My dad finally got his CCU replacement on 4th March, and both AC and DC charging now working. Not sure yet if he's got the issue where it ignores the charge limit, but will report back when he has tried it.

MG dealer predicting 9th Feb date for CCU arrival.

So - quick update on Dad's MG4 Trophy - dealer after several trips in/out to convince them it's a hardware issue has now ordered new CCU. No forecast yet on delivery times. Will keep you posted.

Dad's MG4 LR Trophy in with Holdcroft MG Stoke today - pretty useless, claiming that it's my Dad's charger when we've tried it on 2 other 7kw chargers that are working fine with other cars (including my MG5). He has an MG4 courtesy car, so of course he should be able to prove that his charger is...

My Dad's MG4 Trophy is having similar issues. Charges fine on DC including a trip to Scotland over Xmas, but not charging at home reliably, charging very slow and keeps dropping out. It will re-start fine if you have the time to keep podging the button in the MG app, but still charges very...

Well, given all of the failed attempts to charge MG5s listed here I wasn't hopeful that I'd be able to report something positive. A little back history, a couple of years ago we had charged our 2021 MG5 LR at Tesla Superchargers without issue. A few months ago we tried again at the Wokingham...

I bought a service plan via the MG website 2 years ago for our MG5 for Glyn Hopkin. Seemed the best value based on below. Since then MG appear to have increased the prices, but still better than the standard prices Glyn Hopkin quote.

Had my MG5 LR done on Friday, took less than 30 minutes, all working fine (tested in the dark when you can see the brake light come on in heavy(ish) deceleration in Kers 3 mode the rear view mirror). Couldn't see any changes in the software version numbers in the "Secret" engineering mode...

As expected recall received this morning.

So, there is indeed a statement in the Type approval regs (not sure if these have been superseded) stating Electric regenerative braking systems as defined in paragraph 2.17. of this Regulation, which produce a retarding force upon release of the accelerator control, shall generate the signal...

We did a long journey in the dark in our MG5 EV LR last week, and in any KERS mode (including 3) the brake lights don't come on unless you press the brake pedal. You can see the lights come on in the rear view mirror when it's dark. Even in KERS 3, and braking sharply, they don't come on until...

Hi, we ordered our MG5 LR Exclusive (Westminster Grey) on 18/8 with Glyn Hopkin St Albans, arrived a week or so ago, now on our drive. They did say some of the other colours like Piccadilly Blue would take longer (up to a month longer). Hope that helps!
