    Help! Wipers died in the rain...

    Help! Facelift trophy model, 1 year 3 months old, front wipers stopped working entirely. Of course it's raining horribly. Turned off and on again and no change, left it off for half an hour to shut down entirely and no change. Anything I can do other than wait for the morning and call the...

    MG5 EV (Facelift) Module Software Versions

    Looking for people with CarScanner and an OBD reader to share their software versions. Using this data perhaps we'll be able to work out exactly what different versions are out there and have some useful information to arm ourselves with when we need to talk to MG. To gather the data, connect...

    TPMS sensor replacement cost

    How much should it cost to replace a damaged TPMS sensor on an MG5EV? My local dealership are quoting £150 for an hour's labour, plus the cost of the sensor itself. Does that seem correct? The valve itself is damaged, not the actual sensor, so it's currently holding air but cannot be filled...

    Facelift Trophy Charger Software Version (Tesla Superchargers)

    I had my first service on my 1 year old Facelift MG5 Trophy, and as part of it the charger software was updated specifically so as to enable charging at Tesla superchargers. Unfortunately there is no difference -- it still fails to charge. I checked via CarScanner and OBD2 and the version of...

    Wheel bolt cap removal?

    Does anyone know how to remove the covers for the wheel bolts of a facelift trophy on 17” alloys? I thought these were the bolts themselves but they actually aren’t! Anyone know what size the bolts are?

    Facelift OTA Update and software version

    What software version are you Facelift owners on? The earlier model has to go back to the dealer for updates, but the Trophy and the upcoming SE have Over The Air updates. Has a anyone actually had an update? I’ve hit the “check” button a couple of times but am always told I’m on the latest...

    MG5 Trophy spacesaver

    Has anyone looked at fitting a spare wheel (probably a space saver) to the MG5 Trophy (facelift)? It looks like there would be space under the boot floor if the polystyrene were removed from the well. I‘d be far more comfortable with a spare in the car…

    New Car Day!

    Today was new car day! Our MG5 Trophy was delayed getting to the dealer — but they gave us their demonstrator to make sure we had a car over the holiday, and we had it for nearly four weeks. The only difference between the demonstrator and ours is the colour (theirs was a yucky black with...

    MG5 Trophy Real World Consumption Thread

    Yes yes, we all know that your pre-facelift MG5s are capable of doing nine hundred miles after a thirty minute fast charge, etc. However, for those of us with the new Facelift MG5 Trophy, the numbers appear to be somewhat different! So, please ONLY contribute to this thread if you have an MG5...

    Facelift navigation traffic?

    Does the facelift navigation system show live traffic? I can’t seem to make it display traffic on the screen like Google maps does. I would prefer to use the built in system instead of CarPlay if it does traffic…

    MG5 Trophy At Last! (Sort of…)

    The bad news: our MG5 Trophy which was supposed to be with us two weeks ago is still not here and won’t be here in time for Christmas 😞 The good news: our dealer, who seems almost as fed up as we are of waiting, gave us their demonstrator car to use until ours is with them, so that we have a...

    V2L Cables

    Does anyone know if the facelift comes with a V2L cable? Or if not, has anyone tried this one: https://evcables.co.uk/products/mg-vehicle-to-load-v2l-discharge-cable?variant=42567225671930 The V2L capability is part of my backup strategy to keep the heating on if we end up with power cuts (to...

    Charging cable choices…

    I have a new facelift MG5 hopefully arriving next weekend, and we are considering what cables to buy. At home I have an untethered type 2 charger which runs at 32A single phase (7.2kW). However for out and about I understand that the MG5 can use 11kW three phase, which is 16A per phase. I see...
