  1. Access to internal fuse box

    The handbook refers to "remove the dashboard end cover plate and lower trim panel" Removing the panel reveals two screws holding the trim panel clips but even though I have taken them out and releasing the clips allows no real movement of the trim panel. How do you access the fuse panel?

    Latest software version?

    Just out of interest what is the latest software update for the MG5? I took my MG5 SR in today for the recall KERS3 issue and want sure what version i'm meant to be looking at in the settings and whether it updates anything else or was it purely for that?

    MG5 Compatible Trans K9 Double Dog Crate - install success!

    Hi, Thought I’d share with MG5 owners wishing to have a double dog crate installed. I had a friend who donated their spare Trans K9 double crate to me, to see whether it will work in the MG5.

    Auto main beam

    Hi, Got a quick question about auto main (high) beam. I've got mine enabled, and it's working well. However there are some times when I'd dip my lights when the car doesn't spot the need to (eg another vehicle approaching a T-junction perpendicular to me). I can cancel the main beam by either...

    MG5 vs MGZS

    Popped the5 into dealer this morning for kers update and took out the new ZS. Not impressed enough to get me out of the 5. If the 5 had led lights and all round cameras it would be perfect. Found the ZS didn't ride the bumps as nice as the 5 and didn't feel as quick either Did love the big...

    1st January Price Increase

    With the price of used cars hitting record highs, and new car prices staying where they were, I don't think anyone will be surprised to see that manufacturers are planning a 1st January price increase.

    Hi all. 500 miles in and loving my SR. I know there are various KERS related posts but was there a definitive view specifically around the best (i.e. most economical) setting on motorways and fast flowing duel carriageways? My new job in January involves an 88 mile round trip mostly on such...
