    Alternating wheels to even out tyre wear

    Is it possible and is it expensive to have the readout corrected to the new positions?

    Playing music from USB sticks

    I have iTunes on my PC and simply drag a playlist across to a USB Flash Drive showing in a second window. They then play by track number, so all the Track 1's and then Track 2's etc. So it's a form of Shuffle.... or you can select Shuffle itself. I have found the best sound is to select Pop and...

    Choosing a home charger!

    Nobody else has mentioned Hypervolt, so I will! I've had one since Dec 2021 (Hypervolt 2.0) and never had a problem with it. I needed a long cable and, at the time, it was the only one offering a 10m tethered cable. It works really well with my solar and has an excellent phone app. Hypervolt...

    Pre-facelift headlamp deflectors for France

    Thank for proving my point! The first result is this thread and the rest are irrelevant to my question.

    Pre-facelift headlamp deflectors for France

    I did several searches and scrolled through 30+ threads before posting and the thread that you refer to didn't appear. After posting I did a Google search and this thread appeared. Clearly, Google rules!

    Pre-facelift headlamp deflectors for France

    I'm taking my pre-facelift MG5 to France next month and I know that I can crank the headlamps as low as possible to avoid dazzle but, that's not legal in France and I will be fully loaded with 4 adults, a toddler and our luggage...... 1. Am I correct in thinking that there are no specific...

    MG5 Washer Jets Freezing

    Thanks @Dino and others here. I keep my car pretty clean, so it took a while to discover that the rear wash wasn't working and about a month to remember to research accessing the rear hose connection :rolleyes: So today was the day and I tugged and tugged to no avail. So I swallowed hard and...

    There's no way to charge a 2021 MG5 to 80%?

    Talk about creating a problem that isn't there! Please don't raise a ticket with Hypervolt, they're far too polite to tell you what to do with it! In the time that it took you to create a spreadsheet you could have adjusted the length of charge on your Hypervolt many, many times over. I like...

    Looking to buy a used 2022 (pre-facelift) MG5 LR

    If you can charge at home and restrict your public charging to relatively reliable tethered charge points (e.g. Instavolt, Osprey, Fastned, some Gridserve, Charge Scotland etc.,) you almost don't need a Type 2 cable and, unless it's included, I would consider spending the money on an MG spare...

    tinted windows

    Depends where you are in Kent, but Ashford Window Tints did mine. Their premises don't look that impressive from outside, but they were recommended to me and are excellent and chat through before and after with lots of advice on aftercare. Better than the big franchises I believe. I had maximum...

    Hypervolt charging an MG5LR

    Certainly the Hypervolt doesn't calculate cost at the moment, it is just using a pre-fixed rate. But they are currently trying out a Beta version that does allow the input of the correct rate. As for the graph? It's either the normal fall off as it reaches 100% or, maybe, it's balancing over a...

    Hypervolt charging an MG5LR

    Thanks, I'll try that next time I go to 100%. I've only done one partial Rapid charge (Instavolt), just to see what it's like............easy with Instavolt at least! So, yes, all my charging so far is at home and normally to around 80%. The first 100% charge was to see how it went and the...

    Hypervolt charging an MG5LR

    Aha! Thanks for that. Looking at your post, it certainly looks like it's doing some balancing. Maybe the rest in between did it good ;) I will give this a go next time but, as I said, mine may be a bit too new to need a balance so far. But thanks again!

    Hypervolt charging an MG5LR

    "How do you know the charging has stopped? The car (rather deceptively) says "100% finished" while balancing and "Connected, uncharged" when it is in fact full charged." Because there's no activity showing on the Hypervolt app.

    Hypervolt charging an MG5LR

    Does anyone have a Hypervolt Home Charger for their MG5LR? If so, have you tried a Balancing Charge yet? It's a bit too early for mine as I've only done 700 miles but, on the two occasions that I have done a 100% charge, the Hypervolt has stopped correctly at 100% but then showed no sign of...

    Windscreen Washer fluid for MG5

    OSRAM NIGHT BREAKER BULB UPGRADE

    I found the nearside bulb a bit of a #ugger to twist and lock and have the cut finger (on fusebox) to prove it :rolleyes:

    Ceramic film for front windscreen

    I don't think that I'm being offered a spray on treatment, it's a film, just like a normal window tint?

    Ceramic film for front windscreen

    I'm planning to have the windows tinted on my MG5 and have been offered Ceramic Film for the front windscreen. It has no tint but is supposed to offer up 80% UV reduction. Does anyone have any experience or knowledge of this treatment? Does it affect such things as the Auto Wipers...
