    Do the alloy wheel bolts work ok with a steel spare? Looking into space saver. VW group kits much cheaper than MG but obviously need radius bolts. Would anyone have the thread lengths please, M12x1.5.

    Boot reopening after closing

    Hi all, I recently purchased an mg5 ev. Locks all worked OK originally. Now if car locked, I can open boot with boot button, but if I attempt to close it, it closes, I hear the lock engage, then it immediately unlocks again and boot opens. If I unlock the car, the boot will then lock correctly...

    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?

    My first winter weather with an EV and full charge range on my 24 facelift dropped to 180 miles. Just wondering if this was average for MG’s in cold weather? Admittedly the car lives outside and I am in North Wales.

    Is rust a problem on early MG5s?

    Hi folks, Maybe you can help me. I am often being told that "modern MGs rust", that they are not well protected and that after 4 years or so there are problems. Is this true at all with MG5s? There must be a number of you with older 5s now who can comment. I'd like to gather some evidence...

    Door Mirrors

    I've just bought an MG5 eV Long Range 2024 and, call me stupid, but I can't find the knob for re-aligning or folding the mirrors. It's not in the place shown in the Owners Manual (see the photo): Maybe it's manual, but I'm loth to force it as the Manual says you can damage the mirror mechanics...
