I was lazy, changed the SSID and password to the same as my old one. Not only would the car charger need an update, the inverter would (I have no idea how to do that), the secondary access point down the garden would need changing etc. My lazy work around. As others have pointed out there is...

As far as I know there is octopus GO for none supported chargers so not sure why you’d be put on a different one. Due to some fun at the beginning a swap to octopus wasn’t a goer so had a load of malarkey to go with BG - it pains me to say it but their ev tariff is a better deal than octopus...

100% do it. I was exactly the same but OH spent my money and went ahead. Worries about overheating plugs, gone. Long charging times, gone. Moving over to an ev tariff (even though I’m currently not commuting) so house alone has saved money by a lot of load shifting (washer, water heater...

Whatever makes you feel happy. They are likely to be for a ct clamp (if you go back to the consumer unit you’ll likely see a plastic block clipped around the meter tails). They are there for 2 reasons mostly. To suck up excess solar and/or load limit the charger I.e if the supply is small or...

This house is very weird. We actually have a 100amp fuse (there is an additional sticker on the carrier that is 100amp, not just the carrier rating label). Most say it should be smaller but it isn’t. Next door have a smaller fuse afaik - not sure if they did it because they are 100% overhead...

There was no contract but I have copies of the application to DNO and it states load limited. Only way to do that on specific charger is with the clamp.

Had my charger installed at an eye watering price it should have had a ct clamp and load limiting according to paper work (wasn’t overly bothered as it’s done dead of night only - not hitting the limits). Been nearly a year since the unloop request. Next door works for the DNO but not on...

Check that it is the EVSE. Either by getting someone else to plug in and / or alternate AC charging your car. Also remove any schedules in the car. I bang on about it often but a problem that affected me and some others was… Powerline networking kit just having it on in the house = failed...

That’s some going to get the day down that much! I have someone here 24/7 who is disabled. Fridge freezer and freezer, cctv system(s), tropical fish tanks and other half works from home in converted shed (heating there is diesel) in an all electric house. Realistic total without car is shy of...

I forgot to mention that. Either way their day rate is 2p higher so I can’t really make it work or worth the pain of swapping for me personally. Just had dimplex heaters in which opens up another BG tariff that is basically economy 7 which bumps the rate up to near 9p off peak.

I was the same but a Vchrgd7 - part of the problem is with all the wiring being unshielded, different earths around etc it can cause issues (there is also a faction of society who want them banned it transpires - amateur radio particularly). I digress. Just for the sake of OP my advice is to...

Excellent. I’m on the old billing system and it changes on the accounts page and app in 24 hours after requesting (despite the meters not working) so may be worth a check. Once the meter was installed and commissioned it had the correct tariff info on from the get go (look on the IHD) and also...

To be fair the powerline issue was unrelated to the EVSE connecting to the network extended or not. Just having them on in the house caused the issue, don’t want others having the same issue.

It was me. It would fail to start a scheduled charge (on the charger). It worked fine for months but as soon as the earth path was fixed on the powerline circuit (there was a broken earth which was repaired) all the craziness started. Ended up having to lay cat6 cable and remove the powerline...

As above you can get WiFi repeaters (think big glade plug in). I’ve never had much success. There is another type which is Powerline networked - sends data over the electricity wires and can with be another access point for the WiFi or just a wired connection. I’d say avoid (there is a threat...

I kept on and on and on at them. It infuriated me that I had their working smart meters but nobody joined the dots that it wasn’t working on 2 rates (smets1 landis gyr). They were telling me it was - one muppet in South Africa was even trying to convince me oh no you won’t be charged for the...

lol it’s not. Having ran MG Rovers since 2006 I’ve often had to be creative sourcing things. Slight help I have been in supply chain sourcing things for food industry for quite some time (specific plastic containers were once my nemesis long story and conversations with China on Xmas day one time).

I spotted a few bits including pads on mgtitan.com £86 for a from set and £60something for rears on a rwd. No affiliation, experience or shipping etc but they appear to be made by Ate so maybe someone has some contacts with them ?

In honesty I’m not overly bothered about integrating (it’ll never happen with mine as I have a weird one vchrgd7). With none intelligent deals out there, there isn’t a huge benefit my off peak is 7.9p but only for 5 hours which is still plenty with my usage. Some on eon get 6.9p though I found...

Same situation here waiting for the G98. Not charging the car with it as I don’t have the ct clamp on my charger however ….. the panels run the heat pump dryer quite nicely - deffo worth getting one (had it since 2018).
