    Time for a change after 14 months.

    After just 14 months of owning our first EV, the FL5 is being part exchanged on Saturday :(. We started the EV journey on mainly local journeys of 25 mile round trips twice a week plus local commuting to and from work (5 miles). However, we've found ourselves travelling more frequently to North...

    SWARCO RFID card?

    A lot of my journeys now take me to North Wales, especially Anglesey. From previous charges, SWARCO are by far the most reliable, fast (45kw+) and cost effective. To date, I've always used either contactless or the SWARCO app to start and pay for the charge. But what would happen if I couldn't...

    HS Plug in - mpg & performance with battery depleted?

    Currently running a FL5 EV but looking for a second family car, maybe the HS plug-in. Performance figures seem really good with 254 bhp and 184 lbs/ft but I guess this is with a fully charged battery. For anyone running an HS plug-in, do you notice a drop off in performance when the battery is...

    FL5 - latest software version of built in nav?

    Whilst looking for something else in the "download manuals" on the MG UK website (the section where you put your VIN no. in), I came across an update for the nav. Current version in the car is 2022Q1, the update is 2023Q1. For anyone who's done the update, was it worth it and did you notice any...

    FL5 - playing music from USB stick (or not?).

    When our FL5 first arrived in Jan 2023, I thought it would be just a case of popping in the USB stick and away we go as per all previous non MG cars. How wrong was I and soon realised that the 50+ albums were in the wrong format for the 5 so tried to re-format them using 3rd party software but...

    5 Trophy - % power?

    Decided today to see how the FL 5 would accelertate uncder full power (pedal to the floor job). Joined a motorway on an uphill slip of about 3/4 miles. In Eco mode, KERS 1, % power meter went up very quickly and then peaked out at 80%, no more % forthcoming. Thinking this might be an ECO...

    General FL 5 (and other models?) range.

    In the near future due too work, I'll have to start using the public charging network. Up to now, home charging has served me well and the ability to go to 100% with no time constraints. Now here's where my "range" question gets interesting, bear with me please. The FL 5 has a theoretical range...

    First public charging - nervous?

    In June, I'll need to make a return journey of 350 miles (without the wife as a passenger) but have never needed to use public chargers on shorter sub 200 mile trips. TBH, I'm bricking it. I know I shouldn't worry but having never done it before, it's the unknown that gets me. Zap Map has...

    Maximum speed in reverse

    Just for fun..... Does the Leaf still hold the record and what's the fastest you've been in reverse? Nissan Leaf Sets Reverse Speed Record at Goodwood [video] I tried it the other day on along driveway at work and got up to 15mph and bottled out lol. The acceleration in reverse was just as...

    Granny charger extension lead

    About four times a year, we visit the wife's mother in rural west Wales and public chargers are sadly lacking. We have time to use the granny charger at MIL's but will need an extension lead to reach the car. Thinking of this extension lead, any thoughts...

    FL Infotainment

    Am I right in thinking that the infotainment system in the FL is the same as what's in the MG4 Trophy? It certainly looks the same. Reason for asking is that on the MG website tech specs for the 4, they mention "Live services (additional services include Weather, Live Traffic, Amazon Music)"...

    12v battery - options?

    Not that I'm looking to change my 12v battery for a while but reading many posts on here, made me think a bit. Coming from the marine and leisure (motorhomes and caravans) industries, we use "starter" batteries and leisure/domestic batteries. Both have different characteristics in how they...

    FL 5 - boot tie down points (or lack of).

    One of those few things you never notice when buying a new car until you need them....... Had some big, bulky items in the boot last night that needed securing to stop them moving. Easier said than done with not a single tie down point. An oversight or cost based? Thanks MG but the rest of the...

    Changing brake light bulb - how?

    Our 3 week old Trophy has blown an offside brake light bulb so I need to replace it. Simples really, eh? Here lies the problem - how to access the bulb holder and light cluster. The manual tells you what bulb (have got one) but that's it. Can't see any easy access, like flaps to pull away. Do I...

    Engine power v driving modes.

    So my Trophy (and any other MG with the same motor) has 154bhp and 206 lb/ft torque. Are these figures the same regardless of what driving mode you're in - Eco, Comfort or Sport? The only difference I've noticed on the road between the three modes is the sharpness and responsiveness of the loud...

    Making hands free phone calls

    5 Trophy - can you make bluetooth hands free phone calls via the "phone" button on the steering wheel? The owners manual is next to useless in explaining this and many other things lol.

    5 Trophy - locking/unlocking itself !!

    Neighbour's son just turned up in his Kia E-Niro some 20m away from our locked car. Just happened to look out of the lounge window and as he locks his Kia, ours unlocks itself! Ours stays unlocked but then relocks as that's what it should do if no doors are opened. Gave it five minutes and...

    Ohme Home Pro v ISmart charging confusion

    Have only done one home charge with our 5 Trophy and seems we may have got a bit confused initially but somehow managed to get from 30% to 80%, so a result at least. On reflection, we think we started the charge via the Ohme screen on the charger (EVSE) but didn't think anything was happening...
