    Won’t charge at 125kW charger

    Often with the bigger chargers I find the cable is too heavy so I hold it in until the lock engages, which seems to stop this.

    New Owner - Rumbling Noises and Software Glitches

    Check the date on the tyres to get some idea if it has been sat around for some time before being sold to you. If so you may have have a flat spot on the tyres......there might also be a manufacturing date somewhere in your paperwork.

    New Map 23Q4: Unable to install MD5 verification failure[Solved]

    Thank you so much to those who went before on this....deleting the 2 files solved it and my MG5 now has up to date maps! In fact so up to date that it has a new road on it.....that should have been finished by now (classic government project!) but isn't!!

    Rear screen washer failure.

    I just popped mine into the dealer and waited while they did it, it had come off the connector to the nozzle in my case and he fitted cable ties to keep it in place...no charge, 30mins and a free cup of coffee.

    Rear screen washer failure.

    It happened to me after 6 months of owning it.....was nothing to do with MG, I was diluting it too much by adding water. the issue is there is no heat generated with EV's. I actually think a small heater in the reservoir would help tremendously if required.

    How do you know balancing has finished on a facelift version?

    On the PFL On the PFL you could see it on the IHD pulling between 200 and 400w doing whatever it did for some time at the end of it's full charge.

    How do you know balancing has finished on a facelift version?

    So I have an Ohme charger and I suspect it isn't doing that....it seems to get a message back from the car at 100% and stops the session. Unlike in the PFL where as you say you can see the trickle charge taking place.

    How do you know balancing has finished on a facelift version?

    On the PFL you did this. Wait until it says on dashboard. "Finished Uncharged" White letters. If the message is Finished and it is in Green colour then it is balancing. Wait for the white message "Finished - Uncharged" and the whole process has been completed. But how do you know it is...

    MG5 won't turn off

    I'm sure I read somewhere that having the boot open can cause this issue, so is the boot lid closed properly or is it not registering closed properly?

    Rear screen washer failure.

    I had the same last year, took it into dealer and they fixed it FOC in 10 minutes. They added a cable tie to where it had popped off. I now use neat windscreen washer liquid to avoid it freezing. It can also come off in the pillar on the front screen where the pipe goes over the roof to the...

    MG5 Mk 1 v Mk2 - charging & boot size/shape

    I don't see why not...as far as I can see nothing changed in that area, apart from bigger wheels on the trophy. Personally given that aerodynamics are part of the key for EV's I would never fit them.....

    Another infrastructure rant!

    The real issue...CPS was a project funded by EU funds. Tory government hated Scotland and EU....go figure, sad but true.

    New car - Dirty engine bay?

    The same, but a really fine dust...my bet this has happened in China in one of their incredible dust storms.
