I looked into getting a cable for charging from points that do not provide one.
I think what I need is a Type 2 to Type 2, 3 phase 32 amp. I would welcome confirmation or an alternative.
But how long does the cable need to be to access most untethered charging points?
Surely not 10...
Tri-coat red paint kit. Three unused aerosol cans - base coat, colour coat and lacquer top coat. Unopened box as delivered from supplier Wilson, Lendrum and Weir.
For sale. A 16 inch emergency spare wheel, tyre and jack kit. This was bought from the MG dealer who sold me the MG 5 pre face lift long range car.
The wheel was used for about 20 slow miles to get home after a puncture.
The whole kit cost me £245 and I’m asking for £145 plus delivery.
Quick question: will the spare tyre from a PFL Excite fit the FL SE? Both are 16 inch
Thanks
The answer is yes, so that’s saved me the time, trouble and cost of getting a new one.
Next question is how do I get to the wheel nuts? Is this just a hub cap that pulls off?
Does anyone know if MG are looking at V2G capability for any of the the existing models as an upgrade or any of the future models?
Regards, Chris.

First Post.
When I was looking through the various mods and upgrades I couldnt find anyone that had fully De-Badged the rear on and MG5 LR.
So I did it :) After some advice from Paulie I heated, pealed and cleaned off the badge juice. I can confirm the main rear MG badge is just stuck on...
Hi everyone,
I bought my car of a main dealer in July 2024 which it was just serviced at 15k miles.
I do a lot of milage for my work so now I am at 30500 miles, and the car is booked for 30k service at the same dealer next Wednesday.
All my cars in the past used to be out of warranty so I am...
MG5 SR Excite: need to delete sat nav history for handover.
I’ve gone through the manual and it doesn’t say anything about how to delete the history in the sat nav.
I’ve had a play about with the options in the car and nothing I can see to clear it in one go or manually delete each search.
I...
I came across this video:
They use black vinyl wrap to cover up all the chrome trim, apart from the front badge. I'm not really one for cosmetic mods but I have to say it looks rather better than the original. I don't own an MG5 but if I did I would be rather tempted to do it to the front end.
I've realised that my MG5 isn't balance charging once it gets to 100%. Previously the charge rate would taper off as it gets closer to full, dropping steadily from 7.3kW to around 2kW before spending a couple of hours with power as low as 500W while the cells balance.
Now it's getting down to...

2023 MG5 SE. The anti-theft alarm keeps going off in middle of the night. No obvious triggers for it. I’ve checked all windows, doors and boot are properly closed. Is there anything else I should look for? Is there a way to lock the car without arming the alarm?
For extra info, I noticed a...
Hi all,
I mainly need a bit of emotional support and vent. Picked up a brand new MG5 Trophy three weeks ago and am driving it with more care than any car before - never bought a brand new car before this!
Then, one morning this week, I approached a small obstacle in the road. It looked small...
Hi All, I have just come back from a day out with kids and wife at an animal sanctuary about 30 miles away. Trip out fine. I drove. On way back I was exhausted half way through journey so swapped with wife (who rarely drives it as it’s my commuting car). I dozed off. When we got back I woke up...
Picked up my Face Lift SE today, waiting for the old SR Excite to get collected.
The SE seems a much improved car, love the trim inside and infotainment system.
Sure I’ll have a few questions over the coming days
