Sounds about right for Richmond. I got my car from them and had numerous issues with their poor after sales service. Not had to use AA yet but that could be another surprise to come

I often do Southampton to Lincoln which is about 200 miles door to door and have yet to arrive with more than 20 miles range left either direction so Leeds on 1 charge is unlikely unless you do about 55 all the way. 70 on the motorway kills the range.

There is a new version of android auto but I don't see any way to update the MG5 system. Is it an eventual over the air update or is it for after market head units only? Anyone tried it?

Mine has needed plugging and unplugging a couple of times to get it to connect but today it started disconnecting and reconnecting every few seconds. Thought it was because I was on a bumpy road as the usb plug into the console is not the tightest fit but it carried on when stationary. Tried a...

Was the letter from MG UK or from the dealer you got the car from? My dealer doesn't consider it a serious issue as they haven't been recalled through the DVSA so they are updating each car as and when they come in for other issues or servicing. Not sure quite what they would consider to be a...

I found about the KERS issue from this forum after I had booked the car into the dealer to look at the rear window 'fault' and another problem. I informed them that it might be the aerial as no one at the dealer had mentioned it and they said they would find out. When I took the car in 2 weeks...

Thought I would bring this thread back to the first page of the forum as it concerns a safety issue which many owners may not be aware of. I collected my MG5 on Dec 20th and no one at the dealer mentioned anything about this issue. Having needed to contact the dealer about several other...

My thoughts exactly which is one of the many reasons I am very unhappy with the service I received from Richmond MG in Southampton. Shabby sales tactics, badly trained staff and poor after sales service and product knowledge is all I have had so far from them (just to warn anyone else thinking...

Who got a type 2 lead with their car? I was told MG had stopped supplying the type 2 charging cable and I only got the 13A cable with my MG5. Is this correct or was my dealer just ripping me of as they did with the GardX paint protection?

Thanks..I shall give that a try although a bit of a faff to do that every time you want it off.

Thanks,

I know this is not an option on the 5 but does anyone else feel that even KERS 1 is a bit strong when trying to coast down a modest incline. Without KERS the car would maintain a decent speed but I often find I am having to apply the throttle to maintain a constant speed and prevent slowing...

Does anyone else's luminance control appear to do absolutely nothing to the brightness of the dashboard lights? I can tell absolutely no difference between low, medium and high. Perhaps it's only noticeable in the dark so will try it again at night.

Mine is exactly the same and waiting for the dealer to take a look at it as I thought it was faulty but glad to read that its the aerial....clearly something the dealer doesn't know.

Makes a lot of sense..thanks.
