    Rear screen washer failure.

    When I try to use my rear screen washer water can be heard swishing in the top right end of the dashboard on my MG5EV. I think the pipe may have been pushed apart during a frost. Water can be seen dripping from below the dash onto the drivers side door post. How can I gain access to that upper...

    Lazy Lock - Remote open/close all windows. Can it be disabled?

    Lazy Clock (long press on key fob opens / closes all four windows together) caught me out again today when my key fob got pressed whilst in my pocket. Has anyone succeeded in disabling the feature on an MG5 SR non-facelift? Can't find anything about it in the manual so I assume it isn't possible.

    New MG5 Headache… help!

    My lovely faultless MG5 was destroyed in the fire at Luton Airport, only 11 months old. So, as a real MG fan, I thought… let’s buy exactly the same again as it was a really good car. My current one is a total nightmare… took delivery with 14 miles on the clock. I rejected after only 13 days...

    Optimum speed to improve range on MG5 LR pre-facelift

    Apologies if this is a silly question, but is there an optimum speed to aim to drive at to keep the battery as charged up as much as possible between chargers on a long journey on motorways/ A roads. I realise at 60mph you use less battery than 69mph but would driving at 50 ( if safe) help. I...

    Automatic headlight sensitivity

    I've had an issue for a couple of months not serious but thought I'd post to see if it's a potential problem or not . When driving along the heater lights flash up without warning momentarily . After a while I noticed the headlights were coming on at the same time . On further observations , it...

    Car switched on while parked ?

    In the bad old days of ICEs and their ignition systems, I was advised not to leave the ignition switched on with the engine off, for fear of damaging the coil. On older cars there wasn't even an Aux position on the ignition switch, so if you wanted to listen to the radio while waiting for your...

    Tyre pressure sensor

    Advice appreciated. All four tyres showed up as 'low tyre pressure' during a cold snap we had a couple of weeks ago (-4 or so). I didn't really need to use the car during this period so left it until we got back to 0 to 5 degrees (or thereabout) and then pumped them back up to the recommended...

    Quick disconnect for MG5 battery

    Just replaced the m6 nut on the battery terminal with a M6 thredded knob that can be undone by hand without a spanner should the need arise. I then cable tied the original nut around the terminal so i didn't loose it. Means I can disconnect and reset the car without the need of a 10mm spanner...

    MG5 FL mobile network iSMART

    Does anybody know which mobile network the MG5 uses for the remote iSMART communication? Mine is working fine at home for pre-warming in the mornings but has stopped communicating parked at the office so I can’t check it’s still charging (chargers occasionally trip and then I can’t get home!)

    I used the parking brake !!

    Having had the car for 2 years and a ZS EV before that for a year I had never used the parking brake switch on either car until this last weekend. :) I had always found the footbrake, Autohold and Park to cover all my needs for holding the car when stopped. However for some reason sat at lights...

    No Charge flap open detection?

    Very nearly drove off with the Charge Flap open yesterday, it was only because a neighbour said something as I was pulling out that I noticed. Kind of surprised the car didn't warn that this was the case, is there no sensor on the locking mechanism? This is the pre-facelift 5
