I simply googled using a Granny lead with an Extn cable. I believe it referred to an EU edict with reasons why, but even so it’s probably just as valid even if we don’t follow EU legislation.

Fortunately no damage to car or Extn lead. As I used it to connect my iPad cable to the iPad and it worked Ok.

We had a Type2 Pod point wall charger at our home. Installed for around £800 with Govt Grant. Would also suggest you get a EVPO0100 type 2 32 5 metre charging lead. We found most ASDA and Tesco Superstores with electric charging facilities are Pod Point Units. So, if your Dealer didn’t include a...

We took our Granny lead with us to Cornwall. Also took a wind up Extn lead as the nearest three pin socket was too far to use the Granny lead alone. It worked with the Extn lead the first time I used it with wall socket about two metres or less from the end of the Granny lead. Zilch the second...

Yes just realised it’s not automatic opening. Don’t think it’s clearly explained in the manual. Only other moan re electric vehicle problems ( not MGs fault ) but we drove down to Cornwall on 3/7/22 from Essex. Not happy with the inconsistency of charging locations. Some work, many don’t...

It is only manual not auto . Key just unlocks it not lift it open.

My handbook says it should unlock and with next button press open. But it doesn’t ??

Can anyone help please. My new MG5 EV LR has two driving warnings that my previous MG5 EV didn’t ( or I didn’t know about ) have. They are a warning beep for Lane deviation and warning beep for speed v proximity to the vehicle ahead. Bot very useful but is there a way to cancel one or the other...

OK Thanks for your help.

I have the MG5 EV Long Range vehicle, new on 1/03/22. This morning I wanted to change the time to Britsh Summertime. I spent 15 minutes going through the Handbook with no mention throughout of how to make this adjustment. The vehicles computer doesn’t have that function. it has oodles of...

I have found that, when I was with EDF, they offered off peak EV charging. But it was from something like Midnight to 6/7am ! Who wants to get out of bed at midnight to plug your EV in ?

Which Audi model did the wheel come from ?

MG5 EV. Recent trip from Romford to location near Basingstoke. On the return trip charge down to 30% popped into MOTO services at Newbury near M4. Very surprised to see just 2 charging points each with 2 cables in a massive car parking area. Theoretically you should be able to charge 4 vehicles...

If the tyre pressures are too high then they have been that way from new when Toomeys delivered the car to me back in January 2021. I haven’t topped them up or touched them in that 6 months.
