    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...

    Using App with MG5

    I wonder what others experience is when using the so called Smart App with the MG5. I have the facelift version of the car and to say the app is a tad quirky would be an understatement. It picks and chooses when it will or won't connect to the car with no apparent common denominator. The other...

    Need a charging cable MG5 to an external rapid charging station

    Could anyone please advise the best/economical place to procure a charging cable for my MG5 to a rapid charging station such as the ones found in supermarkets. I didn’t realise that one isn’t included and evidently Halfords don’t sell them. Thanks in anticipation

    Hi, is anyone else suffering a glitch with the iSmart app? From yesterday onwards, I can open the app, but it's not retrieving any data from the MG5. Any tips on how to escalate? The last time the app failed, I emailed both the email listed on Playstore and the email inside the app but never...

    Kia vehicle to load adapter

    Does anyone know if the Kia adapter will work with the MG5, by any chance? It has a really nice design, looks much nicer than the Screwfix twin socket on a charging lead effort that MG are selling!

    Rust proofing

    I'm looking at applying some of the Bilt Hamber rust proofing products to my pre-facelift MG5. Does anyone know how many spray cans I'll need? Aside from the brakes, are there any surfaces I shouldn't spray or cavities I shouldn't fill?

    Hi, I’m now in to 2 weeks of PFL or Mk1 MG5 ownership. The car was first registered in 2022, so will have first MOT later in 2025.

    How's speedo accuracy?

    Hi all, just musing whilst I wait for my car to arrive. How's the speedometer for accuracy on the MG5? Our current LEAF always over reads by 10% by design!
