    MG5 Spare wheel kit

    This all sounds a lot more complicated than phoning the AA and have them fix your puncture or tow you to a tyre centre.

    MG5 Excite door mirrors

    I ask the Mg owners club this question I got the answer below. I am keen on heated mirror as I think they are a key safety feature. At some point I will dismantle the mirror to see is wiring is tied back. If necessary have the door card off to see what’s in there. I did this on a previous car...

    Mud Flaps finally arrived - Any tips or tricks for fitting?

    The original one is steel, black coated. I used an old steel screw, the original washer and covered them both in grease before fitting. A dab of grease on the screw head afterwards. Job done.

    Mud Flaps finally arrived - Any tips or tricks for fitting?

    Bought mine from same supplier. I fitted myself, only removed and reused two fittings/screws for back set. The front ones both sides need a longer screw in the cup shaped insert as the original ones are way too short. Been fitted about 4 weeks now, very solid and don’t seem to need any more...
