    The Problems with PCP

    I think you've thrown us a googly but I agree with @MG Clive. The answer to life, the universe and everything is 42.

    Picked the new car up today

    My 3 year service plan costs about the same and also includes a courtesy car or collection/delivery from home, MOT and free puncture repairs. My hand-over was a only long enough to do the paperwork but I'd had a 4 hour test drive a few months earlier and my previous car was the MG4 so I knew...

    Horn sounds when locking the car with the boot open

    You need to get the dealer to look at that. I've just tried stopping mine from opening and it stops opening with very little pressure.

    Pay per mile. Another blow for EV drivers

    My 2.0l diesel Focus was £245 and my mates 2.0l diesel Mondeo is £20. I know. My Ford Focus would average 28 mpg and a lot of EV owners will get more than 3 miles/kWh.

    Pay per mile. Another blow for EV drivers

    Before you sell your EV here are some back of fag packet maths. Assuming you get 50 mpg out of your petrol car which equals 11 miles per litre. At the moment the average cost per litre of petrol is £1.36 which equals 12.36p/mile. An EV getting 3 miles per kWh which costs 7.5p/kWh equals...

    Brand new s5 boot opening problems

    We didn't need those tree air fresheners in those days as the smell of WD40 would be a permanent fixture :D

    Winter range...

    Using it for short journeys especially in cold weather is probably why the range has dropped as you are heating the car's cabin from cold multiple time as opposed when you do a long journey and the internal temperature only has to be heated up once and then kept at a constant temperature. The...

    Bored ?..... do this !

    My brother's daughter found a banana skin under the driver's seat of her father's car when she was helping him clean it ready for their annual holiday to Brittany. She then found out the last time her father had eaten a banana in the car was on the previous year's holiday which would explain...

    Brand new s5 boot opening problems

    It seems to be a common calibration issue or as in your case the mechanism has "set" with a lack of use and owners are discovering a few different ways of curing the problem. Let the dealer know how you've fixed it so hopefully they will report back to MG and include the check in the PDI.

    Bored ?..... do this !

    And you could do the work yourself with a bit of knowledge, owner's workshop manual and a set of spanners and know if you cocked it up you wouldn't brick the car unless you got the timing belt wrong.

    12V power socket - how to protect the battery

    I got the Goodyear cordless tyre inflator as I wanted a brand I recognised and that would hopefully meet the UK regulations for charging safety and not a corner cutting Chinese import. https://amzn.eu/d/5PueCrW

    Horn sounds when locking the car with the boot open

    The boot lid will only give him a light tap on the head and then stop. Try it out, I have 😁 I unloaded my two greyhounds from the boot and pressed the close button before realising I'd left my walking shoes just inside the boot. I thought I could grab them as the boot was closing...wrong!

    Can't charge

    That explains it. It's your charger that's compatible with Octopus Intelligent Go because as @LenEV2016 pointed out MG haven't released their API for Octopus to control the car's charging.

    MG S5 charging port light stopped working

    I'd let the dealer know that the fix was only temporary but you'll wait for the first service for them to look at it again so it will be on the car's record.
