    Seat lowering kits?

    The MG5 has a minimum seat height that is still way too high for my liking. I know there are aftermarket lowering kits for other manufacturers, just wondered if anyone knows of a kit for the 5? Links to sites and reviews if you've fitted a kit yourself would be much appreciated. I'm sure there...

    Disappointment with European vision

    Hi All, we have recently bought an MG5. Subsequently we find you cannot change the headlight direction when driving on the right. We have also learned that the road side assistance cannot be used abroad. Both these issues seem a backward step from our previous cars. We have subscribed to...

    Another tyre question

    MG5 Trophy - on checking the tyre websites (e.g. black circles and asda) I put in my reg no and it says that the correct tyres are 215/55/17. However, the tyres fitted to my car are 215/50/17 - Premitra 5. Is this correct, and what size are your 17 inch wheels fitted with?

    New Tyres

    hi everyone, I'm looking at getting new tyres, as the original ones are on their way out. I would like to get slightly lower profile than the original ones - 55 instead of 60. Does anyone know if this could cause any issues, since the the wheels have the sensors for the pressure etc? Thanks!

    12v issues

    I posted this elsewhere but I have a weird issue with my 12v battery. The problem is that every time I charge the car, the 12v battery is slowly depleted unless I remove the charge cable right away. The 12v battery holds it's charge no problem between charging sessions and tests fine outside...

    Auto hold has stopped working

    The Auto Hold function on my non-facelift MG5 LR has stopped working. It's been fine, worked perfectly and now it won't switch on at all. I've tried in P and D, footbrake pressed and not. Nothing! Has anyone else had this happen? And is it a portent of other random upcoming software errors that...

    New MG5 EV owner - A few simple questions

    Am I reading correctly that only one of the 4 usb ports supports data transmission!? Was planning on transferring over my wee usb stick with all my tunes on it from my old car but seems like theres no point if I need that one port for Andriod Auto? Is there a way to set things like Eco Mode and...

    Wheelchair loading hoist

    Has anyone fitted one of these units to an MG5 ? It seems to require one or two holes to be drilled in the boot floor so I thought I’d enquire before searching out the old Black and Decker. I’ll chase up a manufacturer and check with the insurance folks as well but wondered if anyone has fitted...

    Rear seat seatbelt issue. Fragile electrics.

    By way of a warning that the "done up" sensors on the rear seatbelt sockets are possibly a little fragile. I realised I was only getting two of the three rear seatbelt idiot lights coming on for the couple of minutes self test at car switchon. A process of elimination confirmed it was the...

    Fast charging headache

    Hi, I am new to the world of EV driving and, well in all honesty, it's been a real headache so far. My main problem is fast charging. So far I have had more unsuccessful attempts than success at fast charging and I wanted to ask the community if this is a common problem. Faulty charge points...

    MG5 EV sales - local dealer info

    I bought a new MG5 in December 2022 from my local MG dealer. Apart from the initial issue I had with fast charging (bad power supply unit) we’re happy with the car. I went back in to the dealership this month (April) and the guy said my MG5 is the only MG5 they have sold! He’s selling on...

    So long and thanks...

    So, after 18 months of MG5 ownership, I've just taken delivery of a BYD Atto 3. I'm going to miss this forum, there's a great community here. I'm not sure I'm going to miss the car so much though, too many failed charges, niggles, squeaks, creaks and rattles! Still, I'll always have my 10mm...

    Seat cover

    Hi, I'm looking for a seat cover for the drivers seat. I've got an MG5 exclusive, and the pleather had a couple of small rips in it. I do use a spray on protector already but need something more.

    New MG 5 arriving soon - Any useful tweaks/tips/life hacks I should know about?

    Not a car person at all but this will be my first electric car and when it comes to software and electronics, I'm super anal about efficiency and optimisation. This normally applies to PC related tech but I see no reason not to look into any handy tweaks for something like an electric car. Does...

    Connecting MG5 to your home wifi

    I saw a posting in the MG4 threads about getting your infotainment system to connect to your home wifi (at least when it's near enough to your house). https://www.mgevs.com/threads/network-not-available.10786/post-183668 I looked in the Settings menu on my MG5 LR (facelift) and could not find...

    Charged EV - Warning

    Warning about using Charged EV - This is a warning to all considering using this company and especially their Indra Smart Pro charger. I made the big mistake of having one of these fitted over 2 years ago. It ain't a pro and it is certainly not Smart! It worked for a year then developed...
