This has to be my ultimate fun car and was quite reliable. Worst problem I had was locking myself in the car! The car had child locks on the front door!! (Colin Chapman had bought a lot of austin 1800 rear door locks cheap?). I had to open the window and open the door with the outside door...

I don`t know how do I find out ? How do I adjust setting (assume it is at factory default setting )?

This looks good news I have a Zappi 2.1 unit and an early SR MG5. Does anyone know if it is still possible to schedule a charge within the 6 hour off peak window (much like the existing octopus Go 4 hour window) My reason is that I have a few Tesla power walls that start to take power usually...

Octopus are great I use Octopus Go the price has just dropped to 9p for cheap rate period . I also use Solar panels and a Tesla powerwall so effectively the maximum I pay for electric is 9p per unit or even less if the sun is out! I find octopus very easy to deal with and easy to control (unlike...

Still a rip off selling a used part for nearly double the price.!

Due to a recent parking accident (don`t believe the reversing camera) I found I needed a new passenger side rear light cluster!!!!. Immediate thought was to look on ebay for somthing. Horrified to find the price was between £175 and £215 !!! I then thought I would find out how much a new one...

No phone signal where I live total black spot for any mobile reception 1,2,3,4 or 5G perfect! I use my mobile phone a a mug coaster.

Hi I swapped from an Octavia estate to the MG 5 20 months ago I am delighted with the MG5 (I have the short range version) The car has been faultless and ther is nothing to compare at the price. The only thing you will notice is the boot is smaller than the Octavia and unfortunately the back...

I always smiled when I received the tax notification on my old Bentley T1 they kept telling me to buy a car with a smaller engine etc to save on road tax!. Seemed odd to me as a 6.75 litre V8 cost zero to tax!!! (There are so many loopholes in the existing system) The ecconomy on the road tax...

Hi I live in West Wales and have seen three different MG5s on the same day! (that also excludes the one I drive). So if you can`t find any in South Wales visit Ceridigion and go MG5 EV spotting ! The MG5 EV makes a great car to own if you are fortunate enought to have a driveway and your own...

I am not sure what the life expectancy of these unit will be but is it really worth installing an old unit in your new property? A significant cost of installation is all the cables and switch gear? are you taking the whole installation with you? if you do take the unit make sure that the...

I agree, I always end up changing suppliers as they always increase prices. it mut cost the a lot of money in their admin but they are so stupid, these days its so easy to get a requote from other suppliers. as a matter of principal I never remain witha supplier even if they offer to match my...

While it is nice to have the MG name back it is not so important. There are many other "trusted" main stream manufactures that have cars built in China, but many people are oblivious of the origins! Remember the original Samsung strap line about buying our product not our name ! Eventually...

Hi Regarding the shocking price of electricity if you are in the fortunate position to off set some of the cost using solar power you do have a chance to save the amount of "paid " electric you consume. I have a fairly simple system linked to a Zappi charger, I also redirect spare power to heat...

All I will say is enjoy your test of the MG5 EV and I hope like me you will find it to be an excellent and suprising car and buy one as a result. I have thoroughly enjoyed driving every mile and find it even more relaxing to drive than my Bentley. Remember in the 1970s the cars from Japan...
