  3. 3 weeks with MG5 and a couple of questions.

    So I’ve had my 5 for 3 weeks and really pleased with it. Couple of silly questions - what is the difference in Eco, Comfort and Sport modes - I assume sport is more responsive but will use more battery? Can’t tell difference between comfort and Eco. Also when fully charged it shows a range of...

    Put OVMS back in.

    Put the OVMS module back in, it's currently in the void in the centre console sitting on top of whatever ECU/Device sits in there (Didn't seem to bother it last time). Still can't poll when the car is locked without setting off the alarm :( and unless there's a way to disable OBD2 traffic...

    Big wheels or small.....

    So..... I'm about to purchase a new/nearly new car and really want the trophy for the durability of the leather seats, it's going to be a heavily used work vehicle. But......I also could really do with the extra range of the smaller wheel/tyre combo. The dealers seem reluctant to swap them for...

    I've just received my MG5 trophy and have Zappi charger. I was charging using solar energy only and battery on car reached 61% when charging stopped and said syatem is full. I disconnected car and reconnected and charging continued. Any ideas as to why it would have stopped and said syatem full...

    MG5 pre-FL - removing the tailgate trim.

    Hi all, I've just had to contend with the tailgate trim (the interior plastic panel) on my car to replace the number plate bulb on a pre-FL MG5 LR. The manual was pretty useless on this, so I've put together a quick guide to removing the tailgate panel (I couldn't find a good one elsewhere...

    No smartphone for Ohme app

    I have no smartphone but an app to control my Ohme charger is required. Only have a Windows 11 laptop so am stuck. Has anyone an answer for this problem other than to buy a smartphone due to the high cost of smartphones simply to control charging|? There is no smartphone reception in my area.

    MG5 2022 no aircon

    My MG 5 pre face-lift has no aircon. Dealers have looked at it, state all parts working but not talking to each other. Been told waiting for MG technical to get back to them. Looks like a hot summer this year without A.C.

    MG5 door rubbing strips

    Hi everyone. Does anyone know if there's any side rubbing strips/door mouldings available for the MG5? I've got some on the outgoing Sandero and they've been a godsend in car parks to protect the car from damage etc. Many thanks in advance ?

    OBD 2 codes (trouble codes)

    So my new to me mg5 is throwing the attached codes, only as pending and then they will change to archived, no warnings are coming up on the dashboard. Anyone else’s seen this? Should I be worried or is this the jank inherent in the software? Just a touch concerned :) Quick update I ticked...

    Would an MG5 be a good fit for me?

    Hi everyone, I'm coming to the end of the PCP for my (71 reg) Dacia Sandero, which is the bi-fuel model. This really helps me keep costs down, as I do around 18k miles a year for my job. Sadly, it's getting much harder to get hold LPG where I live (and the price has doubled in three years)...

    MG5 Pre-facelift V2L (Diy)

    As we know there's no V2L capability on Pre-lift MG5, so I decided to do a DIY version. The onboard charger is capable of delivering around 170amps to 12V battery, however the charging circuit fuse is 150amps, so we are looking at maximum 2.1kw max. I bought 2kw pure sine wave inverter, as I...

    Uneven Tyre Wear

    My pre FL MG5 is wearing the tyres out very unevenly, the inner tread on both fronts is drastically more worn than the outside tread. Dealer at second service said that this is common on MG5s on both front and back and that tracking is not the cause, although I intend to get my tracking checked...

    Fine Control of Power Windows

    I have difficulty, especially when driving, partly-opening a window. Am I missing a trick that will allow me to stop the window where I want it, e.g. a quarter inch open? Or do others find MG windows are more hit and miss than some other makes?
