    TPMS Anomaly

    The car was on charge last night so I powered up and did a quick dashboard check this morning to make sure it had completed successfully. Whilst doing this, I ran through the dash options and my attention was drawn to the TPMS Monitor. You can see from the ambient temperature display (17 Deg C)...

    New longer range MG5

    Heard yesterday about upgrades to the MG5. Looks like a nee front end - more modern EV style. Biggest change is the range which is quoted as 250m useable. And 100kwh charging. I wonder what else? Maybe adaptive cruise, and a few nice options like electric passenger seat, sun roof etc.. My wish...

    3 phase type 2 cable

    So I’m currently looking around for a type 2 cable and was wondering if it’s worth investing in 3 phase cable? Or just go with a 1 phase?

    MG5 Long Range difference in the boot?

    Just spotted some plastic brackets on a new long range MG5 that don’t appear to be on the original MG5. Any ideas what they are considering it doesn’t have an adjustable boot floor? These look like they might get in the way or get broken? The second photo is an Exclusive and I’m sure the...

    Dumb Questions

    So I am loving the car, I just picked it up 2 weeks ago as my company car and just couldn't be happier with it. Trying to max out my miles per kWh is my new favourite game. I'm at 4.5 with a mix of motorway and central London at the moment. So dumb questions reading the manual: It mentions...

    Struggling Aircon

    Is anyone else finding that the MG5 aircon is struggling a bit? I know these are some of the hottest days on record but even on full fan setting, the air-conditioning is taking 10mins to get the car cool enough to be bearable. I also drive a nearly new ICE car (work vehicle) with good aircon...

    Long Range Affinity Price

    Just had a chat with David from the Frasers of Falkirk Dealership. He said the Long Range MG5 will cost very close to £24,500 on the affinity scheme. So approx £2k more than the current model. Can anybody confirm this please? Extra 35 miles of range, stronger roof bars, and MG Pilot for £2k...

    KERS experiment

    Set off earlier in my 5, fresh off the charger and 100% battery. I selected E mode and thought about KERS. Now, I know the 5 doesn't allow one to select KERS 3 until the battery has gone down a bit but all I know is that it's "around 95%" Well, there was me, chugging across Norfolk on country...

    Boot Liner

    Is there a MG 5 EV owner very close or even in Hinckley (Leicestershire) on here? I have a liner for my current car (i40) that I have found to be pretty good from a company called Titan Covers. I spoke to them and they said if I could come along they'd measure up, make the templates then the...

    Official Space Saver Spare

    I bit the bullet today and ordered the official spare wheel package. For those that have also purchased the proper package (part number 10959444) did you manage to negotiate a decent discount on the £249 recommended price? Mine is coming from an MG dealer in Cambridge for £201 delivered but I'm...

    Obscured forward view in Mg5 Exclusive

    I test-drove an MG5 Exclusive yesterday (and was generally very impressed). However, when I sat in the driver's seat, I immediately noticed that the forward view was obscured by a rather large module at the top centre of the windscreen behind the rear view mirror. I didn't think any more about...

    MG5 Software and HV battery disconnected warning

    On two occasions whist static I have had the "HV Battery disconnected" warning illuminate on my MG5. On one occasion I was in the way of other vehicles and had to select N and push the car out of the way. Not great in a 21 reg car. I took my car to the selling dealer they checked that out, along...

    Radio can not be switched off

    I've read that other owners have not been able to switch off the radio and I have experienced the same issue. The dealer suggested pushing the silver button in the centre and just below the infotainment display. This will switch off the infotainment display so that only the time is shown, but...

    Windscreen Wipers

    I bought a new MG5 in June 2021. Normally when I hand wash my cars I lift the wiper arms off the screen, so that I can wash and dry the whole windscreen. When I tried to do this, I realised that the wiper arms foul the edge of the bonnet closest to the windscreen with the risk that the paint on...

    Archived Boot flooring upgrade

    Finally got round to putting an advert for the extra set of boot flooring that I made. As MG5 owners will know MG’s answer to this is thin corrugated plastic, so if you put anything heavy into the boot it normally collapses the flooring into the wheel well. So my answer is a set of birch plywood...
