I heard last night from my local dealer that the mgs5 ( b class suv) is going to be followed up by a "full sized, all electric suv" later this year. Anyone else heard this rumour?

i went with the heavier and heavier thump to be honest to get mine open

my my - is that fold flat seats i see? great news if they are, annoys me that they dont fold flat in the mg5.

shame, i was hoping for an ER on launch otherwise i might be temped elsewhere. With many other marques releasing larger batteries this year (the Peugeot 99kWh as an example) i really was hoping for a 350+mile range in at least one of the models

i see the website has been taken down, maybe they jumped the gun slightly....

I hope when it gets over here they bring out a bigger battery version. If they do it would be ideal for my needs, all I wanted was a mg5 with rear wheel drive and a 70+kwh battery at a reasonable price point Here's hoping!

i know its not formally announced yet, but anyone know the battery sizes they will be offering? https://www.mg.co.uk/new-cars/mgs5-ev

i even went to the effort of removing the engine cover on the weekend to see if i could lubricate the rear of the pin, but couldnt find anyway to get to the other side of the charge port without going to the effort of removing the bumper

on mine, i have held off gluing the magnets on - i have found a workaround for mine atleast. if i pull the pin manually (once the flap is open) by hand to the full extent where the pin can come out to, then when i push the flap closed it "clicks" into place (does need a firm shove to click)...

I'm going to try an adaptation of the Padaung post above, but with magnets, as these are cheap at the moment. No idea if it will work but I will report back! https://www.amazon.co.uk/Magnet-Expert%C2%AE-25mm-thick-Neodymium/dp/B00TACL9OU?ref_=ast_sto_dp

looks like mine has succumbed to this same problem where it wont shut / latch closed properly so looks like ill be heading into the shed this coming weekend to find a DIY solution - shame really

For mine the only wait was to get booked in (about two weeks) so I assume parts were easy to get hold of.

they did cover mine under warranty luckly enough and yes they did replace the whole seat mounting. i thought they were going to change the whole seat, but seems the metalwork comes off the seat itself and they changed all that - took about 3 hours though

Weirdly I had that on mine for the first time today! I'll keep an eye out and see if a one off. Mine is 3 years old done about 45k miles

AHH i see. I think that would be a huge shame, but seems the way all car manufacturers seem to be going now. I'm ending up looking at Berlingo type 'mutli vans' as my next one as there isn't anything obvious to replace my 5 with across any maker.
