    Newbie here - considering buying MG5 sub £10k

    I didn't either but Colne, Burnley and Blackburn are all 70p or more.

    Recommend a 12v battery please

    I hope that it isn't your MG that's needed the booster.

    Recommend a 12v battery please

    Short runs don't make much difference to an EV. It hasn't had to pump out 3 or 400 amps into a starter motor to get the engine running. all it has to do is fire up the computer and flick the switch on the main battery. A booster jump starter doesn't need to be expensive. You can pretty much buy...

    VOTE TESLA SUPERCHARGES with MG5

    Although that is definitely true, my understanding is that early MG5s with the bug were occasionally locking up Tesla chargers and putting them out of action. Tesla then put in a check for the specific issue and prevented cars that displayed that problem from connecting. Either way it was very...

    Newbie here - considering buying MG5 sub £10k

    That's a really good price - almost as good as European prices. There are a few Tesla chargers in the North West that are 72p. I have no idea why there is such a wide range.

    VOTE TESLA SUPERCHARGES with MG5

    No, it just means that although it is obviously a bug they consider that fixing it is an enhancement and so the dealer isn't allowed to claim back their time from MG under the warrantee.

    Newbie here - considering buying MG5 sub £10k

    You may already know this but not all Tesla chargers are open to non-Teslas and, something I found out recently, not all Tesla chargers are cheap. As for compatibility, I think all of the long ranges were updateable (and all of the FL). Some of the standard ranges were also updateable but it...

    Recommend a 12v battery please

    That battery has much more power than an MG5 needs. I'm sure you don't need to pay the extra for a stop/start battery but I suppose it wont do any harm.

    Disabling auto window open 'feature'

    You could consider getting a shielded pouch to keep the key in.

    MG App stopped working!

    It's not really nonsense - lots of apps require you to actually log in once in a while. If you let your phone remember passwords then it is a bit easier to log back in.

    1800mm plaster board just fits

    As a temporary measure it is quite easy to remove the rear seat base so that the seats will then fold flat. Just remember that there is a connection either side for the seat sensors.

    Tesla Supercharger Issue MG5 LR

    I agree with you but, as this thread started 3 years ago and some people in the dealer network are still spouting lies, it is clear that no-one that can do something about the situation is reading here. I do love my car but I will be quite wary of buying another MG.

    Tesla Supercharger Issue MG5 LR

    There really ought to be somewhere that we can report that sort of nonsense. It gives the MG dealership network such a bad name. (Well done for doing the update yourself)

    150 kW chargers

    I don't public charge often but my FL Trophy seems happy with 150 and even higher chargers. It can't take more than about 85kW but it works OK. Have you had the charger update and/or the Tesla update?

    Sudden Increased Range

    What sort of driving are you doing? If you are around town at slow speeds it could very well be telling you the correct numbers. If you drive at 70mph for a while I expect it will change dramatically.

    MG5 would not take rapid charge

    Its worth trying locking the car before starting the charge. It doesnt really need to be locked but locking the car will make sure the cable is properly locked into the charging port.

    How hard can it be to get a new 12v battery fitted?

    but 14.6 is the voltage of the charging circuit. It doesn't tell you anything about the battery. It does tell you that the 12V charging is working OK.

    One pedal driving vs KERs

    Energy recovery is the same but KERS 3 requires more accurate pedal control but less moving you feet over to the brake pedal. Keep checking the figures when on ACC - My MG5 Trophy definitely recovers energy while on ACC but the MGS5 is a completely different car so anything is possible.

    So after 18 months, I finally work out how to dim the sat nav screen on Android

    Thanks so much for posting this. So easy to do but so difficult to find.
