    Strange warning message

    I was driving down the A34 with CC set at 60, one passenger and a fairly heavy boot load - going on holiday. For no apparent reason I got the chime warning and a message "Please hold wheel", never seen this before - or since. There were several repeated warnings, eventually it came up in red...

    Time For Underbody Protection?

    For those who are hoping to keep their cars for a few years, it maybe worth considering giving your car some additional underbody protection against the coming UK salty roads. It's clear to see that MG have used 'NASA' technology to keep the weight down by making all parts as thin as possible...

    Infotainment system video input

    Has anybody seen the infotainment system on the Pre-Facelift LR removed from the car? Wondering what connections it has, if any and how much of a challenge it is to remove. Want to try and fit a 360 degree camera system without adding another screen if possible.

    Car leaking from underneath , Prefacelift LR

    I noticed a small puddle under the car when I parked on my drive tonight. Then noticed the car is dripping from the underside of the body. The fluid is water , it’s not sticky it doesn’t smell and it’s definitely not oil . Is this just some drainage from the AC system?

  6. SATNAV not loading

    Has anyone else had this problem? My two years old 5 has just decided to stop midway in loading the satnav. Have tried all the usual resets, apart from disconnecting the battery, but to no avail. Rest of the screen based activities are working fine:confused:

    My First EV

    I have just completed my first 1000 miles in an EV having part exchanged my revised shape top of the range 1.0 petrol ZS for an ex-showroom MG5 Excite long range (old shape). To say I am impressed is an understatement! I initially only went to the MG dealer out of curiosity about EV's, not with...

    Out with "old" and in with the new

    Upgraded from a ZS to the 5 even though it was only 2 years old. Just didn't have enough range for our needs. We were thinking silver but (luckily) they only had red or black in stock for immediate delivery. I must say, it looks pretty sharp in that color and matches the house! As we've found...

    Our Inaugural Trip Planned

    To christen our new MG5 Trophy and for nt better half to get used to the features of the new car, public charging and potential range anxiety (unlikely), we have our first min break planned.

    Roof rails load bearing or not

    Ok what's all this about MG5 EV roof rails being for decoration only ??? If you sell an estate car with roof rails with the correct roof bar attachment profile the expectation is that they can carry a load !

    MG5 Steering - a concern or not?

    Notice recently that the steering wheel is a bit "notchy" ... let me explain ... when driving on the motorway when the car is veering off to the left or right in the lane and I try and correct the veer I feel resistance from the steering wheel if I try and turn it just a fraction, and then it...

    At Last, it's here :)

    2021 MG5 Exclusive: 4 miles per kWh - YAY!

    After a year from September 2022: A recent trip, Glasgow to Market Harborough to Wolverhampton (in that order) at a chilly 12 deg C and motorway speeds: I charge every 100 miles. 200 miles up the M6 from Wolverhampton in atrocious wet and windy weather, but warmer, including a charge just...

    Occasional loud noise when changing gears or (dis)engaging P

    I don't actually know if they're called "gears" in an EV, but anyway. We've had our new MG5 EV (MY2022) for 10 days now. Only about 900 km on the odometer. My only issue so far is that sometimes when I switch between P/R/N/D, it makes quite a loud noise. It doesn't happen every time. Sometimes...

    Is anyone else getting this error? Sometimes when I turn the vehicle on the car appears to go through the start up process but when I go to put the car in to reverse the gear selector on the dash changed to N and nothing happens on the gear knob (it stays in park). If I go to turn the vehicle...

    Considering Switching from MG5 LR (old version) to the new ZS Trophy. Any thoughts, advice?

    Have the LR for 2 years and it's been reliable and the range has been fine. Generally a decent car, but I really could do with some of the smart features in the newer models. My kids are coming out of the push chair phase so I can afford to lose a little space in the boot. But wondering if...

    Phone connection does not work

    On 29 June 2022 bought my first MG Marvel R Performance Great car. Only since we bought we constantly have the problem that the system does not works with incoming phone calls from the Samsung Phone from my wife.
