    It's booked in for a "first service" next week which is apparently a 30 minute check over 👍

    MG5 LR Pre-Facelift 6 month update

    Hi all, haven't posted for a while but thought I'd share my 6 month update. Firstly I log everything so below is my costs split by business/personal mileage which are outstanding (I'd put £80 in for 400 miles in my last vehicle). Business Miles 4,792 Cost of Business Miles £134.46...

    July for me... Total charging cost £53.51 Quite a few motorway trips at 70 in there too.

    The Ultimate MG5 "Real World" Energy Consumption Thread

    🤣 You made a lot of assumptions there based on one small statement! Perhaps he meant if a lorry catches him up he will slow down for them to overtake? Lots of foreign lorries and sometimes the Irish lorries overtake me when I'm doing 60, especially down some of the bigger hills. I tend to slow...

    Satnav issue not solved by dealer

    The dead reckoning issue was more for the MG ZS I believe (although happy to be corrected) so it may be you're confusing the two as the settings are different. Have you had a read of the separate Infotainment manual posted on this forum?

    7 Year Warranty T&Cs

    Wouldn't trust the dealer then, as mine came with a handbook in a MG case. It's tiny, and easier to read on the computer, but all the same it was supplied.

    Auto lights - fix?

    Mine don't come on automatically unless it's really dark so mine must be set at 4 already!

    The Ultimate MG5 "Real World" Energy Consumption Thread

    Glad to be able to finally join this thread 😂 This is for the last 11 days I've had the vehicle, having covered 698 miles - really enjoyed it! I've been very fortunate that my usage pattern over these 11 days has meant that I've managed to keep my charging solely in the cheap period of...

    Low Back Pain with New MG5

    Unfortunately it's one of those things where everyone will have their seat slightly different. I'd persevere for another week but try a different position each day and see if you can tweak it from there 😊

    Low Back Pain with New MG5

    I found it took me a few days to get the right position. In the end I settled on a higher seat, with slightly less view under the mirror, for a comfier position in terms of legs and back. I've also found on longer journeys the left foot rest brings my leg too high, so don't use it now and have...

    Awaiting code for govt. grant?

    I posted on the shipping updates thread (I think) a while back that we're still waiting over 12 months now for a few Transit Customs to show up. If the vans don't arrive we'll have nothing for new recruits to drive (getting a hire van is a joke right now) and may have to defer their start dates...

    SWARCO MG5 Service vehicle

    Whilst it isn't a true van, there are more and more companies/councils/utilities using MG5s for this purpose because of their range. If you can fit all you need into an MG5 it makes perfect sense over driving a large box that spends most of its time 25% filled.

    Speed signs

    Mine doesn't recognise 20 and thinks national is 60 on dual carriageways... I don't think MG will update it with the new model coming out.

    Long distance journey

    I've yet to get below 40% in my 4 days of ownership but yes, off to Birmingham next week and hoping my plan sticks! To be fair there are lots of options in a big city like Birmingham, but I guess the Eden project is a bit more countrified!

    When's the next MG5 delivery?!!

    A picture now it's clean(ish) and I figured that a celebration of my first rapid charge would be a good photo! Ok so I picked an easy one, Instavolt, but considering I turned up with 40% it still gave me 79kw so I was impressed ☺️
