    MG5EV 20 mph signs not recognised

    Any idea when that update was issued and what the number of it is? Mt FL is going in in a couple of weeks as they omitted the Tesla update and I could request that at the same time, if I need it (my app doesn't show outside temp, so presuming it does). I'm surprised they don't do these updates...

    Rear screen washer failure.

    Well done. My daughter just had the same problem on an MG ZS where it popped apart in the engine bay, in an fairly inaccessible place. We tried for some time but couldn't get enough purchase ion it to reconnect it. I read on the forum that some have had it fixed under warranty at their dealer...

    Rear washer stopped working - brake system to be stripped to repair

    Well her husband's cousin managed to fix the pipe back together after persevering for 45 minutes. He's going to try to put a cable tie on too. She owes him a beer!!!

    Rear washer stopped working - brake system to be stripped to repair

    My daughter has just had this problem - the disconnection of the pipe in the engine compartment. Her local MG dealer said £130 +VAT for them to do a diagnostic check and see what it is. If it is just reconnecting the pipes they can do that but if it's something else it'll cost more to sort...

    AA cover

    I had my PFL MG5 booked for 3 y service incl MOT for £150 and I didn't think that to bad. Not compared to an ICE car anyway. But I got rid before the service.

    MG5 Confused over update versions

    Which dealer Muffler? I think it could be the same as mine - in Beaconsfield (forgot their name) Yes, I was dealing with Rubbiya too - when she was there , which didn't seem very often. I had specifically asked to ensure that the update was on, and at first they wanted to charge for it but I...

    MG5 Confused over update versions

    I tried one a at (really busy!) site near Luton Airport this morning. The charger said Unauthorised Vehicle. The car knew it was connected but just waited patiently (which is more than I did - maybe I didn't give it long enough for the Charge Ceased message I'd seem previously. Anyway I've...

    MG5 Confused over update versions

    Missed this Muffler, sorry. I see you've now resolved your issue, do you still want this info? Regarding the Tesla error, have you tried any Tesla chargers elsewhere, as that's the same ones I've tried and had the charge cease failure. Could be a problem there only. I tried the first three...

    Out with the old, in with the new...

    I got a similar amount for my 3yo Exclusive with more miles (23k) as mentioned aboiut - £11.5k. I'd got the NHS discount which they were offering at the time so the depreciation was about £15k over 3 years (can't remember exact buying price!!) It used to be said that a car was only worth at...

    Auto dip headlights inconsistent

    FWIW I found the PFL auto dip a bit laggy sometimes but the facelift seems a whole lot better and more dependable

    MG5 Confused over update versions

    What were the symptoms of your failures? Similar to those I described above? I'm trying to establish whether the dealer had put the update on at PDI, as they said they had. "The dash showed it as connected but had Charge Cease on the screen, which I can't find described anywhere."

    mud flaps

    I tried fitting the AliExpress ones to the FL MG5 today. I can't get enough screwdriver onto the rears with the wheels on so they'll have to wait. I thought the fronts weren't going to go down properly but I got down and looked under the car and the edge of the flap under the car needs gentle...

    A couple more newbie questions

    I just read the street signs myself. It wouldn't be a defence against a speeding charge to say that your speedo was telling you the wrong speed!! I don't really spend much time looking at the dashboard once my ACC is set - and even that I can accelerate to and maintain fairly accurately on 30...

    MG5 Confused over update versions

    Yes Kevin, I did get to put in the charger number. I didn't watch the sequence all the time but when I looked the car said Charge cease. It looks like without the update I should get Not Authorised, is that about right? Thanks, I'll try the suggestions from you both next time I'm down that way...

    MG5 Confused over update versions

    Bristol St assured me that the update had been done for my new (1month old) FL MG5 before delivery. So today I tried charging it at Sindlesham which is a Tesla Public supercharger site. I had a payment method etc set up in the Tesla app. So the first problem was what do I plug in? There were...

    MG5 Android Auto not working

    If you have a VPN on your phone you probably need to allow Android Auto to bypass it. Easy to test if you do have one - just stop if for a bit and see if it then works. Some of the free VPNs may not have the capability to bypass so you'd have to stop the VPN completely I suppose.

    This news might keep the resale values up as an electric estate would be desirable by many, when they come to make the move to an EV.

    Paulie's MG5 upgrades blog, Wheels, Suspension, Foot rest, & much more!

    In the scheme of what we're used to when servicing ICE cars the MG has been incredibly cheap to service at main dealers, and of course you get the "free" AA membership. I know there isn't much to actually do in a service but mine on the pre FL were £47 in year 1 and £130 in year 2. Year 3 is...
