    I scratch my MG!!!

    Hi, I have polished many scratches out over the years using an electric car polisher and a maguires compound. We live on a main road and drunk youngsters occasionally key a few on their way back to their pit! I use a cheapish polisher I got from screwfix. Mostly scratches look deep but...

    Hi Shez, thanks for responding. I'm afraid I didn't use any french tolls. Others here will know though.

    Our Trip Bruges!

    Hi All. Just returned from a family holiday to Bruges and this was the first time going to the EU with the STD Range MG5 (71). We’ve owned the MG, without a hitch, for 2 years and 20k miles, charging 95% of the time at home, so not the most experienced at charging elsewhere. The Journey We...

    Car off and charging, how to see % of charge?

    Whilst outside the car, using the key, press the lock button. If the car is already locked the screen will pop up showing the % etc

    Bit of reassurance for the MG5

    Just to note, the boot does fit golf clubs. I put both mine and my son’s in. I do take the drivers out of the bag though, but had to do this in my last bmw 5 estate. But if only my clubs, then I can leave it in the bag. I find the heating and air on is pretty good.

    SyncEv Charger - Scheduled Charging the 5

    Hi All, I have a SyncEv Charger and have used this since October 2021 which has been a great, discreet device. I am looking now to use scheduled charging with Octopus but have not managed to make it work yet. I have tried setting it to the pulse charging and setting the time etc, but it either...

    22kw charger

    Hi, my understanding is that the mg5 cannot draw 22kwh on this connection and can only draw 6 or 7 Kwh. Using a ccs however will deliver a rapid charge at a much higher rate. Hope this helps, I only certain makes can draw the 22kwh correctly.
