    Extra security needed?

    Well folks, my new MG5 Exclusive arrived today so I am officially electrified! Here comes the first question. Hearing all the news articles about key relay theft, is this something that I need to be concerned about? I'm not used to all these gizmos, my previous car was top of the range so it...

    AA Recovery

    I read on the MG website and here that 12 months AA recovery is included from date of first registration. Someone mentioned they had a card in the wallet with the manual. I haven't got one with mine - it was an ex demo car with 490 miles on it - do I need the card if I need to call them, or do I...

    HV Battery Heating

    The manual shows a HV Battery Heater. Unsure the function of this....does it heat the battery when driving? Does it heat the battery when charging? Both can be helpful....for mileage and charging when cold.

    Disappointing car wash

    This morning I gave my car a 5000 mile wash. Really disappointed that when I lifted one of the front wipers it scraped the top edge of the bonnet ? there is now bare metal ? also I’ve noticed how thin the metal panels are, I certainly won’t be leaning on the body work incase it dents it. So far...

    Range and Charge Rate

    Having picked up my MG5 on Saturday, I am not getting the charge rate that I expected. I tried a rapid charge from a 50KW charger and was getting 35KW, and then tried a 175KW charger and the car still only drew 38KW. Both were with the state of charge comfortably below 80% throughout and were...

    7 year Warranty???

    I was looking through the warranty document (as you do) - the headline might be 7 years but there is an awful lot that isn't!

    Rear Bike Carrier

    What options have people come up with for a rear mounted bike carrier on the MG5? We will want to carry 2 bikes not on the roof (to much hassle to lift them up)(and anyway I see we're not supposed to use the rails!). The top of the tailgate door seems to be metal, not plastic like on some cars...

    Did you know that holding the Unlock and Lock on your key fob opens and closes all windows? Any other handy tips about the MG5 ?

    Ending Rapid Charge

    Hi Apologies if this has been answered - I've searched the forum... Just picked up an MG5 and I tried my first rapid charge. The Pulse charger wouldn't respond to the app so I phoned, and a very helpful lady said that there was a communication issue between the app back end and the charger...

    Pleased with my new car

    Car arrived today. I was a bit worried as I wasn't able to take it for a test drive. I had nothing to worry about. It's fantastic. It drives like a high end Audi or BMW. If you're considering buying one, I would say go for it. One of my neighbours and a colleague at work are going to get one...
