    Battery Heater - MG5 LR Exclusive

    I have tried turning on my battery heater on many occasions over time by going to the battery screen in the menu and clicking always on, but it always switches directly back to off. In the summer I guessed this was because it was too warm, but now at well below freezing it still doesn't switch...

    Snow, steep hills and the MG5 LR

    Hi, So yesterday we had a couple of inches of snow and I live in a very hilly part of the country. Overall the car handled it well but it did scare the living daylights out of me a few times. Going down a steepish hill, very slowly with regen on full, just feathering the throttle to control...

    Manual not loading in MG iSMART

    Picked up facelift MG 5 yesterday. Trying to access the manual in iSmart. First time I pressed the manual icons it mentioned downloading, but since then the two icons in the manual section don’t do anything. No downloading message and no manual opens up. Anyone else having similar issues?

    Hello everyone. My six-month old LR MG5 lives outside and has been standing for 48 hours in these freezing (for the UK) temperatures. I’ve noticed that the front windscreen is defrosting itself around the camera housing. This evening I thought I’d better check the 12v battery charge and was...

    Emergency Call Button

    In trying to turn on the interior lights I accidentally hit the Emergency Call button which worked very quickly and effectively, allowing me to apologise to the emergency services about how incompetent I was and that I didn't need any help. Then it went off again, very embarrassing. Having...

    Rolec charger - charging loss

    Hi, I’ve had a Rolec wall charger since getting the car last November. There’s always been a bit of a loss which I expect from the cable etc, but the last two charges seem to have really bad losses in terms of what Kwh the charger is drawing and what is getting into the car. Today I started the...

    Noisy heater fan - under warranty?

    Hi all, The heater in my MG5 LR became noisy about a month ago. To cut a long story short my local MG dealer, from whom I bought the car new, have been appalling and they've not even looked at it yet to tell me if it's something MG will fix under warranty. I was wondering if anyone has had a...
