Further update here.
Looking at peoples dashbaords it looks like im missing a lot of data?
- Odometer readings?
Also how would i schedule my heating to come on in the morning - ive looked in automations and i cant see an option there?
Thanks
Andy
I don’t have a need for that so not tested it but I just created this quick automation using the UI automation editor as an example:

Thanks

It’s worth the effort, don’t give up 
I have examples of the MQTT topics (as I don’t use MQTT discovery) in this post: MG Motor Mg5 Electric Car Integration - #190 by PeatyPete
If you want to peek around at the topics, a tool like https://mqtt-explorer.com/ is a great way to connect to your MQTT server and explore the various topics.
It will give you a better understanding of what’s happening under the covers.

Sometimes a restart seems to fix it, but not always, is anyone else seeing this?
I’ve seen similar errors in both the legacy as well as new versions of the add-in when my vehicle has no reception (eg is in an underground carpark).
Is your car in a location where it’s unlikely to have cellular service?
It should have had reception, but in any case, it seems to be working fine again now so I guess it was a transient thing!
