    Ready Mode while Charging ?

    I read a post in Facebook MG EV owners that you can put on ready Mode while Charging and listening radio while charging and avoiding that it switches off after 10 minutes but when I read the manual it says that you shouldn't put your car on Ready Mode while Charging, does somebody know more...

    Automatic limiting of overnight charge

    Most of the time we charge the MG5 at night, If the initial SoC is above 50% this often results in the car going to 100% charge. I have read that batteries like these would last significantly longer if this did not happen (except we needed). My charger does not know the state of charge but...

    1100 mile road trip from London to County Down

    Second road trip of the summer, this time to visit my wife's family in Northern Ireland. This involved a drive from London to Cairnryan with a stop off in each direction half way (Preston on the way up and Kendal on the way back). MG5 fully loaded with all sorts of paraphernalia as usual...

    Galvanic Corrosion

    As my MG5 is only a couple of months old I was quite surprised to see how much corrosion there was when I removed the rear wheels (it's nowhere near as bad on the fronts for some reason). This isn't oxidisation of the hub but galvanic corrosion caused by contact between the steel hub and alloy...

    Rear Flexible Brake Pipes

    I had the rear wheels off today and noticed what looks like a piece of poor design. With the suspension hanging, this flexible pipe is being put under an enormous strain. Future point of failure I suspect. The fronts don't have this problem BTW.

    MG5's silent protest against 20MPH speed limits.

    Well, 48 hours and 70 odd miles in, it seems that Ernie (Mg5 LR Exclusive) is indeed the fastest milk cart in the west. So much so, in fact, that he actively protests against what he considers overbearing speed restrictions. I noticed an intermittent failure on the drive home from collecting...

    CarPlay usb lead solution

    I can’t find the original thread but someone was pointing out that a standard usb connector to the CarPlay USB port fouled the smooth closure of the sliding cover. Can confirm that this style works well, doesn’t obstruct the lid closure and at 0.6 m long reach the side pocket into which you can...

    Square number plate

    Wondering if anyone has put a square number plate on the rear? And what size square plate fits if so... Holes in tailgate are pre drilled and clearly designed for a square plate which is why the long standard plates rub the edge of the MG5 badge. Mine also has a black strip screwed over to cover...

    Considering purchasing the MG 5

    Hi everyone, I am the current owner of a 5.5 year old 30kwh Nissan Leaf and am considering a new MG5. I am a teacher so will qualify for the affinity scheme and have found a dealer who is prepared to do business with me. The car seems to tick all the right boxes as regards range and the size of...

    Hill starts.

    Had our MG5 a month now and loving it, however coming from a lifetime of manual transmissions I find the handbook as clear as mud on hill starts and have tried various techniques depending on how long I'm stationary. Does anyone use the Auto Hold function? I tried it once but seemed a bit clunky...

    Heating up the car while still charging

    Afternoon all, I'll soon be taking ownership of an MG5, and I'm trying to find out if its possible to "precondition" the car. I found one other older post on this with conflicting information and seeming no confirmed answer either way, with some saying the charge stops when you open the car...

    Eco/ Normal mode

    Hi All, I had a thought while driving today and wondered what you all think. Many of us will play the game of eking out the best battery performance we can. I don't switch off as many power hungry (comforts) functions as possible, but do enjoy trying to anticipate and drive as smoothly as...

    Hi, just wondering if anyone has had any luck getting roof bars for the excite (which doesn’t have the rails)? I called Halfords but they weren’t able to advise and they gave me the Thule number which I haven’t managed to get through to yet! Any tips/advice would be amazing. Being able to put...

    Satnav issues

    I was driving from Finchampstead to the Madestki stadium in Reading and after taking a turn, the road disapeared in the satnav and it was like I was driving through a field instead of on Observer Way (see attached) though for a while it was showing the road next to it Greensward Lane; once the...
