    Dealer offering superior financial package

    Their calculations started at the current retail price on their website. I even have the offer document showing all their calculations. No discounts !! Our original PCP was also at 1.9%, not the current 8.9% offered. Looking forward to hearing how your negotiations go. Good luck.

    Dealer offering superior financial package

    Hi all, has anyone else received an invitation from their dealer offering them an upgrade on their current car citing a, and I quote, superior financial package to support the upgrade of your current car to a brand new or approved used model at a significantly reduced price. We did, by post...

    Amber light

    I've got a 72 PFL LR Excite and get this quite often. It does not appear to affect the driving and, as far as I am aware, it simply means the camera/sensors cannot resolve what it has seen/sensed. I did ask about it at the 1yr service and was told it was nothing to worry about unless, of course...

    Speed Limiter

    On the various Mercedes limos I drive, the cruise actually has LIM setting for max speed. It says LIM on the stalk. That would be handy.

    Fitted mud flaps

    Fitted the same ones to my pre-FL about 6 months ago and they really help to reduce the amount of mud etc. down the sides of the car, stops most stones & tar from hitting the paintwork and they enhance the look of the car too. Good choice. ps, didn't apply the stickers either.

    New MG5 and Mudflaps!

    Hi, I used the AliExpress mudflaps. They fit well, look great and work really well. I did also need to source longer screws for the front recessed mounting points.

    Car mats

    Carmats.co.uk did the mats for my MG5 and they were very good value. And look good too.

    Dropping like a stone

    I have several dealings with WBAC, as a guide to lowd est price I am likely to get, antheir value has proved, to me anyway, to be wildly short of the actual value achievable. I would not see their valuation as representative and would certainly not make any major financial decisions based on...

    MG5 Off Peak Home Charging

    I am using a Myenergi Zappi on Bulb EV tarrif, giving 4 hours at c.11p/KWh. I know this will change soon as Bulb has been acquired by Octopus. It has worked brilliantly to-date and I have my fingers firmly crossed for the future. Good luck

    MG5 mud flaps, which are best?

    Hi, we took our test drive, in an Exclusive, way back in Feb 22, then waited till November 22 for delivery. During that time I only saw a couple of MG5s on the road and those that I did see had roof rails. They must all have been Exclusives too. It had passed me by that the Excite did not have...

    Roof bars, what roof bars?

    Same car, different wheels?

    Roof bars, what roof bars?

    Mystery resolved. Either way the car looks good. I even prefer the nose styling to the new facelift version. Which may seem a little contentious but I guess styling is a personal thing. Thanks for your help. Nigel

    Roof bars, what roof bars?

    I confess to have driven an Exclusive demonstrator, which did have roof rails. Love the car either way. Cheers
