with the world moving to SUVs i was pleased to see VW are doing an estate in their ID7 tourer, but then i saw the price and put it right out my price range https://www.volkswagen.co.uk/en/electric-and-hybrid/electric-cars/id7-tourer.html such a shame that MG are no longer doing an estate, the...

Slight change of plan, I think I have found the actuator as a spare part, now all I need to establish is how to get the charge flap off. I think it's the whole front that comes off, but pointers welcomed how I can get to the back of the charge port?

Sorry I should have specified. It's a pre face-lift I have.

Sorry to resurrect this thread, anyone got instructions how to remove the locking pin? Mines got worse now so looking to use the magnets but the pins at the moment latching it closed (which i can't then open without a large thump) so if I can remove locking pin that would help

I heard last night from my local dealer that the mgs5 ( b class suv) is going to be followed up by a "full sized, all electric suv" later this year. Anyone else heard this rumour?

i went with the heavier and heavier thump to be honest to get mine open

my my - is that fold flat seats i see? great news if they are, annoys me that they dont fold flat in the mg5.

shame, i was hoping for an ER on launch otherwise i might be temped elsewhere. With many other marques releasing larger batteries this year (the Peugeot 99kWh as an example) i really was hoping for a 350+mile range in at least one of the models

i see the website has been taken down, maybe they jumped the gun slightly....

I hope when it gets over here they bring out a bigger battery version. If they do it would be ideal for my needs, all I wanted was a mg5 with rear wheel drive and a 70+kwh battery at a reasonable price point Here's hoping!

i know its not formally announced yet, but anyone know the battery sizes they will be offering? https://www.mg.co.uk/new-cars/mgs5-ev

i even went to the effort of removing the engine cover on the weekend to see if i could lubricate the rear of the pin, but couldnt find anyway to get to the other side of the charge port without going to the effort of removing the bumper

on mine, i have held off gluing the magnets on - i have found a workaround for mine atleast. if i pull the pin manually (once the flap is open) by hand to the full extent where the pin can come out to, then when i push the flap closed it "clicks" into place (does need a firm shove to click)...

I'm going to try an adaptation of the Padaung post above, but with magnets, as these are cheap at the moment. No idea if it will work but I will report back! https://www.amazon.co.uk/Magnet-Expert%C2%AE-25mm-thick-Neodymium/dp/B00TACL9OU?ref_=ast_sto_dp

looks like mine has succumbed to this same problem where it wont shut / latch closed properly so looks like ill be heading into the shed this coming weekend to find a DIY solution - shame really
