    Does high regen turn the brake light on?

    Ah you lot have it easy! The early shipment of MG5s did not display brake lights when high levels of regen were being experienced . We do now after a recall !!

    Intelligent Octopus Go works like a dream.

I have since made sure that I tell the app that I want the car by 5.30am. As a precaution I disconnect the car at 7.00am...

    MG5 Excite LR (pre FL) to MG4 SE LR - worth the trade up?

    Keep the MG 5 and wait a few years Put the £10k in a cash isa @ 5+% and wait a few years to see what new developments appear At Present MG5s are at a lower market value than they should be (they are not that ugly?) With good tyres the front wheel drive works well and was quite good in last...

    Think MG Dealership swapped my Alloy Wheels? Anyone had this experience before?

    Hi Looking at the marks they look older than a few days ? Either a wheel has been swapped or you may have scrunched the kerb. You would have heard it? The only other check you could do is take the wheel off and look for a date stamp in the casting and compare it with others on the car? If...

    Take off your MG4 wheel covers now!! All they do is damage the alloy and they look CRAP!!

    I seem to remember that alloy wheels were suppose to be lighter than a similar steel wheel, their use was intended to reduce the dynamic weight on the suspension and improve the handling. Sadly these days the alloy wheel option is often significantly heavier than the steel option and the...

    Paint Protection

    Had my MG5 tricoat red protected fom new. 18 month later is still looks great, only problem with tri coat paint is it is a bit more costly to repair. But it does look great. I find the MG paint finish is as good as previous VWs and Skoda, the only issue is it is a bit patchy underneath. In the...
