    No timer on charger

    Hello everyone, I have an MG5 Excite 2021 and I’d like to charge overnight on my low tariff. Unfortunately, the app doesn’t seem to have a scheduled charging option, and my home charger is quite basic so it can’t be set to start at a specific time. Has anyone found a reliable way to make...

    Pre facelift LR - Charge won't stop

    So I'm plugging in to a 7kW fast charger at a holiday cottage, and usually at home on my granny charger I can stop charging by unlocking the car. However, when I plugged in here the charge just started when I plugged in, even though the car was unlocked and when it was done the only way to stop...

    MG5 Facelift (24 reg) – First Service Questions (Software, Maps & Service Record)

    Hi all, I’ve just taken my MG5 facelift UK (24 reg) in for its first service at an MG garage. The car has only done 5,000 miles (so very low), but as I’ve had it a year, I thought it best to get the service done — mainly for a software check/upgrade and to renew the 12-month MG assistance...

    Changing the infotainment unit

    hi everyone, I was wondering if anyone changed the infotainment unit in their MG5? It's a excite, LR, pre FL version. I'm looking at getting second hand unit on ebay, is it a straight swap, or are these units coded to the VIN or something? Thanks!

    New tyres - goodyear

    Went in for new tyres last week and they didn't have the usual Michelin Primacy 4s so fitted Goodyear Ultra grip Perfomance 3 instead. I'm only posting this to say they are incredibly quiet on the road, much quieter than the Michelins. Might be because they are winter tyres I don't know. Shame...

    MG5 software upgrade

    I just had my first service and asked for the software upgrade to accept Tesla chargers. Main reason being that on many motorway services there are many Tesla stations available but all other CCS chargers occupied. Do I need to download Tesla app? If so which one? Thanks
