  1. Traction

    Anyone else find that their front wheels spin on a wet road when accelerating? I’m not a foot to the floor type but when accelerating up a hill in a wet road the wheels spin briefly - it would be great to have a dual motor in these wagons

    Charging query

    Hi. Have now been able to get a wall charger so the search is on for the car (Won't be new). However on reading the manual online it has a bit about charging which I'm confused about or am I being stupid! The first one is about the charging port will lock when the car is locked and if the car...

    Wobbly drivers seat

    My drivers seat has started a very unsettling wobble (front to back not side to side) , as if a screw holding it to the rails has come loose. Anyone got any ideas or seen similar before I get investigating on the weekend?

    Resale Value

    I'm starting to think about the next car so did an online valuation of my three year old MG5 LR Exclusive. I was expecting to see a decent drop, but was taken aback to see that it's worth around £12,000 now. Down from £28,000 when new - ouch... Not great for me if/when I sell, but man - what a...
  7. Phone contacts

    Is there a way to store phone contacts to save having to scroll through the contacts list? It’s quite dangerous having to scroll whilst driving and most other cars I’ve had allow you to set a favourites button. I assume the voice control button on the steering whee is to speak and ask it to...

    3 Year Service - Yay or Nay?

    Hi all. My MG5 is coming up to 3 years old. I've only done 12,500 miles to date - no long trips to France this year! I've done annual servicing and this year MOT is due for the first time. Given that I forked out for a 2 year / 20,000 mile service (fairly major one) last year I am seriously...

    CCS Charging in Europe PFL SR

    I'd be interested to read how other people have gotten on with CCS Charging in Europe in a non updated pre-facelift MG5. I've tried a couple so far, the Super U CCS chargers and the cheapo IECharge network without any success in getting them to connect or charge. I'm guessing it's down to...

    Seatbelt warning.

    In the last week or so, I've been getting loads of random seatbelt warnings on the dash. It appears to believe that there's someone sat in the back with no seatbelt on (first red icon flashing on the dash). The constant pinging is driving me nuts!! There isn't a single thing sat on the seats...

    Tyre pressure monitor

    In the manual it says :- Note: After changing the tyre position or replacing a TPMS sensor and receiver, the vehicle needs to run at a speed of 25mph for about 10 minutes to correctly indicate the tyre pressure value at the corresponding position. Has anyone tried this out? So far I haven't...

    1st long(ish) trip

    Drove 2.5 hours to Centre Parcs for half term family break. Youngest slept most of it. Enjoyed the go when putting foot down, didn't feel the extra weight in the back. Looked like there were plenty of free charging spaces when I arrived but due to me being stingy my type 2 cable hasn't arrived...

    Issues with Aldi charge station

    Wear on Front Tyres at 5500 miles

    I took my Trophy Estate for its first service four days ago with 5521 miles on the odometer. Everything was fine apart from amber warnings for the front tyres which are "beginning to wear on inner edges.". "Outer 5.00mm. Middle 5.0mm. Inner 5.00." The level of wear strikes me as unusual if not...
