The guy was helpful however they didn't know what what...

    Home charging point- metal in vicinity

    I can't get a straight answer from Octopus so I am hoping someone here can help. When filling out my application for a home charging unit (MG 5 exclusive LR due to arrive Jan) I came across a question asking me if there is any metal (e.g. outside tap) within 5 metres of the prospective install...

    Rear Interior Light

    It's a bit dark in the rear of the MG5 - has anyone found a workable solution to rear interior lights? Ideally that doesn't involve cutting a hole in the headlining - I was thinking maybe a wire run from front interior light and something attached near the rear grab handles? Or on the C Pillar...

    DAB RADIO

    Hi I have the LR and very happy with it too, apart from the Dab radio. FM stations are perfect but the dab is not, it keeps losing signal so often it is pointless using it, but the stations my wife likes are only on DAB. Pretty sure its not a poor reception area as the ZS does the exact same...

    Anybody looking for a new MG5 LR 'available now'?

    Hi Everyone, If anyone is looking to pick up a brand new MG5 LR, may I recommend Fraser's of Falkirk? They are advertising saying 'available now', which, if accurate, is great news. They are also a very good dealership to deal with, which I am sure many owners on this forum will agree with...

    Has anyone upgraded the headlights on their MG5? They could do with being a bit brighter!

    5LR Exclusive - blind spot warning

    I went for a test drive in the 5 LR Exclusive and noticed that I was not getting any blind spot warnings in the mirrors. I looked in the settings and couldn't even find the rear driving assistance settings. I was under the impression that this model has blind spot warning, it does on my ZS EV...

    Video doing the rounds to update climate control

    Hi all, I wondered if you had seen the video on how to update your ir conditioning control to a climate control reading so you can set an actual temperature. I attach it if I can I wondered if anyone had tried it and how they went on I’m very tempted but scared of messing up something and...

    Relay attacks

    Evening, Can’t find anything specific, but could the 5’s key be picked up by a relay device? I know it’s not a true keyless system as you have to press the door button to lock/unlock, but thinking it may be worth keeping in a faraday bag all the same. Granted it’s not a M3, but I imagine it’s...

    5LR Forward Collision System

    Hi All. Just looking for a bit of advice / experience on how this should work. My system is set to 'Emergency braking'. It has never done this, and I'm not of a mind to drive at something to test it... The manual seems to suggest that you have an alert mode, and an 'Emergency braking...

    Rear Seat Not Engaging

    Hi Everyone Before I take a trip to my local dealer (who I have zero faith in), has anyone had issues with the rear seats not clicking back in place? Specifically, the larger twin seat is proving VERY reluctant to engage with the hook. Have managed so far but only by repeatedly slamming the...

    I just bought the MG5LR and my zappi v1 charger is fitted with the Type 1 plug. I am going to buy a Type 2 plug cable and swap the cables. Did anyone here swap these cables? What type 2 cable can you recommend?
