    MG S5 (formerly ES5)

    I'm very excited about this model .I love my MG4 but my Mrs likes to be sitting a bit higher up and I've never been a fan of the ZS .This could be just the thing !

    Just taken the plunge and I already need more advice!

    Back to Invoice: Pays the difference between what your car insurer will pay out and the original amount you paid for the car or the amount you owe to a car finance company. Back to Value: Similar to Back to Invoice, but based on the car's value rather than the purchase price. Vehicle...

    Just taken the plunge and I already need more advice!

    GAP insurance is often included in the first yr of car insurance so I'd recommend that the OP check. Also there are a number of different types .Shop around and make sure you're buying the right type relative to how you've financed the car . In addition I have always preferred supaguard...

    SE SR failing to pre-heat while plugged in

    Sorry I don't quite understand . You can adjust the internal temp of the car via the app .But it retains the temp that was set in the car when shut down .So if you pre heat to 28 degrees then reduce to 23 degrees then shut down the car, the app retains the 23 degrees .

    SE SR failing to pre-heat while plugged in

    This may be a really silly question but have you checked the temp setting via the app ? Afaik it retains the last setting so if you had it at 21 degrees and it's arctic outside then it won't heat the cabin beyond 21 degrees

    Recurring A/C Odour in MG4 - Seeking Advice

    I don't suffer with any smells but I did notice that when I first had the car you could feel a gentle breeze of air being drawn into the cabin when the a/c was off . Since having the latest SE update i can't feel it. Maybe the updates have changed something .

    The EV is FULL

    You're right. The Master tech at my dealership is on this forum although I believe he just lurks . He's advised me that he's gathered more information from members here than from MG

    Condensation in the cabin in cold weather

    What I said pretty much (Except the humidifiers, which I haven't needed) One extra point . Obviously the HVAC will have to work even harder if there's more people in the car. So if you regularly carry passengers you may need to turn the recirc off earlier.

    Condensation in the cabin in cold weather

    I agree, except about sucking in outside air. You need to suck in outside air after a while . I've not had any problems at all living in Essex which tends to be more rainy. I was in the Motor trade for 15 or so years and we were always taught : When cold/damp : When first setting off . Air set...

    New owner of an an MG4 - Servicing Costs?

    I paid about 80 quid for my first service and about 120 for my second It may pay to shop around tho' as even dealers within the same group seem to have different pricing structures

    Unfixable MG4 Trophy?

    It's things like this rather than software niggles etc that are making me seriously consider whether to have another MG in the future
