    Hamster Baskets! A custom made car dog cage from Hamster Baskets!

    I have just collected our custom made dog cage for our MG5 LR from Hamster Baskets of Ledbury. They have done a brilliant job of the cage and nothing was too much trouble for them. I would highly recommend them!

    EU Site Full Spec - but only MG iSmart Lite in MG5

    Once again apologies if you've already been there, I started off looking for ZS wheels but in reading the full specs for the European edition of the 5 noticed that it has MGiSmart Lite as opposed to the ZS having the full Monty. The difference is, for the 5, no Route Planner or FOTA (Firmware...

    Swedish look at facelift models

    Maybe not of a lot of use unless you speak the language but I think my decision is now close to being made... MG5 from about 3minutes 40 seconds.

    Granny charger supplied with MG5

    Could you guys with a 5 let me know what the granny charger that came with your cars looks like please. I'd like to know if they are all the same. I have a ZS and have designed a wall mount for the granny charger than comes with it, I'd like to design and make one for the 5. Attached is a...

    Curious clock behaviour

    I have just noticed that the clock in my 5 has set itself to be exactly 1 hour slow! Has it pre-empted the switch back to GMT this weekend? Has anyone else noticed this or is it a peculiarity with my car.? There appears no way to adjust the clock (no mention of it in the handbook), so I can't...

    Scheduled Charging on the MG5

    Reading THIS thread got me thinking. I plugged my car in ready for a scheduled 0030-0430 Octopus Go charge last Friday but when I checked the car on Saturday morning, the charge hadn't taken place. Uncertain about the cause, I did some checks during the day on Saturday and everything seemed to...

    Next batch of LR? (UK)

    Placed my order couple weekends ago, with an expected date of late Nov, Dec. Spoke last week and he felt Jan was seemingly more likely... I've indicated that I'm not actually that bothered by paint colour, just LR Exclusive model. Does anyone have any ideas on when the next shipment might hit...

    Type 1 to Type 2 Adaptor

    Hi all My first post. I am due to take ownership of my new MG5 LR in November, having had a Nissan Leaf back in 2017. I went back to ICE vehicles because the Leaf was a little small and the range was a little frustrating for the family. The MG5 seems to answer these problems and the cost was...

    Service plans

    Hi I recently got an mg5 and am looking to arrange a service plan. Mg quoted me just over £1000 for a 5 year plan 12k annual mileage which I thought was very expensive. Do I need to go with dealer or mg to maintain the 7 year warranty? Or can people recommend any good places to go. I live in...

    Instavolt refusing to release cable?

    Had a fairly unpleasant experience this week with a bank of instavolt chargers and wondering if anyone else has had this issue with an MG5 long range? Plugged car in, started charge. After about 10 minutes needed to stop the charge to move the car, but when I pressed stop it stopped charging...

    MG 5 EV boot measurements

    Hi! Does anyone have the boot space measurements for the MG5 EV? Considering buying one and am wondering if a large dog cage will fit. Length , minimum width and height to roof would be great.

    Audi To MG Wheel Cap Conversion.

    I love my MG5 EV, but after a lifetime in motorsport I don't really like the 205 60 16 wheel and tyre arrangement fitted as standard. After a bit of research it seemed that VAG 5x112 wheels would fit and having found a set fitted with 205 50 17s for £100, the seller let me try them on to make...

    Charging in Europe

    2022 LR Battery

    Isn't it a bit odd that the 2022 facelift ZS and the Marvel R are both being launched with 70kwh batteries yet the announcement that the 2022 facelift 5 LR will be in European showrooms in Q1 2022 "initially" with its current 60.1kwh battery then eventually with a lower capacity battery as an...
