    Home Charger Disabled by Insect

    Son rang to ask me to bring our MG5 over as his Leaf wouldn't charge on his Zappi, but would charge on the granny charger. MG wouldn't charge either so we started investigating the tethered cable for damage and sprayed some WD40 around the terminals. Still no luck. Then we noticed something in...

    Winter Driving

    MG5 LR is the first automatic car i have had. Apart from the "drive" option, is there a setting i don't know about for driving in icy conditions? Some automatics i saw years ago had a "first gear" setting which the drivers told me was to stop the wheels over-revving on ice.

    Rental MG 5, how to set up charging management etc please.

    Hi, please can anyone point me in the direction of a video or how to set up an Mg5 72 plate so we can manage the overnight charging. Can it be linked with ISMART, if so how please or where in the car do we find it? It’s quite different from my MG ZS which is in the garage again for the third...

    Key battery warning

    Loading the car up yesterday with the key in my pocket. When I got in the car to drive off a warning flashed up on the screen; low key battery warning. I've never seen this before and it disappeared after a few seconds. I wouldn't think the battery is low as ths car was serviced about 3 months...

    32 Amp Type 2 cable slow charging

    Hi everyone, I had the type 2 cable since I bought the car and it used to charge at 7.2-7.4 kW. Over last month I noticed the charging speed has dropped to about 3kW. I tried it at work and the Tesco Podpoit with similar results I know it's not a problem with the car, because I can charge at...

    Are you using a frunk? {aka froot)

    I have on and off thought about using a frunk but then decide not too. My main thinking is opening the front of the car to get a charge cable out could be quite dirty specially in the rain. Also popping the front open putting it on its support rod seems a little more hassle than the boot. I...

    MG5 Excite LR (pre FL) to MG4 SE LR - worth the trade up?

    I do love my MG5 (drive, range, features) but it is one ugly car :( Seen a few MG4 in the flesh now and it is one hot car :love: Could I justify the £10k to trade up, for a few extra miles of range, a better (but slower?) drive and a bit more tech (App). Tell me I'm mad for even considering it...

    Great day out with your MG? Post up a picture ?

    Right I'll start! Lovely day out today with my wife. Took the back roads from my home, through the Pressilli Hills to Fishguard, and then onto Strumble Head Lighthouse. A bracing and sometimes perilous walk along the coastal path for a few miles, before heading back for a Quality Fish and Chips...

    I charge my MG5 with the supplied MG charger but the 100% charge milage achieved is around 185 miles and no where near the 235 miles that MG imply. Do other owners have the same experience?

    Would not stay in D or R

    Today, I encountered a curious fault where I pressed the brake and selected R, in the normal way, but then upon letting go of the brake it automatically sent back to P. I tried several times and it would not stay in R. I also tried D but it would not stay in that either. I switched the car off...

    FYI "The "open network" Tesla chargers being bought by EG (Asda) will enable all drivers to access them regardless of the brand of their vehicle, the company added.'

    Been a lot of talk of the VCU recently - What is it ?

    The VCU has been mentioned in several threads* recently and that there is an update for it. There are hopes this update will cure all ills. I hadn't got a clue what it was so looked it up and if anyone else is the same boat (or EV) then basically it is the Vehicle Control Unit that communicates...
