Was away from home last week had a few issues when charging, and now I'm not sure if it's the car or the chargers at fault 1) BP Pulse AC charger, failed to charge and caused system fault which required me to pull the 12V battery to reset - Although sounded like the locking pin was...

Very nearly drove off with the Charge Flap open yesterday, it was only because a neighbour said something as I was pulling out that I noticed. Kind of surprised the car didn't warn that this was the case, is there no sensor on the locking mechanism? This is the pre-facelift 5

I have an OVMS module that I occasionally use to check the SOC remotely. (I also used it on a long journey to feed ABRP with live SOC info) Wondering if it's advisable to remove it before taking the car into the dealer for servicing. Given polling with the car locked tends to set off the...

Has anyone else seen weirdness with charging speeds on CCS, Went away at the weekend and used Ionity Leeds, was only getting 41KW at around 30% SOC Used the exact same charger on the return journey and got 71KW+ although I started around 12% SOC, also the site was full whereas the first time...

Noticed this when running "Magic Earth" on an Android AI box (Emulates CarPlay) on the Preface lift MG5. Magic earth switches the audio mode to Call/Voice just before announcing a direction and if you are indicating there is a blip/lag on both the animation for the indicator symbol on the...

Probably a silly question but is the 5 ok in an automated car wash given it has those roof bars (and I guess possibly the charge door could become unlatched by the brushes pressing against it?)

Decided to try one of these carplay "AI" (There's nothing AI about them they just run android) dongles on my MG5 (PFL) to see if it's an upgrade from my Carlinkit mini v3 which occasionally decides it doesn't wish to talk to the car and also won't firmware update anymore (I wonder if it's a...

On mobile atm so sorry if this has been posted. Was struggling to get CarPlay to behave and when swapping cables between my CarPlay dongle and my wired iPhone cable I managed to drop a usb cable end right in the 12v socket. Heard a click which I assume was the fuse popping. Am I right in...

I know some other people have had this on various recent MG's with OBD2 scanning dongles. It appears (any?) attempt to poll the CAN bus when the veichle is locked sets of the alarm, has anyone been able to pull any data from any MG other than the MK1 ZS when locked without this happening, if so...

Assuming the data is accurate should I be worrying about those cells, the conspiracy theorist in me wonders if mgs fix for the check hv battery issues was to loosen up the tolerances Soc is about 72% was charged about a week or so ago and allowed to do a balance Seems a bit better after a drive

I now have a chip/indentation in the edge of my back bumper of my MG5 (PFL) caused by a somewhat over eager dog trying to get into the boot before I'd opened it. (The dogs fine incase you were wondering). Wondering if it's worth even trying to do anything about it or to just leave it as I knew...

Sure there was a thread about this before but can't seem to find it now I might grab the hardware as it looks like the work being done for the MK2 ZS will also lead to it being able to talk to the MG5...

Any recommendations for a dash-cam, I declined the dealer option when I bought my MG5 as they wanted a lot of money for fitting a fairly basic (1080p only) nextbase one. I had been using a cheapo Supercap based one just placed in the windscreen for many years but I managed to break the usb...

Is it me or is this terrible for charger availability in terms of almost everything except for wetherby only being 1 or 2 50kw chargers? There's some possible 120KW instavolt sites nearby, but these often only have 2 chargers as well. Wheres all the hubs for this side of the country?

Does anyone else often hear what sounds like a relay switching somewhere in or near the drivers door when either stopped or at low speed? MG5 Exclusive LR.

Charging yesterday in a car-park, Came back to the car after some-time (Probably 1-2hrs) and grabbed something from the car at that point everything was ok. Came back again later to find the lights off on that side of the podpoint post and the car had stopped charging. The app still thinks the...

Probably just me being useless but is there anyway to stop the radio coming on when you turn the car on. Mine seems to like to start-up in either FM or DAB mode, and often quite loud if i've been listening to music via carplay previously. Also I notice it doesn't respond to the steering wheel...

MG5 LR Exclusive pre facelift. The few times I've managed to drive it so far the weathers been rather wet and horrible so I've manually switched the dipped beams on. When I turn the car off I get a reminder that I've left the lights on, what I was wondering is does it automatically turn them...
