What model? I think I have them on my 24 plate MG5 SE as I realised there are no visible holes for the wheel nuts. I had wondered how to get them off

What model? I think I have them on my 24 plate MG5 SE as I realised there are no visible holes for the wheel nuts

I know how you feel. I loved my MG5 Excite, it was an amazing introduction to EVs. But when I realised it was worth way less than the balloon payment I wanted out of the PCP ASAP. I took VT as soon as I hit the 50% point and managed to get one of the last MG5 SEs at the reduced price. Best move...

That’s why I gave my PFL back and upgraded in January as the available new (or in my case pre Reg with less than 100 miles) stock with £10k plus off the list price was running out. Think there were only about 3 left on Autotrader at the time. And there were older second hand cars with 1000s of...

I was offered less than £10k for my 3.5 year old MG5 Excite with less than 13,000 miles on it It’s on autotrader for over £12k

Exactly, or roof bars for me. I thought I could do without them when I bought the Excite and I was wrong, even though I only need them a couple of times a year. It’s what you need and what you want/can justify in terms of price. I could have kept paying another 9 months PCP and then paid more...

I handed my 71 plate MG5 SR Excite back when I reached the 50% mark on PCP, I did this to pick up an MG5 SE while they still had them available with a hefty discount. I bought a pre registered MG5 LR SE (24 plate ex-demo with only 100 miles on the clock) for £19k. I think the upgrade is worth...

Yes, I don’t think it is doing much regeneration while above 97% and thought it must be limiting it somehow. I’ve also always found it eats the first 5% very fast when charged to 100% especially if it’s been balance charged, at least my PFL did, only filled the new one up all the way twice so far

In my PFL SR the KERS could only be set to 3 from 97% or less (and could only get back to 2 if I set it to 1 when above 97%). However, I’ve noticed in my FL SE I can set it to 3 even at 100%

I handed the car back and walked away. Took out a loan to buy the new MG5 SE. The loan rates were better than the PCP option and the car is mine

I was quoted a bit over £13k as a settlement figure on my 71 plate excite. I wanted to upgrade to the FL SE while I could still get one with £11k off the list price, so VT was the best option as my SR Excite was valued way below the settlement figure (even though it had less than 13,000miles on...

Got a letter today confirming that the VT process is complete and I have no further liabilities. Was an easy process, just took a long time to get to the 50% mark. Bought my FL SE outright and don’t think I will be going down the PCP route again

So I have just experienced this, on facelift MG5. Opened boot with car locked and then when I tried to shut it it won’t lock, just bounces back open. Tried the mechanism and all seems fine. Tried putting the key in faraday pouch and still just bouncing open. Tried locking and unlocking car with...

My Excite got collected last week after I opted for VT. The assessment by the company who picked it up was 2 scuffed alloys and one scratch that had been touched up with paint, total cost estimated at £148. Now waiting for the final price from the finance company. Will update when I get it

Quick question: will the spare tyre from a PFL Excite fit the FL SE? Both are 16 inch Thanks The answer is yes, so that’s saved me the time, trouble and cost of getting a new one. Next question is how do I get to the wheel nuts? Is this just a hub cap that pulls off?
