    still waiting for my delivery so apologies again if stupid questions (LR exclusive on order which has keyless entry) I've never had keyless entry and wouldn't have chosen it (but I wanted the exclusive other options) due to the general security concerns, never seen the hardship of pressing one...

    Rear Seat Removal

    Saw this video on the ZS forum but wondered if anyone has tried it on the MG5? Looks like it might be quite helpful if it’s that easy… Andy

    Trying to decide between Ohme and Zappi home chargers for MG5

    I am hoping to go for the Go Faster tariff in November when my British Gas Fixed tariff ends. Can both of these chargers charge on a schedule without issue? Anyone got experience of either they'd be willing to share?

    Hi Everyone, long time lurker, first time posting. So I went to our local dealer this morning for your pre-booked test drive of the new long range MG5.

    Yes or no????

    Hi there, Please be gentle with my nervous noob question?… I have a trip to the middle of London coming up (I live in Cornwall - just) which is about 220 miles each way. As the MG5 is VERY new to me should I risk taking it or take the wife’s gas guzzler? Concerns - availability of charge...

    MG EV5 Long Range and Roof Rack Range

    Hi, I’m looking to buy the new MG5 EV long range. They quote 250 miles for the 61kwh battery. What sort of miles per kWh could I expect on a motorway doing 65-70mph over long distance in winter and in summer. Is it possible to get 250mile range purely motorway driving do you think in both winter...

    Drive off without key

    So I had to rescue my wife yesterday after she drove off to the allotment without the key... Seems crazy that she could do that. Not sure where the key was when she started the car, but I found it in the back door.

    Start and Stop query ?

    Can anyone help. It seems that 1 press of the start button switches on the auxiliary systems like the radio etc and a 2nd press starts everything, or 1 press on the start with the foot brake applied starts everything. My query is when connecting mobile phones initially (set up bluetooth) I can...
