    Best place to sell my MG 5

    I sold my X1 through Cazoo and they were brilliant. Saw the car, moved it 2m forwards, 2m back then said yes they'd have it if I still wanted to sell. I said yes, he pressed a button on his iPad and the money was in my account there and then. They took it away and I shed a little tear as I had...

    When's the next MG5 delivery?!!

    Hmmmm. I hope you're right but I'm not convinced you are. There's no release date that I'm aware of yet and no pricing structure released or even model names & spec & colours confirmed afaik? I'd check if I were you!

    When's the next MG5 delivery?!!

    Hope so for your sake! I read there were some dealers that had stopped taking any more orders as they couldn't guarantee getting any more cars.... Sure you'll be fine though!

    Constant “Lane Keeping Assist System Shut Down” pings

    I turned the lane assist off at the suggestion of the dealers. It's more for motorway with definite white lines instead of through town driving. He was dead right as I sneakily turned it back on on my first day to just see if it was overkill. It's not! It needs to be off in town!

    They had a bit of difficulty with Santander being sly and changing rates for pre-agreed contracts (naughty...) but pulled the stops out to keep me onside. The guy I dealt with was called Matt and he's been solid from my first enquiry in Sept last year. Quite impressed with them so far, none of...

    Welp, there she finally is in all her understated glory! #teamSilver 100% charge, 260 miles indicated. Boom! REALLY happy with her (it..?) so far after about 120 miles of party mode to get used to it. Got to work today and have used 44% battery so onto the works charger and fill up! Made a...

    When's the next MG5 delivery?!!

    Yeah I read that before. My deal was arranged on 3rd Nov but the finance was left until end of December PRECISELY to avoid any interest rate change... Like I said, I'm not monetarily worse off so I am happy to complete tomorrow, finally, but it sticks it the craw.

    When's the next MG5 delivery?!!

    That's where it gets a bit hazy. The finance paperwork was done and kept at the dealers. I think I know what's happened but can't confirm it, IYKWIM..... I'm not going to be any worse off as they've practically made all the difference up in the extra for my px and mats & boot liner, but this...

    When's the next MG5 delivery?!!

    I think there's gonna be some pretty annoyed people! Santander have raised their rate 1% and reneged on the contract I agreed. Gone up by (only) £8 a month. But over 4 years, that's £384 extra. Not impressed. Dealer have done their best to placate and offered more for my px and added mats & a...

    When's the next MG5 delivery?!!

    Reckon the dealers have done the smart thing and just ordered a bucket full of each model and colour to be for sale ASAP without having prior orders! Would explain how there's lots of cars being sold without the wait lots have had to endure!

    Water in boot where spare wheel normally would be

    I recently changed a neighbours wheel on their car as they had hit a pothole and their wheel was buckled, but the boot was very wet as well. I found the spare wheel fixing anchor had rusted and was letting water through, so if that is not plugged it'll let water in.

    New here, considering the MG5 EV

    I'm too terrified of getting the temperature too different! I reckon cold water would probably be ok but like you say it would just refreeze so you're no better off and you just create a puddle that will freeze where someone can slip over on!! I'm gonna keep on using my ice scraper and overnight...

    New here, considering the MG5 EV

    Never, ever, ever, ever do this.... Ever. Any slight defect and given a high enough temperature differential between the screen and the water and it'll crack like an egg.....

    When's the next MG5 delivery?!!

    Just had a word with my dealer. My car is NOT on the Sunlight Ace, nor the Grand Pioneer. It's already in the country! Chose my reg plate number and expecting delivery in the next week or so. 🥳🥳🥳🤩

    When's the next MG5 delivery?!!

    I'm hoping mine is on the Sunlight Ace currently just through the straits of Gibraltar and heading towards the Cape off Portugal!

    I know, but I'm a bit addicted to sending SWMBO a screenshot every day documenting it's progress across the sea!!
