    First Drive

    Hi. Thanks for accepting me to the forum. I have a test drive of an MG5 tomorrow morning - my first ever in an EV. I currently drive a Kia Sorento, driving 42 miles to work and back each day, spending over £80 a week in diesel! This cost as well as the CO2 mean I really want to make the...

    Headlights

    Car went in to garage yesterday as it still fails to distinguish between night and day, meaning the main headlights are always on. The garage have tested everything but can find no fault. We now await a response from mg in china. Fingers crossed.

    Navigation - voice volume issue

    Not that long having moved house, I'm still getting used to the area and therefore relying on satnav quite often. On a couple of occasions I have realised that the voice guidance has disappeared. Has anyone else had that issue? Going into nav settings the first time it happened, I discovered...

    Mg5 Tailgate lock

    My new 5 tailgate lock release on the key doesn't work. Everything is OK if I unlock the car fully (ie the tailgate will open), but the tailgate lock on its own doesn't work. I have had the car only a few days, and it did work when I received it. Has anyone had the same problem? I shall notify...

    Missing stuff

    Low speed warning noise (for pedestrians) - I don't think the MG5 has it, at least I seem to keep finding people stepping out in front of me as if they can't hear me coming. I've not yet seen an indication on the dash display that the lights are on when they are in auto (maybe I just missed...

    Wheel bolt conversion Kit

    For those who arent aware the mg 5 has wheel bolts which is really annoying when you need to change Tyre. The solution? Conversion kits. BMWs do it all the time. Now heres the kicker I need some help with getting I kit I cant figure out if it's a m14 *1.25 thread or a 1. 5 thread. Any help...

    Narrowboat

    We've been cruising the canal on a narrowboat for 2 weeks and just returned to the MG5, parked at the marina. We got in and set off for home and both commented - what a lovely car this is! Comfortable, quick, and faultless. That's all!

    MG5 DashCam Wiring

    To access the fuse box, the owners manual states: Remove the driver side dashboard end cover plate and lower trim panel to access the fuse box. I'm not seeing anything that looks as if it's meant to be easily removed. Has anyone had the end cover off and did it move willingly?

    Fitting mud flaps

    Rightly or wrongly I’ve decided to fit the MG5 mud flaps myself and save on labour costs the holes line up with fittings on the arch liner but the instructions seem to suggest you need to drill holes. And use self tapping screws provided. Has any one got a photo of the fronts fitted. So I can...

    Picking up MG5 Later This Morning

    Hi all, first post after reading this forum for a few days. Took an MG5 for a test drive last Monday. Was so smitten, I immediately ordered one when I returned the demo car. I went for the red Exclusive. I pick it up at 11am this morning and frankly, I'm feeling like a kid on Christmas...

    Playing music from USB sticks

    Hi everyone, I had my first drive of an EV this evening - an MG5 Exclusive - and I absolutely loved it! I have a couple of questions, if I may. One the dealer says he'll get back to me on, and one I forgot to ask: 1) Can MP3 files be played through the infotainment system? From other threads...

    Problem getting my new MG5 registered

    I have bought a new MG5 and was due to pick it up last Monday. However, the dealer couldn't register it. There appears to be a computer glitch somewhere in the MG/DVLA system which is preventing registration. Does anybody know if other dealers are having the same problem....??? This is very...

    2000 mile road trip

    Just completed a 2000 mile road trip. Was a bit nervous as I am an EV newbie and had never done any journeys that required me to charge away from home. The trip was from our home to Orkney and back with a stopover in Stirling and Edinburgh. The car performed very well with 2 adults, a lanky...

    Service history videos

    Does the service check list show a visual inspection of the underside for corrosion? Surely a brief video of the underside would only take a few minutes and could be stored with the other service data. This would give peace of mind to the customers. In fact, why not video the whole service...
