    Range ok on this car?

    That's it... occasionally I charge mine to 100% for a long run... I always reset the trip and in 3 years it's always been 250...

    Once you've started the car, press and hold the OK button on the steering wheel... quite a long hold before it goes away...

    VOTE TESLA SUPERCHARGES with MG5

    I, finally, have the EVCC info from my PFL 5LR, which show it to be 11268368. This, from my understanding, can't be software updated, and would need a new EVCC. The quoted cost of £680, which wouldn't be recouped over the life of the car, finished any interest I had in using Tesla charging...

    VOTE TESLA SUPERCHARGES with MG5

    Hi Les, Current mileage is 23,500, the discs and pads were advisory, quoted at around £700 but as the wear on the pads was minimal, I think it's reflection on the rear brakes not getting much use. The rear tyres also had very little wear from new. I think the fronts have only gone down a...

    Service done... having explained what I wanted, I ended up with a note on my invoice saying 'carry out Teslacharger update - quoted £680. No one available to explain how they came to this figure. Last dealer service and mot done. I'll whip the battery out to confirm the EVCC number, but at...

    F1 anyone?

    Bang on... it's 'entertainment' now... not a sport that I'd spend that subscription on, much the same as football now. All about the money...

    Buying a three year old MG5.....

    Yup! I have a 2022 Long range that saved me when the van in front didn't have any brake lights... Go to youtube and look at some of the |James and Kate videos... I'm on 22,000 miles, 22 plate and no problems to report... It's like owning a Passat, with batteries instead of an engine...

    Tesla Supercharger Issue MG5 LR

    I doubt there are enough owners affected to make a class action worth their while... The other problem is that for most dealers it's part of a franchise. Richmond, for instance, are Hyundai, Skoda, MG and Suzuki, with MG probably the smallest part of their business. Last year, they moved the MG...

    VOTE TESLA SUPERCHARGES with MG5

    Good point. I think it's MG service plan. The dealer I bought the car from sold me a generic plan of their own which I cancelled once I realised. The company it was with cancelled with no problem and the lass I dealt with said they had a lot of mis-sold MG plans that they'd refunded on...
