    Tyre pressure warning light

    I've just had my two front tyres replaced at a tyre specialist garage (i.e. non MG). I asked while they were fitting them if the TPMS needed resetting; they said it should automatically reset. On the way home, I had the tyre pressure fault warning notification and dashboard light come on...

    Journey time counter

    I've had a quick search but cant find anything about this. My MG5LR records the journey time as 1/10ths of an hour, so 6 minutes in the car is 0.1hrs I find this really annoying, my previous cars (Alfa Romeos) recorded the travel time in minutes which makes much more sense. I've had the MG long...

    Emergency charge port release

    How hard does one need to pull on the emergency release cable to unlock the charge port? I just cant seem to be able to release it? The car is dead, I suspect a 12V battery drain.

    Don’t you just love the guessometer?

    I did an overnight balance charge, see picture with 100% charge, range 283. Drove around for a bit and when I got home it was at 96% with 285 range. Typical! Love that guessometer.

    EV5 it accepting rapid charge

    My EV 5 estate is reluctant to accept a rapid charge. Sometimes it will, but mostly it won’t. It’s been suggested that there may be a charging schedule that is stoping this. Can someone tell me in simple detail how I access the charging schedule to clear it?

    Second Service for 2021 MG5 SR

    Completed today by AE Wilcox & Son Ltd in Wickwar. No issues and the bill came to £165 including the optional brake fluid change. Only took 2 hours so I went on a 5 mile hike across the local countryside while I waited :)

    Best way to look after the traction battery?

    Hiya… am I correct that I should keep the car charged in the 20-80% range and only go to 100% say monthly to balance charge or for a long trip? MG also says to keep it above 50% most of the time but also not to over charge it. https://www.mg.co.uk/electric-life/guide-electric-car-battery-life...
