    Would not stay in D or R

    Oh that might be it, because I got out and looked to see of there was poor traction, slimy ground etc (it was a car park in a field). Is it normal that it won't go if a door is open?

    Would not stay in D or R

    Today, I encountered a curious fault where I pressed the brake and selected R, in the normal way, but then upon letting go of the brake it automatically sent back to P. I tried several times and it would not stay in R. I also tried D but it would not stay in that either. I switched the car off...

    Rear Seat Removal

    To lift the rear seat base on a new MG5 will require you to pull VERY HARD upwards (in two places) before it unclicks. Be warned though - both ends of the base have a flimsy wire with an electrical connector along it. If you are pulling really hard upwards and it releases, it is all too easy to...

    Your MG5 is supposed to work this way. The radio (or USB player etc) switches off when you lock the car

    New MG5 EV owner - A few simple questions

    Fat lot of use that is, since the app and the car absolutely will not bind and the dealer doesn't give a shit.

    Connecting MG5 to your home wifi

    I just noticed that MG4 cars seem to have this feature. It must have a purpose. Car software updates maybe? Or will it make my iSmart phone app bind with my MG5 when it previously would not? There must be some purpose. And if this has a purpose for the MG4, why wouldn't it have the same purpose...

    Connecting MG5 to your home wifi

    I saw a posting in the MG4 threads about getting your infotainment system to connect to your home wifi (at least when it's near enough to your house). https://www.mgevs.com/threads/network-not-available.10786/post-183668 I looked in the Settings menu on my MG5 LR (facelift) and could not find...

    Back Seat Fold Muppetry

    OK I will try again Turns out that this was all there was to it. I had to pull REALLY HARD and then click... it let go. And then the other side EVEN HARDER. Maybe if I do this a few times it will get easier. The warning about the electric wiring is important though, both sides of the squab...

    Back Seat Fold Muppetry

    I have tried pulling up on my rear seat squab (facelift MG5) but it won't "let go". Is there a technique or trick to this? Does the seat squab release at all on the facelift MG5?
