So my infotainment seems to have bitten the dust. Comes up with the MG symbol, freezes, then goes to a black screen. Keeps cyclying through thie process as if it is trying to boot up but keeps failing. I've tried holding in the volume button, disconnecting the 12 volt battery, and leaving the...

Fortunately I don't need to charge away from home that often. My longest journey is a 200 mile round trip 3 or four times a year. With prices going up it makes me wish I'd bought a car with a bit more range rather than the MG5 SR, I could then do the journey on a single charge and avoid rapid...

E-mail was sent the same day that the prices went up. They also advised that apps and the chargers themselves may still display the old price but you will be charged at the new rate with immediate effect. They're blaming it on the end of the governments EBRS subsidy but a 68% increase seems...

Anyone ekse had an e-mail from Geniepoint advising that their prices are going up? With effect from 14th April they are charging 98p per kwh from 0.800 to 19.59 and 88p per kwh from 20,00 to 07.59. If other providers follow suit charging away from home will become a luxury.

AA man disconnected the battery for 10 minutes then took the car for a drive which cleared faults. Offered to take it to the local MG dealer but they advised they would not be able to look at the car for 3-4 weeks. Also under the MG assist they only provide a courtesy car for 2 days. Decided to...

I think I’ve ruled out the MG4 as we need the boot space. The MG5 can just about cope when we go away so think we might struggle with the MG4.

So on the top of my charging issues I am now getting multiple errors regarding EPS, hill hold etc. I can see other owners have had similar issues. I’ve tried the 10mm spanner option but hasn’t worked so I’m now waiting on MG assist. Called them and was advised that my dealer Drive Bristol...

I'd have no problem with the size although my wife may struggle. I'm at the age where a can take a tax free lump sum out of some old pensions to cover the cost of either vehicle. Ok it means handing back the MG5 2 years early. 4 months ago I could have sold the MG5, paid off the finance and...

The added range and access to the supercharger network are the plus points, although even the MG4 Trophy would be a big improvement on the MG5 SR. We usually take a trip to France once or twice a year and having something with more range would be a bonus. A Tesla Model 3 long range would knock...

I've been saying since the MG4 came out that it would be my next EV but with second hand prices dropping I'm now considering a Tesla Model 3. Low mileage 2-3 year old models are about the same price as the MG4 Trophy and have a quoted range of 340 miles. OK you won't have the benefit of a 7...

So for around the same price as MG4 Trophy I could but a reasonably low mileage long range Tesla Model 3. The advantage of the Tesla would be the longer range and the access to the Tesla suoercharger network, which is currently one of the cheaper charging options away from home. Anyone have...

Any idea how they found this out or resolved the situation? I've tried searching but couldn't find anything.

These are the current settings. Ohme have confirmed that the CT clamp does not need to be fitted.

The charge starts as planned and then will stop after only adding 2-3 kWh regardless of the state of charge of the battery. Doesn’t happen every time but I’d becoming a regular occurrence. Not good when you are expecting to add 40kwh overnight and get up to find you’ve only added 3.

That’s good to know. Still not sure why charges randomly fail though. Ohme has been changed out so next step is to get the car checked by MG, although it seems to charge at public type 2 charge points so can’t see the car being the issue.

I’ve been having issues with failed charges with my Ohme Home Pro. I’ve taken a look at the charge port on the MG and I’m wondering if this looks correct as the top right pin seems a lot further back than the rest. What does everyone else’s look like?

I have the MG5 Excite SR and have been happily charging with and Ohme for nearly 2 years. In the last week I have had issues when trying to charge overnight. I plug in the charger as usual and the car starts charging at 12.30am as expected but will then stop charging for no apparent reason...

The P30 was the last Huawei phone released before the US legislation was introduced so had AA, Google Maps etc integrated into the phone. My P30 Pro was always very temperamental and would very rarely connect to the MG5.

Tried various android phones. Samsung S7 and A52 worked faultlessly but Huawei P30 Pro rarely if ever connected even after trying half a dozen different so called quality cables (cables that worked with other phones mentioned). Ended up switching to an Apple Iphone 13. Connects every time...

Having said that you would expect any decent dealer to be on the phone to members with back orders to have an honest chat about their options.
