Do you know if it's the MK1 or the MK2? One of the three MG5s we've had (leasing before buying got complicated) exhibited this behaviour quite a bit. It seems to be less likely if you wait for the car to "initialise" before taking it out of park. There may also be software updates a dealer...

Apparently they're not locked to a particular vehicle (unlike many other manufacturers) so assuming it's not damaged could also be a nice range upgrade for a SR model

I'm part of Dala's Discord and while it's just a few of us DIYing solutions in the UK there are also a variety of people in other countries starting up businesses providing off-grid systems built around second life batteries. Safety is discussed often and even when talking about LFP the current...

We've owned a top trim 2016 Leaf, and driven basically all variants of the Pre-FL MG5. When people ask me "what's it like?" my general answer is: it's an affordable family EV, and it was clearly built to a price point. The "engine" view on the dash is very reminiscent of my brother's old Prius...

Happily lugged around a 15' Canadian canoe on the roof of ours. Bought a second towing eye so I can tie it down front and back

You can hit the heart above the station info to add a favourite but if you've got more than six you then need to go into the favourites list from the heart at the bottom of the same view to find them. Now if someone can find a way for the forward and back buttons on the steering wheel to go to...

Nice. Paul from Cleevely Mobile had a look at mine on Friday and recommended basically what you're doing: add a bit more padding for the things that look like they're getting pressed on, and if possible a bit of support from the frame mounts. I'm sure I'll get around to it at some point.

Looks very plausible. A quick search online for "rear window heater radio interference" gets lots of results across lots of car manufacturers. Apparently a slightly damaged wire could be making tiny arcs and lots of EMF noise

Can confirm what @dragon2611 says here: on a PFL MG5, car locked: 1. open the boot with key in pocket (boot only unlocks) 2. hop in with key in pocket 3. close boot 4. boot locks and then immediately pops open again, allowing access to the key I can't comment as to what the newer ones do!

We got the car in the summer. Now it's started to get colder I've just discovered this alternative radio mute button... Anyone else kitted out with one of these??

That's good to know. We bought a second hand 21 plate SR and only got one key :mad:. My plan was to hop in the boot with the key in my pocket and pull it closed behind me to confirm this one way or the other! I still might, but good to know someone else has gone before me.

At this point it feels like the builders were putting in arbitrary differences between the trims! By my count, the options mean you can have any combination of: Excite (no roof bars) or Exclusive (with roof bars) ACC/lane assist or not (is this "Trophy"?) SR or LR, which for some reason...

I'm driving an Exclusive SR. It doesn't have it.

Just jumping in here: anyone know which Mk 1 trims got the two-layer boot and which didn't? Also has anyone tried to retrofit? I'd be interested to know if there are any holes behind the fabric I could just bolt a part on to.

We've just picked up a 21-plate MG5 with only a can of goo where a wheel should be ? - can't believe manufacturers can get away with that. We're in north Derbyshire. Could potentially drive up the M1 to meet you somewhere mutually agreeable?

Picked up our 21 plate MG5 last week. Just done the Really Useful Frunk conversion!

Terminology is hard. Much like with USB, the one that everyone thinks of as "normal" or even "slow" is actually officially "fast", and the one everyone thinks of as "fast" has a much more hyperbolic name! Quick summary below Standard/slow: 3 pin plug into the wall, maximum 3kw/13A, less with...

All this shows is: if for some reason you need a car for 24 hours to do a 280 mile round trip and you absolutely are not wanting to stop and charge at a location that's convenient for you, maybe don't hire a car that you knew didn't have a big enough tank to do the whole journey in one go? ...

When you say "straightforward" are there any sneaky screws anywhere, or is it just a case of going around it finding and releasing all the clips?

Reading with interest and not a little surprise. Our MG5 Excite (pre facelift) definitely supports MP3s in nested folders. We have one folder for the kids' audio books, another for my wife's preferred artists, and my one with the real music in it ?
