Boot length plus many more dimensions. https://www.ridc.org.uk/features-reviews/out-and-about/choosing-car/car/mg5-electric-maximum-range-5dr-estate-2022

After just 14 months of owning our first EV, the FL5 is being part exchanged on Saturday :(. We started the EV journey on mainly local journeys of 25 mile round trips twice a week plus local commuting to and from work (5 miles). However, we've found ourselves travelling more frequently to North...

For speed and convinience, I've gone down the Musicolet route. All albums are on laptop in WMA format, just as they were on the USB. Successfully transferred them to MP3, reloaded onto USB but car refused to read some of the albums. Those that the car did read were all over the place and in no...

FWIW, just updated app on Android to 2.0.2 and wow, front demist now actually works. Happy days :)

Thanks everyone for the advice and suggestions. File transfer to MP3 is something I'll look at long term but for now, Spotify via AA has come to my rescue. My most played and favourite artists are on there, so will create a few playlists to keep me going.

Griff & Gomez - the original USB files are WMA. I did try conerting to FAT, FAT32 and NTFS using an online file coinverter but the car still refused to acknowledge their existence. I'm happy to stream using a free/non chargeable service but how and what is the question if the USB stick is a non...

When our FL5 first arrived in Jan 2023, I thought it would be just a case of popping in the USB stick and away we go as per all previous non MG cars. How wrong was I and soon realised that the 50+ albums were in the wrong format for the 5 so tried to re-format them using 3rd party software but...

This thread has just reminded me to go out and connect my CTEK charger to give the 12V battery its annual recondition. The charger is hard wired to the 12V battery and lives in the battery compartment...

13.8 - 14.0V is a good charging voltage but depends on what demands are being put on it. A healthy battery "at rest" (measured with no load on battery, fully charged, disconnect charger, leave for 24 hours) is c.12.7V. Many articles on the web do not mention depletion rates. It's no good testing...

Being an avid VX fan (sad eh?), I'd take one tomorrow over my FL5 just for the boot capacity. Not so keen on the price though.

If I disconnevt the -ve on the battery, do you lose settings like radio and preferences when the supply is reconnected?

Interesting to see the power/torque curves here: https://www.automobile-catalog.com/curve/2021/3046100/mg_mg5_sw_ev_long_range.html#gsc.tab=0 Tops out at 154hp @ 4500rpm motor speed and then nothing more avaialble. Will have to look at motor speed on dash next time and see what's going on...

Decided today to see how the FL 5 would accelertate uncder full power (pedal to the floor job). Joined a motorway on an uphill slip of about 3/4 miles. In Eco mode, KERS 1, % power meter went up very quickly and then peaked out at 80%, no more % forthcoming. Thinking this might be an ECO...

I removed mine with sharp nose pliers, yes they are a tight fit. Did have to bend the mounts slightly to get a better pull and makes it easier to get the new ones in. As for are the Amazon ones correct, not sure. Here's the ones I used FWIW 501 Twenty20 12V W5W Flat LED Bulb in White

Our FL 5 + Ohme Pro: turned off all schedules on the Ohme to make it a dumb charger, set % charge on app to 80% or any other %, plug in charger and away we go. Simples for us. For scheduled charging, we use the app to set times.

I too have USB stiks in both NTFS and exFAT. Have tried online conversion programs but no luck to date. PITA really for what should be a plug and play, never had any issues in previous 21 plate Megane and 17 plate Renault Trafic.

Michelin 215/50-17 on our FL 5.

Also frustrating on the FL 5 is tha fact thhat there's only two rear sensors on the bumper and nothing on the bumper quarters. Reversing at an angle towards an object can be tricky. Most other cars I've had have at least 4 sensors. Might add to the existing ones at some point and maybe some...

FWIW, and 4 months into our first EV, we didn't buy our 5 Trophy for its economy and TBH, this aspect of ownership wasn't even on the radar when going electric. Having had a ZOE and ZS SR as courtesy cars, we were swayed by the performance, quietness, smoothness and overall relaxed driving...
