    MG5 PCP Lease ending later this year

    I'm a few months away from either handing my car back or paying £10K to own it. The car has been faultless from new and has only cost me a replacemnet front window in repairs.

    MG5 electric tailgate finally Fitted.

    I love my MG5, but one thing I hated was the boot—it was a pain to close. Whenever I was holding a box, I had to rest it on the rear window ledge while using my other hand to close the boot. No matter how carefully I tried, it always slammed shut. I found a kit and was a bit sceptical at first...

    What a difference some believable weather makes!

    What a difference some warmer weather makes to efficiency!! This morning we drove to Birmingham in 6 degree temps and managed 3.7 miles to the kWh and this evening we pinged 4miles to the kWh in 16 degrees all the way home!! With that efficiency we’d just be pushing 200 miles, which I guess...

    MG5 SR 4th Service Advice!

    I bought a low mileage MG5 standard range last year. It's now due its 4th year service and I was wondering what others had paid for theirs to be done. A dealer in Dorset has quoted me the best part of three hundred quid. Does that seem to be the right amount? It's just coming up to 28,000 miles...

    Auto dip headlight - how to reactivate?

    Usually I don’t touch the auto dipping headlight function - it just works automatically. Tonight, coming home, it seemed to have deactivated itself. I could not reactivate it. Is there a knack or secret switch?

    Contact at MG?

    After 6 weeks of owing my brand new MG5 it went into the dealers as the 12V battery wasn't charging. On the first day they (correctly in my opinion) diagnosed a failed CCU. Since then it's been sat there (2 weeks on Monday) apparently still waiting for MG to authorize the part... I've tried...

  11. Goodbye MG5 - Hello EV9 !

    Yes, as the title suggests my trusty MG5 EV of three years is getting part exchanged for a mighty Kia EV9. As I've now retired we've decided to go down to one car, and it might as well be a large one! Really looking forward to getting it tomorrow as it is such an amazing vehicle to drive. A...

    Very conservative gom

    Do people find that their mg 5 has more power left than indicated at low charge? For instance charging to 100 percent from 9 percent took between 44 and 48 kWh (depending on losses). 48 delivered by Ohme so lose 10 percent ish. My battery takes about 55 kWh once degradation is accounted for...

    Taking MG5 on holiday to Belgium: tips & gripes

    Had a nice half term trip to Belgium this week in the MG5. Started off with a surprisingly traffic free run across the Dartford crossing and down to Folkestone on Monday. (Monday of half term seems the best day to travel) Incredibly one of the only two rapid chargers at Folkestone services was...

    Front Suspension Bushings

    Hey So my car has been making a creaking noise going over speedbumps the past few weeks. Got a mechanic to confirm it's the front suspension bushings that are on their way out. Anyone know where to get replacements? Apparently they're a bit hard to find for non-MG garages? Thanks all!

    Buying a three year old MG5.....

    Hi everyone. Sadly, my 2020 Renault Zoe has been totalled by an elderly driver who had a mini-stroke whilst pulling out of a side road...... I've had a drive in an MG5 EV and enjoyed it (non face-lift) - one of my friend's is head over heels in love with his. Would the MG5 be a worthy choice...

    New car £6k more than I paid

    I bought a MG5 Trophy in September. Having negotiated with a local dealer and bartering with a Carwow quote of £21,500 I got the car for £22,000. Curiosity got the better of me yesterday and I revisited Carwow and was amazed to see the lowest price (same car) was now £28,500. Others were north...

    Bump in rear footwell under carpet

    Hi all! We just took delivery of our replacement MG5 and it has a ‚bump‘ in the footwell behind the driver’s seat (right). It’s hard to capture, so I took a video. Has anyone experienced this before or happens to know what‘s underneath? Would be nice if it’s as simple as lodging something back...

    MG5 Upholstery Wear

    I have read some threads regarding seat wear in MG models. The photo below was taken from an advert on AutoTrader - the car has done 127,000 miles. Not sure of the year but it is a long range version. Obviously I have no idea how the vehicle has been used, for example as a Taxi or just a single...

    Spotlights for MG5 facelift

    MG5 facelift 24 plate. I would like to fit spotlights and wondered if anyone has found a supplier for suitable lights. The headlights don't give good coverage when turning in dark lanes and I don't think just making them brighter is the answer. I have seen adverts for spotlights to fit the the...
