    Actually this has annoyed me for about 4 years (18 months with MG5). I could never find a setting to dim the satnav screen (android) at night). Every time I went out for a drive at night the android screen was obviously too bright and was burning my retinas out. I could never, ever find the...

    MG5 motor fault - is this common?

    I purchased a 2022, low mileage MG5 on Saturday 11 October. After only a few days' use, the electric motor cut out without warning immediately after I had pulled out of my drive onto the road, with the dash displaying the message "Motor fault". After maybe 10 seconds this message changed to...

    How hard can it be to get a new 12v battery fitted?

    Harder than it used to be, it seems! I went to my local Halfords store, as I could get free fitting. All ordered and booked, no problem. Then when they saw the car they said they're not allowed to work electric cars, as they have to be specially trained, because they're interfering with...

    Reduction Gearbox Oil Notes

    Reduction gearbox oil seems to be an illusive topic on the MG5. Mine wasn't changed at the 4th year service, even after specifically asking for it. Several other posts suggest dealers often don't change it. Allegedly, it should be done after 4years/60k miles. The reduction gearbox seems to have...
