    Very poor range

    I've read most of the posts that I can find on the forum but nothing seems to be this bad! The monthly snapshot range post is very helpful but currently looks like very wishful thinking for my recently purchased MG5 LR pre facelift 72 plate. After a full recharge on the Granny charger, it has...

    Condensation

    Hi everyone. I have a FL MG5 Trophy and I am really struggling with windows fogging up. The worst culprit is the drivers side windows.
