    EV5 seat covers

    Is there any seat covers out there that will fit the EV5 ? Or is it just a question of universal ones ? I have a dog and she sits on the rear seat and Im a truck driver and I don’t want to get grease on my seat when coming home from work as 5wheel grease is akin to CV grease on clothes

    Long distance journey

    I took my mg5 LR on a journey from South Wales to Eden project last week. What an absolute nightmare that was. Getting there was ok, but the way back took twice as long as it should have as there were so few chargers, and every fewer working. I really should have done my homework better and...

    MG5 LR charging with a Zappi 2 in Eco2

    Does anyone know if there is a minimum charge when using the Eco2 mode when using solar or wind energy Or indeed if on a Zappi or similar anyone is successfully charging with low amperage. Our car does very few miles weekdays, thus can spend a day(s) being slowly topped up for free( besides...

    MG5 tripping public AC charger

    Hi, I’ve had a couple of incidences of my car tripping the ChargePoint (Type 2 AC) charger at my workplace, which results in an engineer having to reset the trip. It seems to only happen when both of the two ports are in use (mine being one of them), but as far as I’m aware doesn’t happen when...

    MG 5 charging in France

    I have recently bought an MG 5 Long Range, and am planning to take it to France next month. I have seen conflicting reports about the need to take a cable with a Type 3c connector. Looking at Chargemap most charging points seem to be Type 2, but there is little information about motorway service...

    Bare with me with this one. I have a rowing boat on a hand trailer (no towing hitch) situated on a reservoir. To retrieve the boat and trailer, it has to be pulled up an incline (about 40m or so) to it's berth. The boat and trailer is light enough to be pulled up by two people, but it's a bit...

    Archived MG5 Protection Pack (10927428) available to buy online?

    I don't know if my google skills are letting me down but I can't find it in stock on ebay or any of the top google hits. Looking for the official one, not worth the effort for fakes (which is what I'm trying to replace ?)

    Speed limit display keeps turning back on

    Hi. Just enjoying the new long range but not sure why the road speed display indicator keeps popping on. (Turned it off!) Any ideas? It’s not a huge deal but just an annoying quirk that it seems to kick in while driving and then I toggle the on off switch back to off and it seems to go back to...
