    EV Charger Home Install

    Hi everyone, I placed an order early November for a MG5 and it's due to arrive by March. I am in the process of finding an electrician to do the home charger install and wondering if someone could check the quote below and confirm whether this is a reasonable price or not. Due to my fairly...

    Thoughts after a couple of weeks (spoiler: she's a keeper)

    I picked my ex-demo S(tandard)R(ange) exclusive in piccadilly blue a couple of weeks ago. I've mainly been charging at a local rapid after work, sitting in the car with the heater on. I'm in the extreme north of Scotland - Shetland to be exact and temps this last while have been -1 to 3 °c or...

    Bumper scratch scuff and mess

    ? my other half reversed into our narrow drive and swung the front bumper into a mud bank, kept going and cut a big black line along the side and round to the front of my nice clean white bumper! Big black line surrounded by big scuff marks all over a variable thickness curved nicely around the...

    Recent owners and MG service plan?

    We've had discussion here on whether it is a good thing or not, but I picked mine up on Friday and was told that the official MG service plan is no more, it is gone. The dealer expected there would be a replacement, either from themselves or from MG. Anyone else heard this? I'm not bothered...

    Type 2 cables... stock?

    Picked up our 5LR Exclusive last week. Bought through Affinity, ordered Oct 16th. Our dealer (Bath MG) told us Type 2 cables were included in the Affinity scheme, but that they had no stock. Anyone else experienced this? Anyone have any idea when stock might trickle through? Charging on the...

    First trip well out of range!

    Howdy, just thought I would share our experience of our trip to the North East last week. This was our first trip that we would need to rely on rapid chargers and local infrastructure. Our destination in Northumberland was about 260 miles from home, our aim was to stop twice in the way up and...

    Playing media via bluetooth (android)

    Hi all, Quick question about the above, if I may... I've got my phone (Pixel 4a 5G / Android 12) paired to my car no problem. However, until I open a music app on the phone (eg YouTube Music) and start playing it, the infotainment centre doesn't seem to know how to start music playing. It just...

    In car entertainment while charging

    No, not that....get your minds out of the gutter! :D I did my first charge today, away from home. After browsing the Christmas market for 5 minutes I sat back inside. With the car 'on' but not 'ready' (yellow light on the start button), the infotainment system would work but would shut down...

    250 miles.... NOT!

    Hi, I'm new to ev's, I bought an MG5 ev long range 1 week ago. I do like the car but I'm finding the 250 mile range very hard to believe. I'm driving in eco mode with the kers set to 3, no heating on and not doing over 60, I've just driven 64.2 miles and it's on 69% from 100% and according to...

    How do we suggest updates and fixes to MG? 80% charging restriction!

    Hi folks. After the success of getting the KERS 3/brake light problem addressed by MG, how was that issue presented to MG? On the MG website, it’s recommended that the car is generally charged to 80% and yet there’s no way of restricting charge to 80% without making calculations to stop the...
