I have put my favourite CD's ( yes I am one of those that still have hundreds) on a memory stick (16Gb). I plugged this in to one of the USB sockets in the front under the sliding cover. Works fine but finding and selecting tracks or albums on the move is a bit fiddly - not really recommended...

Thanks to everybody. Yes I am using auto high beam. I will have a chat with the dealers to see what they say. Not had this problem on any other car so may be a software glitch or switch problem that will hopefully be ironed out at some time. I will carry one experimenting to see what affects...

No just the regular pull the stalk toward me and then release - as on most cars , but it tends to leave the full beam on! It has been mentioned by others on another post so I was wondering if there was a solution or is this a trip back to the dealers?

Full beam head lamp sticking has been mentioned in another thread and I did not wish to high jack their question. When I use the stalk to flash my headlamps they tend to stick on full beam and have to be activated again to release - or basically fiddle around until they go to dipped. This is...

So you have noticed this extended flash of the high beam too. I thought I was alone and it was probably me! Is this a problem that I should return to the dealer to sort or just one of those things we just have to live with. I must say I have never experienced this on any other car. Any...

Hello Mr Wright, Thank you for taking the time to make this reply which I take in good spirt but disappointment. I shall explain why and hopefully evidence. Your point about me not knowing that you were not able to limit charge to 80% and that this is a novice question - would appear I am not...

Sorry for not being knowledgeable about every aspect of the car. Clearly not as clever as you. If everyone knew all there was to know about the car then forums like this would not be needed. I raised an issue that I thought would be of interest to many. Having looked at the MG handbook again I...

Thanks for this, so the car is setting the charge rate that it can mange. So everything is as it should be.

I have returned from a relatively long journey - round trip Chelmsford to Norwich 165 miles - more of that on another thread later. I am with Octopus Go so have the 5p rate 1230 to 0430. Been charging over night and still on going. Max charge through the cheap time was just over 6KW/hr. Then...

Thanks, this is just what I wanted. No replacement parts which is what I expected but also lots of things that relate to the HV system which is good. Combined with the AA cover this does seem reasonable. The AA cover is not needed for me but is certainly good for others. It was mentioned to me...

Thanks for this sensible answer. I am still trying to establish what is actually done at the first service? I seem to think that any diagnostic equipment will be expensive but there again you plug it in and get a read out. Battery management seems to be automatic and any problems should be...

Ok so you have raised the issue of a garages hourly rate and £150 is pretty good for a franchised dealer. I have only had this vehicle just over a month but my previous EV, I had for nearly 2 years and the service cost £149 which included the cabin filter. Seems the MG first service is just a...

Hello again everyone. Thank you for all your replies. Pretty much as I thought - there is no way to make any setting to make charge go only to 80%. Once again bit of a fail for MG - having made recommendation and then giving no way of compliance other than best guess and experienced judgement...

Can I limit charging to 80% and if so how? I have a MG5 LR exclusive. This is my second EV after a 40kw Leaf. There is much talk about charging regularly only up to 80%. I seldom do very long journeys so I could easily manage on this. I am with Octopus Go and my smart charger automatically...

Bit of a safety fail this. When slowing down with KERS and adaptive cruise do the brakes operate as well? If they do then the brake lights should operate to warn other drivers. Decrease in speed can be quite dramatic at times so not brake light activation is a bit of a worry!

The read out for the 12v battery is excessive. A simple warning light similar to all other cars would do the trick!

Hello everyone. Lots of comments here about what value and how cheap the service is. I kind of disagree. But can someone please say what parts are replaced and what is actually done? £150 just to kick the tyres and a cuddly toy does not seem reasonable to me.
