    MG5 LR (Pre Facelift) Seized Front Wheels

    New member here. I've got an MG 5 LR (pre facelift 21 plate) which has both front alloy wheels apparently seized to the hubs. This car is relatively new to me. I bought it in August 2023 from its first owner. It has so far run like a dream. On purchase I saw that the front tyres (Nexen N'blues...

    CCS Chargers Near Betws Y Coed?

    Looking for a bit of a heads up on Chargers in North Wales. We are staying in Betws Y Coed at a cottage without charging facilities. We won't need to charge to get there. I can see that there are CCS chargers at Ffestiniog and Porthmadog (pogo?), anyone used them? Any recommendations? Thanks.

    CarPlay and Android Auto stopped working

    We sent our car to Peterborough today to see if they could fix the radio. It’s a bit crashy, and recently both CarPlay and AndroidAuto stopped working. After most of a day (and no courtesy car) they’ve said it wouldn’t take a software update and MG need to fix it. We don’t know when that will be...

    Android Auto not picking up my voice - Facelift 5.

    I've been swapped into a facelift 5 as my company car for the last 3 weeks and I love it. However, I think the microphone may be busted as Andriod Auto doesn't pick up my voice. I'm using the same phone that worked well with my old PFL5, everything else on AA works well, does anyone have any...

    What depth of water can an Electric Car MG go through?

    Folks, we have had serious rain this month. Are there any guidelines as to what depth of water it is safe to go through with an EV. Not sure how waterproof the battery compartment is? With an ICE you can go as deep as the air intake so long as you don't open the doors. No so sure with an EV...

    iSMART (iNOTsmart) stuck in km

    My iSMART has today decided that everything will be in km with no choice to change to miles. Seems to have been an iOS app update that has removed the option to change… wonderful.

    Rain

    Hello, what advice have you got for charging in the rain? How do you keep your cables dry? How do you stop water getting into the connectors? Do i need to dry everything off before i close the connector cover? i know this can't be a fair-weather-only car, but some official guidance would be useful.

    Anybody using a MG5 as a taxi?
