    Bonnet (app)

    Hi all Just tried the Bonnet app for my recent long journey to North Yorkshire (520 miles round trip). I am loving the app as it guides you step by step through the process (i.e. when to plug in the charge), and gives you an update on the state of charge (on some chargers). Also there is a...

    MG5 PFL squeaking noise from suspension

    Hello. I've been noticing a squeaking noise every time I drive over a bump. I took the car to the garage, and they confirmed that the suspension is solid. However, they couldn't identify the source of the noise. Has anyone else experienced a similar issue? Any insights would be appreciated.

    MG5 Pre-Facelift Bluetooth Connection

    Hello everyone, I'm facing an issue where I need to manually connect my phone to the Bluetooth system each time I start the car. I've tested it on both Android and iPhone, and the problem persists. Does anyone have a solution for this? Thanks in advance.

    Impending 12V death or glitch/sensor malfunction?

    Folks. 2022 plate Pre-FL Excite owner here. The car has had a few glitches; radio needing a reboot, HV battery not engaging when switching on & brake pressed, wipers not working & Start/Stop LED not lighting up even though it will drive fine etc. I've also started to get fairly regular...

    Goodbye or See you Later

    Unfortunately, I was laid off yesterday and will have to return my facelift next Wednesday so I will probably be around a lot less. Depending on what job I find I may well buy my own 5 or ZS as since changing to the facelift I was really quite enjoying the car and then you'll see me again. I'm...

    So long, farewell, auf Wiedersehen, good night ...

    Well, after 2 years and 2 months of MG5 ownership it's goodbye from me. I'll be selling the old girl next week having taken delivery of a used Polestar 2. First thing that happened in the Polestar, the infotainment crashed and needed to be rebooted ;) Just goes to show, all cars have their...

    MG5 EV 2022 Gateway module location, CAN bus problem

    Hi, I bought a MG5 2022 that has some accident. Car working fine(except power steering, but this is other issue) but I can not communicate with OBDII. I have Vgate Bluetooth module. I connected oscilloscope to CAN bus pin in OBD socket 14 and 6. I clearly see that some device sending contently...

    Charging Speeds (Pre Facelift)

    Anyone else seem to have been getting faster than the advertised 50kW peak from the new Tritium chargers? I'm currently at South Mimms and charging at a steady 63kW!

    Passenger seat height - pre-facelift

    Having owned my MG5 Exclusive for over 2 years now, I have only just realised that the passenger seat appears to have no height adjustment. This realisation has come about as I now take an elderly mate out once a week since he had a medical event, and he can only get into the car head first as...

    The missing... [ No AC charging ]

    Having read Fiver’s recent thoughts on owning an MG5 LR, it reminded me of the enthusiasm and enjoyment of my first few months of driving my 2021 MG5 LR during the summer of 2022. Sadly, that experience has been not so much dulled as erased by the events of the last year which has seen MG and...

    MG5 slow charge only

    Up until the recent storms caused power cuts I haven't had to use public chargers. I have installed numerous apps as there seems lots of different charge companies and am now trying them. My MG5 trophy will only slow charge at under 7Kw for some reason and I'm hoping that its something I'm doing...

  12. Looking at a 22 plate MG5 LR (pre faceliift) with a curious history

    A local dealer has a 22 plate MG5 for sale, first reg 22/07/22, 6700 miles, but untaxed since October 22. So, an awful lot of miles in the cars first two months, then taken off the road. Does anyone have an idea why this may be? Car rejected by the original purchaser and been back to MG for...

    MG5 EV (Facelift) Module Software Versions

    Looking for people with CarScanner and an OBD reader to share their software versions. Using this data perhaps we'll be able to work out exactly what different versions are out there and have some useful information to arm ourselves with when we need to talk to MG. To gather the data, connect...

    TPMS sensor replacement cost

    How much should it cost to replace a damaged TPMS sensor on an MG5EV? My local dealership are quoting £150 for an hour's labour, plus the cost of the sensor itself. Does that seem correct? The valve itself is damaged, not the actual sensor, so it's currently holding air but cannot be filled...

    Facelift Trophy Charger Software Version (Tesla Superchargers)

    I had my first service on my 1 year old Facelift MG5 Trophy, and as part of it the charger software was updated specifically so as to enable charging at Tesla superchargers. Unfortunately there is no difference -- it still fails to charge. I checked via CarScanner and OBD2 and the version of...

    New to EVs And the MG5

    Good evening to all. With used EVs now offering excellent value, I have decided to jump in and bought a 2021 MG5 LR. I’ve been driving it for a couple of days now and certainly enjoying the difference in an EV compared to my previous 3 Series. I am charging it using the 3 pin charger that...

  17. Sticky steering in CruiseControl

    Hello fellow MG5 Evers, has anyone noticed whilst driving in CruiseControl that steering is somewhat sticky, i.e. needs more effort to turn the steeringwheel. Thanks in advance for any enlightenment. P.S. I bought and fitted some 80W LED headlight bulbs, my word are they bright, really pleased...

    MG5 pre FL Battery Heating

    Has anyone tried battery preheating on pre-FL MG5 LR? I am about to go on a long journey next weekend, and I wondered if it would make my charge stops quicker, especially after all the media about dying Teslas in the USA, who couldn't charge in the extreme weather. I see there is an option under...

    Windscreen wiper failure

    My MG5 (2022, non facelift) has an issue with front wipers and washers not operating. I can hear a "relay" clicking when operating the stalk. Fuse 30 under the bonnet is not blown. I believe this happened in the recent heavy snow/frost, which may have jammed the wipers. Nearest dealer is...

    Has anyone else come across the problem that the passengers wiper doesn't clear the bonnet when being lifted and scrapes the paint on it.
