    Prospective MG5 facelift buyer

    Hi, I currently drive an MG HS PHEV which I’ve owned for nearly 2 years and I’m now looking at going fully electric and I quite like the look of the MG5 facelift. Would a current owner be able to give me the height from the driver’s seat (seating position) to the ground please? I’m quite tall...

    LED bulb upgrades for SE & Trophy.

    Nice to see LED headlights and DRLs on the facelift but that's about the sum total of LEDs - come on MG, you can do better! So before anyone asks "why do want to change the halogen bulbs to LED?", I'll give my opinion - LEDs are sharper, faster reacting on the brake lights and indicators and...

    Probably just me being useless but is there anyway to stop the radio coming on when you turn the car on. Mine seems to like to start-up in either FM or DAB mode, and often quite loud if i've been listening to music via carplay previously. Also I notice it doesn't respond to the steering wheel...

    Same problem with every charger but my home one!

    Same problem with every charger but my home one! (MG5) I don’t quite know what I’ve done wrong, but for about a week now I can only get the charge port to lock closed and start on my home charger. On every other one, fast or slow the locks won’t engage - I can hear them try to slide in but they...

    USB play Albums

    Is it possible to format a USB stick to play albums on the new MG5? My old car would allow albums to play from the same stick I am now using, but cycling through the USB options only seems to give Single repeat, Shuffle and Alphbetic order on tracks.
