    Should I replace my PR-FL excite with a new MG5 (probably SE)??

    The advantages of the SE over the Excite for me are the roof bars, extra range and the app to help monitor charging. Sadly when I was invited to discuss an upgrade with my local dealer I found my SR Excite is in negative equity on the current finance and so a deal couldn’t be made, otherwise I’d...

    Not so “great news about your vehicle “

    Not shocked at the idea of depreciation or that EVs are doing badly in general (Tesla slashing prices, negative press around fires and range etc etc), but percentage wise MG5 seems to have fared much worse than anything else. Book price was around £30k when new and now 2 years later you can pick...

    Not so “great news about your vehicle “

    Oh yes I knew it was a load of baloney from the sales guy, but was interested to see what a dealer would offer and doing a bit of research before going was shocked that a 2 year old car has lost two thirds of its value already when depreciation on other vehicles is much lower

    Not so “great news about your vehicle “

    With time to spare and a little curiosity I decided go have a chat with my local MG dealer who told me that they had great news that my 71 plate Excite is much in demand due to the ongoing chip shortage and they could offer me something newer and lower mileage for the same monthly payment. In...

    Two new issues

    I’ve had the wiper thing with the ready light. Presumed it was from rushing the start up process. Pulled up, switched on and off and all worked well again.

    MG 5 Excite roof bars / roof rack

    These look identical to the universal fit ones I got off eBay for cars without roof rails. They have two different types of clips for attaching to the lip of the roof in the door arches. I couldn’t get either clip to fit

    Charging - I charge my MG5 with the supplied MG charger but the 100% charge milage achieved is around 185 miles and no where near the 235 miles that

    So 100% charge is 100% charge, but the range is dependent on mi/kWh- driving style, weather, temperature etc that is what gives you the miles per kwh. And the GOM goes off the recent mi/kWh you have been getting. So 100% charge will give you more range in summer and if you have been driving more...

    Charging - I charge my MG5 with the supplied MG charger but the 100% charge milage achieved is around 185 miles and no where near the 235 miles that

    The GOM isn’t totally accurate, it’s a guessometer. It is based on your recent driving style, and will be affected by the weather, temperature and how fast you drive/accelerate. You can reset the trip computers to set it back to the advertised distance. Also switch off the aircon and put in Eco...

    MG5 Reversing Camera Lag

    Yes I find it’s way off straight, need to use mirrors and visual checks to correct it, but then again I don’t think you should just be using the camera alone

    Wipers not working.

    I have had this once on my pre facelift SR. Stop and start cleared the fault. I think it was caused by trying to switch things on too quickly on start up

    Kers 3 at 100% on MG5 (also missing DAB Radio)

    Is there a little box in the glove compartment with a USB wire to plug in for the DAB radio? I thought that was the temporary work around while they wait for the chips to arrive. My SR will only allow KERS 3 once I get to 95% or below

    Overall Average miles/kWh

    3.6 over winter? I wish! I’ve been lucky to get to 3 with my heavy foot, I was pleased to get 4.3 today with the temperature in double figures and no rain clouds in sight

    TPMS reset

    I think you need a dealer or someone else with access to the software = £££ Or like @Jomarkh says remember which wheel is in which place after the switch

    Interior light mg5 non facelift

    I don’t think they’d do any damage, it’s not like they are glued on with solvent, and I’ll probably leave them in and highlight them as an upgrade to get a bit more for the trade in value 😂😂😂

    Interior light mg5 non facelift

    Finally got round to solving this problem with my MG5 SR Excite (just as the gloomy winter nights are ending!). I got a pair of usb LED push on/off lights from Amazon and fitted them below the grab handles above each passenger door, they work perfectly and you can easily find them to activate in...

    MG5 Drivers display gone

    Another update: New unit fitted today and all back to normal. Spent the last few weeks just keeping it topped up and only doing routes I had done before so knew what charge it would use. I had a Fiat 500 as a courtesy car, and aside from the size issue for a tall guy it really made me...

    Left leg RHD Facelift

    I’m 6’4” and have no issues with the foot rest or seat position. Admittedly I don’t do many miles but have done some runs over 100 miles without any aches at the end

    MG5 Drivers display gone

    Happily driving along and the driver’s display has suddenly gone, just some blurred lines. So no speedo (fortunately got the manual one), no way to see remaining charge or GOM, no way to check 12v charge, no way to verify mileage, no way to confirm lights on etc., nothing. Can hear indicators...
