Hi Graham, I took out a 4 year plan through Toomey MG, booked online, which works out like this: Year 1: £97.73 Year 2: £182.14 Year 3: £97.73 Year 4: £206.78 Plus the MOT, which comes to a total of £696.23 (including a management fee of £54) so yours, over the three years sounds quite...

I recently upgraded to an MG5 FL and have been having problems with CarPlay dropping out (more frequently than it used to on my HS PHEV). Sometimes this happens when the right/left turn cameras activated onscreen, so I’ve temporarily disabled that function and on other occasions it just...

Well, I collected my car on Saturday and can say that I'm very happy with it. Strange moving from the HS Phev Exclusive to the MG 5 LR Trophy that it doesn't have the electronic boot (something my wife isn't happy with!). Also, the front passenger seat has a manual adjustment lever instead of...

About £4000. I added paint protection and gap insurance too.

Well I finally made it to my local dealership today and found the car is 10cm lower than the HS PHEV. I had a test drive and ended up signing on the dotted line. I pick up a pre-registered car with 15 miles on the clock next week. Dynamic Red Trophy long range facelift. 21 days old.

Thanks very much. I realised that after I’d posted, but it would still give me a rough idea I guess 🙂

Hi, I currently drive an MG HS PHEV which I’ve owned for nearly 2 years and I’m now looking at going fully electric and I quite like the look of the MG5 facelift. Would a current owner be able to give me the height from the driver’s seat (seating position) to the ground please? I’m quite tall...

The car was in my driveway, as the weather was so hot, I was popping in and out but didn’t scrutinise everything the AA bloke did. He was good and seemed to know what he was doing.

I’ll be onto MG on Monday. I need a car from Monday onwards as I’m driving to Cornwall next Friday for a holiday. The car the MG AA cover provides is only for 2 days as per their policy. MG will need to sort out a courtesy car for Monday onwards.

Not that I’m aware. They were with the car for nearly an hour trying different things. Luckily, I was at home otherwise I’d have had more troubles.

I’ve had the AA out and they’ve towed the car to MG because they couldn’t start it, and the diagnostic computer says there’s a chassis communication fault. Now I’ve got to wait until MG can look at the car as they’re chock full for at least 2 weeks.

Typically, on the day I really needed to go out and do things, I got into the car and it wouldn’t go! I kept getting ’HV battery shut off’ on the screen whether I was in Auto or Electric mode. Looking at the 12 volt battery meter, it is red and well below 12v. I’ve no idea why. I last used...

It’s around £28 a month. I’ll have to dig out the paperwork and check the finer details.

I bought and collected my car from Toomey MG in Basildon last May and they didn’t mention / try to sell me a service plan. I looked online and found that Apple MG in the Dartford area we’re doing one at around £28 per month including the year 4 service. I’m booked in for my first service on...

You’ll find that it’s also gone up to £155 with the recent budget. There was mention of it on the bottom of my form 🙄
