Sailed through, thank goodness. You had me worried :)

Oh dear - my ‘5’ goes for its first MOT in the morning … Its birthday is 2 November and I booked it into Frasers of Falkirk. First available slot was 11th November so it seems there is quite a lead time.

My reply deleted - I thought this related to the UK driver whose throttle apparently jammed open and the brakes wouldn't work. Correct story, wrong case.

V2 has two cables (CCS & the old proprietary Tesla one for Models S and X(?) V3 looks the same but has only one cable (CSS)

Yes, Frasers of Falkirk. I went to them for my second service (FL) after seeing an earlier post by @Archev No charge for the update.

I think you have a facelift? It's a bayonet fitting - grip the pin, turn it anti-clockwise and pull it out. You don't need magnets - the flap has a spring which holds it in the closed position. To open it, grip it at the bottom right and pull.

I had the same issue with my MG5. I reported it at service but the dealer said they’ve all like that. Oh yeah, never heard that before. Presumably your car will be similar. The keeper is fixed with 2x 10mm bolts. Remove the plastic trim to see it. Slacken the bolts, adjust until the...

This is a release for the charging cable, not the flap over the charging port. When you put the cable into the port and start charging, the car locks the cable to prevent anyone else removing it. When you unlock the car after charging is complete, the cable lock is released. Sometimes (rarely...

I rest my accumulated trip at the start of every month. On 1 April, the GOM showed over 300 miles. Total nonsense of course, possibly/probably because it had nothing on which to base its estimate. For sure, it didn't revert to the 'book' value of 350. Within a few miles of driving it came...

Maybe you'll know this trick. On frosty nights I use a screen cover. I have heated mirrors, but they take a while to clear. For a quicker getaway, I put zip-seal polythene bags over my mirrors. In the morning, I take off the screen cover, pull off the bags, drive off.

I just had my bank account debited by CPS. I haven't used a public charger since last September so phoned them. The charge was for a session last August (a correct charge, but it took 7 months to be actioned)! So don't count your chickens …

Yes, the washer pipe flaw exists on the facelift version. I know the general advice is to fit cable ties, but mine popped even with those in place. Fit metal spring clips for a permanent fix. And, of course, an informed buyer would insist the selling dealer does that as part of the sale...

I've just noticed that the warranty on the charge port door has been increased to THREE years. Until recently, it was only one year. I've booked mine in for checking this week. (It doesn't unlock, so I removed my locking pin. I'll replace it prior to dropping it at the dealer, but not before...

From the sidelines … I had the same problem with my MG5. The solution was to simply remove the locking pin. The flap on the '5' is held closed by a spring, so there's no problem in that regard. Just pull the flap open, plug in. The big benefit, of course, is that I no longer need to worry...

I kept "losing" auto dipping under various scenarios. I would quickly switch the lighting stalk to off & back to on - not ideal. I recently discovered that if your speed falls to 20mph or there by (e.g. passing through a village) the auto dip re-activates.

I'm 100% sure it's noything to do with the washer fluid freezing. I think the problem is that the nozzle on the rear wiper gets wet (e.g.with rain water) and freezes, blocking the nozzle. When we operate the washer pump, the fluid can't get out, the pressure builds up and the joint pops...

Not on my facelift version.

That wasn't clear in your post. But, as I added later, I can see no harm in leaving the pin off.
