    MG dealership problem after a breakdown

    The MG EV5 LR and S range is the most reliable car . But finding out the Charging instructions for the car is imperative. REMEMBER that the max charge recommended on the MG site is CCS 80 kW for a very short time ( Mins ) 50 kW CCS is far safer and fast . This is a fact, I had a simular...

    MG4 EV SR range

    Don't worry it's pretty common with All EV cars, not just MG .I have an MG 5 LR which is 250 miles average in the Summer. But in the Winter you get about 210 in the winter which is classed as pretty good. Your Heater is the biggest bug bear in the winter, the shorter time you have it on the more...

    Heat Pumps

    Yes, mine cost £700 2 years ago to fit a crabtree 10 way metal board and 9 crabtree RCBO'S. It's nice to have one circuit trip when you have an earth fault instead of the whole power. RCBO'S have come down in price since then. Hope this helps. Mine was done by Approved Company so costs more. NEIC.

    12V battery low warning light HS PHEV

    Hi Sorry to hear your problems with your 12v Battery. I personally don't have a PHEV so don't know where the 12v Battery gets its charge from from an alternator from the fuel engine or from the rectifier on your Electric Battery. You need to go to a PHEV dealer. If you have a MG dealership near...

    12V battery (theres many of these!)

    The BM 2 Monitor is good . With having the BM2 I found the only time the MG5 LR 12v Battery charges from the dc-dc rectifier is when the car is in the Ready position either parked up or Driving .
