I do have Intelligent Go tariff @Data, Dynamic charging is turned ON.

I don't use Smart Charging, I use the the MG iSmart app, set to switch on at the normal cheap energy rate starting at 11.30pm, but for the equalisation charge I set it for 12 hours and not the normal 5.30am (6 hours) stop time for normal charging. I'm pretty sure the equalisation took place as...

It may have been the diesel engines, can't remember, it was a few years ago, my Hyundai Tucson blew up it's diesel turbo.

I've recently upgraded my faultless and excellent MG4 Trophy to the MGS5, apart from a few (now) small teething issues, the S5 is lovely to drive, more comfortable driving position and faster in sport mode than any MG4 except the very quick XPower. I loved my MG4, it only went due to huge non...

Kia and Hyundai both went through a really bad time with their engines blowing up, I knew a Hyundai mechanic who couldn't keep up rebuilding their petrol engines a few years back. That I imagine is what is meant by weak

I had 2 years of trouble free driving with my MG4 Trophy, fabulous value and a great car, sorry to hear about your woes, my new S5 is even better than the 4, apart from a very few teething issues.

Yep, that's how it works, made an old lady jump out of her skin today as she walked past the car going to shops, the boot was closing as I locked the car.... toot toot!

I tried it from 20% and it didn't want to work, every thing I understand from a new life experience (@Jazzyboy and @Guinea Pig) AND LOADS OF OTHERS, leads me to believe that it definitely works from 8% (under 10%)remaining battery, I'm ready to be adjusted in my understanding. it;s quite...

Car mats are available now, I bought a nice set from Vehicle Mats UK, the ones which came with the car were lower end quality, I went for a better quality with a decent heel protector stitched in!

Thanks @Jazzyboy, I can tell you my biggest learning curve in life eminates from school boy mistakes🤣😂

Not sure what you mean, @Jazzyboy good or bad?

Equalisation success. My MGS5 is now 8 weeks old, Time for battery maintenance. A previous attempt to Equalise the traction HV battery failed, with no apparent reason I could find. 2 weeks ago I attempted the equalisation with the battery at 15% on home "OHME" charger, probably didn't let the...

I also had issues with Android Auto, it seems to work OK, but I got thoroughly fed up with Google maps showing every time I started the car, I've now disabled AA on the car, I can easily turn it on if needed for perhaps Waze or What3words on a longer journey where I need guidance. I tried...

Exactly this happened to me a week ago, but by the time I'd noticed the tailgate open (NO Warning bongs) I'd driven around 100metres and was on the slip road of the Salisbury ring road dual carriageway at a busy time, having to stop and get out to lower the door as it was half open, lots of cars...

It's all very easy did mine a few weeks ago and the car was collected a week ago. Gone to Bristol to be auctioned. Just follow the instructions and you'll find everything eventually happens. Left my car reasonabley clean, removed all the normal junk from the car. About 40% charge, enough to...

Umpteenth update on my adaptive Cruise Control not always switching off using the appropriate steering wheel button. Today at last and after threatening to bounce it back as not "fit for purpose" I had a reply as below. The problem is no longer dangerous or a surprise to me as I'm fully aware...

Thanks for the reply Miles, doesn't sound a grands worth of additional cost, but your final paragraph sums it up to me, profit 😂👍!

So @Miles Roberts CG, why such a hefty price tag on EV heat pumps, if they are basically using equipment already installed, or is it a lot more complicated than you suggest?

A very interesting article @Anon70 , as you can probably tell, I'm a big fan of tech, saving energy and therefore money, but as @tsedge refers to, they aren't for everyone, but if the option were there, I'd definitely go for it, as the article says, non heat pump equipped traditional resistive...

Of course @tsedge, all you say is spot on, especially the space saved under the bonnet by not having one, also an EV heat pump comes into play more efficiently during colder weather, heat pumps (I have a ground source heat pump running ALL of our hot water and heating needs at home) they have a...
