    Question about range/battery size

    Hi folks, Just got an mg5lr and I'm a complete novice with ev but had a couple quick questions: 1. Is it possible to check the battery capacity or if the car is an long range or standard? The wife charged the car to 96% and the max range showed as 186 miles. Is this a factor of the cold...

    The Mysterious Case of the Disappearing £750!

    I wonder if any others have been caught out by the £750 voucher offered by MG motors this summer? I was told by three separate dealers about the £750 MG voucher that would be applied if I was to test and buy an MG car, which I duly did in August. None of them mentioned the fact that the MG5LR...

    Granny charging - only option - will it be enough?

    Still in process of working towards getting my MG5 LR but I think I've hit a big snag :( Basically my garage, where I thought I would be charging, is away from the house (i.e. not attached or even that near) and almost certainly has the wrong grade cabling + power supply for a home charger...

    Saw this review - some differences in the model shown compared to the UK spec - such as sunroof, passenger sun visor light, rear interior light and the much fabled sunglasses holder!!

    Battery percentage and range not dropping.

    Charged overnight and the battery was 66% when I got in the car in the morning. I've driven 8 miles so far today in 5c temps in a mix of normal and sport mode with the heating on at 24. The battery has remained at 66% and the range hasn't dropped. Is it just being weird post charge last night...

    Physical log book

    Hi So when I collected my MG5 SR I got given the little black leatherette folder with the manuals in, but I didn’t really look at them till I got home. I then realised that there is nowhere to record the services or to confirm the radio code etc. I spoke to the dealer and they said there is no...

    Corrosion Question

    Seeing some prospective purchasers of the facelift ZS expressing concern about underbody corrosion on their current cars got me searching for any such issues with the MG5. Apart from the threads about cavities left empty by unfitted mud flaps, and wheel hubs / copper grease I didn't find...

    MG5 Auto lock

    Just looked at my MG5 manual page 132 and it clearly states that you pull the door handle once to unlock it and again to open it. Tried this on the rear doors and cannot get them to open (I did have the child locks off by the way). Any Ideas, as my wife was locked in the rear of the car...

    Affinity scheme - MG5 LR Excite good price?

    Is this a good deal, £23k for LR MG5 Excite, can't decide whether I need the Exclusive toys or not? Really not fussed about ACC but what else will I miss if I go with 'lower' spec model?
