    Archived Winter Wheels

    Perhaps day or two late but as these won’t fit my S5, they need to go to make space in the garage. The tyres are like new and have only been used for one season but the alloys were secondhand and have a few marks and scuffs but do the job. I’m in north Birmingham for collection or I can...

    Upcoming 2026 SUV MGS5 competitors worth waiting for

    The 2026 Leapmotor C10 is supposed to be a big upgrade on the launch model, if the price stays the similar to this year it should be another serious competitor. We looked very closely at one but it was still behind the MG S5 at the time.

    Winter Tyres

    I was going to look out for a set of 17" alloys and fit winter tyres to them and keep the nice 18" ones for summer. I won't worry about tyre pressure indicators either, I can check the pressure myself. I've done this on previous cars and am a big fan of winter tyres. Andy

    MGS5 Information & Reviews

    I messaged them last week and they confirmed they’re developing a frunk for the S5, they’ve taken scans etc. and hoping to get one out later this year. 😎 I’m on the Leeds now to pick up my new car from Luscombes. #excited!

    July MGS5 deals

    I was very tempted by the C10 until I found out they’d launched the 2026 model back in May (in China) this year with double the charge speed, more power and a whole bunch of other refinements. It’s not available over here yet but if the price stays the same it will take some beating.

    July MGS5 deals

    I did think about keeping the MG5 as we really need an estate but ultimately it felt old compared to the newer cars - I’d have bit their hand off for a new facelift version but there are none available now and I wanted something more modern. Hopefully there will be more estates available in the...

    July MGS5 deals

    I did look at that but the bank loans work out at higher monthly payments for longer typically. Picking up the car next Saturday so all good 😊

    July MGS5 deals

    My MG5 is going back today, the PCP finished and they’re taking the car back with nothing for me to pay. The balance was £12,000 but trade value was only £8500 so I’d loose out keeping it or using it as a trade in. I’d been looking at a Leapmotor C10 until I found out the already released 2026...

    July MGS5 deals

    I’m in two minds, currently have an offer of 0% pcp but full price car. I can’t afford to pay cash and bank loans are still too much interest. Not sure what to do. Andy 🤪

    Archived Accessories

    Hi All. My car has come the end of it's 4 year agreement so it's time to send it back. With that in mind I am taking out all the extras I installed at the time - I'll post pictures laters if there's any interest! ... MG floor mats (rear and passenger are like new, drivers has 22,000 miles on...

    Thoughts after 24 hours

    We have a Honda e as well and I find the one pedal driving a bit of a pain when trying to reverse/park so typically turn it off for those manoeuvres.

    Successful Tesla Charge!

    Yeah, we have a battery jump pack too, when the cars first came out, people were having the 12v battery go flat because they only partially started the car (pressed start without foot on the brake) and ran it flat. What I did find with the jump pack though was that it could run down over time...

    Successful Tesla Charge!

    Sorry, I don’t know. The first Tesla charge we did was only 35kW but we’ve just arrived in Nice and used a few Tesla chargers on the way down that were all faster- saw 81kW at one stage today.
