    Mg5 Rear Window

    I have a 3½ year old MG5. The rear window has started to blister in parts showing small round 'bubbles' over the window. Has any one else had this problem and would it be covered by the 7 year warranty? Advice would be appreciated.

    Gridserve app summer discount.

    I'm surprised this hasn't been mentioned, or at least I haven't seen it on this forum yet :) Gridserve have launched their own charging app. Now a lot of us can get quite annoyed about the need for apps but when you install this one it offers a 20% discount off 'pump' prices until the end of...

    2021 MG5 long range exclusive with worn Start button label - how do I take it off to fit Ali-Express-supplied new one?

    My START STOP button is grotty! I bought replacements from Ali-Express, see below. My car is blue but I fancy the red button with a red or blue trim. They look like printed aluminium. Has anyone taken off the old one? Does the START STOP button simply pull out somehow...

    Replacing 12V Battery

    After a couple of times recently when attempting to start the car showed the ‘HV Battery Shutdown message’ I noticed the 12V battery was showing about 11.8V. I popped my booster pack on and it started instantly - once started, the dash showed 14.6V for the battery. So, I suspect my 12V battery...

    Which charging cable?

    As a result of an irritating layout of parking, I had to get a 10 metre CCS charging cable for the MG5. Which is fine: the dealer supplied one. It works. However, I'd like a shorter one to travel with, as I reckon I'll be able to 'nose-in' to public 'low-speed' chargers - the 10 metre one is...

    Turning off the car-alarm for travel on ferries

    I use car-ferries relatively often, and some operators request that people deactivate the theft-alarm because the vibration (on high-speed ferries) and wave motion (on traditional ferries) can trigger the alarms continually, flattening the car's 12V batteries, and making the car-deck(s) rather...

    High Voltage (HV) Battery - Best Charging Practice?

    There's an informative thread over in the MG4 section about Balance Charging: https://www.mgevs.com/threads/balance-charging-a-few-questions.14135/ My question, born of ignorance, is whether there are any 'Best Practice' documented procedures for keeping the HV battery in good shape? In my...

    MG Pilot Speed Limiter defaults to 'off' at every car 'Start'/'Ready' power on

    This might be a daft question, but on my MG5, the MG Pilot Speed Limiter turns itself off every time the car is powered off. This means that at the start of each trip, I have to go into the Vehicle settings and set it back on. Every. Time. And it is not a setting that is accessible whilst...

    Warning for us Supercharging MG5 owners - always use the Tesla Supercharger app!

    This came up on a private forum so I have copied it here as I cannot link to it. As I am not sure that MG5s or other models have the ability to stop a DC charge from the car - I always stop it at the charger or app - it could be a real issue for us. It talks about problems with BMW i3 but has...

    Quirks of the MG5

    Hi guys I've now owned my 2021 MG5 PFL LR for a couple of weeks and driven almost 1000 miles so have noticed some oddities and thought it would be fun to start a thread to talk about the quirks of the car. This is not a complaints thread, I love the car and no car is perfect, all have things...
