Expensive finance and ample supply of preloved MGs(EVs in general) are to blame. You can expect the prices to stabilise once financing a car becomes cheaper

Will advise you to sprinkle water/hose pipe/pressure wash. The view will progressively deteriorate if you repeat cleaning with tissue. Don't ask how I know...

All EV batteries should have automatic battery heating and cooling to keep battery within a temp range so that they can deliver enough current for optimal performance of drivetrain. DC charging is at higher current than what typically a drivetrain needs and may need warmer battery to achieve...

It is best to refer to EV database and all EV marketing should be mandated to use them when selling. Real Range Estimation between 145 - 310 mi City - Cold Weather * 205 mi Highway - Cold Weather * 145 mi Combined - Cold Weather * 175 mi City - Mild Weather * 310 mi Highway - Mild...

Hello Les Does FL have automatic battery heater?

Thanks Les I do not own a MG5 but I can share my most recent GOM experience on MK1 ZSEV. Drive, Sale to Cambridge (187 miles) 50mph AVG with a stop at Corley Services Southbound for recharge. AVG mpkwh- 3.9 Start 04.30 Arrive 09.00 Same day drive back Cambridge to Sale (187 miles) 50 mph AVG...

The secret is to have the key in your pocket. Press the unlock button on the key to unlock charging port when on an AC charger. On DC chargers it is a bit different, you can unlock charging port by ending charging session on the payment machine. If you find yourself in a situation where...

MG5 facelift is expected to arrive in the second half of 2022.

Boot mat for ZS struggles as well when boot floor set to lower position.

I had LR as courtesy car for a day last week. Suspension felt stiffer than what I remember from my test drive of standard range. Power delivery in Normal was no different. Definitely higher off the ground, you could feel the step up. I notice that it misses Blind spot and rear cross traffic...

I am in possession of a MG5 LR as a courtesy car from my dealer. I might have to return it later in the day. Do you want me to verify anything?

Type 2 is not included with the car. It is included when you buy on the affinity scheme. On finance dealers tend to through freebies and I am sure few members received cables part of overall deal. You do not need to look far. Some are on sale in the community classifieds...

My guess is that 10 mins is the time for the fault error code to auto-reset. I agree that MG could improve the SW to avoid a fault, as you suggested it could either cool aggressively or throttle down charge rate or a mix of both. I am sure there are cars with either better SW or more helpful...

You have to insist for a report of the work carried out. You can still ask dealer to provide reports as they are digitally stored in MG database. The battery has built in protection which kicks in under certain circumstances. The protection seems to isolate tthe HV battery for some...

Clearly, MG UK has communication gaps with MG HQ in China. To have errors in car specifications is a big mistake and to repeat it in the long-range model after the roof rail fiasco is unpardonable. A good car gets bad publicity because MG UK keeps repeating the mistakes.

@Stuart Wright ZS EV owners are reporting similar problems. Please, can this poll be made available in ZS EV area as well.

Yes, they are not clear enough in explaining inaccuracy. Here is the article, https://www.wheelwright.co.uk/knowledge-base/tpms-tyre-pressure-monitoring-systems/

The same article mentioned this. They called it indirect TPMS and said it is an inaccurate system and used for run-flat tyres. I will try to find the link and post it if I can.

A drive is supposed to be needed after tyre pressure is reset. Under normal conditions it should show updated readings. It is better to clarify this with dealer. I expect them to understand TPMS by now, technology has been there for several years.

An article on internet suggests the sensor transmits data every 30 secs whilst in motion. Battery life is expected to be 5 years or 160000 miles. When parked sensors transmit once every 20 to 30 minutes. They are expected to immediately detect a flat tyre after park.
