    Trying to install iSmart but MG5(FL) won't "Bind"

    MG5(FL) MY24 won't "Bind" when trying to install iSmart app. I can see the Bind QR code (doesn't look like a regular code though) - photo attached. When I scan from the app (on Android phone) the camera goes in and out of focus but that's it - no progress. Has anyone managed to do it?

    Mirrors and window issues

    Hi everyone My mirrors have stopped going in when locked. The windows are also not working - the button lights flicker on and off, so feels like some loose connection. It's a 2022 LR, pre face lift, 30k miles. Still under warranty so I could take it to dealer but would be a big hassle...

    New Owner - 2021 MG5 SR

    Hi everyone. I've had my 2021 MG5 SR for nearly a week. Got it from Cinch and part-ex'd my 10 year old Leon. I'd watched a load of Youtube videos and paid for a carvertical report, then pulled the trigger! Loving it so far and it's far exceeded my expectations. One previous owner, 44k miles...

    Mary (not her real name), started her MG5 to hit the sales in town, but just before driving off she realised her purse was missing. She got back into the house, dropped her keys on the counter, went upstairs to get her money and off she went. It’s only when the car refused to start coming home...

    Have MG sorted out the MG4 yet?

    Hi, I’m looking to take some test drives in the new year for the MG5, the MG4 and the Model 3. Head says MG5 but I do find it a bit…fugly. I’m sure the Model 3 is a great car but I’m honestly put off by the image and also worry that Tesla could implode if the tech bubble had a sharp...

    Granny Charger Power

    My MG OEM granny charger came from my MG5 where as I recall it used to input nearly 3 KW. I am now using it on my S6 and it only does between 1.9 and 2.1 KW. Has any one else got better charging rates or is this an S5 thing? Perhaps not all granny chargers are the same?
