    Nexlink ODB won't connect to ECU

    I've got a pre-facelift MG5 from the second half of 2021 and no OBD reader seems to connect to the ECU. I found a recommendation for a Nexas Nexlink BT5 device elsewhere on the forum, which that user said works with their car. However, it doesn't seem to work for mine. I'm using an Android...

    One Month of ownership

    Well, I’ve been driving my Pre-FL LR MG5 for a month now. The 3 pin charger is working well and certainly keeps the battery at around 70% easily. I’ve driven nearly 700 miles without an issue. I did get the 70,000 mile service done at a cost of £230.00 which included the replacement of two rear...

    MG 5 - Car "dies" in traffic queue with manual parking brake applied

    I have a two and a half year old MG5 long range and on two occasions (several weeks apart) I have been waiting in traffic with the manual parking brake applied and when I try to move off (by just pressing the accelerator) nothing happens! I can't be sure but I think the heating fan stops but the...

    Pre heating and Tesla charger

    I drove to Leeds and back in the last few days and thought I'd give the Tesla charger at Trumpington (Cambridge) a go. On the way up I only seemed to get 30-35 kW on the way back down I thought I'd give the battery pre-heating a try and put it on 30 mins before the stop and charged at 70-75kW...

    Seat belt warning noise

    I have to say the seat belt not on warning in the MG FL is the most gentle pleasant sound I have had in any car. With the bonus is stops the annoying sound from the indicator lol Ps I do wear my seat belt when driving just noticed this when I was moving the car slightly.

    71 plate MG5 LR Exclusive - Static roof bar rating?

    I'm well aware of the 75kg dynamic load limit for the 71 plate MG5 LR Exclusive; can anyone point to a reliable source for what the static load limit is? Interested because of possible roof tent use - if there was one under 75kg, that'd be ok for dynamic load, but I don't really want to trash...

    HV battery fault

    Last night I used a fast charger on the M25. Only charged for 15 minutes then got HV fault. Locked the car and returned 20 minutes later all good. I've seen some post where they say disconnect the battery. Is it worth carrying a small jump starter? TIA

    MG5 Pre-FL GOM query

    Hi, I have just bought a second hand 22 plate MG5 LR ( or so I think!). On delivery the GOM is saying I have 103 miles left on 47% charge, equating to about 210 on a full tank. This is after resetting the trip counter and with no heating/lights on etc. I read on the forums a LR should show about...

    Non-existent after-sales repair service means I'm going to have to sell

    I've decided to get rid of my MG5 as soon as I can get it repaired. I've phoned the local MG dealership and the two separate body repair shops they use a dozen times, and visited them in person, over the last five months (since a minor accident in early September) and they can't even get me a...

    Where can I find my service history without MG iSmart?

    I purchased an MG5 demonstrator in October 23, and have been waiting since then for the dealership to unbind it so that I can bind it to the iSmart app on my phone. Can anyone tell me how to access my service history without using the app? I'm told the car was serviced back in November while it...

    New 2023 MG5 facelift charging issue. AC this time!

    I’ve had my 2023 MG 5 facelift for 1 year now, it’s just had its first service. I’ve only been driving it 10 of those 12 months though because they had to replace the power supply unit in the car because DC charging didn’t work when it came out the factory (I posted about that). The latest...

At home, the granny-charger did connect & did charge. What data did not get through? & what can I try next? [ Edit...

    Rapid speeds FL

    MG5 FL Been a while since I used a rapid charger but decided to pop round and try the shinny new MFG 150kw chargers round the corner from me. I didn’t preheat the battery and it was about 13c outside. I was charging from 50 to 85% just to see the speed difference once it hit 80%. What puzzled...

    Missing Underfloor Cover?

    Hi, I had a look under the car for the first time this evening after almost two years of ownership and it looks as if I might be missing a cover on the nearside behind the front axle. I can see connectors on the HV battery and would have expected them to be covered. I've attached two photos...

    Camera problems

    Does anyone else have issues with one of their cameras now and again? I find it we start the car and quickly go into reverse sometimes the reverse camera doesn't show on screen. Also has the effect of the car icon getting fat as it stretches to fill the screen where camera missing.
