    Insurance Renewal time again, any recommendations?

    Yes, but roadside recovery is also normally included in all Spanish insurance policies - even 3rd party only ones. I'm not 100 % sure (even after 20 yrs here! ) how it actually works, but it seems that a lot of garages have a recovery truck (grúa) and are registered on some central DB. If you...

    MG4 Pedestrian Alert

    Ours is really, really, quiet - our neighbour actually asked why it didn't make "that whirring sound" other evs make. On the plus side, you can slide up right behind pedestrians jay walking on the road and scare the 5hi7 out of them by hitting the horn long and hard.

    Funniest greeting message

    I can't remember fir sure, without going down to the garage, but isn't it a setting in the weather forecast pane? I'll check a bit later.. Edited 11:29. Try the weather pane, upper right cog wheel for settings. Then turn on "Weather Broadcast". I think that includes the date & time. If it's not...

    Funniest greeting message

    As posted in the original "custom greeting messages" thread some of my go to ones I set up at night for the entertainment of my better half in the morning are: Have you trodden in something? Hello Sailor. Are you looking for a good time? Please don't pick your nose at traffic lights Can you...

    Parking Buttons

    +1. That's how we use it. It can make for a smoother and more controlled start when starting off downhill on a steep or slippery hill.

    Things learnt so far on our Spanish adventure

    We live here and tend to use the Iberdrola chargers when out & about. Around our area there are loads in Mercadona supermarkets parking if you do spend over €15 you get 2 hrs extra parking so can scoot off for a couple of beers & tapas while charging). Also they've got 50kW as well as 23kW...

    Best boot liner and dog guard

    We just ordered and fitted the Sakura dog guard which seems excellent. Bit of a push to get the hooks onto the headrest supports even with the long screws if you use the extension "wings" - I might buy two longer (85mm) M6 bolts tomorrow after seeing how it "beds in". But, thus far, it looks...

    Charging during a Brown Out

    "The meter by my MG wall charger is showing 215V, 30.9A and a charge rate of 6.5kW See attached picture (the kWh figure is this month's consumption to date). Normally it indicates 219-221V / 31A / 6.9kW." P=IV 30.9 x 215 = 6643 31 x 221 = 6851 Seems about right as you always get some losses...

    MG4 virtual engine sound?

    Ours is pretty well silent at low speed, and gives us a huge amount of fun allowing us to glide up behind walkers in the road and either blasting the horn, or flooring it just as we pass them, and watching them "jump out of their skin"!

    Do I need three different cables?

    I elected against this after reading of other's woes. The next day's electricity prices are published at 21:00 every night so I just either set the car to charge via the app between 0:05 and 06:00 (when the water heating comes on) if it's cheap then - or for later / not if it's a different...

    Do I need three different cables?

    We bought this one and it's perfect. You can dial down the current if you're worried over your house wiring - we run ours at 10A which is well below the normal EU Schuko plug rating if 16A. I just use the car or app scheduler to charge between 00:05 and 06:00 during cheap rate and before the...
