I shall keep my early MG5 for a few more years I think.

The condensation is often due to water trapped in the car, It is important now the leak has been repaired to make sure that all all the mats carpets etc are bone dry. Remember every time you get in and out of the car on a wet day you are introducing moister/water into the car. Unlike ICE cars...

Very neat solution. Take the rest of the year off! Time to visit the EV Breakers site! The colour coding is very odd!!!

Another point relating to FITs installations, if you use a charger like a Zappi you should also notify them of its installation, it is very much like a battery and is seen to harvest some of the power that the FITs would have expected. Again if you accept your "Output" FITs payments to be...

If you add a battery to your fits system you will effectively lose your payments, they tend to assume that they get 50% of what is generated. Often they now use the smart meter to report the real export which if you use you power well should be minimal or you can arrange to export power at...

The main thing to watch are the condition of the coolant fluids and basic wear and tear. Once the car is out of the useful warranty cover ther seems little point paying Stealer fees ?

How about Cleevely mobile EV service, they probably know far more about the MG5 EV than MG https://www.cleevelymobile.co.uk/about-us/

Fortunately due to Kers there should not be a lot of brake dust so cleaning should not be too bad, the wheels on my MG5EV are still clean after nearly 5 years.

I think a good application of WD40 every month may be a good idea? Now where is the can of WD40 ?

I use pen and paper and still have my sliderule and still pay for things with cash

The only critisism I have is front tyre wear is a bit higher than I would expect. Same problem as my Saab 99 turbo I use to own , too much power through the front wheels. In damp slippery condition always keep in Eco mode to reduce wheel spin Otherwise great car. I intend to run mine for at...

Out of interest I note by 02/09/25 we have generated the same amount of power as we generated in the whole of 2024

To my simple mind I wonder if there is a poor connection on the output of the Battery to the motor? May be a bad connector or cable crimp that has a bit of resistance, after 4 -5 mins use it gets a bit hot resistance increases and send the system into alarm ? Interesting to find out if this...

Looks a bit like a stealership to me. Those discs look pretty reasonable to me and I am always keen to ensure my brakes are A1 I would recommend that you spend a few days with Kers set at one and drive around being a bit heavy on the brakes, this treatment I am sure will clean up the disc...

Hi I am very sorry and suprised to hear about your issue. I would hold your ground, I would assume that at all the subsequent services the battery performance was checked and found to be perfectly ok. The mode of failure you describe was rather sudden and points to some form of component failure...
