    MG5 Facelift - how to do equalisation charging

    Many thanks - I think that's what I needed to know - I'll do that about every month and all should be good.

    MG5 Facelift - how to do equalisation charging

    Thanks for the replies. I looked at the MG app and my charger app at about 07:30 (i.e. about 4 hours after it would have reached 100%) and both said charging had stopped. So I suppose it could have completed eq charging by then - but other than staying up and watching what it did at around...

    MG5 Facelift - how to do equalisation charging

    I've had my Mk2 MG5 for a month now. I have Go Tariff so have set it up so that every night it starts charging at 00:30 and set the max charge level to 80%. That's been working fine. (Charger is set to always on - the scheduling etc is set up on the car itself.) Last night I wanted to do...

    How to stop Spotify auto-playing when entering Android Auto?

    I have a Mk1 MG5. I normally listen to DAB radio, but when I connect my phone via Android Auto (to use google maps), Spotify automatically starts playing whatever it was doing when Spotify was last used. So to get back to DAB I have to go back to home screen and select DAB manually. Does...

    Car Mats for MG5 facelift

    Can anyone please clarify whether the fittings for floor mats are same for facelifted MG5 Trophy as they were for the pre-facelift MG5? Specifically I'm looking at these https://carmats.co.uk/collections/mg-motors-uk-mg5-ev-car-mats It seems several options are on offer - 245mm clip spacing...

    MG iSmart gives wrong car.

    If the app is showing the right car, then the problems others are having would seem more likely to be car related rather than app-related. Maybe you have a later SW version in the car?

    MG5 Facelift Insurance

    Given that the group (31 I think) for the facelift seems to be known, maybe a comparison could be done by putting down some other group 31 car just to get a price? If I get time maybe I'll have a go tomorrow. Incidentally what's the group number for the LR Exclusive?

    MG iSmart gives wrong car.

    So it means there's no way (without charging time calculations) of charging to 80% for example, if that's what someone wants? I presume there's no way to set max charge level from inside the car itself and that it has to be done from the app? I know that whether or not to bother with 80% or...

    MG5 Facelift Insurance

    Thinking about it, think what might have helped me with Direct Line is that I went through the whole quote process online (putting vehicle as LR Exclusive), got a price, and then I phoned them saying I was happy with the quote but explaining that the model name wasn't correct. That's when she...

    MG iSmart gives wrong car.

    As a general question, has anyone at all got a MG5 Mk2 LR Trophy which is recognised correctly by iSmart? (Sounds unlikely if it's an app problem) Secondly, could someone with a car (still waiting for mine) please confirm which iSmart features are available, e.g. remote control of a/c system...

    MG5 Facelift Insurance

    Not sure how you got them to add that Bovyboy, as my agent claimed it was impossible (maybe just too much trouble) - see my last posting. Out of interest, has anyone compared prices for MG5 LR Exclusive and MG5 (Mk2) LR Trophy?

    MG5 Facelift Insurance

    mickw Standard Member Last week I insured a facelifted MG5 LR Trophy with Direct Line. They didn't have the model listed and the reg no. was not found because it hadn't yet been registered. I said (correctly) that it's a facelift of the Mg5 LR Exclusive with changes to the trim and the...

    selling to Motorpoint

    At the other end of the price spectrum, I just sold what was pretty much a basket case of a 2005 Focus (115k miles) to WeBuyAnyCar. Clutch was slipping (so badly we were concerned we might not make it to the selling place), which I put on the condition report. We'd been keeping it running as a...

    MG iSmart gives wrong car.

    Interesting - I was due to pick mine up yesterday, but I got a call the day before saying they were waiting for a software update package to come though from China. They didn't (and still don't) know when it will come. My dealer didn't have any idea what software package it is and why the...

    MG Pilot vs Cruise Control + Lane Assist?

    Maybe I'm missing something but looking at the manual (don't yet have my Mk2 MG5 in the flesh). I can't see what the full MG Pilot offers on top of the functionality you get with adaptive cruise control on and lane keep assist on. Can anyone clarify please?

    Buying a new shape MG5

    I bought a Ford CMAX in 2013. Agreed what I though was a good cash price, with some extras thrown in. When I walked into the dealer to sign up the paperwork he said Ford had just announced a 3 day deal where if I took their finance I got another £2500 off. I said I really wanted to pay cash, and...

    Buying a new shape MG5

    I got £250 off a MK2 MG5 Trophy - not a lot but better than nothing. That was paying by bank transfer so effectively cash (i.e. not a finance deal). It wasn't my nearest dealer - the best they would do is to offer £250 off the price of some body/interior treatment (GardX I think), wheareas the...
