    Brake squeal when reversing?

    I am experiencing a piercing squeal when reversing, from the o/s rear wheel. Has anyone else experienced this or am I a one off? Only done 600 miles since buying as I was fed up of getting my spanners out. Time to dust them off again?

    Doorlocks with a life of their own

    I have a problem with my doorlocks on my MG5 Excite. When I have been for a drive and park up and switch off, the passenger doors stay locked but the drivers door and tailgate are unlocked. When I lock the car using the key remote, the drivers door locks and the passenger doors unlock - when the...

    Phone GPS poor reception in car

    I've noticed that my phone GPS barely works inside the car. Very poor signal, just about tracks if you hold it up against windscreen (as a passenger, obviously), but sitting in the passenger seat it barely works. In previous ICE car (also made of metal plastic and glass) it worked fine. Has...

  7. Not getting extra range in town driving

    I think I have read enough.

    After all the reading I have done on here with regards to failures, charging issues, roof rails, wind noise etc. I think I will pass on the MG5. I will look in every now and again to see how things are progressing but I don't think the rough edges have been smoothed off enough for me to buy...

    MG5EV Wind noise on drivers side at 70 mph

    I love my MG5EV but there is a very annoying wind noise which appears to come through the drivers window as soon as you got 70mph. I have taken the car into the garage twice and they agree the noise is there but cannot find the reason for it. Yesterday I was told that they tested another...

    Living on the edge ?

    Something quite satisfying getting home when you are 85 miles from home and you have a constant 15 mile difference between the GOM range and distance left on the sat nav and you get home with 6% left ?? driving at a steady pace too.

    Does 12V battery charge whilst charging HV battery?

    I recently tried my first public charge at a PodPoint charger and that worked fine (especially as it was free!). However when I set off I noticed the 12V battery voltage was down to 12.2V. I had been listening to the radio with air-con turned off. I tested this at home the next day, charging...

    London Congestion Zone

    I recently went into central London in my MG5. Before going (unusually for me) I decided to check the rules on the congestion zone. I updated my account to reflect my new MG5 and was really surprised to find that I was required to pay the congestion charge for the car. Seems as if you have to...
