    Starting to lose a bit of faith

    Had the charging problem the other day (see last post) now the infotainment system has decided to give me a blank screen. This is only the second long journey. Think it’s little bit expensive to just use at home! Have we been sold a pup ?

    MG5 Headlight Unit Wiring

    Has anyone got a wiring diagram for the headlight unit or worked out which colour wire does what? I got something from aliexpress but need to know which wires are the indicator, the DRL, the main beam and earth. I guess there is also low beam and the parking light as well.

    My MG5 experience as a family holiday car - London to Somerset

    I made a video about my experience of the MG5 EV as a family car and how it handles a a trip from London to Somerset. My testing is not very scientific, but I hope it demonstrates the MG5 has the range and size to cope with these medium range distances and a stay on a farm in the countryside.

    Driving Characteristics

    Haven't test driven yet so the answer to this isn't obvious to me :) When in Drive, does the car "creep" in the same way an automatic ICE car would or does it remain stationary unless you press the accelerator? If the latter is the case, does the drive motor hold the car stationary even if it is...

    First month

    Hi, I bought my first EV, an MG5 in red, on May 1st from Luscombe's of Leeds. I've been 'calibrating' / assessing 'real world' range to gain confidence. I've now done 850 miles total. My first 2 trips were both 60 mile motorway runs, full fat, everything on at 70mph. That left exactly 20% & 38...

    Affinity Scheme

    Had a chat with my local MG dealer today about the MG Affinity Scheme. This is still running at the moment and he confirmed that I would be eligible as a retired civil servant (wasn't sure about that so the clarification was welcome). The scheme discount brought the price of an Excite down to...

    Run Flat Tires

    Due to the cost of the MG5 spare wheel, I was wondering what people's thoughts would be of fitting run flat tyres as an alternative?

    Car stopped charging overnight

    So I have a wallbox plus. I schedule charge between 12.30am - 4.30am. So I never change the schedule, I just plug it in and it charges overnight on my cheap rate. A couple of times now it's only charged say 5kw when it should have done about 25kw as it was about 50% charged. Not a problem now...

    Gone and done it

    Just place my order for a Picadilly Blue MG5, should be picking it up at end of next week due to me ordering rear tints for glass from rear doors backwards and front parking sensors via the dealer, cannot wait. Had a leaf for a year but needed that little extra mileage. Roll on next week ?

    Rapid charge advice needed

    Hi, I'm going to have to top-up on a long(ish) distance journey this BH weekend. Other than "avoid Genie like the plague" - does anyone have any other advice / info? I've never used a motorway charging point before, I tend to charge slow on either the 3-pin plug or a 7kW charger in work. All...
