Certainly shouldn't, but not alot can be done about it now other than trying to treat it before it gets worse. The next owner of my car will be the scrapyard anyway, as I intend on running it into the ground, so in the long term it doesn't matter. But, it does matter that a 4 year old car with...

Few areas on mine I've found some rust this morning, this is along with the couple of paint bubbles on the rear arch I posted about a couple of months ago. It seems when the car was PDI'd they neglected to remove some blanking plugs in the bootlid and pieces of clear plastic covering the drain...

Second this, i was driving down a country road and the bumps were enough for me to be pressing the remote button in my pocket and sounding the horn. I leave the keys in the cup holder now.

Yeah that is poor. That price seems like the going rate until aftermarket parts are available. Cheapest ones on Ali Express for the Ei5 are £84.59 each.

What issues are you having with your current shocks? Mine seem fine, absorb bumps well enough, even with 5 people in the car.

Yeah i believe they use the same springs. Easy enough to check by looking at a listing for them or on Eibach's website. Edit: Looking at my receipt it states 2020> plus it would be unlikely SAIC changed the chassis for the facelift. Part Number is: E10-444-004-02-22 if you would like to check...

Haha sorry Salty! No offense intended. But I personally wouldn't fit them to a high performance car, perfectly fine on a runabout but I wouldn't trust them for speed or cornering 😬

You're fearing this a little too much, unless you are driving your car at the limits all the time. Pick a decent premium branded tyre with an XL rating and you'll be fine. Think of all the 2.5 ton + SUV's running around on low profile tyres. As long as you get a decent brand and not...

Liking the purple one, i like a deep metallic purple like on the old VW Corrado's 💜

Anything covered on paint defects? Had a bubble appear in the paint on the front wing too a few months back (not a stone chip or rust) but when I touched that it popped so I had to remove the paint and do a touch up. It was as if the paint hadnt adhered to the primer as that was still evident...

The only bodywork rust on my 27 year old Fiesta for comparison 😮‍💨

So, it appears the rust has started on my 2021 MG5. I wash it at least once a month so it's appeared within the last 30 days as the last time I washed it I also waxed the whole car so would of seen it then. No direct chip where the two bubbles have appeared, the paint has separated from the body...

I'll have them for £25 posted if you're willing?

This is the stuff they use, I bought some from a Nissan dealer for £26 in the expectation of doing it myself, as my cars 4 years old, but MG are doing it at its service this month anyway.

Sorry to hear about the issue you're having, I know MG aren't the quickest or the most prepared when it comes to repairs. How many miles has yours done? I racked up 41k in my previous MG5 over 3 years and the only issue it had was the heater stopped working which took 6 months throughout winter...

Mines booked in to MG Cheshire Oaks in August for 4th year service. £354 for the usual checks plus pollen filter, brake fluid or coolant change (cant remember which or if it was both) transmission oil change (only one i actually wanted doing) and new key batteries. First service was £90, second...

They look much better, i did mine back in October when I picked this one up, also moved the black bar above the numberplate so it was less obvious. Comparison between the old one i replaced and my new one (before I tinted the windows/fitted alloys and lowered).

So anything not listed on the "Warranty Exception" list is covered for 7 years? In this case, the headlights?

It won't be under warranty anymore. The only thing warranted for 7 years is the HV battery and 6 years for paint. Everything else expires between 3 and 36 months.

Yeah, it's not a cheap fix, even less so on something as new as these MG5's, so if I can do something to delay that, I will.
