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.
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.
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...
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.
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...
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
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...
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.
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.

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
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.
