    Will this fit my MG5LR?

    Can anyone tell me if this size will fit my MG5LR? Rover 75 / MG ZT 16” Viking Alloy Wheel And 215/55 r16 Dunlop Tyre 7mm Approx The tyre size seems OK but is the “lug distance” compatible? (I think that is the critical factor). Thanks!

    Emergency - stranded in France

    Hi all, Today we were at the Calais Euro Tunnel terminal and needed a small charge before boarding the train. Upon connecting the charger, no charge was made and after disconnecting the cable the car would not start. We have a MG 5 standard range. We get the following messages. Autohold fail...

    Is the ZS worth the wait??

    Hi, I currently have a ZS LR on order. Given the fact that the deliveries keep getting pushed and I have an option of a MG5 LR arriving end of month, would current owners of the 5 think that the ZS would be worth the wait and extra £££ over the 5? In many ways I think I have waited 4 months but...

    Hi we are looking at buying an MG5 as our second EV in the next few weeks and have the choice of a silver or blue....any reason other than looks to help us decide on our new wheels? Currently leaning towards the blue : )

    Battery Heating

    Maybe a silly question but I can’t find the answer in the manual. What is the battery heating function for and when is it used? Thanks from a newbie EV owner.

    Type 2 cable supplied?

    Who got a type 2 lead with their car? I was told MG had stopped supplying the type 2 charging cable and I only got the 13A cable with my MG5. Is this correct or was my dealer just ripping me of as they did with the GardX paint protection?

    Travel to The French Alps

    We’re going skiing in the French Alps in March. Having only had my MG5 EV LR for a few weeks I’m dubious about a journey like that. Has anyone had any experience of traveling over 600 miles in France with their MG (or indeed any other EV) Thanjs

    Searching the East Asia for accessories.

    I have found that the search terms of Roeway and Rongwei (ei5 or i5) bring up bits an pieces that might fit our lovely MG5's. For example, who feels the MG5 is missing a front lip? There's even one with a red accent for those who paid out the extra for the tri-coat paint.

    Manually releasing the charging port lock

    So I just finished charging my MG5 SR and the cable was stuck in the front of the car. Came back in to check the manual and it says to remove the front compartment decorative cover - does that mean the whole top tray? If so not sure what I’d have done if I was away from home without my tools...

    Wipers auto?

    Anyone else think that the auto wipers are actually not very auto at all? On intermittent, they're intermittent, Turn the little ring thingy for auto rain sensitivity and they're just on, none of the three settings seem to make a difference, all the auto setting does is make the wipers come on...

    So how do I switch off the radio?

    This is silly, but quite annoying. I've just bought a second-hand MG5 SR and I'm enjoying it very much. But one thing is annoying me. When I turn on the car, the radio goes on. I don't want the radio on. I don't want any media system playing unless I ask for it. I can switch it off by switching...

    Music display on Drivers console

    Hi all. I was scouring the web for Roewe Ei5, MG EP and MG5 and came across this shot of the drivers dials. I noticed a music symbol on the icons at the top (highlighted). Anyone have any idea how to add that to the UK MG5 ?
