    Tricky Chargers

    I bought my MG5 LR with the intention (when electric charging was reasonable) to charge at home. The few times I get a charge away from home, I ponder if I should have kept my 65mpg Citroen Berlingo. It has to be a really special trip to go beyond the 100 (winter) and 130 (summer) max each way...

    Ventilation / Condensation

    If the materials in the car are damp or wet this may make condensation worse.Difgicukt to dry.One tip is to try and keep your vehicle parked in the sun whenever you can and if safe open the windows on sunny days. Also if removable carpets are damp dry them out.

    so.. who misses their ICE car....

    For info how economical is your Rio? I had a 2016 i20 2.1 D. 1st 28 months AVG 62 mpg. All this time something was amiss. Eventually by default (an ex Peugeot technician arrived at the Hyundai dealership) it was sorted - too much/often diesel was "cleaning" the catalyser. The last 18 months AVG...

    MG5 Pre facelift (LR) tyre choices

    For interest that does seem a high mileage for tyres, I would expect 20,000 minimum. Thete is a youtuber using our version as a van for electric car repairing ( so pretty loaded) and had achieved 40,000 plus miles on 1st set of tyres. If that is your norm, maybe worth swapping corners back/...

    Stunned !

    NOTE it is easy to completely remove the seat 2 plastic pegs at front- pull seat up locally at each peg, a central guide at rear locates the seat. A little fiddly removing and fitting/ re- aligning the seat belts. After a couple of god's is simple- nice flat load space, recessing where seat was.

    MG5LR ( May22) / Zappy charger

    Generally I home charge and ALWAYS have to check on the dash that there is a charge time showing. Occasionally for various undetermined reasons this does not always happen. Yesterday evening on eco 1.2A the charge stopped. It took about 15 attempts to get a charge going as it would charge at...

    My 12 month review of 2022 MG5 LR exclusive (pre facelift)

    Nice annual summary- would be interested in your " seasonal" miles/kW.

    🥶HOW LOW CAN WE GO🥶

    As I was surmising Gomev, ie 60(kW approx battery) X 3.1 m/ = 180 miles
  15. R

    General FL 5 (and other models?) range.

    In colder weather you may get less than 3m/ kW iat 50/55 cruising, less if you want to keep warm.So 2 charges might not be enough.
