    Navi Extras

    A half decent alternative if you don't/can't use mobile data is Navmii. It's free. The maps are also free and get downloaded to your phone, which you can do via WiFi (I make sure the maps are assigned to the memory card, rather than internal memory). Coverage is via a range of maps worldwide...

    MG5 Brake failure

    Hang on: you reported a strange noise coming from the rear wheel area last year and asked them to check the brakes. I bet the car wasn't over 45k miles when you first reported a possible issue with the brakes. The fact that they couldn't find anything doesn't mean a fault wasn't there. Surely...

    Lazy Lock - Remote open/close all windows. Can it be disabled?

    Lazy Clock (long press on key fob opens / closes all four windows together) caught me out again today when my key fob got pressed whilst in my pocket. Has anyone succeeded in disabling the feature on an MG5 SR non-facelift? Can't find anything about it in the manual so I assume it isn't possible.

    DAB +

    It'd just be nice if DAB worked properly in the first place. I'm fed up with bubbling mud and the odd second of broadcast stuttering as the set transfers from one repeater to another

    Are you using a frunk? {aka froot)

    I have a nice hi viz jacket and a type 2 lead tucked in my frunk. They've been there the past 3 years with only the occasional outing. The jacket is still clean - you just need to be careful everything is tidy and nothing sticks out to get trapped under the stay or the bonnet rubber and care is...

    Android Auto not picking up my voice - Facelift 5.

    I have a feeling the speech recognition is done on the Google servers - I think. If you've got a pants mobile data signal at the time, that might explain the lack of voice recog.

    Problems disconnecting the Zappi 2 Charger from my MG5 2021.

    My inclination would be to kill the mains supply to the charger without the car connected, obv (switch off at the circuit breaker probably in your meter cupboard), forcing a reboot of the Zappi.

    Anybody using a MG5 as a taxi?

    My kids use mine as a taxi but I don't think that's what you're looking for 😁

    100% to zero (well almost) - 250 mile range test MG5 Excite LR (pre-FL - 2021)

    2020 MG5 SR and I'm getting anything up to 240 miles out of the battery, based on usage of 100% to about 15%, calculated on miles done plus GOM estimate of the remainer.

    Antenna or something on new windscreen

    If it's some kind of DAB antenna it'll be connected to the radio. Is there a wire coming away from the thing and disappearing into the dash somewhere,? If you have a phone, or access to one, with NFC capabilities, that might show whether it is an RFID tag. A negative result might just be an...

    My boot rattles like it's catching when I close it.

    Check there's nothing trapped betwixt the top of the tailgate and frame, especially under the aerofoil bit. Had a malformed acorn trapped there which was graunching against the bodywork as the tailgate was being closed.

    Highest GOM - just for fun ;)

    MG5 SR pre facelift with datasheet max of 217 miles range. After a ~ 190 mile trip, done on a single charge, the total of miles done plus GOM predicted miles left was 240. I've achieved similar values on other comparable runs. Well happy.

    I've never had such a bad car. MG5 EV

    Nope again. But with the observation that Hanlon's Razor may apply.

    I've never had such a bad car. MG5 EV

    You really need to download and use ZapMap. That would tell you which chargers are close by, which are occupied and which are working. You can filter results to only show 50kW units or higher, specific operators and connection type.

    I've never had such a bad car. MG5 EV

    MG5 SR, pre facelift (70 plate). Just got back from a 380 mile round trip from Norfolk to Sussex and back. Car well loaded with luggage, 2 up, Aircon on most of the time. Started with 100% charge from home charger. Got to Sussex in one, with 20% remaining. GOM remaining range plus miles covered...

    222 on GOM in an SR

    Now at 48% remaining. Without any Aircon running and in Economy mode, the GOM says 98 miles left in the battery. Odometer was reset when the car was fully charged and now reads 150 miles. So that's a total range of 248 against a spec of 217.
