    Burning smell through heater

    Has anyone noticed an electrical burning smell when the blower is on? For me, it's just after startup and lasts for much less than a minute. Everything works OK as far as I can tell. Car is a Exclusive LR about 4 weeks old with less than 500 miles, and it's only just started doing it. Just...

    How do you turn off the heating

    This is probably dead easy and I'm just being daft...but the manual isn't really clear. How do you turn off the heating and AC so it's not drawing power, but leave the fan on and not have the air recirculating. When I press the power button to turn it off, it switches to recirculation mode and...

    MG5 vs ZS EV

    Debating between the two and wondered if any current owners had done similar comparisons to share experience. Initially I was drawn to the MG5 2022 facelift but (despite the higher list price) the ZS is cheaper to lease (assuming better residuals predicted) One factor I’m trying to understand...

    How to tell if update is applied

    I picked up our 5lr today and I have to say it's good. I asked the dealer if the recall update had been done but got a rather noncommittal answer. So how do I check if this has been done? When in KERS 3 the high level brake light does not come on when lifting off but does when I brake normally.

    Question for Long Range MG5 EV owners!

    I just upgraded from a standard to a Long Range MG5 EV and the extra range, boot upgrade and added technology (MG Pilot, Lane Assist etc.) are all nice additions. My query is that when I rang up to insure it, the database listed it as an "MG-MOTOR UK MG5 EXCLUSIVE 52KWH AUTO" when it is clearly...

    Automatic car wash

    Has anyone used one of these on a MG5? I usually take our other car to one at the petrol station but a bit hesitant with the MG5, as it makes tin sort of noise even when rain drops fall, so not sure what sort of effect the rollers thrashing against the 5 would have. I guess the panels are...

    Terrible default Tyres

    So after nearly a year of owning the MG5 I'm sick of wheel spinning so changing my hardly worn tyres for some with far better grip. Anyone else changed theirs? I hope it makes a difference.

    Ground Clearance & underside protection.

    There's a post on here somewhere with a picture of them jacking up their 5EV, to change a wheel, where you can see a silver looking box on the underside which I suppose is the battery housing. The ground clearance doesn't look much and makes me wonder how vulnerable is the underside. There are a...

    12V socket rating

    Hi, I'm looking for a temporary solution to prevent me getting stuck with a fogged/iced up windscreen while my heater is borked. There are various 'cigarette socket' heaters on amazon etc, which generally have terrible reviews but might just get me out of a tight spot. The bigger problem...

    Tempted with the KIA EV6

    So I've enjoyed my MG5 and I can trade it in more than I paid so I'm tempted to get the KIA EV6 and just splash out. All the reviews say its the best EV out there and doesn't cost the earth. Any thoughts? I was looking at the Marvel R but if that's going to be 35k plus I'd prefer to spend...

    Does your car stay wet overnight!

    It rained heavily last night and our car was covered in water droplets and rivulets this morning. By 10 o'clock all the other cars nearby were more or less dry but no change with the 5. I polished the car with quality Autoglym in September and this really does cause water to bead up so that...

    Car wouldn't start

    Had my MG5-ev for 3 months now and went to start the car yesterday and it wouldn't run! Had done all the procedures, foot on brake, press start etc and system all booted up OK, however when I pressed the accelerator nothing happened. Switched everything off and started again, and this time I...

    Hi All, I ordered an MG5 LR excite in October and was originally told it would arrive in January or February. I rang up today to check on progress and now being told it's going to be April! I can't wait for it to arrive as I really want to move away from ICE cars. Is this date likely to move...

    Electric car ( MG5 LR ) vs "The Train".

    Interesting comparison based on time and cost to carry out this long range trip. The cost implications are HUGE !.

    MG5 + ABRP + ODB Dongle

    Am I right in thinking that if I purchase an ODB dongle and set that up then ABRP will be able to pull live battery stats and have better routing to charge points etc when travelling? Not that I really do that long a journey but on the rare occasions it would be good to know.
