    MG5LR ( May22) / Zappy charger

    Generally I home charge and ALWAYS have to check on the dash that there is a charge time showing. Occasionally for various undetermined reasons this does not always happen. Yesterday evening on eco 1.2A the charge stopped. It took about 15 attempts to get a charge going as it would charge at...

    Overall Average miles/kWh

    It seems like our MG 5 L/ R has its AVG m/ kW stuck at 3.6, it has been this number since about November. It could be just the colder weather/ cumulative, but seems odd it has not moved even 0.1. Daily use over the winter were typically 3.3/3.6 the last 2 months 3.6/4.2. Average up till late...

    Lane Warning anomaly

    My wife pointed out that the lane Warning for our 11month old MG5 LR was doing something odd. On testing it, it seems that the lane Warning only works on the left side, but instead of the normal dash indicator/ bleep for this, the radar system comes on giving 2 distance car icons, the upper one...

    Payment for charging May 2022 LR

    Hi, to date we rarely needed to charge as virtually all travel is well within the 200 mile winter and 250 mile summer ranges and our Zapi fine for this( idiosyncrasies and all, eventually it charges) However the few times we did it was rare to not have issues in payment by app. So on a trip to...

    MG5 LR- Heating Parked Up

    Waiting at a hospital car park last night, put heating on.After 20 mins barely any warmth.Then saw 12V showing on dash. So in instances like this, how do you get heat into the cab and if you do is the duration limited by the cab battery. Thank you

    Charging/ Zappy- a change

    I noticed last week that my STD charging sequence won't work. I always in the 3 months had the car, plugged in Zappy,selected eco or fast, locked the car - to read off on the car dash charging time remaining and if charging is happening. Now if I do so the car dash and Zappy are in delay. I now...

    MG5 LR Elite 2022 Abrupt throttle when slow manouvering

    We have just noticed that the slow speed throttle (when doing tight manouvering/ parking at home on our 10° print parking) about 1 out of 3 slow speed movings( both forward and reverse) is VERY abrupt, like the throttle curve may be being affected by heat. It is not consistent Is this a known...

    The MG5 front radar block wires

    I was cleaning off yet more bee poo from my white MG5, and noticed the apparently fairly fine exposed wired going to the front radar unit. Has anyone assessed the cablings vulnerability from collecting or hitting debris, and if there is a better interface of the cabling into the radar than just...

    MG5 LR charging with a Zappi 2 in Eco2

    Does anyone know if there is a minimum charge when using the Eco2 mode when using solar or wind energy Or indeed if on a Zappi or similar anyone is successfully charging with low amperage. Our car does very few miles weekdays, thus can spend a day(s) being slowly topped up for free( besides...

    MG5 keyless/ Faraday key cage

    I have a Faraday key bag and use it, but because of how near one needs to be to activate the keyless, does this mean, if someone was trying to steal your hey signal would they not have to be equally as close or is pick up ( signal cloning)equipment far more sensitive than the car is. Any thoughts

    2 weeks into our first eV and really pleased with the miles/kW and range accuracy. Average for 550miles of mainly dual carriageway/ motorway 55/65 mph 4.3miles / KW. The % and miles remaining seem pretty accurate too. Yes it is becoming warmer weather and winter energy reduction to be expected...

    MG5 sat Nov - require arrow in driving direction

    We can't seem to find if/ how the onboard sat Nov can be altered so that the arrow icon is pointing in the card driving direction not north as it is. We do use Google map, BUT it seems the car is quite regularly not happy with the USB connection and gives an error message. Have bought 3 new...

    Our now 2 week old car and 550 miles pulls away both forward and reverse a little with no foot on the throttle. Is this intended as manufactured. And if correct, does this mean that say queing at traffic lights on a hill or similar for more than 30 seconds, should the car be put in park mode...
