    MGS5 Trophy Long Range - 3 phase charging ?

    I am sure my UK Spec MGS5 Trophy doesn't have the 3 phase pins in the car side of the charger (I may have to double check if people say otherwise)... so it won't matter what cable you have?

    MGS5 charging cables

    Ditto - Single Phase Type 2 supplied with the MGS5 Good job we kept our granny that came with the MG4 before trading it in :)

    My MGS5 Trophy LR has arrived!

    Well this post didn't age well. We now have our VRM issued and 24 hours have past - car to be collected on Saturday. VRM not recognised by the current insurance company (Hastings) and upon calling them, they said the car cannot be insured. Running a manual "new customer" search makes me think...

    Which Colour?

    We are going from Smurf Blue 4 to a Grown Up Blue S5. Plain white is certainly a constant reminder of company car no thrills edition. Not sure the Red is right for the shape of the car, but the HS in the showroom did look good in it with the red stitching.

    Regen setting memory

    My MG4 Trophy always resets to 3 (I drive on 1 so have a * assigned) each time... So was hoping the MGS5 that is on order fixed that.

    MG4 radio issues

    I also have this split. By the 20% fix is hold the home button for 10 seconds and let the whole thing reboot. I am still trying to work out what triggers the "working" radio, or "paused but working" radio split. It's about as random as the bluetooth connecting to the phone or not

    My MGS5 Trophy LR has arrived!

    We've got ours ordered for delivery in July, hopefully a painless swap over with the insurance by then with the systems being able to see it, and essentially the same car as the outgoing MG4 won't increase premiums (we hope)

    MG5 SR to MGS5 LR - considering upgrading after test drive

    The MG4 which the MGS5 is an improvement on, has a very stable speed limit setting. The only annoyance in the 4 is that it defaults to off every time you get in the car... and have to enable it, either to manual or auto sign recognition. I use it more than cruise control as, again in the 4...

    Considering swapping MG4 for an MGS5 - Test Drive Thoughts.

    As the OP to this thread - an update.

    Decision time - keep or replace?

    Well - with a 3 month build time, and 3 months left on the PCP - we've ordered the S5. Although the ER would have been nice, we've not struggled for range in the LR, and the whole improved infotainment made it an easier choice for the same (within 20quid) 3yr 0% PCP. The updated 4 later in the...

    Steering wheel heating

    I seem to remember the previous version of the app in the UK used to have wheel heating, but the redesign removed it? As people say, it's quick enough when turned on, at most it will heat the air in the drivers side a little but not a lot else.

    Decision time - keep or replace?

    We are in the same situation, with the same upside down equity, and have been considering options. We also had good fortune when trading in and buying the car just as the used car price bubble was bursting - so expected the GFV to not be realistic. No pre-registered on our radar, but we were...

    Considering swapping MG4 for an MGS5 - Test Drive Thoughts.

    So - our MG4 Trophy Phase2 is out of PCP in a few months, and at the moment running at an equity loss. Our original plan was to "hand it back" for the FGMV, and then pick up a discounted ER (in Orange! which is the lesser of colour evils for the missus) on a new PCP at 0% for 36 months. However...

    Which colour shows the dirt?

    Overall I don't find Blue too bad - however the "dip" in the bonnet/hood seems to gather dirt after the moisture gathers there and pulls pools of cr ap into it that cant escape.
