I always make sure that the Zappi is set on Eco++ and it seems to work fine on my early 53 kWh MG5? and Zappi2 (this is what Myenergi told me when I had charging problems) The only time I had a failure charging was when I forgot and left the Zappi at stop! and not Eco++ It may be worth a...

I hate to say that there are so many wear and tear items on a car that any manufactures weasle words in their warranty will allow them to say " sorry mate" wear and tear item not covered ! Even items like body corrosion will require that the car is inspected and serviced in exact compliance of...

The most significant gain would be the range with an LR version. Mind you there are some great prices on the pre FL LR version with low miles and some registered in 2023? So you could get the main benefit at minimal cost. The only other real gane with the FL version is the improved head...

I have one of the old ones and I have to say I find the appearance quite acceptable and the instruments and controls are great . Real knobs and buttons and not stupid touch screen controls. I note that ENCAP are revising the rules and acceptance regarding touch screen controls "v" sensible...

Yet more evidence that the MG 5 is a great car, at present they are the bargain of the second hand market now

You have done well at 18k. I am affraid my fronts did not do much more than 12k miles. But I do most of my travelling on hilly "b" roads. The KERS and constant change in speed does not help tyre wear. Mind you I was delighted to get rid of the original bridgestones which were useless.

Just one point on charging if you use Octopus Intelligent go when you set it up the first time make sure the system knows the battery is the 61Kw version. as the software works on % 10 % = 6.1Kw if you use the setting for the older car that would be 5.3Kw for 10%

If you have a zappi 2 why not try using the octopus go intelligent tariff; it gives 6 hours cheap rate at 7.5 p/kWh. The octopus software works well on my early SR MG5.

Yes Its Llandysul time zone it affects all MG 5s in Wales

Coming up to three years with mine Been a great car,the only minor point is the grip on the front wheels is not good in slippy mud or snow as torque is so good and traction control is a bit weak! Even in eco mode it is very tricky to control spinning wheels in mud. Running costs are great as I...

I am very sorry to hear about your problem. Living in Sunny Wales I encountera lot of rain and floodwater. The other dayI drove through several areas of flooded road (at least 100mm deep) I had no problem. I dont know if there have been any design changes that affect the problem but for nearly...

I was lucky, the wife crunched a rear light cluster on the MG5 and my dealer supplied a replacement part within 48 hr and the price was not too bad (1/2 the price on ebay?!!!!!) I suspect its is luck and how good the dealer is. I have always found my dealer O C Davies to be very helpfull. I...

Glad your enjoying your MG5 I think they are great cars.(very under rated) Key things to note is remember the weather makes a huge difference on your consumption. A standard route I drive ranges from 2.8 M/KWh to 5.6M/KWh. depending on temperature In addition I have noted that carried load makes...

As an MG 5 owner I would a 4x4 MG4 estate but would prefer it detuned a bit and the biggest battery fitted to increase range to 320 mies! also a slight increase in ground clearence would help! Meanwhile I will keep running the MG5 and the Skoda Octovia Scout which gives a range of 600 miles...

If in doubt leave it. There are loads around they are great cars get a good one. The ideal is one that has always been charged at home and not had too many visits to a fast charger. There are still some pre facelift models around with very low miles. Make sure that you buy the long range version...

Useful information and will help save a lot of money. Out of interest how an earth did the valve get damaged like that in the first place ?

When you signed up the system asked you what ev and model you have I have an old Mg 5 with a 53KW battery and a zappi charger When setting the App the % charge is based upon the registered car so in my case 10% = 5.3 Kw Before charging i look at the battery state meter in the car. say it is...

This time of the year it is important to have a good winter screen washer solution (-20deg C) The freezing and expansion of the screen washer solution seems to push the pipes out of the joints! Prevention is a lot better than cure

In the good old days MG5s came with a printed handbook. Mind you the covid special MG5s never had the lane assist stuff fitted even though the boxes on the windscreen were in place. The light blue buttons at the end of the stalk controls are always a good way of spotting the difference

It should work with a Zappi charger but as others say when you go through the set up make sure that the Zappi is the primary device. I set my early 53Kw MG5 and Zappi to IOG at the start of the month I had been previously using octopus go, the switch over was instant although i had a few...
