    Sticky steering in CruiseControl

    Hello fellow MG5 Evers, has anyone noticed whilst driving in CruiseControl that steering is somewhat sticky, i.e. needs more effort to turn the steeringwheel. Thanks in advance for any enlightenment. P.S. I bought and fitted some 80W LED headlight bulbs, my word are they bright, really pleased...

    MG5 pre FL Battery Heating

    Has anyone tried battery preheating on pre-FL MG5 LR? I am about to go on a long journey next weekend, and I wondered if it would make my charge stops quicker, especially after all the media about dying Teslas in the USA, who couldn't charge in the extreme weather. I see there is an option under...

    Windscreen wiper failure

    My MG5 (2022, non facelift) has an issue with front wipers and washers not operating. I can hear a "relay" clicking when operating the stalk. Fuse 30 under the bonnet is not blown. I believe this happened in the recent heavy snow/frost, which may have jammed the wipers. Nearest dealer is...

    passenger wiper

    Has anyone else come across the problem that the passengers wiper doesn't clear the bonnet when being lifted and scrapes the paint on it.

    Frozen flap

    Bit embarrassing today… Drove 60miles to office, arrived and pulled in to charge so I could get home later. Charging flap would not open. Pressed, thumped, wiggled but no joy. 5litres of warm water later and still wouldn’t open. Lock car, unlock car x10 but nothing worked. Called AA and...

    Switching MPH to km/h

    Has anyone found a way to switch MPH to km/h - or even display both? Would be useful when travelling in Europe. The car must be capable as it sells in all markets, but probably a deep setting that isn't easily accessible

    MG5 LR to ID3 77kwh

    hi everyone, After 2.5 happy years with MG5, I'm looking at changing to ID3 77kwh (just for this extra bit of range). I was considering MG4 extended range as well, but VW seems to be a little bit more efficient, and also I can get 21 or 71 plate for 25k, as with MG4 we are looking at minimum...

    Does MG5 share mechanical parts with other cars?

    Two years of driving my MG5 LR taxi over speed jumps has done some part of my suspension in. The official MG garage won't see me for a month! So I'm parked outside my old ICE mechanic waiting for a ramp. He's already said he doesn't think MG parts are available in my country (Ireland). My only...

    FL5 - playing music from USB stick (or not?).

    When our FL5 first arrived in Jan 2023, I thought it would be just a case of popping in the USB stick and away we go as per all previous non MG cars. How wrong was I and soon realised that the 50+ albums were in the wrong format for the 5 so tried to re-format them using 3rd party software but...

    HV Battery Fault after failed DC charge still a thing?

    Is this still happening to people? I haven't seen it mentioned recently. I've only DC charged my pre-facelift MG5 once, to test it out after I bought it, as I generally just charge at home,

    DAB symbol query

    What does the small landscape symbol that appears in the bottom right corner of the large transmitter mast symbol on the DAB display signify? Touching it changes it to a smaller version of the larger mast symbol but I can't hear any difference in the audio. I haven't found any reference to it...

    Hi all, This winter my wife and I have both noted that the temperature from the heater in our car is fluctuating from very warm to suddenly cold, and then back to very warm. This is happening when we have not touched the heating controls (temp or fan). My car is a '21 plate MG5 SR In...

    Intermittent slow charge from home charger - MG5 SR

    Hi all, I have a '21 plate MG5 SR. We have owned it from new. Over the past 9 months, when using our home charger, we have experienced several very slow charges (2kW), when it was expected the car would charge at 7kW. This has meant we have had a car that hasn't charged enough for a return...

    Service by non-dealer

    Hi all, My MG5 SR is due a service. It will be three years old in March '24 and it has covered 73k. If I were to take it to a non-dealer for a service, would that invalidate the warranty? I'm looking at non-dealers to see if the service cost would be lower. The last service cost £240 and it...
