Welcome to the site. I think you need to expand on exactly what the problem is. What are the symptoms your car is experiencing? It's likely you will need to speak to your MG dealer.

Sounds like a dealer visit. Is the sos call not working?

 

[stephan]

Nope

vehicle can't start

Dosconnect the battery for 5 mins

Dosconnect the battery for 5 mins

Also known as a 10mm reset.

I put a battery quick disconnect on mine just for this reason, you just unscrew a knob a bit, this is manageable even for my wife. She has been told, if she experiences problems with the car, she should try doing the reset, waiting 5 minutes before connecting it again, before calling me for advice

This is 100% the analogue to "have you tried restarting the computer"

Have you got a link for one and will it fitted MG5 too?

Have you got a link for one and will it fitted MG5 too?

Being from Denmark, the links i could offer would probably not be of help

This is the link to the one i bought in Denmark.

If you do a search for "Car Battery Disconnect" you will probably get some links for some "local" shops, selling something like it.

I also added a picture of it, mounted on the car, the negative battery terminal i had to mount it so that the wire for the negative pole sits on the side, but it has been rock solid for 6 months in this position and every time i fill the coolant reservoir i give it a bit of a tug to test if it is still on properly and it is.

Works like a charm, wife used it once, but it turned out to be a faulty gear selector module so that time, the "power cycle" did not help.

Incidentally the instructions on the green part is about the same as the instructions i have for my wife
