    New MG 5 exclusive and Ticking noise.

    Hi all, Bought an MG5 long range exclusive, about a month ago. Mainly for the wife who never travels more than 50 miles. Over-all very impressed with driving and comfort. Speed limit sign on dash not entirely accurate. I had a 124mph display in a 30. We did a 150 round trip doing 65 to 70 mph...

    Out of charge / being towed

    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?

  4. Reversing camera display - whats the function of the vehicle silhouette?

    Speed limit detection - Not accurate in Ireland - There a setting for this?

    I find the speed limit detection system works reasonably well in the UK but recently took the car to the Republic of Ireland and it consistantly refused to read the signs correctly. Is there anything I can do to fix this? I had already changed the "units" in the car to km so it wasn't that. Most...

    Battery percentage increasing after charging

    I have noticed a few times that after charging my MG5 LR it sometimes takes 8 miles or even more for the battery percentage to go down a point, and others on the forum had noted this too. However, this afternoon I set off to visit my parents, travelled from just above sea level to the top of the...

    MG5 SR charging display state order.

    I thought I would use the 'granny' to see the different charge states the car displays. At 97% car is 'in charging'. At 100% car has 'finished' charging but not turned off the EVSE so 'not' balanced. When the car is balanced it shows 100% connected 'uncharged' and turns off the EVSE. The car...

    Dead DRL

    One of the DRLs on my 5sr has failed, as far as I can tell it's a integral part of the light cluster, i.e. I cannot see any way to replace the led strip/s. I suppose there's going to be a controller somewhere? Anyone had any experience with this yet? For me this is an academic question, my car...

    Android Auto update

    There is a new version of android auto but I don't see any way to update the MG5 system. Is it an eventual over the air update or is it for after market head units only? Anyone tried it?

    Pls write to Thule asking for MG5 excite roof bars

    Hi All, I have been looking for roof bars that could fit my 2020 MG5 Excite. This would require the kind of "universal" roof bars supplied with clamps that are designed for cars without rails.

    Front Parking Sensors

    Been thinking of fitting some front sensors to my "5" but wondered if anyone has done / had this done and if so what type and how successful was it? I have seen a couple of installs on here but little additional info. Oh and yes if it was just me driving I wouldn't bother ;)
