@biffo - did you get the bonnet struts yet, if so did they work and was it easy to do?

Thanks for the vid @biffo. At about 12:11 the bonnet appears to be rising on it's own. Although that wasn't really so important to me. I might well grab a set!! I'll report back if I do...

@biffo do you know if these would these effectively raise the bonnet for you once it's unlatched, or just make it lighter to lift? And would they hold it open without the standard prop in place ( - I realise if you wanted it open for a while you'd want to use the arm)? I'm half interested cos I...

Is updating the radio really a user thing, or should it have been done by the garage?

I suppose they tend to be the more blinding ones, if they aren't designed for the car.

I'd like to think that I don't need them, and I won't be fitting them to the MG5, but previous cars have had them and it's another technological aid that I believe on the whole is a good one. I'm currently in Portugal driving a renter, a Dacia something. It has no front or rear sensors, a...

I like a bit of tinkering but what is the ambition here? It can't be to save electricity...?

That's good, what do you reckon it cost? Can you provide a link please?

I did the front and rear mostly just using my fingers, and the odd bit of help from a plastic spatula thing. I don't recall it being particularly tricky, and I was ready to bail if it became beyond my limited capabilities - but it didn't! :-)

I must say I didn't think I was skilled enough but I have it a go and it's fine, really pretty easy - and neat as well, if I may say! :-)

Remind me how much your car cost??? :-)

The invoice shows I paid VAT but not duty. I didn't pay anything else on arrival.

Thanks - I was thinking of going to Halfords to see what they've got but that looks pretty similar to what I already have, so I'll have another go and be a bit more forceful! The kit I have has an inline box which I guess includes a fuse but I'm not sure... Dunno why I made such hard work of...

I got a kit supposedly for the IIWEY camera I have. It has the three different size USB connectors for the camera end and the three different size fuse add-ons for the fuse end. So although it has the right size, as in the pic, that has a fat profile which prevents it going fully home (the bit...

I bought a kit from Amazon to hard wire the camera. I am not experienced at this but managed to follow the instructions from @Hairyfool to expose the fuse box. For me it is a little fiddly and I am nervous of breaking anything, but I couldn't get the add-a-fuse bit to plug into the fuse socket...

No idea but hurry, they've already gone up £12 since your screen shot!

This bloke in this forum is selling a spare set https://www.mgevs.com/threads/mg5-mud-flaps.5768/

I did the same. Easy fit, I used these ones https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002631575689.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.0.0.21ef1802ycsyzp

I got some paper stickers which look similar for about a quid from AliExpress. I've only fitted the driver one, it really doesn't look too bad and saves the scuffs, but don't look as classy as those.

They may twig that it is a campaign if they get half a million (well, maybe 10 if we are lucky) similar questions within a week!! I guess that doesn't matter though.
