    Electric Tariff Spreadsheet

    Hi all, My 1st gen smart meter has just been transferred to the database so should now be able to move onto an EV tariff. Just now need to work out if it's worth it. Has anyone made a spreadsheet already to help them calculate their usage? Thanks in advance

    MG5 Standard Range ?

    Thought I would start this as feeling a bit left out by all the long range talk. Owned since October 21 returning about 170-180 miles with mixed driving. GOM says 211 after a full charge.

    First Charge Error

    Well I nipped down to our local Aldi after getting home the 'long way' from picking up the car. Thought I would give the charge a bash while I went in. Hilarity ensued. Hooked up in order and peered through the drivers window and charging was go! Free miles I thought. Went in to get a few...

    Constant “Lane Keeping Assist System Shut Down” pings

    Hi, I’m a new MG5 owner and when I’ve pulled back the Pilot stick twice, I’m constantly getting pings about “Lane Keeping Assist System Shut Down”, and less frequently “MG Pilot System Shut Down”. I have these all turned on in the Car menu - is this normal behaviour or is something faulty?

    Direct Solar PV to HV charging?

    I have a spare 10-panel array of solar panels that in series will give approx 360v DC / 2700w maximum output in direct sunlight. I'm looking into using them for a stand-alone solar charging system but it seems pretty inefficient (and expensive!) to use storage batteries and inverters as there...

    MG5 Rear Seats folding flat

    Rear seats when folded sits at almost a 45 degree angle. Any auto interior experts here who can suggest how to make the seats fold flat. If it can be done, the load space would increase drastically. This would really help. Pleased to hear. Thank you.
