    Wheel change at home

    I rotated my tyres/wheels on my PFL as the rears had hardly any wear but the fronts were getting close to the limit- I knew I was getting rid within 6 months (to get my FL) and didn’t want to shell out for new tyres. The TPMS continued to work but they don’t reset to their new location. It...

    Very poor range

    Reset the accumulated trip log by scrolling with the arrows on the right side of the steering wheel and long pressing the ok button. Will then show the full range

    Very poor range

    I’ve had both the SR and LR, the SR didn’t drop as much range in the winter but had a smaller range to begin with. I was surprised the LR only gives about the same winter range as the SR. But come the summer months and the LR fares much better. In my current LR I get around 2.5-2.9 miles per kwh...

    Very poor range

    Basic questions first: what does it read when fully charged in Eco mode with the aircon/heating off? Have the trip computers been reset? 221 miles in normal mode doesn’t sound bad to me in winter. Especially if the heating is on. I do lots of short runs, always have the heating and aircon on and...

    New Owner - Passenger Doors Not Opening From Inside on MG5 Facelift – Normal or Fault?

    Yes, the predicted range on the GOM is based on the recent driving style, weather, having the heating and other electrical draws on. With my heavy right foot I get about 180 miles to a full charge, so 174 at 90% isn’t terrible. If you reset the trip logs it will go back to the full estimated...

    New Owner - Passenger Doors Not Opening From Inside on MG5 Facelift – Normal or Fault?

    Rear doors sounds like you have the child locks on. Front passenger door seems to work if you have the knack, don’t rush it- pull once to unlock and pull twice to open. You can also press the unlock button on the driver door panel. There have been reports of faulty door locks but I think they...

    Roof Rack help please

    I had the PFL Excite and a lot of people tried to find roof bars to fit, I don’t think anyone ever found any. There was some talk about a particular set from Summit but they weren’t available anywhere. I tried universal fit ones for cars without rails but they didn’t fit. I gave up looking and...

    Sat nav history

    From memory there is a button in bottom left of screen with 3 lines and that takes you to the options, but it’s almost a year since I had to clear mine when giving it back

    Remote defrost and heating not working

    I have the SE and can’t get the defrost to work using the app. I’ve tried setting the temperature in the app, manually setting the heater to max in the car and still when I press the front button in the app it just blows cold air that eventually clears just the bit of windscreen where the air...

    Best dash cam position FL

    Finally got round to fitting my dash cam in the FL and looking for advice/tips on best place to mount the front camera. I’ve placed it to the side of the rear view mirror like I did in my PFL, this seems to be the best place to avoid blocking my view. But in the FL the housing behind the mirror...

    Temporary Loss of Wipers and Washers

    I had this on my previous PFL, I think it is down to rushing the start up process. I’d jumped in, switched on and went to clear the dust off and the wipers didn’t work. Pulled up and switched off and on again , but allowed time to boot up properly, all was fine

    Service costs in July 2024

    When I took my SR Excite for its first service in 2023, it was just £35 for a low mileage option. Took my new LR SE for its first service last month, again low mileage, and it was £97! Still better than the £180 normal mileage price. Interestingly this year was the first time I was offered a low...

    Rear View Mirror Removal

    Agreed. I had to reverse about a quarter of a mile down a country lane last summer and I had to keep straightening back up because I was veering off all the time when I thought I was going straight. The reverse camera puts me off when parking as the lines are so far off straight. Have to try and...
