Indeed, one might hope the new MG4 will be rather better in this regard. BUT, if one takes behaviour of the S5 in this area as a "guide" to how any new MG works, the omens are not good. Everything that @siteguru lists for his "older" MG4 also applies to the "new" S5, and it has cameras and no...

Your profile says you have the ZS, so presumably that was the price for that model. I think the @Vitesse67 is interested in the S5.

Ditto here! But not for me to be listening to those Rock groups!!! 🫢 🫢

That is not wholly correct, or there is a way to avoid the problem, at least! If you use the Infotainment screen "Power off" tile and any lights have been turned on manually and not already switched off, there will be a bong and a message on the driver display screen.

Again, I can only speak from what I have experienced. I bought my pre-registered S5 from Stoneacre in Derby, knowing full well and telling them that I would not be using them for servicing etc, since the return journey home to garage was over 100 miles. In the meantime my wife had had her...

Fully agree, and have experienced exactly what @Ian Key says. Following the necessity to call out AA Assistance when the 12v battery in my S5 went completely flat, in order to "reset" everything I needed to drive about 200 yards or so and the system was fully "back to normal".

Loss? No, not in my experience. Gain? Much less driving (and time) to get to the local dealer.

Yes to first question, no to second (as I understand the terms of the MG Warranty).

Yes I did. Agreed, but I took out the 5 year plan which, including two MoTs, totals £1,145.37. To me, that seems a very good deal! So my monthly cost is just over £20 for the length of the contract. However, I do accept that there is a clause in the contract that says: Payment for any...

I have an MG Service Plan and its price is £114 for the first service. Work is actually carried out by my local dealer, Evans Halshaw, Grantham.

Just to add to this (yet another MG) mystery: Occasionally I hear the warning bongs whilst still inside the car after pressing the on-screen tile to Power off and clicking the Confirm button. (No message on either the Driver screen or the Infotainment screen.) Not yet heard any bongs when...

Agreed, but the same setting screen is also in the iSMART app, under "Charging Management" (scroll down the home page). Setting 100% here will also "reset" the car level, but the point about setting it back to 80% once the initial charge is completed is vital!

But what about the setting for maximum charge level? In both the car and the app you can specify exactly what that level should be. Have you set yours to 100%? I find that changing the setting in the iSMART app also "resets" the one on the car so 100% is achieved. By the way, your forum...

Not necessarily true, sorry. I bought mine from Stoneacre, Derby, a distance from me of over 50 miles each way. All my servicing (including my ongoing issue of the 12v battery going flat) is being handled by Evans Halshaw in Grantham, a mere 15 miles away. I also have a Service Contract...

@MG Clive Perhaps this thread should also be merged with the one that @Ian Key mentions?
