesla via their App.

    Octopus Energy - Sharing my Prices and thoughts - January 2023 onwards…

    No, any smart meter capable of reporting in half hour periods (nearly all of them) should be acceptable. There's a minor issue regarding communication and effectively bringing Gen 1 up to Gen 2 communications so that they can transfer to a new supplier but that should have already been done.

    Octopus Intelligent or 'Go'

    You can be cheapskate like me and use a Type 2 to Type 2 Ohme lead on your existing charge point. They can be amended to replace the tethered lead if you have that sort of lead. Mind you they seem to go for around £200 now which is a lot to save 2p/kWh off-peak. Exactly, 23:30 to 05:30 fixed...

    So glad to get my MG4 back after a ZS lease

    I'd love the panoramic roof from the pre-facelift ZS in either a 5 but particularly the dark cabin of the 4.

    MG5 SR Headlights

    Yes, but they cannot be swapped with the pre-facelift.

    Which way are you suggesting? Is yours single phase?

    Archived MG4 mudflaps £10

    Set of used (for about 1,000 miles) mudflaps for an MG4. Genuine AliExpress :rolleyes: but actually decent quality and fit. They use the existing fittings so no new ones or holes required. I've decided I'm not going back to an MG4 after my bad experience. £10 including postage or £5 if...

    Latest MG Cyberster spy shots

    Well SAIC did buy the patterns for the MGF. :unsure: Personally I'd prefer it if they produced something more like your first MG.

    MG4 Rear Brake Discs corroded, 3700 miles in, + bonus other issues

    The law currently requires two separate means of braking, which is normally the foot brake and the hand brake (or Emergency brake for our US members). No chance that this would change nor would braking on one axle only be allowed.

    MG4 Undertray dip/bulge

    Spot on. They are not listening to their customers or acknowledging their concerns.

    It Looks Like Speed Assist Systems Are On The Way For NCAP - Perhaps Default On?

    Up until recently too much focus has been on the vehicle occupants whilst ignoring any pedestrians and occupants of other vehicles. This has ignored the growth of SUVs etc unchecked.

    MG5 spares

    Strange how sellers on eBay and AliExpress manage to get things here in less than 3 weeks. Some parts are obviously too large to post, but others (such as this seal) should be easy to post.

    MG5 LR charge routine (taxi)

    Given that the Rapid is free that's around £15/day compared to charging at home. Personally I'd use the Rapid on the way home and take it to 80% and then take it to 100% once a week on the Granny. Obviously once they start charging for the Rapid then a home EVSE and an EV appropriate tariff such...

    Highlands new charge rates.

    It's a classic unfair business practice, use a subsidised price to prevent any competition then jack up the prices. If I was a potential competitor I'd be concerned that if I could compete at the current price there's nothing to prevent them lowering the price again to drive me out.

    How to tell which battery is in my MG5

    That's probably the case - it sounds the same as the MG4 SR.

    My trip in a Tesla model 3

    The rear seats in the Model 3 have a relatively high floor and are not particularly comfortable for adults. But there is no way that my LR would manage that length of journey at that speed in that weather.

    How to tell which battery is in my MG5

    Perfect. So the plot thickens. It looks like the battery chemistry of the facelift MG5 SR is different to the previous version, perhaps more in line with that used on the MG4. Frankly it is now down to MG to resolve ......

    Do MG actually listen to feedback?

    I hope that you are correct. My experience with getting things rectified by MG wasn't good. Perhaps I was unlucky. But I don't see any new MG4s being delivered yet with revised breathers, undertrays or setting memory. Obviously nothing to see here.

    How to tell which battery is in my MG5

    I suspect the factory have misled your dealer with a genuine mistake. I certainly agree about not being able to tell the motor power - having had a SR MG4 there was no difference at low speed in comparison to the LR which was higher geared, it just ran out of power at higher speeds which isn't...

    How to tell which battery is in my MG5

    Looking again at the breakers advert it isn't clear whether it is an SR or an LR, and the number is BU131A50S so the same as yours which makes me think it was an SR.
