    A-Pillar Rear Wash Pipe Fix

    I stopped using mine the moment I heard a jet of water from what appeared to be the dash. In that case nothing was obvious. I booked in at MG for next month but decided to have a go. Another attempt at using the washer I heard the splash but was now definitely from A-pillar and got a few drips...

    A-Pillar Rear Wash Pipe Fix

    I've just experienced the leaking rear window washer leaking into to drivers footwell. Here's some pictures to help others. When I turned the dial for the rear window wash it sounded as if the water was being squirted behind the dashboard directly in front of the driver. It's most likely to be...

    Standard Load Cooper Tyres At New

    I'm looking for some help on clarifying tyre specification for our 71 reg 5 Long Range that came with Cooper tyres. We just had a puncture that required a new tyre. It was noticed that the original tyres are Standard Load which I'm told would be an Mot failure. I've replaced the fronts with...

    MG5 Intermittent wiper setting

    Does anyone see any effect with adjusting the intermittent wiper dial on the stalk? Each time I use ours I do not see any change in the wipers frequency of sweep.

    EV savings over petrol/diesel

    We've just completed our first year in 5LR at 20k with home charging (Ohme Pro with Bulb EV) showing £759 plus guesstimate rapid charging of about £100. This distance in our old diesel would have been about £3k at 50mpg and £1.60/l. This makes for about £2k saving on fuel.

    Damp foot well s misted up windows for 2 months

    There's been a lot of cases of the front/rear washer tube joints popping in sub zero weather. When they thaw your screen wash gets dumped inside the car each time you try to use it.

    Autodimming Rear Mirror

    I always thought the rear view mirror was rubbish at auto dimming until I realised that the centre rear headrest might be blocking the view. I removed the headrest and it works like a charm now.

    Tyre Pressure & TPMS

    The second interpretation. The TPMS is showing the correct pressure but I would have expected it to alert me that they were in fact under pressure.

    distance/battery anxiety

    I'd normally preplan longer journeys for rapid charging at 30% and look for a Podpoint at Lidl or Tesco away from motorways to get to 80%. I use Zapmap which is okay but is a bit clumsy. Don't assume large towns in densely populated areas have decent chargers. For example Aylesbury is rubbish...

    Tyre Pressure & TPMS

    Just a point from my lesson learnt. When we got our 5LR a year ago the tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS) showed the tyres at 2.0 bar. After coming back from its first service it was still 2.0 bar. So I've always assumed 2.0 bar was correct until I read the pressure figures inside the...

    Ohme Home Pro 3.8kW max charge

    Yes. My wording could have been better. When I say "max" I meant the limited maximum that the charger should output should the house be drawing as well.

    Ohme Home Pro 3.8kW max charge

    From vague memory possibly yes under the load balancing feature. But I have a feeling that it only implements the max when it detects additional drawing of current to the house.

    Screenwash Capacity

    It might have frozen but I tried the front and rear washers as soon as I refilled and they worked straight away.

    Screenwash Capacity

    My wife mentioned that the screen wash had run out. I opened a 5l container expecting at least half of it to be used but barely a quarter was used to brim the wash container. I can see this being a frequent task.

    Ohme Home Pro 3.8kW max charge

    I wish I'd gone for the Zappi as I'm replacing my dead ImmerSun with one from the makers of Zappi. I was drawn to the Ohme thinking the display screen would be handy but I've not used it in 10 months as it's a faff, can't see the screen in sunlight and the app is easier to use.

    MG Pilot vs Cruise Control + Lane Assist?

    I'm driving original 5 LR Exclusive and months ago I turned off what I thought was lane assist and just used the ACC. Now my understanding was MG Pilot wasn't an actual thing rather just a collective name for the ACC and Lane Assist. Today I turned on the ACC using the stalk. Having fiddled...

    Low mileage service

    16k miles, 1 year, quoted £94 at Lincoln Warner MG, £102 from NT Shaw at Louth. Went for latter as that's where bought it and nearer.

    MG5 LR 2022 Infotainment

    Ours died temporarily whilst using navigation and radio. I could see the time and temperature at the top, hear the radio but nothing displayed in the center. Android Auto worked so this must be a software problem. Restarted the car a few times didn't work but fine by next morning.

    Newbie MG5 10 Things Learnt in First Month

    Yes, Exclusive. 7 seconds to hold the fob buttons seems like an age but is welcome in this hot weather.
