I bought it from someone here when I bought the pre-facelift MG5 and it has never been used. It fits in the spare wheel well. I've no idea if it will fit the new MG5 I am collecting next week but I no longer need it. It isn't MG but is, I think, a Volkswagen/Audi part but I was assured it will...

I am on holiday right now and have signed up for a new Trophy so the old Exclusive (LR) has to go - the part-ex offer is as-expected awful. So the car has 23k miles, full MG service history (but due in Dec, along with 1st MOT). It's in great condition apart from minor scratches on the rear...

I'm looking at chopping in the Mk1 MG5 for a Mk2 Trophy. The improvements seem to me to be be mainly cosmetic plus an app (is the screen larger too?). Also 360 camera. The battery size is the same I believe but would it charge faster on a higher power rapid? Is the boot the same size and...

My daughter has brought her new (to her) XS down this weekend. It's been on my charger overnight and has stopped charging so I am pretty sure it is 100% full - but (even with the help of the manual) I can't see where to confirm this in the menus. The old style fuel gauge shows it as full but...

My daughter has just bought a 21 reg ZS, in very nice nick and she's v happy with it. However she says the car keeps thinking there's people in the back when there isn't anything there, and shows the seatbelt warning light (doesn't give alarm though). Is that correct or is there something she...

Daughter is just buying a second hand MG ZS. Does that come with the free AA membership when MG serviced? If so, and the car has had a non-MG service and she gets it MG serviced will the MG cover be re-instated?

Having owned my MG5 Exclusive for over 2 years now, I have only just realised that the passenger seat appears to have no height adjustment. This realisation has come about as I now take an elderly mate out once a week since he had a medical event, and he can only get into the car head first as...

Apparently Tesla Model X SUVs and Model S are being discontinued in right hand drive. Quite a big decision really so it must be a significant challenge. https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/new-cars/tesla-cancels-right-hand-drive-model-s-and-model-x

I expect lots will have got this message but BP Pulse prices are changing. I don't use them but it doesn't feel like a negative change to me. The headings have misaligned on copy/paste, the second row should shift to the right one ( so AC 7kW is over £0.44) Customer Type Prices to charge...

I put a couple of favourite destinations into Waze the other day - home and work. I connect via AA Wireless. If I use the voice command and say Directions Home, it says calculating directions from <my home road name> to Home, or similar. Same with work. And I don't get a route. Anyone else...

https://cardealermagazine.co.uk/publish/tesla-prices-are-in-free-fall-as-latest-used-car-data-shows-huge-drops-in-value/277342 Glad to see my MG5 isn't in the EV depreciation top 10, which looks like this. Tesla Model 3 -23% Tesla Model S -22% Audi e-Tron -15% Jaguar I-Pace -14% Tesla Model X...

Although I have no imminent plans, someone has told me about this product which might be useful for anyone planning a motorway trip in the above countries. Does anyone have any experience of it?

Even though I don't use it. I thought I'd update the built-in SatNav. I'm using a 16Gb Cruzer Blade USB stick, formatted as FAT32. I have registered an account with Naviextras and selected MG5 EV, and the Toolbox says I have an "MG touch MG5 EV - Europe". So I've done the bit on the car to put...

I'm just looking at my return journey to Berkshire from Scotland on Saturday and the first charge place ABRP offers is the Porsche dealers near Carnforth. Zapmap also shows some around Edinburgh but they appear to be in university areas which in my mind may not be open to the public. Does the...

My cloak of invincibility seems to have stopped working for no apparent reason, should I do the spanner trick or take it back to the dealer? :)

I'm coming up for the first week of the Fringe next month. Staying more or less right on the Royal Mile, but down the "far end" such that I can avail myself of the reserved parking at our apartment. So I would like to leave Edinburgh with 100% charge, and I'm not going to do that by hanging...

I know I'd end up like this but I could be tempted with one of these https://www.autoexpress.co.uk/news/352253/new-electric-mg-cyberster-roadster-take-brand-back-its-roots

OK it's by Shell so has some bias but here is a useful little guide for anyone intending travelling abroad with their EV. https://shellrecharge.com/en-gb/blogs/a-complete-guide-to-electric-car-charging-costs-in-europe

There is frequently discussion here on ekeing out range at the expense of speed. Over a long mainly motorway journey I wondered how much difference it would make. As it's impossible to do the same journey twice in identical conditions, I plotted a route from my home town to Edinburgh using...
