    Having some major issues with my mg5

    The rear shocks are external mounted in the wheel arch, only the top mount fixing will be in the boot space and are likely to be gas filled ?. The oil / wall traces were found under the spare wheel, in the wheel well area.

    Goodbye or See you Later

    The Kona and the e.Nero are popular EV’s. They were the biggest rivals when the ZS EV was first released back in 2019. The pricing of the ZS EV at the time, made it extremely inexpensive in comparison. Good luck with the job and your new EV.

    MG5 review after covering 120,000 miles.

    Having followed his channel for a while now, I know he is very offered to charge at he address of many of the customers that he visits. He charges from home if he conducting fairly local calls, plus when he has to stay over, he tries to pick accommodations that offer the FOC chargers included...

    Having some major issues with my mg5

    Could it be some type of wax / oil cavity treatment ?. Does is feel a bit sticky, when you squeeze it between your finger and thumb ?. Lubrication oil on the other hand, tends to feel very thin and extremely viscous. The smell of cavity wax / oil is different from lubrication oil, hard to...

    MG5 review after covering 120,000 miles.

    James openly admits that these vehicles receive a hard life with the minimum amount of attention, purely down to the heavy work load they conduct. Not only are they covering star ship mileage, they are doing it fully ladened five days a week, every week. No doubt they are receiving a fair amount...

    Normal tyre wear after 18k miles?

    Our ZS EV LR is two years old and covered about 16,500 miles. It had its 2nd service three weeks ago. Tyre 🛞 wear was recorded as 5mm remaining on all four tyres. I expected there to be a slight variation as they have never been rotated. FWD cars tend to eat front tyres at twice the speed of the...

    I know that 100% battery and KERS is impossible, but...

    I wanted to try and catch our ZS EV ( Gen2 ) performing a balance cycle at 80% SOC - as some owners had said that their MG4 did balance below 100% mark. So, I decided to charged our ZS LR to 70% SOC on the cheap off peak rate, then the following morning, I reset the charge level upto 80% and put...

    Regen is still present at 100% SOC but of course, it is reduced in its intensity. There is a head / buffer at both the top and bottom of the pack, that can not be accessed, but still exists never the less.

    A-Pillar Rear Wash Pipe Fix

    A small cable tie fitted around that push fit female adapter, would be an almost certain fix IMHO. The factory fit on its own, can not be secure enough. Any sign of cold weather and that joint is going to freeze and then “pop”. The adapter is subject to any cold weather conditions, that is due...

    Tesla Supercharger Issue MG5 LR

    If you are going to approach your dealer in order for them to carry out this update, then can I kindly suggest that you go armed with the info provided on the forum by Les and other members. Otherwise you may receive a negative response to your request 🤷‍♂️.

    Tesla Supercharger Issue MG5 LR

    Hi Les - A long awaited, but much appreciated result for yourself. Miles with help from his colleagues at MG and the team at Chorley group have provided clear evidence that this update IS possible, as a number of other dealers have said it can NOT be done. After the service manager at my local...

    Time for a change after 14 months.

    We owned a VW PHEV for four years, before going full BEV in 2019. It was a great car to drive and gave very good returns regarding economy and no range worries of course. Top Tip :- Just remember to build in some extra expense when it comes to servicing costs though !. You are serving two...

    rear wiper water leak under vin windscreen window.

    I agree, it’s a bad design if you need to remove the dash to gain access, but honestly I do doubt that this is the case myself TBH. If the concentration level of the screen wash is mixed strongly enough, then it should never freeze in the first place. I like to mix my own and never use the...

    Pre heating and Tesla charger

    Yes - I remember it clearly @Gomev. I think Miles sat down with a few of the early members and they ended up with three sides of an A4 sheet of recommendations for MG to look at. Some of these were implemented on the face lift model, but some features from the “wish list” unfortunately could...

    Non-existent parts/repair service

    The problem appears to be, if the part(s) are on a back order, that means they are coming from China. If the part is in stock in the UK then you are in with a better chance of sucess. MG spare parts supply has simply not kept pace with the huge increase in sales over the last few years...

    Where can I find my service history without MG iSmart?

    The dealer should have a check off sheet that they use to perform the correct schedule of work that matches the requirements laid down by MG. Ask them before the service to provide you with one.
