    I bet the locals call it something like Mdap Drive

    Yes (month and a half MGS5 review)

    Good question. The regen is only on the back wheels as the car uses the traction motor for that purpose. Retardation 1 and ABS would give you more braking control but in the situation you describe I doubt it would make a lot of difference to the outcome for most drivers.

    S5 arrived today as planned - couple of questions.....

    As far as I remember you adjust the display brightness with the lights off and again after turning the lights on and it remembers the two settings. The alternative is to swipe down from the top of the screen and turn the display off.

    S5 arrived today as planned - couple of questions.....

    As another owner who previously had the MG4 it's surprising some of the differences but familiar at the same time. The auto-lights on the MG4 were better in my opinion and like you I've found they are not as good at recognising grey conditions. They will need turning on manually in those...

    European driving advice sought

    I wouldn't bother about deactivating the "bum switch on" whilst on the train. The car uses very little power in the ready state and the main battery will be keeping the 12V battery charged.

    Winter coming 12V battery

    The MG4 also charges the 12V battery from the main battery when it's locked. I have previously posted screen shots of my battery showing 14.7V after being unused for over 24 hours on the MG4 forum. If yours doesn't then a software update might be needed. I assume the MGS5 does the same but as...

    Standout items from Everything Electric Farnborough day one.

    Harrogate's only 140 miles from Lockerbie so with a bit of eco driving and a squeaky bum you should be able to do it without recharging and it's the same distance from Paignton to Cheltenham

    Passengers side door mirror

    Try soaking a cloth in a 50:50 vinegar and cooled boiled water mix and placing it over the marks for 5 to 10 minutes before rinsing well.

    Driver seat plastic frame easy to break?

    The front seats are the same design as the MG4, although with a different covering, and no-one has reported those seats breaking in the three years since its release. The only defect on the MG4 seats was the side bolster showing signs of wear and in some cases the stitching giving way. Also I'm...

    Keep

    I have the same problem. I don't seem to be getting any lighter either despite regular use and considered refuelling 😁

    MGS5 in the wild?

    I don't think it will be doing the charging socket much good either.

    Brake Lights on Regen

    If you look at the power metre in the driver's display when it gets to -7ish the brake lights should come on. That's what happens on the MG4 so I expect the same on the MGS5 although I haven't personally checked.

    MGS5 Locking Wheel Bolts

    I'm going to ask the dealer to fit them at the first service unless it needs to go in before hand. My MG4 didn't have locking wheel nuts and I haven't seen any reports of their wheels being nicked so I'm not unduly worried.

    MGS5 auto dipping headlights

    If they put the aerial on the roof (e,g. in a shark's fin) instead of using the bottom of the rear window or like Ford do who also use the rear window but they use all the heating elements instead of the bottom two and that works

    Intermittent problems with Android Auto

    Perhaps he means that you tap the phone icon at the bottom of the infotainment screen.

    Oh this is good.

    As an ex MG4 "mob" member it's nice to see that MG have listened to some criticisms and corrected them. It's a pity they can't retrospectively update the previous models.
