I have an original SR MG5 and have been trying to get the software defect to be fixed under warranty. I can not see any exemption for software defects in the warranty terms. My dealer has checked the car for updates which they agreed to do free of charge. They found that it needs an update to...

I finally got a reply from [email protected]. They say: "following testing our vehicles are compatible with any Tesla charger which Tesla have opened to the network. As long as your vehicle is carrying the latest level of software. There is no specific update for this it is the...

I have also charged up to the 80's but at the moment I'm only getting around 45 at Gridserve and MFG. Maybe it's just the cold weather. I'm also still pursuing the Tesla charging issue with MG UK - no response so far. Even if it is not regarded as a safety issue Tesla are rolling out V4 chargers...

Thanks Les, agree with everything there. I'm going to push for the safety aspect see if that has any effect. Dave

I've tried a Tesla V3 and V4 too on my SR MG5 and get the same problem. I contacted Tesla about this and they replied that it will not connect due to a safety issue. They say "We can currently confirm that the MG does not meet our current safety protocols, we are working in partnership so...

Me too - exactly the same. I thought I'd cracked it by turning blue tooth off a few weeks ago but then it started not working with blue tooth off.

Thanks for your replies, do they apply to the MG5 also? as my manual says

I recently tried my first public charge at a PodPoint charger and that worked fine (especially as it was free!). However when I set off I noticed the 12V battery voltage was down to 12.2V. I had been listening to the radio with air-con turned off. I tested this at home the next day, charging...

Great - thanks, just had to change the charge end setting. It's a great bit of kit the zappi and I've had very good support from myenergi.

Thanks, I agree about the solar. I had the zappi since 2018 because I had a Kia Niro PHEV on lease but handed it back early because I wasn't going anywhere in the lockdowns. Have you got any tips on the compatibility settings?

Just picked up my new MG5 Excite yesterday. Very pleased with it so far. The spec is impressive for a base model. It has all the must have features on my checklist : Cruise control Satnav Parking sensors Reversing camera I'm not sure what the fuss is about the built-in Satnav. It seems pretty...

Thanks Les and pjmuk, recent cars we have owned did not have the option so pleased that the MG5 does. From your experience I would definitely get a space saver, not keen on the compressor and gunk solution.

Hi Les, sorry I meant the extra weight being carried around all the time.

Has anyone who bought a space saver wheel noticed if it affects the range much? I guess this is one of the reasons they don't include them with cars any more. Thanks.
