    Pod Point max charging power?

    Hello everyone, I would like to know if anyone has tried the MG5 FL with the public Pod point chargers. I tried the ones at Heathrow car park two times already and I could only charge at 7kW while they state 22kW. Not sure if the cable supplied with the car (Type2) is suitable for more than 7kW...

    MG5 long range 71 plate SOH After 62000 miles. Do you have any figures?

    I have a 71 plate MG5 long range and covered 62000 miles in 2 years. Just had 4th service and was told my battery SOH is now 94%. I just wondered if anyone else has SOH for similar mileage/ age and if anyone thinks this is good or bad? Thanks

    Compatible ABRP ODB Dongles

    I have been using LELink OBD11 dongle with ABRP since September last year with no issues, but since the start of the year it has stopped working and ABRP are saying it's not compatible. Can I ask if anyone has had similar issues and what Dongles others use with ABRP?

    Can you turn on the heating remotely from the app while the car is also charging from AC?

    Hi, I'm new to my MG5 and this forum, so please give me some grace if this has been asked a thousand times already. I would like to be able to turn on the car heating before I set of on a journey while the car is still on charge, therefore not draining any charge from that battery. However, I...

    FL - Latest software version?

    Took my facelift 5 trophy in for its first 15k mile service this morning, they also advised that it needed a software update that was flagged as a recall. I checked the software version before the service and now just after picking it up, and it appears to be unchanged. Can anyone advise what...

    Wanted red but getting blue

    Hi all, I ordered a red MG5 as my new company car and our fleet manager was contacted today saying that there would be a long wait for a red one and said that they were building them in Piccadilly blue for the next few months🤷‍♂️. Anyway I’ve agreed to take a blue one but looking on the MG car...

    Non-existent parts/repair service

    Anyone had more success than me in getting a repair job done? Had a small crunch to my MG5 first week of September 2023. As of Jan 8th 2024, after two vists to the MG dealer/workshop and one to their nominated body repair firm I have yet to even get a quote for repair, let alone get an order in...

    Heating uses loads of power

    Probably you all know this but I noticed that using the heating set to 22 deg uses 10A from the battery, on a cold day (6 deg). That equates to 4kW of power being drawn from the battery, which totally accounts for my consumption in winter dropping to 3miles/kWh from 4miles/kWh. In summer, at...

    Jump Starting MG5

    The other day our 5 would not start. Pressed the start button and various lights flashed on the dash. On the second attempt, literally nothing happened! We called MG assist and an AA guy arrived very quickly and diagnosed a flat 12v battery, there wad plenty of charge in the traction battery...

    MG5 - smashing!

    So, this is what happens when your MG5 is hit from the front, head on! Was surprised at the amount of plastic bits. Going to be written off I suspect. Managed to get a loan car through insurers - new MG ZS Long Range - nice! As a lease car, I suspect it will be some time before I get any...

    Another system fault this time “ECU coolant overheating” and some serious!!

    Anyone had “ECU coolant overheating” red warning and then the fan in the bonnet of the car goes into maximum mode!? My MG5 is not drivable now, so will have to ask MG recovery to transport it to my dealer for yet another fix. Had enough of this car!

    12V battery charge level

    So, a week before Xmas my mg5 mk1 died showing HV errors etc and the 12V battery was showing at 11.7V. No amount of jumpstarting etc would bring the car back to life. The AA dragged it off to the dealer and after they've replaced the 12V battery everything appears to be working again. When...

    Satnav sorted

    A couple of months ago my satnav in my 2021 mk1 SR stopped working, would start to load then just stop. Although I use Android Auto for most journeys I like to have the built in speed limit 'nag' active. Tried all the usual resets to no avail and the local dealer didn't have any luck either...

    Tyre - slow puncture

    I have a slow puncture in the nsr tyre of my pre-facelift LR. A tyre fitter has advised me that they cannot repair it because it is in the shoulder of the tyre and they are unable to locate an exact replacement. The tread is good and I always prefer to keep tyres paired on an axle. The tyre is a...

    Octopus Intelligent Go says No

    I applied to Octopus Intelligent Go and was told they could not yet take on my model, a 2023 MG5 Trophy Estate Long Range. It seems strange that other MG owners are reporting being taken on. Are the charging configurations for MG models that different? I am assuming my problem is the model...
