Thanks Les will ask for it to be done and see what happens.

My MG5 LR (pre facelift) is coming up to its second service. Is the software tweak for Tesla charging applicable to pre FL ?

Do you reduce the distance to minimum setting?

If you use adaptive cruise control this should maintain a safe distance.

It's not quite true that the slower the better and driving slower than lorries on busy motorways is hair raising. There is a base load from all the electrical stuff in the car (hydraulic pump, cooling pumps, heater/aircon etc) and the total KWHr these loads use from your available battery...

Crawl underneath by the passenger door and look at the plate on the battery pack. It will have the KWHr as part of the number.

Son rang to ask me to bring our MG5 over as his Leaf wouldn't charge on his Zappi, but would charge on the granny charger. MG wouldn't charge either so we started investigating the tethered cable for damage and sprayed some WD40 around the terminals. Still no luck. Then we noticed something in...

I had a similar experience with a different MG garage, they had ticked some things which they had clearly not done at all and left unticked things that they should have done. Garage immediately offered to redo the whole (1st) service for free. I would not go back to that garage and would not...

Went away for 2 weeks (without car) and when I got back decided to see what the state of the 12v battery was. So pressed start/stop button twice without foot on brake. The 12 volt battery showed 11.8 volts and dropping which suggested that it was at a low state of charge. Took car for a 20...

When the car is locked and charging if you stand by the drivers door and press lock again on the key fob the dashboard will show you the charging status. I charge mine using a timer so that I can stop it when I calculate it will reach 80%

MG5 LR Exclusive 2022

I think FL started in late 2022 not 21.

It is a biennial item in cars with ordinary brake fluid as the glycol based fluids are hygroscopic and the braking efficiency drops off with increased water content and also the components might corrode. If you want to avoid it you need to go for silicone brake fluid but this is only suitable...

Just been out to car (2022 Exclusive). Car was locked and I had a key. Opened boot. Put key in boot. Shut boot. Boot then popped open. So you can’t lock the key in the boot in my car. Also put a key on the drivers seat and tried to lock the car and it won’t lock unless you have a second key...

There are 2 stations just off M4 at JCT17, the MFG one on the A429 about 1/2 mile north of M4 is very new has 6 x 150KW points and always seems to have space.

Critair is very simple to get and very fast. Surprised that Sadiq hasn't implemented this to make yet more money.

Pre FL. You can try it, but keep the spare key out of range.

I expect many owners will already know this but probably worth posting anyway for those who don't. If you open just the boot when the car is locked and shut it again it is locked automatically. However if you put the key into the boot (as I did in error) and shut the lid then after about a...

3 Phase can be a lot more than a few thousand (son had to pay £15K) and it brings with it a whole load of complications. Do you have PV and if so is your inverter 3 phase? There are very strict rules about the wiring of the domestic circuits so that you can't have a fault that goes across 2...

With the port open push the locking pin on the car in with your finger and it will twist as it goes in and then lock with a click and stay retracted. If it doesn't click it isn't locked. Then push it in and it will unlock and pop out in a twisting motion. I suggest that you probably just need to...
