    MG5 Car unbinding nightmare

    Hi all, After trying to communicate with support I am very desperate and posting here. I bought a MG5 EV and the "binding" to the phone app does not work, I did the "force unbind" option and waited 3 days. After the 3 days the car said "this service is unavailable" okay, I reach out to support...

    V2L cuts out when the car door is opened

    I'm using V2L to power a coolbox (and other things including an air fryer) while camping (see my other recent thread). Generally working well, except that the V2L output cuts off every time a car door is opened. Getting it restarted means getting into the car (with the key in proximity)...

    For Sale 2021 Dynamic Red Standard Range MG5 Exclusive

    I've just ordered a new MGS5 so it's sadly time to part company with this one :( Bought exactly 4 years ago but exceptionally low mileage (only 14K miles). Had its 4th service and MOT completed just a few days ago on the 17th of June so it's a full year before you'll need to worry about either...

    Grinding/ Scraping Noise from MG5 LR

    Afternoon all. I've just had the most horrendous grinding/ scraping noise coming from my MG5 LR. It appears to be coming from the wheel area so possibly brake discs? The car is nearly 4 years old and had no real problems with it so far, fast wearing tyres aside. It started out of nowhere...

    Switched my MG5 for an MGS5

    I have just upgraded from a pre-facelift MG5 61kWh Exclusive to an MGS5 Trophy LR and these are my thoughts after a couple of weeks' ownership: The MGS5 is much quieter inside, the outside noise drops away as soon as you close the door. Up to 30mph, it is practically silent. There is some wind...

    HVAC Power Use

    Apologies if there is an obvious answer for this: I have a PFL MG5 with the "two dials" HVAC controls, rather than climate control. What does the white, middle section of the temperature setting mean? Does it mean "not heated, not cooled", or does it mean "medium temperature"? I like to use...

    Going camping - how to keep my beer cool?

    I'm planning a camping trip with tent etc. I'd hoped to buy a simple 12V coolbox to plug into the car. But now find there's no 12V socket in the boot. I could buy an extension lead and plug it under the dash - but I assume that won't be powered while the car is switched off (e.g. overnight). So...

    MG5 DRL Fault

    I have a 2022 MG5 LR Exclusive. I've noticed over the last few days that the nearside DRL (daytime running light) is flashing rather than being on steady. This is the LED(?) strip that runs around the outside edge of the headlamp lens. It would appear that this is not replaceable and would...

    Charge door mechanism broken

    After just one month of use, the charge port door / charge flap mechanism stopped working. The 'receiving' end on the car 'fell' into the car'. The pin and door itself are still in excellent condition. There is now just a hole where the mechanism used to be. I booked it in with MG Bristol North...
