    MG5 - No airbag deactivation switch

    [ Moderator: the location is given in this and the following posts. ] Hi, Just collected my new MG5 the other day. I looked in all the usual places for the 'advertised' front passenger airbag deactivation switch but without any luck. The manual didnt mention it either. An email from MG...

    MG5 Unlocking during charge not releasing connector

    First attempt at using a Pod Point Tesco charger today. Charging started OK with app confirmation. Returning to the car, unlocking, the charge did not terminate, and nor did the charge connector unlock at either the car or the Pod Point ends. The car even let me enter ready mode and reverse...

    Charger type to avoid.

    This is a very old model charger and 90% unlikely to charge your mg5. There's a communications? issue where it does not see the ccs plug as locked in place, so it will not allow a charge to start. These are dotted about all over Scotland, and some do work, like the middle one of three at broxden...

    Going forward in reverse

    Had a strange one today, was parked in a car park, nose in while charging. Stopped the charge, got back in the car and selected reverse. The camera came on etc but on releasing the footbrake the car moved forward. I tried reselecting park and tried again, still went forward. Even in neutral...

    Throttle control instead of cruise control.

    Whilst driving on motorways, I often use cruise control. But I think I’d like to be able to set the power use instead. For instance, set the power at 10, if I’m at a speed I’m happy with, then I’ll obviously go a bit slower up hill and faster downhill. I’d also like to be able to set it to zero...

    Charging whilst unlocked

    Hi all I’m probably being stupid but I’m trying to use a smart charger with our MG ZS 70 plate and I can’t work out how to charge the car without locking the car first, is there a way? TIA

    12 volt battery problems

    I was charging yesterday at a rapid charger. It got to 94% and then realised I was going no higher. The charger had stopped and unlocked the lead. I thought nothing of it but the car would then not restart. Tried switching it on and off a few times then realised that the 12 Volt battery was...

    Melted passenger seat

    I cleared my Mg5 exclusive out to find the the passenger seat had melted. I'm guessing the the recent heat wave and having a bottle of water in the car has caused it, but I'm not really sure what to do about it. Can we buy the seat base on its own? Should just ask MG about fixing it or straight...

  11. Roof rails (again)

    Looking at the specs on the long range MG5 the roof rails have a 75kg weight limit. Has anyone seen if the high range MG has different high weight rails?

    Charging Routine

    Had the car for a month now and I don't think the state of charge has ever dropped below 80%. I'm not doing any long journeys so do you think it would be better for the battery if I ran it down and maintained it a much lower state of charge? I'm only using the Granny at the moment so charging...

    Motorway KERS level

    I’ve read a lot of conflicting statements regarding the best KERS level for motorway driving, some say that have it in KERS 1 and release the accelerator early and take the longer KERS regeneration and other state have it at 3 and take the stronger regeneration, what’s everyone’s thoughts on this ?

    Rear Bumper Protector

    Hi, has anyone found a good alternative to the rear bumper protector that MG offer? From memory the official one costs £109 which is a tad dear for a bit of plastic.

    Rapid Charging Speed

    I'm interested in knowing what charging rate people have observed at service stations and the like? MG claim that the MG5 can charge at up to 80kW. I've had my MG5 for a few months now, and when taking some long range trips that involved charging stops along the way, I've had the car charging...

    Android auto...now working perfectly.

    After weeks of intermittent Android Auto connections and drop outs I've finally solved it..... I changed cables (many of them) , no effect. I went into developer settings on the phone and changed USB settings, no effect. And then yesterday all of a sudden it started working perfectly every time...
