Thanks, I will try that

email and password for ohme app and octopus app - which fb group?

Hi all I have an MG5 PFL LR model, and an Ohme home pro charger. I was happily with OVO but OVO decided no longer to support Ohme on the Charge Anytime tariff, grrr. I switched to Octopus and connected the charger, which in the Ohme is now set to Intelligent Octopus Go tariff. The final step...

Hi all Any idea how to leave my MG5 charge state as I will be not driving it for around 5 weeks? Thanks P

Do you happen to remember what size the bolts were - I hear they are shorter than the normal bolts, thanks.

PFL, 2021, refused update on 19/11/24 basis of advice from MG apparently

Unfortunately Dees of Croydon refused to do the necessary updates on my PFL LR MG5 on Tuesday. They claimed that the MG HQ had blocked update, but were very reluctant to show me the bulletin. When they did allow me to look at part of it on his laptop, it looked the same as the one posted at the...

Hi all, Just tried a new gridserve charger at Moto Grantham, and it was excellent, and it has a 20% discount till October, so 62p per kWh with the new app. Even better, the app shows me the battery percentage, so I can drink my coffee and keep an eye on the state of charge at the same time! They...

Thank you for a very helpful summary, and I will attempt to get the upgrade done when my car gets MOT'd

I just tried eZS app and it works quickly and perfectly for me! MG5 PFL LR, 2021, with Nexas dongle, I can now see the SOH of 98.48% which isn't bad for 16,000 miles. Thanks for the tip! Peter

The best I can get is setting the profile to Roewe eRX5 in Car Scanner, which connects and gives some data, but sadly not the SOH or anything else useful - they come out as zero or blank.

Can anyone help? Bought a NEXAS OBD2 dongle, and using Car Scanner it connects to the dongle ok but it keeps saying can't connect to the car ECU. It goes round trying every protocol and failing. Maybe I have the wrong profile? I set it to MG5 2021-22. See screenshot. Thanks P

Long range

Hi all I've noticed a discrepancy on my MG5 PFL between the consumption reported on the dashboard and the one I calculated using the state of charge percentage before and after a trip. For example yesterday for a 70 mile trip the car reported a consumption of 4.0miles/kWh. However looking at the...

This was in November so they didn't do it. I will try next time.
