    MG4 estate to replace MG5

    Looking at the picture you can see it's definitely a render mocked up by AutoCar - Look at the back wheel compared to the front. They've hacked the front of an MG4 to the back of an MG5 Trophy I'd definitely be interested though, gotta love an estate and it's the most logical shape for an...

    USB Cable for Android Auto/CarPlay

    I use Aawireless in my mg5, cost a bit more than a USB cable admittedly but so worth it. Took about 5 minutes to set up initially and now by the time I've turned on the car and put on the seat belt Android Auto is up and running and my Spotify playlist is already playing. I've also put a...

    Demister

    I use shaving foam, works a treat. Put a big dollop on a clean microfibre cloth and start rubbing over the windows (inside). Just keep rubbing until the foam is all buffed in. Last about 2-3 weeks and is perfect, no missing at all, even with 5 of us in the car after a wet Sunday football...

    IoW family holiday - Charger advice please

    Brilliant, thanks for insider knowledge. I think all Morrisons are the same, the chargers in my local one don't work either and never have. And we always have a good time when e come over to the island, and hopefully I'll even bring a bit of sunshine work me 😄

    IoW family holiday - Charger advice please

    Brilliant, thanks for that, great information. I think there's a charger at Portsmouth Ferry port as well so I might do a quick top up there if I get the chance. Was thinking about using the one at Fishbourne for the trip home. How much driving did you do over the week? What are you driving?

    IoW family holiday - Charger advice please

    Hi all, have a FL MG5 Trophy and I'm bring the clan to the island for a two week holiday. Looking at Zapmap and Bonnet it looks really sparse for charging points. Are there any islanders that can let me know what the real situation is like, I'll be staying in Shanklin and doing a few trips out...

    Lets all see your beautiful MGs

    Not even sure it had the chance to kick in - Was a bump at traffic lights - They went to go, then didn't. I still did, and seemingly wasn't paying enough attention. Lesson learned. Just managed to catch them at exactly the right (wrong?) angle to cause the damage and now playing the waiting...

    MG5 Trophy Real World Consumption Thread

    Latest from Feb, mostly an 18 mile round trip commuting to work on 30-40mph roads with a 120 round trip to Southampton on motorways sitting around 70 (and no more officer), all done set on Eco2 apart from the occasional blip to Sport1 on the motorway. And always with a boot full of football gear...

    MG5 Trophy Real World Consumption Thread

    I started running eco3 as well, and actually found it more efficient to run Eco2 for a majority of the time and only switch to Eco3 in start-stop traffic and round the estate.

    MG5 Trophy Real World Consumption Thread

    642 miles across Jan - Mostly just A & B roads with a couple of Motorway journeys to and from Heathrow thrown in for good measure. Considering the temperatures and the fact I'm still trying to find the most efficient way to drive I think 3.3 isn't too bad Started to get 5.2 appearing on the...

    MG5 Trophy radio keeps swapping to media

    Mine does exactly the same thing if I don't have the USB plugged in. Not sure what I can do to resolve it, other than to always plug the phone into the USB cable. I've got an Android phone, does this happen to anyone with an iPhone? It might be another one of those 'unique' Android features we...

    Charging cable choices…

    Looks like they wised-up to that, or it was a special offer as it's not there anymore unfortunately.

    Auto headlight flashing

    Picked up the new car a week early (lucky old me), so I've only driven about 40 miles so far, but I can report that with the Trophy LR the auto headlights haven't (so far and keeping various digits crossed) started flashing randomly. I'll keep an eye on it and update if that changes.
