    Winter Tyres

    I live up a hill that seems to be "above the snow line" and have been fitting 4 season tyres to my cars for years. It makes a HUGE difference compared to the standard tyres normally fitted, to the extent that a 2wd fitted with them can go where a 4wd struggles with "standard" tyres. As far as...

    Intermittent problems with Android Auto

    Yeah, I'm having terrible problems with phone calls too, after around 4 mins or so, the other end can't hear me, but I hear them ok, sometimes they are also getting a terrible echo/delay of their voice too🤷‍♂️. Needs sorting - will try deleting BT etc and re-doing again. I'm using a Samsung S22...

    My ZS is slowly falling apart...

    When you change them, look closely at your old (original) ones for the Bosch logo on them ;) . Just changed mine on my 5 LR......:)(y)

    My ZS is slowly falling apart...

    Possibly an interesting note is that both the 5 and new ZS use HERE for their satnav - delve deep into the mapping licence and version and you will see it detailed there ;)

    MG5 SR Headlights

    If your finding them not fit for purpose, there is something wrong with YOUR lights. Setup up correctly, there is nothing wrong with the standard lights and are in fact pretty good ;) (y) So, no, not to my limited knowledge, there is no recall. Led lights - whether they would pass an MOT...

    Fast Charge 100%?

    Interesting........ Wonder if that's another difference between the SR & LR........ Like the OP, I have an LR and it disconnects from the rapid at 95%, so categorically will not charge to 100%, certainly not on the rapid DC chargers that I have used. (Evolt)

    Fast Charge 100%?

    To the OP, just to be clear, with an MG5 on a rapid DC charger (as others have said, the correct terminology for DC, (CCS connector) charging) you cannot charge to 100%. It will disconnect charging at 95% and display HV battery disconnected. If you get this when in the car, don't freak out, just...

    Things I hope they fix!

    It seems that a lot of "bugs" are resolved or negated by simply reading the manual or spending time being curious and working through settings etc. This doesn't only apply to this thread but to many many threads on the forum. This is fine of course as it is the nature of group forums where folks...

    Mg5 charging time?

    Also bear in mind that when on a rapid DC charger, the battery management system disconnects the battery when it reaches 95% ? to protect the battery. To achieve 100% charge, this has to finished on AC charge.

    Dashboard illuminations during charging

    Don't worry, dash illumination goes off after a few seconds/about a minute:-)
