On a cold morning, put a fan heater in front of the drivers' seat, for 20min, you won't need to use the heater for 30min at least! (and wear a coat)

A lorry can't brake faster than I can! so if you have slower reactions, just follow a bit further back! BTW, you don't have to be too close to the lorry, if it's high, it leaves a long slipstream behind it. Have the MG in Volts-Amps-RPM screen (pity it doesn't have mph in the spare quarter!) and...

My best efficiency on a SR MG5 was 5.3miles/kWh, over 111.4miles. Driving around 50mph behind lorries! Here's a picture for those who won't believe it. Mostly on M1. At that rate my range would be 301miles! (on a SR)

Tighten the valve, using a valve tool. they are on some metal dust caps. if it doesn't stop going down, you probably have a puncture (nail or screw, still in the tyre...)

Previous post editted. I posted it in another thread 🧵

That is atrocious efficiency, I did 4.2 on a trip from SW London to Basingstoke today and I was doing 60-70 mph. In an MG5. On the way back, it was more like 80-90! And that was about 3.3. you should really try to slipstream more lorries! 😉

You only got 3.4 miles/kWh?? I did 4.2 on a trip from SW London to Basingstoke today and I was doing 60-70 mph. In an MG5. On the way back, it was more like 80-90! And that was about 3.3. you should really try to slipstream more lorries! 😉

Hi Steve, I see no one actually answered your question, they just expected MG service to fix it under warranty! Those of us with practical skills, whose cars (MG5) are not under warranty would fix it ourselves! Also owners of other cars (MG4, ZS, etc) were answering, pipe not nec. in the same...

Used to always come on when I put a bag of shopping on the rear seat. Now I leave the rear seat belts fastened when the seats are empty, and put the shopping on top! It usually doesn't come on for a few seconds when you start. It certainly shouldn't be on for reversing.

I'm currently thinking about using 6x 52.5kWh MG5 batteries from scrapped cars (about £1200 ea) to make a 309kWh grid storage, so that the customer charges it from PV during the day, and then sells it to the grid during the 16-19:00 peak time!!! 🤣 (at 100kW) If anyone reading this knows the...

Wow! I gotta get me 10 of these chinese gizmos, and increase my range to 1000 miles!!! Electric Vehicle Range Extending Generator Battery Car Solar Wind Power Generat✈ | eBay 😆🤣

You need a 2nd generation smart meter.

It's designed in China. They have very few tall people!

Well, I thought this site was for MGEVs, which hybrid cars are not. If you can return it, I would, and buy an EV instead. For comparison, yesterday it was ~4deg I drove 105km, about 60% on motorways and major roads, and achieved 4.4miles/kWh which is equivalent of 180mpg. My highest revs were...

I'm a professional in the field of renewable energy. PV modules (panels) are at an all-time low cost, you can get e.g. 540W half-cell mono for ~£55inc. (~48+VAT) they tend to be larger than older panels, efficiency of 21.5% not uncommon. 670W is available, but these are bigger, 233x 115cm You...
