    MG4 Roadtrip Scotland

    I'm thinking of taking my MG4 up to Scotland as I've had it over a year and only done 7.5K. I notice we seem to have a lot of Scottish members so was after some advice on where to go for nice driving and great scenery and also where to stay. I was thinking the NC500 but everyone seems to do that...

    One Month of ownership

    Well, I’ve been driving my Pre-FL LR MG5 for a month now. The 3 pin charger is working well and certainly keeps the battery at around 70% easily. I’ve driven nearly 700 miles without an issue. I did get the 70,000 mile service done at a cost of £230.00 which included the replacement of two rear...

    1st big(ish) road trip.

    Brighton area to Liverpool this morning via 2x Tesla Superchargers (Banbury & Stoke). Could have skipped the 2nd one and gone to a local Liverpool charger (Dobbies Speke was back-up plan) but bladder won the race. Anyway...so much cheaper than all other networks and very simple to use, plus...

    The Pointless (?) Journeys Thread

    ERO hadn't been used for a while (last Wednesday I think) so I thought I'd take him for a short spin this afternoon to help charge the 12V battery, and to take the HV battery below 10% so I could do a <10 to 100% and balance charge. So no destination in mind, just driving ... 50 miles later...

    "Connected Not Charging"

    Can anyone suggest what went wrong here, and how to deal with it? l tried multiple public points, 7kW and CCS. No power got through but i got the message "connected not charging". At home, the granny-charger did connect & did charge. What data did not get through? & what can I try next? [ Edit...

    New to EVs And the MG5

    Good evening to all. With used EVs now offering excellent value, I have decided to jump in and bought a 2021 MG5 LR. I’ve been driving it for a couple of days now and certainly enjoying the difference in an EV compared to my previous 3 Series. I am charging it using the 3 pin charger that...

    11kW Charge Hub only 3kW output

    Hi all. We've had a Charge Hub 11kW installed and oddly only getting 3kW when charging regardless of the battery % at the time and the temperature. The car is set to AC Current on the charge options, I'm assuming this means allow the max current available as the other options are 8A and 16A...

    MG4 16 days away = thanks

    Must admit did lose contact with the car, whilst away on holiday (even in UK winter) - but did find everything perfect (incl. HV charge) - many thanks (15k miles in = no issues ).

    Gen 1 more economic than gen 2??

    It seems as if our first gen 1 mgzs with a 42.5 kWh battery was much more economical than our new gen 2 with a larger 50 kWh battery... even in winter I have never experienced such consumption figures with our gen 1... so we have now a slightly larger battery but less range 😔. apparently the...

    Ouch ! M6 Toll gave me a 'present' last night

    Driving up the M6 Toll last night in the dark/rain. Overtook a lorry and just as I pulled back into lane 1 saw something in the road but it was too late. Not sure exactly what it was but on dashcam footage it looks like a suitcase of some description. Damage doesnt look bad from the front but...

    1 week to go - Excited is an understatement.

    My MG4 SE Standard Range in Arctic (Dover White) is only a week away from being delivered from Nathaniel Cars in Bridgend. I am getting quite excited now in as much I nabbed a stock photo to have as my computer wallpaper. I have had excellent communication from them and also from Tusker as the...

    Unsure

    Recently I've bought a new mg5 ev long range due to my old car not conforming to Ulez. The car is lovely driving and extremely roomy and comfortable. I'm still a bit unsure of long journeys with the amount of power, but I'm sure I will get used to it. The thing that is worrying me to the point...

    Thread re charging MG4 SR

    Is there already one? Afternoon all. I’m so confused. How can the SR charge at a 150kw rate in 40 mins ? I don’t understand how when it’s only 50 and 117kw. Does that make sense? Tia
