Thanks I'll have a look at that again. I did try lubricating it but I think problem for me is not that it's not being be pushed in far enough, I think it is coming out enough. Thank you. Sounds a bit daunting with my DIY skills but it's good to have as an option. I think a general problem with...

Thanks for the cost comparison. Maybe I'll try magnets or some other improvised solution and try to save some money.

Went to the dealer. They said they think front of the catch has been pushed in ( nothing fallen off). They saying probably whole of the front grill including the charging port door will need to be replaced. Not under warranty (its 3 years old). They going to call me back with a price.

Yes that's what I meant. Maybe sticker is not the right word, but it's some kind of self adhesive cover over the "bobble" in the middle of the cross piece.

Thanks for the video. It's helpful to see. The fault on my car charger port door is actually slightly different. The catch will go in and stay in when pushed by my finger. It also rotates so it could potentially still hold in the door. The problem is it won't stay in when pushed by the door.

Your catch is in the top photo. Mine in the bottom photo. The "bobble" in the middle of the catch looks slightly wider on yours than mine. Also there's some white residue around the "bobble" on mine suggesting there was some kind of patch on top of the bobble which has fallen off leaving a glue...

Thanks so much for your photos. I think I see what the problem is now. It looks like there is an adhesive patch on the tip of the catch which you have on yours but must have fallen off mine. (Maybe due to charging in the rain). Because my catch is slightly shorter now it doesn't get fully pushed...

Thanks so much to you both for your help. I tried locking and unlocking a few times but didn't help. I found if I hold the charging door closed and then lock the doors it will stay closed while doors are locked. But as soon as I open the doors to get in the car the charging door springs open...

Yeah I saw that crack. I wondered if someone might have reversed into it but couldn't see any other marks on the plastic "grill"area. Maybe you're right it was vandalism. Any tips for fixing it?

The door covering my charger port on mg5 2020 is not staying closed. The car is parked on the street outside my house, When I went to the car last night, after not using it for three days, the charger door was open. I couldn't make it stay closed. As far as I remember I hadn't left the door...

Only thing I miss is not having a seven seater. I used to have a 2012 deisel Peugeot 5008. Maybe one day I'll replace my mg5 with a second hand 7 seater ev when they become available... and cheap enough.

I think people have some legitimate anxieties, and many irrational ones. The fact that the government has said it will phase out ice cars does make EVs more scary for people especially as the cost difference is so high for people. ICE industries are being disrupted, it's hard for legacy car...

I've usually found them reliable but sometimes full up. There are other chargers at South Mimms installed by Apple Green I think, one of which gave my MG5 a fault. I had to turn off the car for 10mins and then turn back on and then it worked again.

Definitely gridserve Braintree is good. Also South mimms services if it fits with your journey? Unfortunately the rapid chargers on the M11 in Essex never seem to work in my experience.

Result! - just went on Hallfords and Thule website and they now sell three different rear boot racks that they say fit my car which is a 2020 MG Excite! Bike rack and carriers for your car | Thule | United Kingdom

I put some silicon bike lubricant on on Thursday and no problem since then.

The other day i was about to drive off and noticed the door driver's door was open. I tried closing it again from the inside and it still wouldn't close. It took sometime before i realised the door handle was sticking in the out position! So now I try to make sure when i open the door that...

Glad it all worked out and thanks for sharing the problem.

Thanks for following up. Do you know who we could email in MG UK to find out if they can give any weight recommendation on the roof of the Excite... or might consider doing so after further tests?

Hi All, I have been looking for roof bars that could fit my 2020 MG5 Excite. This would require the kind of "universal" roof bars supplied with clamps that are designed for cars without rails. (e.g. Thule 754 or MontBlanc Supra) I have checked on several websites including: montblancgroup.com ...
