EV Grant Gov Doc If you have an order in you should be fine.

I bought my MG5EV LR from Craig at Gallaghers. Very simple transaction, smooth experience, helpful staff and a generous test drive time. Easy to deal with. Thanks again.

Guess-o-meters are just that. I drive M56/M6 and mixed A/B roads and work off the battery percentage rather than focus too much on the GOM. I would say the advertised range is very fair compared to other EV brand over- estimates. Anyway, I did my first charge to 100% yesterday to balance the...

Biffo post about half way down

MG MAZE Mods move if required 😇

I think MG know they could sell all their MG5s without Affinity. They might have generated enough interest partly due to the Affinity scheme and partly to the perceived good value of a decent range car. At a guess MG might also want to put the price point nearer to the facelift model when it...

Mrs Caldosan loves my new MG5 and whilst she is a Mini fan, is underwhelmed by their electric offerings. A new MG3 EV might just turn her away from the dark side into the light.

That’s very interesting, the beam pattern was very similar. Ordered a pair. WTS Osrams.

Step by step bulb change. You can choose your own bulb style of course. You are all grown ups. LEDs look different but connectors are the same. If you get to MOT time and the bulbs you have insisted upon are inappropriate (allegedly m’lud) then swap to the originals which you kept safe all...

Looks good biffo 👌
