Well, after being delayed due to Covid, I got some software updates applied to my September 21 MG5LR. Not certain exactly what I got, nothing seemed different with the car so I tried a rapid charger which nearly always fails for me. Result? Fastest rates I’ve had from ChargePlace Scotland so...

I have no interest in, or affiliation with this deal but a friend pointed it out - so figured I'd post it here in case anyone was looking for an MG5 in silver. https://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/new-electric-car-mg-motor-uk-mg5-115kw-exclusive-ev-61kwh-5dr-auto-3940833

Just saw a Twitter thread about EVs such as the Leaf, Mini (& maybe IONIQ 5) having option to select neutral so can be towed to a charge point. What happens to the MG when runs out of charge? Can it be towed and neutral selected or is it effectively stuck in Park?

ABRP is now working with the MG5 OBD connection - been providing some calibration details recently for the MG5LR as it was reporting the SOC from the OBD rather than the value showing on the dashboard. Looks fairly accurate now (occasionally reading 1% less than car display). They still need...

Not sure if this has been posted yet, but Cleevely have posted about a car they've serviced - even more impressive than the 5,000 miles they achieved from one of their converted MG5LRs in just 16 days - this taxi/private hire has done 16,000 in just 5 weeks Going to be worth keeping an eye on...

After this thread in the ZS forum, I’ve had the MG5 connectivity added to ABRP - but didn’t work for me this morning. Can anyone else with a Bluetooth adapter check theirs? My dongle is listed as supported but could still be the issue

Saw this review - some differences in the model shown compared to the UK spec - such as sunroof, passenger sun visor light, rear interior light and the much fabled sunglasses holder!!

Started from Glasgow with 100%, first stop being Southwaite Moto Services, about 100 miles. I’d heard on Zap-Map that 2nd unit was broken but no one there when I arrived so an easy charge. Took to 86% (27.954 kWh @ 30p/kWh => £8.39) and a Tesla driver appeared as I was leaving. Next stop was...

It's a bit dark in the rear of the MG5 - has anyone found a workable solution to rear interior lights? Ideally that doesn't involve cutting a hole in the headlining - I was thinking maybe a wire run from front interior light and something attached near the rear grab handles? Or on the C Pillar...

This years All Season Tyre Test video has been released, and on a 205/55 R16 91V size that's very close to the MG5's 205/60 R16 96V. https://www.tyrereviews.com/Article/2021-Tyre-Reviews-All-Season-Tyre-Test.htm I was tempted by the Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF2 due to their low rolling...

I’m a little confused. When I had my Ford, it was all so clear in the manual All the MG5 manual says is: “Pay attention to the following when using the roof luggage rack: • Fix loads towards the front of the roof as far as possible, and distribute the roof load evenly.” Talk about a woolly...

A couple of failed attempt with ChargePlace Scotland has resulted in this. Guess I sit for 10 minutes and hope it fixes itself. actually - sorted itself after about 3 minutes of waiting!

Doesn't look like too serious a review - currently watching so not sure who the 'winner' is yet

I never use them, in fact replaced them with Osram DRL units on my Ford, but has anyone fitted front fog lights? Guess they could be wired to work on the rear fog light switch? https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4001295121118.html Additional picture of saloon but front end looks the same -...
