Saw a lovely orange (Tango) MG4 parked on Deal seafront last Saturday. Anyone on here? I think that colour really suits the car. I loved the Signal Orange Capri, Ford used to make!

That is good advice. On purchasing the car from a Ford dealer, I checked with the AA that the car was covered. A quick phone call for peace of mind.

I sometimes feel I have turned into my Dad! Can’t be bothered with complications in life! Others thrive on it. Horses for courses!

Not wishing to be ageist (?) but I wonder if it is older drivers that are negative to new technology? I am in my late 60’s and really not bothered about using all this new technology. I thought radar cruise control was brilliant at first but in heavy motorway traffic it is a pain. LKA never use...

I think you will find the AA membership is automatic if you have it serviced at MG. I may be corrected?

That is an interesting comment! My MG5's rear brakes make a noise when reversing (?) It is so easy in these EV cars to press the P (Parking Brake) and then turn the knob to D when the lights change. It would be interesting to hear from a driving instructor, what is the correct procedure to pass...

I use the granny charger only. I had an electrician, who installs 7kWh chargers, to check my socket. 1) the socket did NOT have an earth! 2) The RCD needed upgrading. A new socket solved the earth issue and a more modern RCD fitted. Well worth having it checked! Better safe than sorry. I...

The TPMS on my MG5 takes a little time to adjust after inflation.

Please keep the forum informed on how you get on with the warranty.

Please keep reporting your experience, it is a very interesting journey to follow.

You have come a long way since the system went live. You have really got to grips with the system. As you explained in an earlier post, you did not want to do loads of research before installing a PV/Battery system. You effectively stood on the shoulders of your neighbours experience and other...

I am not sure if Burden is the correct post or someone else. They suggested getting batteries first with Octopus Go and use the night tariff to charge the batteries. Is this possible? Sounds an interesting idea but how efficient would it be without solar? Sorry if I have not understood the...

I have a Lexus Hybrid. The Lexus EV range is poor compared to other makes. The Toyota BZ4e was tempting but too expensive at the time. The MG has definitely changed by perception of EV’s. I agree a full EV is the way to go provided it is the car you require and it is in your price range. MG used...

This was a marathon Of a thread to read (not all of it!) but very interesting indeed. Sadly it has raised more questions than answers in my head! To be fair I did not understand all that was being discussed. Rolfe’s position regarding export not being paid was unique and well done for sorting it...

If taxi drivers are buying them, then that is a good sign they are reliable and cheap to run.

Did your car go into limp mode? Or did you drive very carefully and slowly?

The only EV that would meet my practical needs was the MG5. I followed this forum to try and get an idea about reliability. That is my main priority. I wanted to replace our second car and considered a Mitsubishi PHEV. But the prices and quality that was on offer was very poor. I looked at...

How we think we would do the job, may be far from reality. Speaking to a Mazda salesman (young) he had no interest in the make he was selling. It was all about the profit he could make for the company and hence his bonus. Sales people move to different dealerships for better money / conditions...

I bought my MG5 from a Ford dealership. To be fair to the salesman he did admit he would have to read up on the car before the handover.

It is amazing the lack of communication between the service department and the front desk. It does make one wonder if they are trying to cover their lack of knowledge about the cars. MG will not be alone in this instance.
