    MG5 pre-facelift V2L DIY hack?

    Vehicle to Load (V2L) is not connecting a 12V DC to 230 AC 'Sine wave' converter. V2L is a plug in to the front where you charge up the car - at the end of the cable is a 13A 3 Pin Socket I use mine to make tea on a long journey or if we are having a picnic - with a low wattage kettle. You...

    OBD

    This is for a right hand drive car - your left hand one should be a mirror image. Yes, this is for a different MG but the MG5 EV OBD port is in the same place

    Auto dip headlight - how to reactivate?

    I find that if the lights are set at 'AUTO' then the icon shows on the screen and the auto full/dip works but if you turn on the lights manually to headlamps - during the day for example - then the auto will not show/work.

    Annoying sat nav

    I've the same issue - and it's annoying - You can not make any changes or do anything else but use the phone - maybe it's a built in bluetooth limitation - I don't know - I thought that it would be resolved in the software but maybe not enough of us tell the company about it.

    It doesn't recognise 120kph either and puts in 70 instead which I assume is mph It'll need to recognise 30kph soon in towns

    Tesla supercharger issue

    Well it didn't and I spent some time at that - but eventually found it marked on a charging forum - so just so as others are aware. I've just checked the Tesla app and it just says 8 of 8 stalls available - 250kW max

    Butt pain mg5 trophy

    I was thinking of replacing it with a smaller rest but I did not - it's now just blank. I couldn't rest my left leg with that large 'rest' in place - Ok - the car is ideal for shorter people than me - I'm over 183cm (6 foot) and therefore I could not stretch out my left leg - now it's not too...

    Leaving the trickle charger outdoors overnight/in bad weather.

    Oh OK - In my case I just fitted a cable suitable to carry 32A back to a RCBO/Trip Switch suitable for that current. The cable runs from the main 'fuse board' out to the front porch. I did use the 13A cable out to the 'granny charger'. That charger had no issues with rain or storms.

    Tesla supercharger issue

    In my situation I've come across a bank of Tesla chargers that have 4 for Tesla Only and the other 4 will work Tesla or Any EV - It might be worth your while trying a different Tesla supercharger or contacting them directly.

    Leaving the trickle charger outdoors overnight/in bad weather.

    You could get a 32A (Blue 'Commando' Camp site) socket installed instead. Then get a charger similar in size to charge up at 7kW at night. This one (or similar) https://www.amazon.co.uk/RamTouch-Electric-Adjustable-Scheduled-Compatible/dp/B0CYH9WPK3/ref=pd_ci_mcx_mh_mcx_views_2_title

    Impact of KERS on tyre wear

    I found that my excessive tyre wear was due to 'Lane Keep Assist' being set to High Sensitivity - you can even feel the wheels 'seeking' left to right constantly whilst driving at high speed to keep the Lane Centering in the centre of the lane.

    100 Years Theme Setting

    Hi All, I've changed my MG iSMART! Android App to show the '100 Years Theme Setting' and I think it would benefit others so I'm posting the info here. To Turn it On/Off go into the Last Icon on the right hand side and you will see 'settings' - Then go into 'Theme Settings' (Shows 'White' by...
