    MG5 Battery SOH on Car Scanner

    Sorry I should have said. It's a cheep bluetooth dongle. I do get some stats coming back and if I go into all sensors I can see soh for example, but I don't have anything on the dashboard page. I think i can make a dashboard, but the ones shown seemed very nice and I couldn't see them anywhere?

    MG5 Battery SOH on Car Scanner

    Just got myself a dongle, daft questions. How do you see those dashboards shown in this thread? I've applied this car profile but can't see dashboards that show those battery settings? My car is the non facelift mg5 long range

    How to change charge flap latch (actuator) [MG5 Pre facelift]

    finally another (non mg) estate EV

    yeah i think its mad there arent more. i cant help but feel they have to come back into vogue to get better milage out of batteries If you then apply my default filter of £40k price point to any of those lists the lists get very small indeed.

    finally another (non mg) estate EV

    Charging port cover not closing

    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?

    Charging port cover not closing

    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?
