    Granny/3 pin charger from Amazon

    Granny charger is fine with me and most people understand it here in the UK.

    MG5 motor fault - is this common?

    Take the refund and buy from a reputable source. MG dealership is probably best but you will pay over the odds but it will be worth it. The MG5 is probably the most reliable of the MG range. You have been unlucky but has the garage fully checked the car before selling? I bought mine from a...

    Granny/3 pin charger from Amazon

    It is perfectly easy to run an electric car on a granny charger, provided your daily mileage is not excessive. But I would strongly recommend the supplied MG charger. Also make sure your wiring and RCD is the up to date specification. The plug will get warm but make sure it does not feel hot...

    Long range suspension

    If keeping the car long-term, might be worth avoiding the air suspension - just a thought.

    Picking up a new MG S5 next week trophy LR

    I have had Superguard but not as good as a ceramic coat. Save your money and do it yourself twice a year with something like 303 Graphene nano or Gtechniq ceramic sealant. I used a clay bar on my red MG5 and then coated with Gtechniq. Water beads really well. Personal choice is yours though.

    Four months in and things going wrong.

    On my MG5 I can adjust the speed warning. If I go over the set speed limit by 4 mph the screen goes to dashes - if you go a little faster it comes back!

    What car did your MG4 replace?

    Swapped my Lexus LS400 4 litre V8 (25 years young) for the 2 year old MG5. Sorry, I know it is not an MG4! No regrets - the MG5 has been faultless for 16 months. Now has 30,000 miles.

    Impressed by the range and mls/kWh

    As a rough guide, take your miles per kWh figure - e.g. 4.1 and multiply it by 40. This gives the overall mpg. Example: 4.1 miles/kWh x 40 = 164 mpg.

    I'm just going outside for a while.

    Yes, I remember having a word processor with that ...... Early IBM compatible computer running the very first windows - so slow. My FIRST word processor was an Amstrad games machine! With Amstrad 3" floppy discs IIRC.

    Not how I thought today was going to pan out...

    Good luck - it is ridiculous how long this has taken.

    What annoys me about the IM6

    Charging cable release – No local unlock option; you can only release via the app (which is slow) or from the infotainment screen. I think you have an emergency pull switch in the boot. It is hidden behind a panel I believe

    Worn out seat! Anyone else?

    I wonder if Autoglym Rubber and Vinyl Care would do the job? It is great for softening rubber trim.

    Auto High Beams on IM6?

    Wow! I am so out of touch with all this technology. That is a brilliant additional feature for dog owners.

    Auto High Beams on IM6?

    Interesting? What is pet mode?

    IM6 Insurance

    I got a quote (out of interest) for a BYD Sealion 7 - £330, much cheaper than I imagined - full NCB Kent postcode.

    Auto High Beams on IM6?

    Very interested to hear your views on the IM6 after you have had it a few weeks. What car did you have before?

    Changing the infotainment unit

    Have you checked the lead? It will only work if the phone is plugged in with the correct lead.

    MG IM6 information & reviews

    I was thinking more about issues than general servicing.

    MG IM6 information & reviews

    A very interesting car with some advanced features - if only the dealership service can match it!
