    Tesla Supercharger Issue MG5 LR

    Good idea, but I have an MG service contract for them, I wonder if you can move dealers. Hi Tips, could you let us know what Dealership that is that did the upgrade? I've phoned a few & they don't know about it & the MG bulletin still says the 3 main model numbers, min is the same as yours...

    Tesla Supercharger Issue MG5 LR

    So, I took my MG5 to Chiswick MG for its third service and first MOT today. I asked about the Tesla update, which was supposed to be done last year, but it doesn’t seem to be working. After telling the service guy about this, he quoted me £80 for it, but he said he’d ask the service boss. I was...

    VOTE TESLA SUPERCHARGES with MG5

    I tried ours on some new Tesla Super chargers in Kingston John Lewis car park & got an error the car wasn’t compatible, I did ask on the last service if it should work & they said yes. Guess I’ll ask again at its next service in March.

    AA Cover free or not?

    Thanks Gomev, that’s what I thought, weird MG Chiswick sales & service seem to know nothing about MG assistance, the AA we’re very polite & would have saved me so much time if they had told us when I first called we had two breakdown cover contracts, I had to ask her to check the second time, it...

    Would an MG5 be a good fit for me?

    We love our MG5 , 2 years old now , but bought it secondhand & it was a huge saving. As long as you plan your charging ahead of your travel , you’ll be fine. Fantastic car .

    Scratches on paint

    That’s great idea, I might try a matt finish, does it have to be any particular vinyl wrap ? Is it the self adhesive type? I didn’t realise you could use water to float it on.

    passenger wiper

    Our wipers make a terrible noise as the windscreen dries, I replaced them but they still make a noise. Not sure what else to try. The auto wiper seems to have a mind of its own .
