Hi All, I bought an ex-showroom trophy a couple of weeks ago. We’ve been having a bit of a ‘too and fro’ with the dealer trying to get to the bottom of our settings page on the infotainment system. I’m pretty sure it’s locked in some kind of Showroom mode. The dealer just told us to turn off all...

Me too.

It is some type of traffic light sensor coils under the road that interferes with the signal to the SOS network. It depends on how you are positioned over the coil and if there is already a weak signal in that area. When they designed the light sensors they had no clue cars would start...

A batteries optimal charging temperature is 30•c. Not ambient temperature but battery temperature. MG (nor most other manufacturers) do not precondition their batteries for charging (only really Tesla do). So they are generally either too hot or too cold. NONE of the chargers single out a car...

If any of you are visiting Fully Charged this weekend, the MG stand outside next to the Tesla test drive area are giving away MG goodie bags with branded key rings, caps, pens and travel cups. You can also get to test drive the new MG5 or ZS. Lots of cool new tech to see throughout the show as well.

SoaB! You’re right. MG 5 EV (2020) Charging Guide | Pod Point

There is some incorrect information here. AC 3phase CAN go above 7kW. Single phase AC is limited to 7kW because of the 32Amp limitations of your supply. 32A x 240v = 7.68kW Three phase AC is capable of 3x 32A x 240v which is 23.04kW but because of the 97% we can get from 3phases it gets...

Hehe 🙃 that’s funny. We do often hear of people not able to start a charge. But not being able to end one. Great story. Thanks for the share.

My personal recommendation is: For DRL extension, Light Blue. However, DRL MUST be dimmable or extensions permanently run at a lower brightness than existing DLRs at ‘their’ lowest brightness. For Fogs, Dark Blue (as these can only run when HL are on. Make sure it is switched. Also make sure...

not quite the same as a £300 cable

Thanks for the heads up. I’ve removed it now. I was being a child. Fun while it lasted. There’d be small chance of insurance liking it too it seems. Best not to play with it.

I wanted to mod my car with a small LED wire (1 meter) to go at the front of the hood. Did some testing with the wiring and found out the following. I post here in case some find it useful. Car Open, Power Off Bl/wh - 11V Rd/wh - 12V LgtBl - .03 DkBl - 0.6 Rd/gy 0.4 Position 1 (Amber led on...

I was told by my Business Lease company, GoGreen, that the dealer had told them I would get a single phase Type2 5m and a 3pin to Type2 charger unit. The Type2 5m came in an MG bag. Bought in December 2021.

I like this. I thought the common term was Zap and Dash. But I’m open to any humorous synonyms

KERS1 could even be enough if you are going up hill at a rate of knots and then release. I will try it out after mine gets done next week and I travel up Bluebell Hill.

Do a quick email to MG HQ in London ([email protected]) and ask them if it needs doing based on your Reg. What I was told by my dealer upon investigation is: The VIN is in the original list it has yet to be uploaded to DSR, we are awaiting on modification to DSR software before we attempt a...

Further response from my lease company and dealer clarifying why it had not shown on their system:

Interesting then that the dealer did not have it come up on his system, but hq say ‘based on your reg…’. I recommend using the email displayed to get in touch ([email protected]). Actually not bad service from them.

Yesterday, I gave up waiting to hear from the dealer and opted to contact MG hq direct. Got this response last night.

Got this back from my leaser:
