    MG5 Speed limit warning

    I normally turn it off in the menu - speed - but it takes 2 presses to do so.

    Won’t charge at 125kW charger

    Ever since I started to turn off the 'Start' button I have had no problems beginning charging - after it starts then I push the 'Start' again without the foot on the brake to bring the radio back on.

    taller tyres on MG5?

    A Car Speedometer can not be any more accurate than a GPS System - In fact it's about 10% slower - The European GPS System - Gallileo is accurate down to centimeters for mapping. Here is a video that explains accuracy. My main concern is avoiding speeding tickets !

    taller tyres on MG5?

    You should ignore the 'exactness' of the speedometer and use a GPS/Waze/Google Maps for more accurate speed readings. The car speedometer is only a guide and almost always has a lower reading.

    MG5 pre-facelift V2L DIY hack?

    Vehicle to Load (V2L) is not connecting a 12V DC to 230 AC 'Sine wave' converter. V2L is a plug in to the front where you charge up the car - at the end of the cable is a 13A 3 Pin Socket I use mine to make tea on a long journey or if we are having a picnic - with a low wattage kettle. You...

    OBD

    This is for a right hand drive car - your left hand one should be a mirror image. Yes, this is for a different MG but the MG5 EV OBD port is in the same place

    Auto dip headlight - how to reactivate?

    I find that if the lights are set at 'AUTO' then the icon shows on the screen and the auto full/dip works but if you turn on the lights manually to headlamps - during the day for example - then the auto will not show/work.

    Annoying sat nav

    I've the same issue - and it's annoying - You can not make any changes or do anything else but use the phone - maybe it's a built in bluetooth limitation - I don't know - I thought that it would be resolved in the software but maybe not enough of us tell the company about it.

    MG5EV 20 mph signs not recognised

    It doesn't recognise 120kph either and puts in 70 instead which I assume is mph It'll need to recognise 30kph soon in towns

    Tesla supercharger issue

    Well it didn't and I spent some time at that - but eventually found it marked on a charging forum - so just so as others are aware. I've just checked the Tesla app and it just says 8 of 8 stalls available - 250kW max

    Butt pain mg5 trophy

    I was thinking of replacing it with a smaller rest but I did not - it's now just blank. I couldn't rest my left leg with that large 'rest' in place - Ok - the car is ideal for shorter people than me - I'm over 183cm (6 foot) and therefore I could not stretch out my left leg - now it's not too...

    Leaving the trickle charger outdoors overnight/in bad weather.

    Oh OK - In my case I just fitted a cable suitable to carry 32A back to a RCBO/Trip Switch suitable for that current. The cable runs from the main 'fuse board' out to the front porch. I did use the 13A cable out to the 'granny charger'. That charger had no issues with rain or storms.
