    Newbie here - thanks to all! (and a few questions...)

    Hi folks! I'm the proud owner of a "new" pre-FL LR Excite, registered in Nov 2022 but bought from the dealer with 4 miles on the clock! I've come from a (deep breath) BMW 2 Series Grand Tourer M Sport 220i DCT 7 Auto (!), which was giving me outstanding economy at about 24 MPG ;-). I've got...

    Passenger Seat height adjustment (is there a way)

    The passenger seat is quite high and the exclusive version's driver's seat is adjustable in height. Is there any mod available to make the passenger seat adjustable cheers

    Dashcams - any successful installations or wise advice?

    I've been considering fitting a dash cam to my Mk1 5LR. When I mentioned this at the service desk of the MG dealer they advised against it because they said it might interfere with the operation of the lane keep & CC functions in the mirror mount. I think they implied some sort of radio...

    MG5 Trophy Facelift 2022 locked in Showroom Mode?

    Hi All, I bought an ex-showroom trophy a couple of weeks ago. We’ve been having a bit of a ‘too and fro’ with the dealer trying to get to the bottom of our settings page on the infotainment system. I’m pretty sure it’s locked in some kind of Showroom mode. The dealer just told us to turn off all...

    MG5 sat for a while on dealer forecourt

    Hi all. What an amazing resource this forum is! I viewed an MG5 LR Exclusive pre face lift today. Pre registered in November 2022 and has 32 miles on the clock. So sat for 9 months doing nothing.. When I turned the ignition on a warning came up for the 12v battery saying it was low. This...

For some reason charging is stopping at 80%, which is what comes up as normal on the MG app? Amy ideas what I’ve done for the car to stop charging at 80% instead of what...

    Swap black piano centre console cover with silver version

    I was contacted by a French MG5 owner to source a silver console cover used on Luxury version to replace his Comfort version's black piano cover. Each to their own taste, but I do like the iead the silver piece will brighten up the space once fitted.

    A weighty problem

    I think we can all agree that the MG5 is a physically larger car than the MG4 , longer, more glass area etc so apart from it having a smaller motor (batteries around the same size) does it weigh around 80-90 kilos (5%) less? Its on an older platform which you could possibly expect to be heavier...

    Public chargers

    I'm using public chargers as I don't have a wall charger and I've noticed the cheapest in br4 has gone to 66p/kWh and that's with electric universe can anyone recommend a good subscription based or free company to go with so BP pulse for the 50kwh is working out cheaper at 63p. Cheers in advance

    MG5 PreFL Rapid Charge Shutdown

    Hi Had the dreaded System Fault today after rapid charging my MG5. Have never needed to rapid charge it before so came as a bit of a shock. Luckily it was at Morrisons (so a quick breakfast while I waited) and then the AA came along and cleared code and away I went. It literally took him 60...

    MG5 Reversing Camera Lag

    Does anyone else's reversing cam seem very slow at catching up when reversing? It has bothered me since getting the car but I've just always allowed it time to catch up, but I'd have expected it to bother more people and to have heard if there was a software/firmware update to fix it. Maybe...

    MG5 Second Service

    My MG5 is coming up to its second service at just over 20k miles. Just had a quote from Glyn Hopkin for £380. This seems outrageous to me. Anyone had similar experiences?

    Servicing cost increased

    So when I got my MG5 my first service was about £30. For our MG4 the first service is just over £100, why is that?

    Has anyone found out how to upgrade the maps/infotainment on the Facelift MG5? It doesn't look like the same process as the MG5 SR.
