My MG5 key fob button was pressed by another set of keys in my pocket and the plastic button broke off. I could not see a long term way of gluing it back on and so I searched eBay and Amazon for replacements as well as considering a new key from MG Guildford. I found this rubberised skin which...

I have just bought and installed the new v4.0 version of the Carlinkit Apple CarPlay and Android Auto wireless adaptor to my MG5 (Jan 2021 stand range exclusive). All successful and working well via my iPhone 12. Don’t have an Android phone so don’t know how that works but it is the new key...

I had my first service done last Tuesday at Richmond Guildford on my MG 5 Exclusive. All went well and happy with the service, all for £88 Inc VAT for a low mileage service. It included 2 software updates, 1 for the kers 3 break light recall. The MG front mudflats fitted by the dealer only...

Hi there, I have recently purchased a Weather cover to protect my charging port from rain and snow, see attached photo. This works great and is magnetic so sticks to the bonnet. Found on Amazon. I have not found an equivalent to fit over my BP Pulse/Chargemaster home charger, using a pull...

I applied and paid for a BP Pulse (Chargmaster) home charger to be installed on 1st Feb 2021. The device was finally installed on 26th April. Had to have meter box inspected by SSE engineer and he replaced 60a main fuse with 100a. Second electrical engineer visited to install 100a breaker in the...

I had my ev home charger installed a week ago. Just wondering how long it takes the government to pay the EVHS grant ? Do they send a cheque ? Thanks Tom

I washed my MG5 for the first time today and found that the passenger side wiper scraps the rear edge of the bonnet when lifting it up to wash the windscreen. The pivot end of the arm is too wide. I guess this is a right hand drive conversion design issue. Any one else found this ?

I have raised the boot cover/carpet on my MG5 by 10cm using 2*5cm thick closed call foam blocks, 2m * 1.2m in size This is the closed call foam I bought. I cut it to 100cm wide and 85cm deep ( front to back) and cut out the center to make a storage area and cut off two diagonal pieces at the...

Hi all, I picked up my new MG5 at the end of January and on the drive home I noticed a loud metallic grinding noise when the air conditioning is on. I got the car booked into the dealer on Thursday 18th Feb to be diagnosed. Turns out the A/C compressor (pump) was failing and has to be...

I have had my MG5 for 3 weeks and have identified 2 enhancements that would be useful: 1) Frunk/Froot under the bonnet. If the plastic ‘engine’ cover is removed there is plenty of room for the charging cable to be stored above the motor components. The plastic frame that supports the central...

I have a charge amperage of -50 amp on the cars display and 4.3kwh on the charge ‘pump’ display. Is this the normal for CCS rapid charger ?

I picked up my new MG5 last weekend 30th Jan and I am really enjoying the car. I have noticed a loud humming noise from the ’engine’ bay, which you can also hear from inside the cabin. I can only hear it when stationary, say on the drive way. When I press the Heating control On/Off button on...

I have been learning about the Pedestrian Alert noise on EV’s. I cannot find anything about it in the MG5 user manual, however first time I thought it was fault noise from the heating/ventilation system so pressed the ventilation on off button on the left of the ventilation controls and the...
