    Failed first MOT

    My 72 plate MG5 (pre-facelift) just failed its first MOT on both rear coil springs broken. I know exactly where it happened too - on the road between Longhorsley and the A1 in Northumberland (tried to include a link, but links don't seem to work here). The road bottoms out really sharply there...

    Used MG5 2022 (facelift) LR Luxury - is it a good offer?

    Hello, I have an offer to buy a 2022 MG5 61kwh Luxury (light/gray leather upholstery), with 57,000 miles, priced at €10,700 (£9,200). Unfortunately, there's no warranty because the dealership service appointment hasn't been met. 1) Is this a good offer? 2) What maintenance/expenses will I...

    Why is there not a hybrid version of the MG5?

    Hybrid estate cars are in demand, why is it only electric?

    Archived MG5 LR Exclusive

    Considering buying an MG5 long range to use as a workhorse as I do a fair bit of property maintenance. Not bothered about looks or bodywork as long as it's mechanically and battery in good nick. Been an EV driver since 2016 so know mileage isn't too much of an issue, looking for 80-100k. I'm...

    MG5 2021 ismart

    Hi everyone, I’m wondering if the 2021 MG5 can be connected to the iSmart app. I understand it doesn’t come with a QR code, but is there an aftermarket product or service that would let me monitor the charging status and see how much time is left? Thanks!

    OHME and iSmart

    I have an old OHME charger which I like as it worked well with the Octopus Agile tariff. Then it stopped working, around the time I replaced he MG5 PFL with the MG5 FL. It would get a spinning wheel and not connect, or on the few occasions when it did connect it would appear to take my updated...

    MG LR Park Gear release location

    Hey Guys, So I mad the fatal mistake of letting the main battery (HV) run out on the way to a charger. Note to all.... when the range says 0 miles, it really does mean 0 Miles :LOL: When you run out it looses power to all drive functions including ABS, Gear selection and so on. It does let you...

    Insurance Renewal

    I received notification from Direct Line that our MG5 insurance was due in September, the renewal cost was £363.27, last year we paid £284.77. Every year I end up calling them after a short search on the net to try and get a better price. I was shocked this year using compare the meerkat to get...

    Best dash cam position FL

    Finally got round to fitting my dash cam in the FL and looking for advice/tips on best place to mount the front camera. I’ve placed it to the side of the rear view mirror like I did in my PFL, this seems to be the best place to avoid blocking my view. But in the FL the housing behind the mirror...

    Radio module Initialising

    Hello guys. I have a problem with the radio. It's not working. Radio module initialization. Is there a way to solve the problem? I think I need to update the DAB version. Does anyone have this file? Dab version : V2.94_R_ 20211212 MB-V05

    Need a few things checked/repaired

    Hi everyone, My MG 5 has been pretty good so far, but a couple of problems have recently come up: Firstly, it needed a jump start a few weeks ago: is this expected for a 2021 plate that's done 61,000 miles? Secondly, the driver's door was repaired after an accident, but it seems the garage...

    Pre facelift 5, Locking wheel nuts.

    Just to double-check but the pre facelift MG5 didn't ever come with locking wheel nuts as standard, did it? I don't recall ever seeing a locking wheel nut key/thing, and I got the car as a pre-reg a couple of years back, so I presume unless the dealer added them it won't have them. Otherwise I...

    Any good dealers in the Canterbury/Faversham area?

    Towbar on MG5 (again!)

    I know this has been discussed before but those threads are quite old so thought I'd start a new one... I'm about to get a MG 5 2022 pre facelift which I know isn't rated for towing. I'd like to install a towbar on it and I see there appear to be a few available from Brink and GMK now for 2020...

    Archived MG5 Full Size Spare Wheel & OEM Tyre (16")

    Sold my MG5 so I no longer require this. Never actually needed to use it in my four years of ownership but it was good insurance nonetheless. Having a full size spare means you can return immediately to unrestricted use following a puncture so is superior to a space saver. Have to admit that I...

    Can you fit a coffin in an MG5?

    So as the title really... And I thought the question might amuse folk. Backstory is that I'm a Kona owner but looking to swap to a MG5 soon as I've got some issues with the Kona and out of warranty. My wife is going on a course to make a willow coffin and she needs to transport it back! So...
