    Full charge get me only 206 miles

    Just a silly question but for the past 2 weeks when I charged my car and it say 100% fully charged and finished, I get 206 miles only and not 214. Just wondering if it's because of colder weather at night time or maybe a degradation of the battery but the car is only 3 months old. Thank you in...

    MG5 knocking noise from rear

    I have an intermittent knocking noise in my MG5 when going over bumps. From the driver's seat it sounds like it comes from the rear nearside. I tried emptying the boot, taking out the boot cover, checking doors and boot fitment, all to no avail. Today when checking for anything loose, I noticed...

    Week in Devon

    Just back from our holiday in Devon: Firstly as a car - fantastic, did everything we'd want it to. Nice and comfortable for a family of 4, good luggage space.

    Onboard AC charger rate.

    Is the MG5 onboard AC charger the same as the ZS, 6.6kW ? The reason I ask is that, according to my Smart meter monitor, SWMBO's 5 seems to be taking about 0.5kW more when on charge than my ZS. Could the 5 be a 7.2kW ?

    MG5 Exclusive Sunroof?

    I've been looking at reviews that keep mentioning a sunroof in the MG5 Exclusive model. At the dealership I didn't see any models of the MG5 with a sunroof. Are the reviews wrong? I also can't see any mention on the official MG website.

    OSRAM Nightbreaker Laser Installation MG5

    I fitted the uprated headlamps in my MG5 about a week ago and thought it would be a good idea to take a few pics and give some guidance to others planning the same task. First remove the ten plastic bolts/clips holding the top cover. Once the fixings are removed, it's just held in place by...
