Hello all, just a quick line to say that after running it for 13 months I’ve sold my #teamred MG5. It’s been far better than I expected and sadly I couldn’t keep it as I’m starting up a driver training business and currently the demand seems to be manual, so reluctantly getting a new Focus, not...

Cant believe I’ve done it again! I drove 70 miles to work and reversed into a space, unloaded the car, locked it and walked away. On return after work the flap was open. Not for the first time this has happened. Thankfully fully no damage caused, but it’s also the socket cover hanging too. I’ve...

Anyone else’s rear Heated window not clearing? Mine is leaving about 5 lines at the bottom misted, clearly the elements are not working? I haven’t looked as I keep forgetting 🤔

Just got on my car and the clock has gone back already, a week early 🤔🤣🤣

I’ve had my red 5 for nearly 10 months. We are going to be talking about the new MG 5 facelift. After a discussion with a friend he was surprised I had a 5 as I’ve always been fussy about how a car looks. As admittedly I don’t think it’s a “looker” We would like to know why you have yours...

Booking at Richmond Group, Southampton very good. I didn’t need a loan car so they found a convenient day and time. Booked in when I dropped the car off by filling out a form with contact and vehicle details. I was contacted by text and a missed voicemail to tell me car has been services and is...

So far started with 100% 330 mile journey 100 miles in, stopped at Cherwell Valley, Electric Highway, had breakfast and charged to 97% upon return, Leaf driver was waiting to charge so promptly left. The charge cost £10.50 Next scheduled charge was Trowell services, 2 x Ecotricity chargers...

With the start of the football season I have decided to go and see my team, Southampton, next Saturday. The opposition are Newcastle United. This will be by far my longest EV journey requiring some planning….🤔 google maps tells me it’s a 666 mile round trip. Praying for 20° and no rain.

Listened to this at the weekend, well worth a listen.

Yesterday I was on a 190 mile round trip, so I decided to top up for 10 mins in the morning at 55% to ensure a comfortable 70mph trip home. I plugged in, popped to the shop to get a breakfast roll, ate it and decided to stop the charge. First Touch screen button “stop charging” no problem, the...

As I’m enjoying the huge savings on a day to day basis now and again I work out a virtual m.p.g. for my #teamred 5. Yesterday a return trip to Oxfordshire consisting of regular 70mph when I can, driving in Eco there and Normal coming home. I reckon 70mph limit accounts for 140 of the 170 miles...

Something quite satisfying getting home when you are 85 miles from home and you have a constant 15 mile difference between the GOM range and distance left on the sat nav and you get home with 6% left 🙈🤔 driving at a steady pace too.

After recently changing tariff and updating via the ev.energy app my car fully charged during the week. However on Friday morning I had a 50 mile journey to work, started the car and was showing 47% battery, for the same round trip on Tuesday I used 52%. I didn’t think it would be an issue as it...

When I changed from a Merc E class estate to the MG5 my insurance for the Merc was around £700 per year, after getting into the MG my insurance remained pretty much the same, I then paid a bit more because I had tints fitted and an admin fee for private plates to be added. The insurer was esure...

This morning I gave my car a 5000 mile wash. Really disappointed that when I lifted one of the front wipers it scraped the top edge of the bonnet 🙄 there is now bare metal 😡 also I’ve noticed how thin the metal panels are, I certainly won’t be leaning on the body work incase it dents it. So far...

Is anyone else having issues? I regularly do a +70mile trip to a work place therefore over 140 miles in a day. My issue is, I can never leave the car plugged in and trust the car & box to charge to 100% by the morning. I contacted ev.energy and basically the situation is that as I am on a...

May be an odd question, but has anyone noticed a new noise lately coming from the dash. It’s an electronic noise, not a mechanical one. I initially thought it was when apple car play was activated but it doesn’t appear to be. I will continue to put the noise and situation together to try and...

Over 3k miles in and today a trip of 33 miles done on 17% battery @ 3.5 M/kWh. The trip is a work one. Driving mode N Air con on Up to 70 mph on dual carriageway and M/way in addition to 50mph limit road works. Happy with that.

I’ve had mine since 29 Dec, covered 2000 + miles and haven’t seen any other MG5’s on the road, has anyone else? It’s the first car I’ve bought where you don’t see them everywhere, apart from our Triumph Herald a few years ago. Tempted to do an old MG nod/wave when I do 🤔🤪 maybe a high “5” out...
