That’s an excellent idea, I did wonder if it’s possible, love to hear if others have done this already to the MG5?

Gosh that sounds terrifying, I hope you get it sorted,I was also thinking car insurance. disappointing it took so long to diagnose.

I saw a warning on this from a video by James & Kate the Cleevely mobile repairs team. So fitted seat covers/protectors. I can see that edge of the drivers seat always gets ruffled.

Only come across this thread now & really love the look with the new lights, I might well do this as this is an old thread any updates since you did this? Also any tips on the wiring, like what relay to get & where to wire in?

Thanks for the encouragement, good idea copper grease might be better than silicone.

Thanks I did wonder about them sticking I didn’t know it was a thing, I’ll grease them up with some silicone. Really appreciate the heads up . I wonder if a thin wrap of plumbers PTFE might help . Or maybe I should bin them I find some decent rubber ones, don’t fancy them getting the stuck on.

Thought I’d share a pic of some new tyre valve caps I got from AliExpress. Nice finish , solid metal with an internal sealing rubber washer. For £2.22 I thought they were excellent value. Currently 52% off. I’ve got a rear left-hand tyre that is slowly losing pressure and so have been keeping...

Thank you so much , I'll give them a call.

I have an EVCC-02 with the part number 11313393 which some have had updated to support Tesla chargers, but I'm still trying to find an MG garage that has done it. My local Chiswick MG said it'll cost £360 & a new part despite me telling them it can be done. MG themselves said try a larger dealer...

I'm still looking for a MG dealer in west London that has done the EVCC no 11313393 before, MG Chiswick quoted me £360 saying it needed hardware but it has the same as others that has been done. If anyone knows one..shame I should have followed it up at last years service when I might have got...

I’m curious about the model number of your EVCC. It’s easily accessible next to the battery, as you can see here: MG5 Supercharger: FAQ 2 - What upgrades does my MG5 need to use a Tesla charger?. Since our cars are the same age, I thought you might be interested. Or, if you’re an owner with...

Good idea, but I have an MG service contract for them, I wonder if you can move dealers. Hi Tips, could you let us know what Dealership that is that did the upgrade? I've phoned a few & they don't know about it & the MG bulletin still says the 3 main model numbers, min is the same as yours...

So, I took my MG5 to Chiswick MG for its third service and first MOT today. I asked about the Tesla update, which was supposed to be done last year, but it doesn’t seem to be working. After telling the service guy about this, he quoted me £80 for it, but he said he’d ask the service boss. I was...

I just dropped off my Pre-FL 2022 to Chiswick MG for the same MOT & service, did yours get done ok? Ill move my update to the other Tesla thread as it turns out my MG5 needs a part despite it having an EVCC-02 but a part number of 11313393 missing the 8 on the end which is one of the three...

Thanks for the post, I found the story both entertaining and & inspiring! Now I want to head off to discover Europe in our MG5. As we are recently child free (last one left home) , it's time for us to discover more journeys around the UK & Europe! especially as we both find the MG5 so lovely to...
