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...

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...

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

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...

Am I right in thinking that the infotainment system in the FL is the same as what's in the MG4 Trophy? It certainly looks the same. Reason for asking is that on the MG website tech specs for the 4, they mention "Live services (additional services include Weather, Live Traffic, Amazon Music)"...

One of those few things you never notice when buying a new car until you need them....... Had some big, bulky items in the boot last night that needed securing to stop them moving. Easier said than done with not a single tie down point. An oversight or cost based? Thanks MG but the rest of the...

Our 3 week old Trophy has blown an offside brake light bulb so I need to replace it. Simples really, eh? Here lies the problem - how to access the bulb holder and light cluster. The manual tells you what bulb (have got one) but that's it. Can't see any easy access, like flaps to pull away. Do I...

So my Trophy (and any other MG with the same motor) has 154bhp and 206 lb/ft torque. Are these figures the same regardless of what driving mode you're in - Eco, Comfort or Sport? The only difference I've noticed on the road between the three modes is the sharpness and responsiveness of the loud...

5 Trophy - can you make bluetooth hands free phone calls via the "phone" button on the steering wheel? The owners manual is next to useless in explaining this and many other things lol.

Neighbour's son just turned up in his Kia E-Niro some 20m away from our locked car. Just happened to look out of the lounge window and as he locks his Kia, ours unlocks itself! Ours stays unlocked but then relocks as that's what it should do if no doors are opened. Gave it five minutes and...

Thought my indicator volume was excessively loud until I came across this thread in the MG4 section How do you adjust indicator volume?. FWIW, how many FL 5 owners ever look at the MG4 section of the forum? With regards to the workings of the car, we all know that the FL 5 and the 4 share a lot...

Just picked up our 5 Trophy and is more than we expected. One small issue on the way home from dealers..... DAB signal is fine but on four occasions in 30 minutes, the radio went silent. Then happened to notice that the station had paused itself for no reason. Pressed the pause/play icon and...

Prior to getting our 5 Trophy on 30th December 2022, I've started reading the on-line user manual (written by a 5 year old?). A few questions: 1) Adaptive cruise control - had it before on a Jeep, good idea. But can it be used as a normal CC without the adaptive bit? 2) Does MG Pilot offer a...

New 5 Trophy arrives Friday 30th of this month and the Ohme Home Pro charger goes in the day before. We like the Ohme for it's digital display but to get the best out of it, it needs the car to have API (Applicatioon Progamming Interface) and currently MG, according to Ohme, don't seem to have...
