I totally agree with you it does seem strange but I would put my house on that there is no way I could get anywhere near 200 mls . My typical working day is around 6-7 hrs I only have the heating set at 22 degrees and the fan set on 3. I must add that I turn the heater off when I don’t have a...

I bought a long range MG5 to replace my previous MG5 I bought the car in April everything was fine until the recent cold snap because as a taxi driver I put the heater on all the time I’m at work. This absolutely hammers the battery way way more than my last shorter range MG5. The official range...

Thanks for the suggestion I’ll look into it.

Well all I can go off is what they wrote on the service sheet but I must say that car never faulted in the 60,000 mile I covered. Cheers.

Right so hopefully the last instalment. I plugged my car in last night on the eco+ setting after downloading firmware from my energi for the zappi battery,status was 69% when I checked this morning it had charged the car to 100% after being at work today I’ve used 42% I’ll do the same tonight...

Sorry I forgot to say about the granny charger I plugged that in yesterday and it did charge the car obviously very slowly so that’s when I decided to try the eco+ setting for through the night which didn’t work. I’ll let you all know what happens tomorrow

First of all I’d like to thank everyone who has helped me it’s really appreciated, so plugged car in for it to charge on the cheap (0030-0430) car didn’t charge just showed charge delayed so I unplugged it and charged it on the fast setting this charged the car from 36%-83% so I could go to work...

Thanks for your post, my zappi charger was installed in 2021 with my old mg5 the 52kWh. I would return from work plug it in and it would charge from about 45 ish% to 100% in the 4hrs I’ve not had any software updates , I am in the uk. When I try to charge it now within seconds it displays charge...

Since I’ve come back from work I’ve tried to charge it on fast setting now it displays with pilot problem I haven’t got a clue what pilot problem is, I’m trying to find out more on the net but I must admit I find it very hard when I haven’t got a clue Sorry I didn’t explain I don’t know anyone...

Thanks very much for replying sorry for the delay in responding but I’ve been to work. My mg5 is the long range pre-facelift model and I can’t seem to find anything on the car that relates to charging I tried charging on the octopus cheap rate last night I set the zappi to eco+ for 0030-0430 but...

Here’s where I get embarrassed simply put I don’t know what you mean, I’m with octopus on octopus go tariff with my last mg5 I used to finish work( I’m a taxi driver) plug the car in leave it and the car would charge between 0030-0430 the times are set on the zappi ,as I say this is the long...

Can anyone tell me why when I plug my zappi charger into my mg5 long range after a couple of minutes it stops charging and displays charge delayed , I’ve had this car about 3 weeks now and had nothing but problems when charging ,my last mg5 was the shorter range one and never had a problem...

Cheers mate I think I’ll call the dealership ? Hi mate , I looked at the owners manual changed the battery to a new recommended battery done what the handbook said but the fob will not synchronise with the car ,so even after doing everything the manual said I think I will have to go to the...

Cheers Alb, I thought that as I did look at the service schedule but the car has had 3 services now and the dealership hasn’t mentioned the battery, me being me I didn’t even think about it until it started warning me on the dash.

Thanks very much for your help it is appreciated, I just didn’t know what would happen when you take the old battery out as a member of my family has a vw golf and tried to replace the battery and ended up at the main dealer where they charged her £600 .
