    MG5 ACC

    Can this be turned off? I just want standard cruise control. The breaking when a car is in front and the time it takes to realise it has moved over is too slow and I’d rather not use it. Is there a way to use cruise control normally?

    1st Service and Swapping wheels front to back

    can’t believe what I just got quoted: £111 for 1st service for 1hr £111 for reprogramming valve sensor after swapping front wheels to back. That’s just not right - anyone can advise on the wheel sensors? Apparently they need programming after wheels swaps!

    Which charging cable?

    Hi Newbie question: I’ve just bought my MG5 and am loving it. I have ordered a 7kWh home charger but I’m not sure what charging cable to buy. For 99% of the time I will be charging at home, so a 32amp 7kWh cable is fine. But, there will be times when I will need to do a rapid charge if we go...

  5. Indicators in the wing mirrors

    Does the MG5 Excite have indicators in the wing mirrors? I drove an exclusive on the test drive and really liked seeing the edge of the indicators. I can't tell from photos and videos if the Excite has them. And why doesn't the Excite have heated wing mirrors? Very small niggle but it will...

    kWh taken during charge

    Hi, I've asked a local business near mine whether they'd be amenable to me using their charger at a weekend for suitable remuneration. They've said they are, if we can work out a fair price for the charging. Is there anything in the car that reports how many kWhours it has received during a...

    MG5 long range heater

    Hi all I have recently taken delivery of my first ev and loving it I have covered 1100 miles already. My question is does anyone get a burning smell when you have HVAC on? This doesn't happen every time probably about 50%. I turn it off for a while and put it back on and it's ok.

    Charging at home well below 7kwhr

    I have returned from a relatively long journey - round trip Chelmsford to Norwich 165 miles - more of that on another thread later. I am with Octopus Go so have the 5p rate 1230 to 0430. Been charging over night and still on going. Max charge through the cheap time was just over 6KW/hr. Then...

  9. MG5 Range - lower??

    Sorry if this has already been covered, but I cant seem to find anything on the forum. When I picked up the car around 5 months ago, on a full charge, my predicted Range was over 200. Suddenly, when now completing a full charge, I am receiving a predicted range of 178ish. Is this normal? Should...

  10. Podpoint only working when WIFI off

    Hi all, Anybody had any issues with podpoint? I have podpoint installed at my property and to be honest I very rarely use it, as I go into work atleast 3 times a week and charge it there, so I only charge at home when I am desperate. Its been working fine and suddenly, when trying to connect to...

    Washer Fluid Low Level Warning

    I knew the fluid reservoir must be close to needing a top up but I figured I'd wait until it hit the low level warning. Tried the washers today but after a few seconds of use there was nothing coming out. I'd obviously run out and it dawned on me for the very first time since getting the car...

On returning to the car 6 hours later I stopped the charge unhooked the...

    Went outside to an unlocked card and all car windows open

    This morning I went outside and found my MG5 unlocked and all the windows fully down. I specifically remember locking the car last night as there have been a spate of car thefts and people trying cars on our estate. The keys were safely inside the house well away from the drive (I've tried...

    Hi all Haves tried Googling and searching the dirum But can’t quite figure this out. So far as I can tell The MG5 cannot schedule it’s own charges and some have had issues with the charger scheduling charges? Is it now possible to use a charger that can schedule itself without issue?
