    Just joined the clan... ;)

    Well it looks like I'm about to become an MG5 owner! My attention got caught by the current large discounts on offer so I went along and had a haggle with our local dealership, the end result being I bought a new Trophy in Cosmic silver for £21k. Should be with me in around 2 weeks. I look...

    Archived MG5 spare wheel & new tyre

    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...

    Would anyone be interested in a wheel swap?

    I'm thinking about getting a new MG5 Trophy, but don't like the wheels. Would anyone with a nearly new SE with unmarked wheels be interested in a free Trophy wheel upgrade by swapping wheels with myself if I get one? You would need to be within a reasonable driving distance of DN37, and I'd...

    Auto hold failure

    Out of the blue (or red), a warning light came on my 70 plate MG5 stating Auto hold failure whilst driving. Didn't think any more as it didn't affect the drive until I slowed down below 5mph and then the handbrake initiated abruptly I was in rush hour traffic so the last 10 mins were horrendous...

    Granny charger

    More questions. If I'm away at Daughter's and need to use Granny from a socket what is the best course of action to stop the plug getting to hot etc. Charge for 2 to 3 hours then leave an hour? and restart and do same? Will it affect the battery to do this? Charge overnight for 8-10 hours. I...

    Buying a Frunk - recommendations?

    Hi all. I've seen a few posts from people who have done DIY frunks, but little about the ones that are available for sale now. I see EV Accessories Ireland now have one for the MG5 Under Bonnet solutions for your electric car - costing Euro 150 There is also one from Frunk AT MG5 Electric frunk...

    MG5 keys - one or two key blades?

    My MG5 has two keys, but only one has the key blade. I assumed the other one had dropped out without me noticing. I had the car in for a service last week and asked them to order a spare. This seems to be a convoluted process but what surprised me was that the dealer said the cars only come with...

    Alloys flaking and going black from the inner side - think MG will warranty it?

    As the title says, the alloys are in pretty bad condition and are flaking from the inside out - think MG will warranty or shall I run them until MOT says I no longer can? I've not curbed them/etc they just look like poor dip quality from the factory if I'm being honest.

    Mode switch not working

    Noticed the last few drives that I can’t select Sport. Am able to select Eco but once in Eco I can’t change back to normal. Is there a way to reset the car or something or should I take it to the dealer to look at? (24 plate 5 SE)

    Tyre Rotation and jacking points

    My FL has done 20,000 miles and the fronts look a little worn at the edges bus still have lots of like left in them. The rears look almost new. So, I'm thinking of swapping fronts to backs. I have a small trolley jack and some axle stands. Is there anything I should be especially wary of if I do...

    Traction

    Anyone else find that their front wheels spin on a wet road when accelerating? I’m not a foot to the floor type but when accelerating up a hill in a wet road the wheels spin briefly - it would be great to have a dual motor in these wagons

    Charging query

    Hi. Have now been able to get a wall charger so the search is on for the car (Won't be new). However on reading the manual online it has a bit about charging which I'm confused about or am I being stupid! The first one is about the charging port will lock when the car is locked and if the car...

    New owner charging query

    Hi All, I am a new owner to a 2022 LR Exclusive. It has done almost 50k and has 95% battery health. It replaces a very old but reliable Skoda estate. I do an almost 70mi round trip commute. 20 mi on urban roads (with heavy traffic), 20mi on national speed limit dual carriageway and 30 mi on...

    Wobbly drivers seat

    My drivers seat has started a very unsettling wobble (front to back not side to side) , as if a screw holding it to the rails has come loose. Anyone got any ideas or seen similar before I get investigating on the weekend?

    Resale Value

    I'm starting to think about the next car so did an online valuation of my three year old MG5 LR Exclusive. I was expecting to see a decent drop, but was taken aback to see that it's worth around £12,000 now. Down from £28,000 when new - ouch... Not great for me if/when I sell, but man - what a...

    Phone contacts

    Is there a way to store phone contacts to save having to scroll through the contacts list? It’s quite dangerous having to scroll whilst driving and most other cars I’ve had allow you to set a favourites button. I assume the voice control button on the steering whee is to speak and ask it to...

    3 Year Service - Yay or Nay?

    Hi all. My MG5 is coming up to 3 years old. I've only done 12,500 miles to date - no long trips to France this year! I've done annual servicing and this year MOT is due for the first time. Given that I forked out for a 2 year / 20,000 mile service (fairly major one) last year I am seriously...

    CCS Charging in Europe PFL SR

    I'd be interested to read how other people have gotten on with CCS Charging in Europe in a non updated pre-facelift MG5. I've tried a couple so far, the Super U CCS chargers and the cheapo IECharge network without any success in getting them to connect or charge. I'm guessing it's down to...

    I have an original set of touch up paint for an MG5. We no longer have the car. The paint has been opened but is free if collected or I am just asking for cost to cover postage.
