    Buying a three year old MG5.....

    Yup! I have a 2022 Long range that saved me when the van in front didn't have any brake lights... Go to youtube and look at some of the |James and Kate videos... I'm on 22,000 miles, 22 plate and no problems to report... It's like owning a Passat, with batteries instead of an engine...

    Tesla Supercharger Issue MG5 LR

    I doubt there are enough owners affected to make a class action worth their while... The other problem is that for most dealers it's part of a franchise. Richmond, for instance, are Hyundai, Skoda, MG and Suzuki, with MG probably the smallest part of their business. Last year, they moved the MG...

    Good point. I think it's MG service plan. The dealer I bought the car from sold me a generic plan of their own which I cancelled once I realised. The company it was with cancelled with no problem and the lass I dealt with said they had a lot of mis-sold MG plans that they'd refunded on...

    22 plate LR pre-face lift... Richmond Cars (Southampton) Ltd who have never heard of such a thing, in spite of promise to check with MG technical.

    EV opposition in the media is ramping up

    The big problem with manufacturers is that they make the cars they want to, rather than the cars we want. The MG5 was a big suceess as it was not too complicared and near enough to a normal estate and not 'space age'. Look at Jaguar with their next offering, I don't see it ticking the boxes of...

    EV opposition in the media is ramping up

    Ah! My brother's favourite YT channel... along with the scruffy, unwashed oik that has the EV Carnage propaganda, sorry YT channel... My bother is still convinced that my MG5 will turn out to be my worst ever purchase, in spite of it being quite economic and pretty much faultless for the last 2...

    EV opposition in the media is ramping up

    Gridserve's new app can show how fast you're charging and will message you at 80% battery if you've wandered off. Pretty impressed with it... and with 2 trips to Leeds and back this month, the discount they were offering was welcome! As for that video... they shouldn't be allowed out without...
