Estate cars are just out of fashion and have been for a long time. It would appear many purchased the MG5 as it was simply the best value EV around at the time, once the MG 4 arrived 5 sales plummeted. My local dealer confirmed this recently saying, whilst MG4 sales are still strong MG 5 sale...

Thanks hOZ, that is pretty good description of the problem as it occurs on my PF MG5 too. Manipulating the steering definitely makes it go away for a while. I wonder if anyone has had this issue on replacement (non Bridgestone) tyres?

Maybe :unsure: In line with the other thread about this I have swapped the tyres (front to rear) and so far I have had no reoccurrence, but I have not had any trips out on the motorway network (where I origionaly found it worse) since the swap. The tyres are the original Bridgstones and the...

I have noticed this problem recently on my (2 year old MK1) MG5 Only really noticeable on straight sections of road, locally and around town it's hard to detect. My suspicion is a power steering (torque sensor?) issue. But try as I may I can't detect any problem at a standstill which would...

Checking the cabin filter is a good tip, I will remember that at the next service on the 5. Glad you let them know your displeasure :) There must be some good ones out there and It's sad to say it, but in general, you can't trust them.

Sadly I have very little faith in main dealer servicing. For example. I had a full? service on my Citroen a few years back (to comply with the warrantee) that I have since concluded did little more than washing the car. Being an "old school" DIY mechanic I always check under the bonnet before I...

The brake module (it's obviously more complex than a conventional master cylinder) on the 5 is a Bosch component (it's written on it) so likely to be used on many EVs. I guess it would be possible to find out more about its functions if you dig deep enough on the net

There seems to be a lot of inconstancy with the application of these updates. I was aware of the recall when I picked up my 5LR January 22. I was assured at the time (by the service department) that there were no updates pending on the vehicle. At the 1st service last month they applied the KERS...

It does go off on mine, but it does stay live for quite a while after switch off

Ah yes you are of course right it was a Excite v Exclusive thing not SR / LR my mistake I will go back to sleep now ....... zzzzzzz

Isn't this a difference between the SR and LR? SR = intermittent, LR = rain sensing. On my LR I set to max sensitivity (biggest stripe) and it works adequately if not as good as on my old Citroen, better than the preceding Skoda and far better than a previous Honda! That said none of these...

Yes that's why I like them :) I've not done any significantly long trips since adding the AA wireless dongle so I am still in the testing phase. In most respects it works fine, connecting soon after entering the car. Currently two issues, 1: it occasionally decides not connect at all...

Interesting, I get this on my setup with the Moto G6 too. I haven't had the time or inclination to investigate the cause but thanks Smokie it looks like you have saved me the bother :) I despair at these software types who think catastrophic failure on error is acceptable. Sadly it looks like...

I have a Zappi and Octopus Go. Put the full 4 hours in the car (5 LR) last night and the recorded total charge supplied was lower than usual. Not by a massive amount but enough to make me check the recorded data. Charge started at approx 7kW as usual but after 3 hours throttled back to 5kW...

Interesting :unsure: Thanks Moth Perhaps mine was not aligned correctly and now it is, I doubt the camera has any adjustment designed in.

Now here is an odd one. I don't use the reversing camera much but I have noticed recently that the image now shows the top edge of the rear bumper...it never did before (car is coming up to its first birthday). My obvious thought is that the camera has moved in its housing in some way (the...

With Lithium cells1 cycle is usually classed as 0% to 100% As mentioned above pretty much all of these quoted battery performance tables are based on lab tests of single comercial cells, I have yet to see a fully documented test of an automotive grade battery pack which would have considerably...

It is quite possible that the output from the car is 220 Volts, which would give a lower power output on a simple fan heater. Have you got a plug in power meter you could test it with, handy devices and pretty cheap to buy

Can't say for sure* ref the MG 5 but in past vehicles these round sensors on the dash are "sunshine detectors for the aircon". It's more likely the lights are detected from a screen mounted detector. Just for the record my previous Skoda Fabia III auto lights were probably worse than the MG...

OK check valve maybe the wrong term here but some sort of baffle that would be designed to pass air not great globs of oil ....all speculation of course :)
