    Podpoint scheduled charging

    Evening all, noticed on the podpoint app you can now do scheduling. Does this work with the mg5 as I tend to get back around 8pm and plug it straight in, although my cheaper rate starts at midnight. Would be useful to know if anyone had tried. I'll give it a go tomorrow evening if I remember

    Wheel Alignment?

    Has anyone had one done? Also does anyone know if the 5 only can have the fronts aligned or is it 4-wheel alignment? I drove a Vauxhall MPV over the weekend and compared to it the 5's stearing feels strange (well imprecise), so I'm thinking of getting it looked. Thanks

    Even though I do love my MG5, I cannot get rid of that bitter taste that I could have had a MG5 LR and everything else that it comes with for the same money. If there are others owners of MG5 1st edition, please share your thoughts and feelings.
