    Sticky steering in CruiseControl

    After a recent update our lane assist & cruse doesn’t affect our steering like it used to & the MG pilot has stopped crashing. I was thinking about fitting new LED bulbs but to be honest I find car headlights show so much glare now it feels dangerous, I’d dont have a problem with the standard...

    2nd Service - Poor Result

    OMG that’s awful now I’m paranoid about getting mine serviced. I was going to ask what people expect to pay for a second service as mine is due in February. I went to MG Chiswick last week to get updates done under warranty as my MG pilot & Keep Lane Assist was crashing. “MG Pilot Quit” error...

    MG5 recall?

    My pre-facelift is going in next week to fix our “MG Pilot Quit” errors we get all the time I wonder if I should ask about the VCU?

    How to get a FRUNK in your MG5

    I think I prefer the home made Frunk option with the IKEA box, especially as it keeps the support frame & could be sprayed black or find a black alternative . I keep my cables in the boot though & not sure I need the extra space that desperately. I wouldn’t mind doing the gas struts upgrade...

    Trophy prices

    I was thinking of doing the same, though we live our pre-facelift & had reports the difference is mostly superficial , the newer infotainment system & app would be nice, did you sell it privately then grab a new one? I can’t imagine a dealer giving me a decent trade in to make it worth it.

    MG5 LR (Pre Facelift) Seized Front Wheels

    Useful to know, had my tyres switch front to back when I bought the car (1 year old) & the dealer replaced the rears for free once they saw the tread was low so might pop them off to check they have been greased.

    Replacement Windscreen Wipers (front)

    This I think is incorrect it should be Bosch Aerotwin A188S, 18 & 24” , I looked up wipers on Euro car Parts & it recommended 26” & 18“ then checked Bosch A721S and that’s a set with 24 & 16”, I couldn’t find the spec in the manual so then checked the car which still had the original blades on...

    What depth of water can an Electric Car MG go through?

    So my MG5 got destroyed at Luton… new one coming…

    Ahh so that was the cause :))) I’m kidding Sorry to hear that James but nice to get a new replacement. I’m also interested in finding a boot bumper protector , I’ve only seen stickers that seem to quite fit the curve. For anyone else interested I got these door sill protectors from an OEM off...

    Dashcams - any successful installations or wise advice?

    So I started my attempt at a Viofo install today, front camera & fuse install was fine, camera seems to work ok, have 2 wires to fuse 1 for the accessory wire (yellow) and use 37 (drivers seat motor) for the red wire but getting the wire to the rear is OMG, I've ordered some fish cable puller...

    Dashcams - any successful installations or wise advice?

    I've read that be common, it can be helped by shielding the cable, to test if it's the camera of the cable you can try wrapping some foil around the power cable to the camera near the arial if that doesn't help try wrapping the camera. If it's the cable you could try replacing the power cable...

    Dashcams - any successful installations or wise advice?

    Interesting to read the replies , let us know how you get on TimBA, I still haven’t ordered my Dashcam but think I’ve settled on getting a Viofo or a Go Pro clone (better picture?) especially after watching this video where they discover the same kind of SOC chip & lens is in most Dashcams...

    MG5 - OBD to reset HV battery issue

    Not sure if anyone has mentioned this before but I checked my battery health via my OBD dongle the other day & it wouldn’t connect to the ECU but would connect to the ELM (that could be the other way around) . It worked fine last time I used it , then I tried connecting with the car off &...

    Route planning ?

    So true but have to admit I didn’t know what our max charge speed was, our MG5 seems to max out at 50kw? some chargers said they do 50+ but some charging was a bit slower than this. I never charged over 80%. We allowed plenty of time, I think the trick for us was not to rush any charging &...

    Dash cam battery drain with 24hr parking monitor ?

    In the end the Dashcam I got had the wrong orientation with the camera on the left hand side of the mirror, a bit useless for UK right hand drives I thought so returned it. Am looking into others ..
