I got the impression from pod point that the problem had been going on for a while and that the charger only shut itself down after a number of days of faults.
This morning the reading is 208 but the charger is working at the moment.
I've done a report to UK power networks - It will be...
An update: Something similar happened today so I got out the Granny charger which worked fine.
This is going to surprise people - I called Pod Point, got straight through (after negotiating the first level robot) and the support operator was excellent. She checked the charger history and agreed...
So, woke up this morning to find a red light on the Pod Point charger and the car at 82% rather than the 100% I had set it to.
Reset the car and tried again. It connected for about 30seconds and then errored again.
Reset the Pod Point by turning it off at the isolator and back on again - same...
If it was me, I'd get the dealer to look at it. Mainly because of the possibility that the electrics underneath the join have been affected. It will be easier to make the subsequent warrantee claim if the dealer had done the pipe fix.
That said, it's easy for me, I'm retired and have time to...
The charging should get very much better when the weather warms up. I've occasionally seen mine touch 80kW (but never for very long).
The brakes just get a bit grubby and rusty because they don't get used much. This can make them a bit noisy especially in winter. I try to remember to do some...
I've used clips like these https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/326094190903 when I've needed a fix to be properly permanent. I haven't had the washer pipe problem on my car yet so I don't know the size you would need.
Short runs don't make much difference to an EV. It hasn't had to pump out 3 or 400 amps into a starter motor to get the engine running. all it has to do is fire up the computer and flick the switch on the main battery.
A booster jump starter doesn't need to be expensive. You can pretty much buy...
Although that is definitely true, my understanding is that early MG5s with the bug were occasionally locking up Tesla chargers and putting them out of action. Tesla then put in a check for the specific issue and prevented cars that displayed that problem from connecting.
Either way it was very...
That's a really good price - almost as good as European prices. There are a few Tesla chargers in the North West that are 72p. I have no idea why there is such a wide range.
No, it just means that although it is obviously a bug they consider that fixing it is an enhancement and so the dealer isn't allowed to claim back their time from MG under the warranty.
You may already know this but not all Tesla chargers are open to non-Teslas and, something I found out recently, not all Tesla chargers are cheap.
As for compatibility, I think all of the long ranges were updateable (and all of the FL). Some of the standard ranges were also updateable but it...
That battery has much more power than an MG5 needs. I'm sure you don't need to pay the extra for a stop/start battery but I suppose it wont do any harm.
