I’m curious about the model number of your EVCC. It’s easily accessible next to the battery, as you can see here: MG5 Supercharger: FAQ 2 - What upgrades does my MG5 need to use a Tesla charger?. Since our cars are the same age, I thought you might be interested. Or, if you’re an owner with...

Good idea, but I have an MG service contract for them, I wonder if you can move dealers. Hi Tips, could you let us know what Dealership that is that did the upgrade? I've phoned a few & they don't know about it & the MG bulletin still says the 3 main model numbers, min is the same as yours...

So, I took my MG5 to Chiswick MG for its third service and first MOT today. I asked about the Tesla update, which was supposed to be done last year, but it doesn’t seem to be working. After telling the service guy about this, he quoted me £80 for it, but he said he’d ask the service boss. I was...

I just dropped off my Pre-FL 2022 to Chiswick MG for the same MOT & service, did yours get done ok? Ill move my update to the other Tesla thread as it turns out my MG5 needs a part despite it having an EVCC-02 but a part number of 11313393 missing the 8 on the end which is one of the three...

Thanks for the post, I found the story both entertaining and & inspiring! Now I want to head off to discover Europe in our MG5. As we are recently child free (last one left home) , it's time for us to discover more journeys around the UK & Europe! especially as we both find the MG5 so lovely to...

I tried ours on some new Tesla Super chargers in Kingston John Lewis car park & got an error the car wasn’t compatible, I did ask on the last service if it should work & they said yes. Guess I’ll ask again at its next service in March.

Yes I think I used longer one, I used a few stainless steel ones I had at least as far as I remember.

Thanks Gomev, that’s what I thought, weird MG Chiswick sales & service seem to know nothing about MG assistance, the AA we’re very polite & would have saved me so much time if they had told us when I first called we had two breakdown cover contracts, I had to ask her to check the second time, it...

Thanks for the replies, especially Jomarkh, the car has the warranty but I have moved servicing to Chiswick MG , I bought it from a different MG in Yorkshire, it’s a bit weird MG Chiswick don’t seem to know anything about it, spoke to sales direct today who said the know nothing about it, & its...

I’m trying to find out if I should have free AA cover or not, I’ve a 4 year service plan I took out via MG website & got second service with Chiswick MG but when I call the service team they don’t know & say someone will call me back, but they never do. Am a bit fed up with this now, is there...

We love our MG5 , 2 years old now , but bought it secondhand & it was a huge saving. As long as you plan your charging ahead of your travel , you’ll be fine. Fantastic car .

That’s great idea, I might try a matt finish, does it have to be any particular vinyl wrap ? Is it the self adhesive type? I didn’t realise you could use water to float it on.

Wow that’s really good to know, dealer put new 4 new tyres on mine after I asked to swap them before picking it up, which was a nice bonus, they haven’t lost any pressure yet .

Non-facelift LR 22 Had 2nd service done in March but didn’t see any note of an update or mention of Tesla. Never tried a Supercharger, how expensive are they? Can you tell by the software version?

Thanks for the heads up just checked with MG AA & spoke to a lovely lady , seems I have the full cover till 2025 so my dealer in Chiswick did renew it at the service in Feb. She said I had the full cover roadside, recovery car, home start etc so a really good cover she said about £400 worth, not...
