The fitter should have included a clip on sensor that monitors the current demand on the incoming mains supply and modulates the amount of charge being delivered by your Ohme. This ensures that your car won't cause an overload when there's a heavy demand from elsewhere in your premises.

If they're blinking rapidly might it be due to the reduced current consumption? Back in the day the flasher unit consisted of a bi-metal strip that would make and break the circuit as it heated and cooled. Fast flashing occurred when one of the indicator bulbs had blown.

I live in SW20 but I elected to buy my MG5FL from Wilson's Epsom. After a bit of hassle they did my update Tesla Supercharger Issue MG5 LR

I used Darts Farm in early October and I needed to use the Tesla app... Tesla Supercharger Issue MG5 LR

In July I paid £157.20 for a 1st service. I was sent a walk-round video mentioning details of tyre and break wear etc., bits of which were inaudible. The invoice proper showed: AS1 Carry out 1st annual service inspection as per manufacturer's service schedule; VHC Carry out visual health check...

For what it's worth, I made up a granny extension lead for use when staying at a remote guest house in Cornwall using the products listed below. I'm always careful to remove all the cable from the drum and have never experienced any heating problems in any of the items during a charge from 22%...

Thought I'd share this experience... I've got the Tesla update and have successfully charged at various Tesla stations. On the way back from Cornwall my navigator used google maps to direct me to what I thought was Tesla Service Centre, Exeter but in reality I was taken to Tesla Moto Services...

I've found public chargers to be iffy too. For example, I stopped off at an Instavolt at 'Route 303' on the A303, stepped through a puddle to access the CCS plug and found that neither of the 2 CCS units would talk to the car. So I drove back 10 miles to an Osprey charging station at...

Wilson's updated the EVCC software free of charge - and washed the car. Yesterday, I took it to the Tesla Supercharger at Denbies, Dorking and it worked perfectly first time. I had also asked Wilson's to do the SC052 update but they misread it as SC055 and noted that it had already been done...

Yes, I was in the habit of clicking from drive into neutral. Apart from the glare issue it reduced the static load on the engine that wasted diesel - the tickover pitch would rise when N was selected. I don't understand why MG have opted to emulate the undesirable ICE auto creep in their EVs. My...

Yes, I bought a BMW 120d auto in 2006 and reluctantly sold it last year due to ULEZ. I'd previously owned a Passat estate and wanted an EV with similar flexibility. In spring 2023 only 2 EV estates were on the market: a Taycan (£80k+) and the MG5; I chose the latter! Why do you ask?

My driving instructor taught me to use the handbrake (or its modern equivalent, the EPB) as per the highway code and out of consideration for other road users. At night I consider the glare of stop lights, particularly LED ones, is both irritating and unnecessary.

I've just spoken to the 'master technician' at Wilson's who was helpful. Apparently, the recall update done on my car was SC055 - I wish I'd thought to ask what that did. Anyhow, he's agreed that to fulfil my original request for Tesla compatibility, update SCO52 for the CCU and an update for...

Thank you, shpub. Please would you give me a link to the FAQ in question as it would help to know which update I should be asking Wilson's to install.

Having signed up via the Tesla app and handed over my debit card details, I stopped off at the well-hidden Tesla charging station in Flimwell on the A268. According to the app this charging station is open to 'other EVs with CCS compatibility'. So I eagerly plugged in, identified the charger on...

Ah, that explains it, thank you. There's a filter 'superchargers open to other EVs' on the windows app but I couldn't find it on the Android one; now I know why. I've just been wading through all the posts under this heading and if anyone's interested on p13 post #252 Lovemyev gave a link to a...

6 weeks ago I booked my 2023 MG5 FL Trophy in to Wilson's Epsom for its first service, emphasising that I wanted the Tesla update done when it received its service today. On collecting the car, and handing over £157.20, I asked if the update had been done as it didn't appear on my invoice. The...

You'll probably find all you need to know here: Interior bulbs getting them out. It worked like a dream for me.

Given all the press hysteria it was refreshing to find this balanced Sunday Times article: Are electric cars more likely to catch fire than petrol and diesel cars? (driving.co.uk)

My MG5 halts the V2L discharge if it detects an earth (PE) leakage of just over 1mA, which is 30 times more sensitive a typical RCD. See post #87 here: V2L Earthing - how?
