    Cycle-carrier

    I have an MG5 LR pre-facelift. I also have a generic cycle-carrier (that fitted a Skoda Fabia estate) - straps onto the rear window above the number-plate. i will see if it fits the MG. Does anyone know if this model is designed to carry this accessory?

    Ventilation / Condensation

    i drive an MG5 LR pre-facelift. in the recent cold damp weather, all the windows have been steaming up quickly. Wiping them with a variety of cloths & sponges mostly just smears them. The only thing to work is using the windscreen fan, but once i turn that off it steams & smears again quite...

    "Connected Not Charging"

    Just happened. an MG5LR pre-facelift. Not sure the 7kW company, but another car was already charging; the CCS was Instavolt & again another car was charging. I tried two different pillars at each. I have used both these locations before. I occasionally granny-charge at home.

    "Connected Not Charging"

    Can anyone suggest what went wrong here, and how to deal with it? l tried multiple public points, 7kW and CCS. No power got through but i got the message "connected not charging". At home, the granny-charger did connect & did charge. What data did not get through? & what can I try next? [ Edit...

    Optimum speed to improve range on MG5 LR pre-facelift

    "Best advice is that if you aren't in a hurry tuck in behind something large travelling at about 60 which will give a significant reduction in your drag and reduce the impact of base loads." How far behind? i have seen other cars so close i doubt they would be visible to the lorry's driver. Is...

    No Charge flap open detection?

    What happens if you drive off with the flap open, and/or the charge-point rubber bung hanging off, & it rains?

    Winter Driving

    MG5 LR is the first automatic car i have had. Apart from the "drive" option, is there a setting i don't know about for driving in icy conditions? Some automatics i saw years ago had a "first gear" setting which the drivers told me was to stop the wheels over-revving on ice.

    Connecting a CD player

    The problem with the USB Stick is a) you have to save in the right format to be recognised by the car (i have a 2022 MG5), & b) it will only recognise single tracks - which means re-naming every track so you can play a whole album (eg a classical piece in sequential movements) in the right order...

    Rain

    Hello, what advice have you got for charging in the rain? How do you keep your cables dry? How do you stop water getting into the connectors? Do i need to dry everything off before i close the connector cover? i know this can't be a fair-weather-only car, but some official guidance would be useful.

    Route planning ?

    Check the charger speeds at your route stop options - do you want a half-hour or multi-hour stop while you charge?

    MG5 radio

    Can anyone tell me what settings i need to tweak? 1) FM radio: when travelling a distance this does not seem to retune automatically to keep to the same station 2) when a traffic report flashes up, i can't hear anything; the only option is a button to "end" which takes me back to the radio even...
