    Another system fault this time “ECU coolant overheating” and some serious!!

    Anyone had “ECU coolant overheating” red warning and then the fan in the bonnet of the car goes into maximum mode!? My MG5 is not drivable now, so will have to ask MG recovery to transport it to my dealer for yet another fix. Had enough of this car!

    MG5 SR Exclusive - Parking System Fault ⚠️

    MG Peter Vardy has my car for over a week now, they were doing a full software update after MG advised on how to attempt to fix the fault code, but not heard back. I believe I’m the first to have this reported…… will report back once I heard what happened to my car.

    MG5 SR Exclusive - Parking System Fault ⚠️

    Mine is a SR so doesn’t even any driving aids…. No idea what it is. Good news is that MG has relocated to near me in Aberdeen to Peter Vardy, so booked in for end of Oct. Earliest they can do it, as they are just finding their feet at the dealership just now! Lots of cars, no Cyberster yet.
