Mine does this and it’s front suspension bushes. A bit of a squirt with silicone spray sorts them out. To be honest a number of my past cars have done this and it’s really common due to the type of bushes used in most vehicles.

It does still happen but generally at highest states of charge. Waiting a few minutes normally sorts it out.

Battery % is calculated using the voltage, which itself varies with temperature. It’s quite likely that the cooling battery will show lowering terminal voltage, hence calculated %. Either that or it wandered off somewhere for a while.

I quite like the Hankook Ventus Prime 3.

Does anyone have any information about the size of the drain plug on the 5? I plan on fitting a magnetic plug if I can source one.

Frequently use Gridserve chargers on my trips from London to Aberystwyth and I see this fairly often. If you let the charge go past about 90% then at some point the charge ends abruptly with the vehicle having terminated it as it was unhappy with the response time of the charger when commanded...

As I have a non-LR MG5 mine didn't come with the roof rails but I was wondering if they are available as an option for me to fit later? It's not that I particularly want roof rails but I could fit the antenna I wanted to install in the location where one of the rail feet bolt on so I can...

I have a pair of Hankook Ventura Prime 4 on my 5 and they are grippy, quiet and feel good.

That would be somewhat concerning. Did you filter/save any of the silt and, if so, was it smooth and rounded or sharp chips?

All sorts of things aren’t done because they are thought unnecessary but turn out later to have been very much advisable.

Morning all, Has anyone here changed their reduction drive oil and, if so, what sort of condition was it in vs mileage? Thanks in advance. Piggly.

No problem.

I can probably help with this if you are stuck.

I’ve used it for many years and it’s something you get used to after a while, particularly as you should really be focusing past the windscreen on the road ahead!

I have done th SE London to Aberystwyth trip a few times in my 5 SR and have never had a problem charging. The drive through the Brecons on electric is lovely and quiet.

I shall answer my own question, just for those who might be interested... Changing the door mirror unit is not hard if the base is intact. Changing the base itself is a major arseache but is not the largest issue here. Getting the parts to do it yourself is the issue; £150 for the mirror...

Be really cautious with alcohol on coated leather as it tends to make the coating blister and come off. I had problems a few years back with this being caused by alcohol hand gel... The best bet for cleaning this would be water-based baby wipes, not ones with alcohol in them, just water based ones.

Hi all, How much of a faff is it to replace the door mirror assembly? A kind person has punched off the whole mirror assembly, breaking the aluminium casting that form the internals of the hinge. tra and many thanks in advance. Piggly

I only noticed mine doing this in the fortnight after it was serviced…

Oh, I know full well what assumptions are.
