    Frozen flap

    Bit embarrassing today… Drove 60miles to office, arrived and pulled in to charge so I could get home later. Charging flap would not open. Pressed, thumped, wiggled but no joy. 5litres of warm water later and still wouldn’t open. Lock car, unlock car x10 but nothing worked. Called AA and...

    Switching MPH to km/h

    Has anyone found a way to switch MPH to km/h - or even display both? Would be useful when travelling in Europe. The car must be capable as it sells in all markets, but probably a deep setting that isn't easily accessible

    MG5 LR to ID3 77kwh

    hi everyone, After 2.5 happy years with MG5, I'm looking at changing to ID3 77kwh (just for this extra bit of range). I was considering MG4 extended range as well, but VW seems to be a little bit more efficient, and also I can get 21 or 71 plate for 25k, as with MG4 we are looking at minimum...

    Does MG5 share mechanical parts with other cars?

    Two years of driving my MG5 LR taxi over speed jumps has done some part of my suspension in. The official MG garage won't see me for a month! So I'm parked outside my old ICE mechanic waiting for a ramp. He's already said he doesn't think MG parts are available in my country (Ireland). My only...

    FL5 - playing music from USB stick (or not?).

    When our FL5 first arrived in Jan 2023, I thought it would be just a case of popping in the USB stick and away we go as per all previous non MG cars. How wrong was I and soon realised that the 50+ albums were in the wrong format for the 5 so tried to re-format them using 3rd party software but...

    HV Battery Fault after failed DC charge still a thing?

    Is this still happening to people? I haven't seen it mentioned recently. I've only DC charged my pre-facelift MG5 once, to test it out after I bought it, as I generally just charge at home,

    DAB symbol query

    What does the small landscape symbol that appears in the bottom right corner of the large transmitter mast symbol on the DAB display signify? Touching it changes it to a smaller version of the larger mast symbol but I can't hear any difference in the audio. I haven't found any reference to it...

    Temperature from heater fluctuates

    Hi all, This winter my wife and I have both noted that the temperature from the heater in our car is fluctuating from very warm to suddenly cold, and then back to very warm. This is happening when we have not touched the heating controls (temp or fan). My car is a '21 plate MG5 SR In...

    Intermittent slow charge from home charger - MG5 SR

    Hi all, I have a '21 plate MG5 SR. We have owned it from new. Over the past 9 months, when using our home charger, we have experienced several very slow charges (2kW), when it was expected the car would charge at 7kW. This has meant we have had a car that hasn't charged enough for a return...

    Service by non-dealer

    Hi all, My MG5 SR is due a service. It will be three years old in March '24 and it has covered 73k. If I were to take it to a non-dealer for a service, would that invalidate the warranty? I'm looking at non-dealers to see if the service cost would be lower. The last service cost £240 and it...

    Pod Point max charging power?

    Hello everyone, I would like to know if anyone has tried the MG5 FL with the public Pod point chargers. I tried the ones at Heathrow car park two times already and I could only charge at 7kW while they state 22kW. Not sure if the cable supplied with the car (Type2) is suitable for more than 7kW...

    MG5 long range 71 plate SOH After 62000 miles. Do you have any figures?

    I have a 71 plate MG5 long range and covered 62000 miles in 2 years. Just had 4th service and was told my battery SOH is now 94%. I just wondered if anyone else has SOH for similar mileage/ age and if anyone thinks this is good or bad? Thanks

    Compatible ABRP ODB Dongles

    I have been using LELink OBD11 dongle with ABRP since September last year with no issues, but since the start of the year it has stopped working and ABRP are saying it's not compatible. Can I ask if anyone has had similar issues and what Dongles others use with ABRP?

    Can you turn on the heating remotely from the app while the car is also charging from AC?

    Hi, I'm new to my MG5 and this forum, so please give me some grace if this has been asked a thousand times already. I would like to be able to turn on the car heating before I set of on a journey while the car is still on charge, therefore not draining any charge from that battery. However, I...
