    We don't have the computer you'd have to go to...

    Took my MG5 in for it's service, asked if they could check for software updates, was told "we don't have the computer here, you'd have to go to <other location> for that" This is from an MG dealer :oops:

    MG Assist / AA app

    Does anyone know if you can use the AA cover from MG assist through the AA app? I've let my personal AA membership expire now and am wondering how I get to see the details of the MG cover.

    Finding Service history

    Hi, I’m now in to 2 weeks of PFL or Mk1 MG5 ownership. The car was first registered in 2022, so will have first MOT later in 2025. However when I bought the car there was no service history documentation that I could find (have emailed the dealership and await a response). A driver of another...

    How's speedo accuracy?

    Hi all, just musing whilst I wait for my car to arrive. How's the speedometer for accuracy on the MG5? Our current LEAF always over reads by 10% by design!

    Knocking/grinding noise on very gentle acceleration or feathering the throttle

    New issue - a rather disconcerting knocking/grinding from the front (possibly passenger) side when applying the lightest of acceleration. Disappears when you increase acceleration or decelerate. Got my first MOT in a few weeks, so has anyone else had this?

    Just joined the clan... ;)

    Well it looks like I'm about to become an MG5 owner! My attention got caught by the current large discounts on offer so I went along and had a haggle with our local dealership, the end result being I bought a new Trophy in Cosmic silver for £21k. Should be with me in around 2 weeks. I look...

    Archived MG5 spare wheel & new tyre

    I bought it from someone here when I bought the pre-facelift MG5 and it has never been used. It fits in the spare wheel well. I've no idea if it will fit the new MG5 I am collecting next week but I no longer need it. It isn't MG but is, I think, a Volkswagen/Audi part but I was assured it will...

    Would anyone be interested in a wheel swap?

    I'm thinking about getting a new MG5 Trophy, but don't like the wheels. Would anyone with a nearly new SE with unmarked wheels be interested in a free Trophy wheel upgrade by swapping wheels with myself if I get one? You would need to be within a reasonable driving distance of DN37, and I'd...

    Auto hold failure

    Out of the blue (or red), a warning light came on my 70 plate MG5 stating Auto hold failure whilst driving. Didn't think any more as it didn't affect the drive until I slowed down below 5mph and then the handbrake initiated abruptly I was in rush hour traffic so the last 10 mins were horrendous...

    Granny charger

    More questions. If I'm away at Daughter's and need to use Granny from a socket what is the best course of action to stop the plug getting to hot etc. Charge for 2 to 3 hours then leave an hour? and restart and do same? Will it affect the battery to do this? Charge overnight for 8-10 hours. I...

    MG5 keys - one or two key blades?

    My MG5 has two keys, but only one has the key blade. I assumed the other one had dropped out without me noticing. I had the car in for a service last week and asked them to order a spare. This seems to be a convoluted process but what surprised me was that the dealer said the cars only come with...

    Alloys flaking and going black from the inner side - think MG will warranty it?

    As the title says, the alloys are in pretty bad condition and are flaking from the inside out - think MG will warranty or shall I run them until MOT says I no longer can? I've not curbed them/etc they just look like poor dip quality from the factory if I'm being honest.

  18. Mode switch not working

    Noticed the last few drives that I can’t select Sport. Am able to select Eco but once in Eco I can’t change back to normal. Is there a way to reset the car or something or should I take it to the dealer to look at? (24 plate 5 SE)

    Tyre Rotation and jacking points

    My FL has done 20,000 miles and the fronts look a little worn at the edges bus still have lots of like left in them. The rears look almost new. So, I'm thinking of swapping fronts to backs. I have a small trolley jack and some axle stands. Is there anything I should be especially wary of if I do...
