    Service by non-dealer

    Thanks, a good suggestion so I looked up who was near me. Unfortunately the dealer we purchased the car from no longer sells nor services MG cars, which it turns out has left me with very little choice in dealer. There is one dealer that's a marginally longer drive away, but the one I use is...

    Intermittent slow charge from home charger - MG5 SR

    Sorry, forgot to add this info. We use Octopus Go, which isn't an intelligent tariff from my understanding. It just offers us four hours of electricity overnight at a cheaper rate. In addition to this, we never had this problem for the first two and half years using the same car, charger and...

    Temperature from heater fluctuates

    Hi all, This winter my wife and I have both noted that the temperature from the heater in our car is fluctuating from very warm to suddenly cold, and then back to very warm. This is happening when we have not touched the heating controls (temp or fan). My car is a '21 plate MG5 SR In...

    Intermittent slow charge from home charger - MG5 SR

    Hi all, I have a '21 plate MG5 SR. We have owned it from new. Over the past 9 months, when using our home charger, we have experienced several very slow charges (2kW), when it was expected the car would charge at 7kW. This has meant we have had a car that hasn't charged enough for a return...

    Service by non-dealer

    Hi all, My MG5 SR is due a service. It will be three years old in March '24 and it has covered 73k. If I were to take it to a non-dealer for a service, would that invalidate the warranty? I'm looking at non-dealers to see if the service cost would be lower. The last service cost £240 and it...

    Testing the Mg5 standard range to the limit

    Wow, you took it further than I. My lowest is 3% and my wife has gone down to 2%. It was nerve wracking getting that low, I have to admit. I found that reduced motor power was initiated when the battery go to 5%. Interesting to know that the actual 'turtle' mode only initiates at 0% Thanks...

    Gridserve chargers

    Yes, I've had an issue once with a Gridserve charger. It was one of their new style machines (I can't remember exactly which services it was, but in the East Midlands somewhere). The car (1st gen, SR 5) was plugged in when the battery was at about 30% and we left to go and get some food...

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

    This is exactly what I do too (I have the same car as the OP). My wallbox (EO Mini Pro 2) only allows me to set the charge time in 30min segments so I've made it easy on myself and estimage the charge to be around 12%/hr or 6%/30mins with a 7kW charger. So I just set the charge time to give me...

    Home Wall Charger

    We have the EO Mini 2 and I definitely cannot recommend it. The solar charge functionality is useless (get the MyEnergi Zappi device if you need that), it has had reliability problems connecting to the app, we have had overnight charges not occur for no explanation which has caused us stress...

    Granny Charging Advice Please

    We got a cable from here and it is ruddy brilliant (expensive, but worth every penny for peace of mind imo). https://toughleads.co.uk/collections/ev-electric-vehicle-extension-leads/products/ev-extension-lead The outdoor cables you find on Amazon cannot close around the very thick granny...

    Bit of reassurance for the MG5

    I feel the opposite tbh. I've had fun reading this thread, I feel it has been light-hearted and helpful, and @Tweed98 has responded well (imo) to those who have reassured him. It is a big change for many coming from ice cars to electric, and it makes sense to me to have concerns about the MG...

    205/60/r16 to 205/55/r16

    Our original tyres were approaching their limit recently and we had done 33k with them by then (fronts, the rears are still fine). The car originally had Bridgestones fitted on the front, but replaced with Continental all season tyres.

    Changing the MG5 display back to celsius

    My recommendation is to not bother with this. Our car has had a complete engineer reset (following a HV battery issue after a failed charge) and a software update and neither of these processes has resolved this same issue for our car :( I've had a look through the secret engineer menu (and...

    Rear spring area

    This may be a daft idea, but would it be viable to fill the space with bathroom sealent?

    Charging in France

    We went from Calais to the Alps in Spring. We found the Ionity and Fastned motorway network to be very reliable (but expensive). You can download apps for both and input payment details in advance. We used Chargemap to find chargers. I found the app to b frustrating to use (no easy way I could...
