    Sat Nav advice

    I love Sat Nav on cars and use it all the time. The system on my MG5LR is not the best - lots of information but I find fiddly to use, but I will persevere. But can anyone tell me how I zoom out so I can see the next junction? I know I can move my fingers across the screen but this then moves to...

    Another first long drive report!

    ust done my first longish drive in the MG5 long range. Birmingham to Harlow, M6,A14, M11. Cruise control set at 65mph and flowing traffic all the way. Used 73% battery for 128 miles. Got exactly 3m/kw which is reasonable if not outstanding I suppose. Stopped at local BP Pulse rapid charger...

    Increasing in Value ?

    So after 5 months and 3400 miles We Buy Any Car are now offering more for my car than I paid for it. I suspected this could happen after the recent reduction in Plug In Grant and the continued lack of supply but nonetheless it's truly is a 1st for me in 30+ years of car ownership. I bought my...

    MG5 LR vs MG ZS EV First Thoughts

    Hi, I've been reading the posts here for some time but this is my first post. My wife bought a ZS EV Exclusive last October to replace a 17 year old Rover 45. I enjoy driving it so much that I've just leased an MG5 LR Exclusive so we're now an all electric MG family! It's still early days with...

    Auto AC or Manual?

    I never use the auto AC as I generally set the fan speed myself... what do others do? Does auto help with battery range?

    Displayed range at 100% charge

    Hi everyone! Picked up our new MG5 long range a few days ago which we are very happy with. I'm abit confused about the range displayed after charging it up to 100% for the first time last night though. It's displaying the range as 215 miles. Is expecting it to show me 250 miles. Is this due to...

    Insurance cost.

    I'm sure much has been discussed about the cost of insurance, but I couldn't find anything, sorry. I needed an 'any driver over 25' policy in a bit of a hurry and ended up accepting a quote in the region of £750, which seems exorbitant to me, given I am paying £400 for a similar policy on my...
