Need a few things checked/repaired

[mk0805]

Hi everyone,

My MG 5 has been pretty good so far, but a couple of problems have recently come up:

Firstly, it needed a jump start a few weeks ago: is this expected for a 2021 plate that's done 61,000 miles?

Secondly, the driver's door was repaired after an accident, but it seems the garage didn't fix it properly as now the child lock button has been 'pushed in' so I can't press/use it (I noticed this too late to ask the garage to fix it again, I think).

Lastly, a few weeks ago, the boot randomly stopped opening. When I press the boot release button, there's just a very quiet click sound, but then nothing happens and pressing the boot release button on the key does nothing either.

I was wondering if anyone knows if any/all of this would be easy DIY fixes and if not, I guess I'll just have to contact a dealer about them?

Thanks

New 12 volt battery required for sure !.

Yeah, the 12v battery is prone to failure and it's an easy DIY fix.

Give the boot lid catch mechanism a good spray with lubricant, it might just be sticking. I had the same on the bonnet catch and used graphite spray (Lidl) on it.
