    Charging speeds

    21 plate SR; best I've seen is a little over 40kW but 36kW is the norm. Perhaps it would be nice if it were quicker but to be honest never found it a problem.

    Zero Car Tax to £195/Yr.

    OK thanks, I've just found another page on the site that confirms this 🙄

    Zero Car Tax to £195/Yr.

    If I read the Government web site correctly EV's will not pay road tax until 2030: Vehicle tax rates

    Scheduled charging

    Thanks for responding, we are on Octopus Flux and I'm considering moving to Octopus Go. Principly to charge the house battery at a cheaper rate.

    Scheduled charging

    Despite owning our 5 over 3 years I've never done a scheduled charge overnight, with solar panels and low annual mileage it's not been necessary. So a sort of beginners question: We have an older SyncEV charger which has optional pulse charging or 'stay awake'. Do I need either of these? Or will...

    So what range were you getting in recent cold weather?

    We drove back from Cornwall in mostly 3°C a couple of weeks ago, our 2021 SR5 averaged 3.9 miles/kWh with average speed of 46mph. That's the lowest I've seen on a long run, down to low temperature and, for me, I did step on it a bit up the M5.

    Rear offside suspension clonking...

    Ours starting making a slight knocking when cold when about 18 months old. I forgot to mention it at the first two services and at the 3rd it was just out of warranty. It's weeping very slightly now. I wonder if Cleveley EV have an alternative brand shock?

    Car Cover

    We bought ours 3 years ago from Every Car Covered, wasn't cheap but works a treat; dead easy to fit even when it's windy and despite what people say has not done any damage to the paintwork. On the contrary it's stopped cats scratching it.

    Boot liner

    Just had our 3rd annual service at A. E. Wilcox in Wickwar, amazingly they had the genuine MG boot liner at £45 plus VAT. They have one more left if anyone is interested.

    Octopus and Export payments

    In my experience Octopus Energy's advertised industry leading support has major issues when it comes to money coming our way. I've not had your specific problem but getting excess credit back is like getting blood from the proverbial. In my recent case it took 3 weeks to get the money back and...

    MG 5 - Car "dies" in traffic queue with manual parking brake applied

    Perhaps what I really meant was Auto Hold ? Better have a look in the car today!

    MG 5 - Car "dies" in traffic queue with manual parking brake applied

    I frequently use Hill Hold in hilly stop start traffic, makes driving so easy. To pull away you need to press the accelerator pedal very gently initially for a very smooth take off.

    Updating the built-in satnav

    Once I got a smaller 16GB usb key and formatted it FAT32 before putting it in the car the update went smoothly. I think the instructions are in the infotainment system manual on my early standard range 5.

    Solar compatible Home Chargers Poll

    I cast my vote for the SyncEV as I'm really pleased with it after about 2 years of use. I work from home and we generally only cover about 3000 miles/year so even in winter we rarely were drawing power from the grid. It's very easy to vary the charging current incrementally from 6 to 32 amps in...

    Key battery warning

    Key warning appeared a few times whilst I was out this morning so changed the battery following the simple instructions in the handbook without any problems and car still functioning as it should.

    Key battery warning

    It's a 2021 standard range MG5, I've never heard anyone else mention this alert before. Will be keeping an eye open for it reappearing over the next few weeks. Cheers, will make sure I have some in stock. ?

    Key battery warning

    Loading the car up yesterday with the key in my pocket. When I got in the car to drive off a warning flashed up on the screen; low key battery warning. I've never seen this before and it disappeared after a few seconds. I wouldn't think the battery is low as ths car was serviced about 3 months...

    MG5 2021 REAR SUSPENSION NOISE

    Thanks, better give my dealer a call. Not very promising as car has only done 7,500 miles!

    MG5 2021 REAR SUSPENSION NOISE

    Yes exactly the same issue on our 2021 SR MG5, seems worse in colder weather which suggests a dodgy shock absorber or Bush. Will make some enquiries with my favourite dealer when I have time.

    100% to zero (well almost) - 250 mile range test MG5 Excite LR (pre-FL - 2021)

    That agrees with what I'm getting from my 2021 standard range model on a regular 180 mile motorway/A road drive, fab cars!
