Last few weeks the speed indicator sign ( white/red/ black circle) is showing spurious speeds, ie 40 on a motorway or 70 on a high street. This can last several miles. Particularly worrying when indicating 40 in a 30 zone. It seems to right itself when passing a roadside speed sign.

I think I've already stated I know nothing about cars and evidently neither does the car dealers service manager. Again, is this peculiar to ev,s.

this is peculiar to ev's?

Took my mg es ev for its second year service, quoted £225. I asked why twice last years price, he replied the 'Chinese' suggest replacing the brake fluid. why?, the Chinese claim the fluid collects moisture from the air over time! Hasn't it always? And won't the new fluid collect moisture...

Good for you Chris, I would say 99 times out of 100, the install is straight forward. £150 for 2/3 hrs work is more like it

Installed my own two years ago, ohme ( original), new consumer unit in the garage cables, earth rod (stipulated by Ohme) £325 no issues whatsoever. Probably best option is to get a quote from 'non specialist' electrician. The install is straight forward electrical work in most cases.

You've just saved me 1500 quid, simple push to one side, clip popped in and so far no alarms. I just knew the dealer hadn't checked, simply quoted for new. Cheers Dodger

Dodger, how did you get the lower grille off (surrounding the radar sensor)?

Hi, Robert, did you find out how to replace the lower grill? I have a similar problem, the radar unit has sprung slightly and now out of alignment. I think if I knew how to get at it I may be able to fix it

Hi, Just collected my EV ES following year 2 service. Outstanding item is a replacement for above item, quote £1500!! The unit has been intermittantly alarming out since a recent bump and driving me mad. Having a quick look through the lower grill I can see the camera unit is out of alignment...

Good enough for me

Feel better for that! Still would have preffered to replace after two years but ain't giving it away.

Interesting, thanks, how would I get the current state of the battery condition, request during annual service?

Hi all, premptative question, anyone aware of the life expectancy of the battery pack. I believe we have a manufacturers warranty of 80k miles but unsure when deterioration gets so bad a replacement is needed. Reason for the enquiry is the pooŕ resale value, it appears I'll be hanging onto my...

yes, same here, perfect storm when I bought my new 71 plate exclusive, £25300 with grants and sweetners, Octopus deal for Ohme charger ( fit myself ) and 5p/kWh night time rate. Whilst disapointed with the trade in offer ( declined) I have/am saving a fortune in fuel given I do 18k a year. Only...

Sorry jonof, bad planning, I rarely have to use public charging and I do 18k a year, (say 5 times in 20mths) but would never risk the flat bed of shame. give it a go, I'm sure you'll mess up but gets easier 2nd time onwards

Makes energies recent uplift to 98p / kWh even more suspicious

25% night rate, 7% day rate.....nice start!

18000 a year 99% on the Octopus 5p tariff which has now finished, 10p kWh now, don't know how I'll manage. On a serious note anyone had a quote to sell their 'High' mileage zs car? Pretty disappointed with wbac quote, was going to upgrade to a trophy but unsure now if trade in value of...

Hmmm...another boat I've missed!
