    My first year of MG5 LR Pre FL ownership

When I start up the toolbox it says I need to update my head unit and downloads the files to my USB which iI do . When I plug it in the car...

    Hello Everybody

    Hi Everybody , I have finally taken a dip into the EV pool . I purchased a used MG5 on Tuesday , it was one day under a year old with 7500 miles on it . Initially I had a look at the MG4 and was impressed even if I had doubted it to be a true family car . But , frankly , it was too rich for my...
