    Anyone Had Octopus Install Their EV Charger?

    We are new to the EV world and picking up our MG5 (August 22 LR Mk1) up next Monday. I have made an enquiry with Octopus regarding an installation of a home EV charger. Their online enquiry form was simple enough, but a week later nothing by way of a response or expected timeline. Called them...

    MG5 LR 2021. HVAC/Radio Niggles

    Hi Folks. Had the MG5 LR for a few weeks now and love it. Two minor little things are bugging me. On the HVAC system, the HVAC screen only comes up when making an adjustment using the controls. It only stays on for a few seconds and reverts back to the previous screen. The vent...

    Wipers not working.

    Started driving my MG5 (Facelift version) when light rain started fpalling. No matter what I did with the wiper stalk nothing happened. Stopped the car and shut down the engine. Wipers immediately started. Started the engine again and wipers worked properly. Any thoughts or solutions?

    Radio not turning off when turn car off

    Just got our MG5 Trophy. Had a HS PHEV before. On the previous car I would turn off, then when I opened the door the radio would turn off. This isn't the same with this one. I get out, shut the door with the music still playing whilst emptying children out of the car or shopping. It only finally...

    MG5 stopped with multiple errors, unable to drive or turn off.

    This might help someone out of a pickle. One of our MG5's in use as a taxi developed a fault that got the car stuck with multiple errors. Eventually the driver was able to turn the car off and restart. The cause was the rear seatbelt clip sensors. The wire in one of them broke (46800 miles) and...

    Electric SUP pump via electric car

    Bit of a long shot question, but has anyone ever used an electric SUP pump via their electric car? How much charge does it use up roughly? Or just not worth it for the energy drain?

    Carplay "AI" Dongle.

    Decided to try one of these carplay "AI" (There's nothing AI about them they just run android) dongles on my MG5 (PFL) to see if it's an upgrade from my Carlinkit mini v3 which occasionally decides it doesn't wish to talk to the car and also won't firmware update anymore (I wonder if it's a...

    First major issue with MG5 - bricked after failed charge. Any tips going forward?

    On our second MG5 having been very happy with the previous one. Had a nightmare yesterday when driving to a wedding 2 hours from home. Plugged into a Gridserve for a quick charge (was sitting at 50% so nowhere near empty) and the charger came up "out of order". Disconnected and tried to move to...

    SRC Button

    Hello The audio on my MG5 Trophy keeps switching from whatever I am listening to (usually a DAB station) whenever my phone receives a text or anything. I have to push the SRC button to get back to what I was listening to. It's a nuisance. Doesn't happen on my MG ZS EV. I can find no settings to...
