    Zappi issues

    All the Zappi does is offer a charge to the car, it does not know if the car is full of not. The car has to accept the charge for it to charge.

    Internal thermostat not working

    The heater isnt very good, I personally dont use auto and set to 24 ish to get it warm, then down to 20-22 once warm.

    Roof bars

    I used some Thule bars that I have used on 2 previous cars, they continue to give good service despite being nearly 10 years old.

    Buying a three year old MG5.....

    My 3 year old PFL just flew through its first MOT (unlike my father in laws 3 year old ICE car). These cars are built to last, just use common sense.

    Buying a three year old MG5.....

    Get a late LR pre-facelift, it has many of the improvements of the FL but proper buttons for things like heaters, heated seat. It has AEB but seem to remember it only works under 35 mph.

    Recent Valuation 30% of what I paid less than 2 years years ago...!

    I think I'm just going to keep using mine until it goes pop, should be good for at least another 8 more years at my current use. Probably a lot more.

    ZS EV ( Gen 1 ) - HV traction battery replaced.

    Further to this they used the good cells from the battery they replaced for a home battery storage. Good to see this level of recyclability.

    Zappi issues

    No, that just how IO works with the Zappi app. IO basically sets a manual charge for you. Not has this issue, the Zappi only offers the charge so its up to the car to accept it or not. As others have mentioned, don't leave the car plugged in too long before the charge session. I have had this...

    Roof bars and towbars - experience please

    I have used the roof rack on my MG5 a few times and the good news in the roof rack was originally bought and used on a Peugeot 307SW, its the same fit. Just make sure you go for one of the later cars (PFL LR or later) as the roof bars on the early cars weren't certified for use.

    Charging speeds

    Don't fast charge often, but when I do I normally see 50 kW ± 5, fastest I have seen is 84kW (summer) but didn't monitor so have no idea how long it charged at that speed!

    A couple more newbie questions

    The speed sign recognition is poor and I do not think it integrates with the SATNAV. The servicing is all done online so you will need to get an account through MG to see it.

    MG5 Steering - a concern or not?

    I have not experienced it on mine since the front tyres were replaced.

    2m charge cable - Recommendations?

    I have experienced multiple times were chargers are in odd places so personally wouldn't contemplate anything less than a 5m. We have one of these and it has been trouble free. https://www.evcables4u.com/type-2-male-to-female-1632a-charging-cable

    Gridserve Birmingham Airport

    I have not had much joy with Gridserves. I think the older ones are worse.
