Just to briefly say I will be trading in my lovely MG5 pre-facelift Executive this week for different EV. I am getting a Hyundai Kona Ultimate, not brand new, the old shape just over a year old. The reason for this is not because I don't love my 5, I do, it's great and will probably be great...

Having had the car for 2 years and a ZS EV before that for a year I had never used the parking brake switch on either car until this last weekend. :) I had always found the footbrake, Autohold and Park to cover all my needs for holding the car when stopped. However for some reason sat at lights...

The VCU has been mentioned in several threads* recently and that there is an update for it. There are hopes this update will cure all ills. I hadn't got a clue what it was so looked it up and if anyone else is the same boat (or EV) then basically it is the Vehicle Control Unit that communicates...

Nah. :D Started at 100% drove straight through, legs crossed as taking pictures at Norwich Gridserve forecourt.

4 of us, all males, went on a day trip to Leicester from Leeds last week, well how did it go? My son in law had got himself a model 3 in December as his company perk and is thrilled to bits with it so decided he would get us there and back. Including pick ups and drop offs a return journey of...

Just been comparing specs to see what the Trophy has extra to the SE to warrant the extra £2500. Most I can live without but, the auto air conditioning would be a loss as would the auto folding door mirrors. However what I do not like is the fact that the WLTP for the Trophy is now only 235...

Never deny yourself a bit of heating otherwise what's the point ? You must also be one of the few remaining owners that has the Lane Departure Warning enabled. :)

For your own sanity I'd turn off the Lane Keep Assist in the infortainment screen.

Does anyone have the paint codes for the MG5 as I'm looking to get a touch up pen for a tiny mark. My dealer doesn't have any in stock and says can't get any either. On the drivers door mine a Picadilly Blue simply says .... Paint 5JSH. Is that the whole code ? as it is needed for aftermarket...

The scenario: Later this month we are travelling to Southampton area and back from Leeds, a distance each way of approximately 250 miles in a 5LR. Because it's August I expect to have A/C on all the time. Whilst in Southampton I will not be using the car before the return journey. The...

Curious to know what settings people are using for their aircon over this summer. I have seen posts where it has been set to Low, or 16 degrees and think to myself...that's bloody cold. For me In colder weather I set the heater to about 20 or 21 when needed, I find this comfortable. In...

The M62. Had a weekend away and had to traverse that well known nightmare called the M62 with 3 adults and luggage. Journey out 84 miles thanks to google diverting us from the M6 and taking us the shorter but slower route to our destination near Crewe ended up with 4.0m/kWh. Started at 100%...

Is the outgoing MG5 the last of the 'cheap' over 200 miles EVs ? The facelift ZS is more expensive than the Gen 1, which in turn was more expensive than the 5 to start with and I'm sure the facelift 5 will be more expensive than the Mk1 MG5, SR or LR.. I think we all know that we need more EVs...

When I replaced the 'gunk and pump' with a full size spare I discovered that the wheel nut cover removal tool - tweezers - was missing. Could somebody please post a picture of theirs as looking online seems to be more than 1 type, so that I can purchase similar from a cheap online source. Thanks...

Following on from the thread and my post on the ZS forum - any MG5 owner want this ?

I have had constant issues connecting and staying connected to AA. I have bought and used both cheap and expensive cables. In fact I had more success with the cheap (2 for 99p off ebay) than I did with the expensive Anker cable. The phones I have used are all Motorola. Well I was rummaging...

With so much discussion about putting the type 2 under the bonnet, the term Frunk seems to be the commonly used term. Frunk is of course a combined word (a portmanteau) made up of FRont and TrUNK. So how have we come to commonly use the American term Frunk instead of the British equivalent of...

Just changed from the ZS Exclusive to the 5 Exclusive. Now while I like the look of the fake leather/plastic seats, they can be a bit warm in summer. 🌞 I was wondering if anyone looked at or used any on the 5 ? From my dim distant memory of these bought to cover a multitude of horribleness, I...

I went for a test drive in the 5 LR Exclusive and noticed that I was not getting any blind spot warnings in the mirrors. I looked in the settings and couldn't even find the rear driving assistance settings. I was under the impression that this model has blind spot warning, it does on my ZS EV...
