    Tesla Supercharger Issue MG5 LR

    This is exactly the same question I can't get an answer for. Does anyone know if the MG5 SR pre-facelift can be updated to charge at Tesla?

    Ohme home pro charger & Pre FL MG5

    Actually in mixed minds about this....I don't think I have seen it in the manual, and give that my car (SR) has a 52.5 kWh battery with only 48 useable that ensures it doesn't reach totally full anyhow. I haven't really followed that fully and my battery according to OBD scanner is still at 100%...

    No this is on service number 5...it is not the second service.

    Ohme home pro charger & Pre FL MG5

    If you have the Ohme charger and are on Intelligent Octopus use the charger to schedule and not the car or the app. I assume you mean Intelligent Octopus. That works a treat, make sure you tell the charger what percentage you need to go into battery before you ply in using the Ohme app. Switch...

    Are electricians ripping us off?

    Probably should add that by moving to IO after I got the OHME installed saved me about £80 per month so it will pay for itself within a year.

    MG Gillanders in Aberdeen and Peterhead leaving MG group end of August…

    I hope Peter Vardy group match the service and know how....but I suspect maybe not. Time will tell.

    Battery Cooling system

    I think MG is built to a budget, lol Now had Brighton MG confirm that the systems share same cooling system, in the case of battery and the cabin. The compressor circuit has an evaporator for air for the cabin and a chiller plate for the glycol battery coolant. The transmission coolant is air...

    Battery Cooling system

    My view is that the cabin heating is pretty basic and separate. a heated filament after or before the fan, because it clears the windscreen so quickly in winter and also the smell you get as it burns off when used for the first time in a while, just like that on an old electric filament home...

    Battery Cooling system

    I've contacted James Coates at Cleevely Electric Vehicles | Electrical Vehicles | Gloucestershire who confirms it is linked for cabin and batteries but not for transmission. It sort of explains why the EV aircon in the cabin struggles sometimes on hot days and high speed journeys as the...

    Are electricians ripping us off?

    I've just had an OHME home pro installed for £985 and that included fitting me 2 external water proof 13A sockets for my gardening stuff in summer and lights at Xmas, which I thought was not a bad deal.

    Battery Cooling system

    Found this from Siemens... Coolant is different to refrigerant....the coolant is the liquid that flows whilst the refrigerant is the gas in the compressor...so I'm not clear. In my previous car Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV it was a big deal if the compressor wasn't working due to lack of...

    Battery Cooling system

    Having a bit of a debate in another place about whether the same cooling system and hence refrigerant is shared between the battery, motors and passenger cabin? It was in my previous vehicle. Anyone know?

    Smell of burning and warm type 2 plug handle

    Couple of things, firstly if the car heating kicks in when you start the car and the heating hasn't been used for a time you will get the smell that is reminiscent of using an electric heater that's been stood a while. This is because the heating is just that an element that heats up and so the...

    Unresponsive car

    Use auto hold, or keep your foot on the footbrake. If you use the footbrake method, the car has a hillstart feature so as long as you press the accelerator quickly it will not roll back.

    Recovered to dealer - System fault.

    I would suggest this is a notifiable report to the DVLA, can't imagine what could happen at speed!! Vehicle recalls and faults

    Adaptive Cruise Control and regenerative braking question

    Unfortunately on the MGZS it uses mechanical breaking on ACC....weirdly on the MG5 and MG4 it uses regen, just not on the ZS.

    Nav Sat Update from Naviextras.com is not working

    Makes a lot of sense the memory issue, because that explains why some people are getting the infotainment system crashing in normal use.

    Brake squeal when reversing?

    It just stopped doing it on mine...no idea why! Been fine for the last few months.

    Plug in grant value changed along with eligibility criteria

    Some more in the area, I'm in Grantham with an MG5 SR since Feb. Love it! Got mine from Mile's lot at Chorley at a bargain price that is now the same on WBAC!!!
