    Problems with non-MG EVs

    Mercs also suffer with front suspension problems just as they come out of warranty and they also suffered with a coolant problem. I looked at getting a used EQA 250+ but I'm glad I didn't. There's a class action being taken against Jaguar at the moment due to the poor design and materials of...

    Three Months In An S5

    They are not needed because modern LED lights have a flat beam so you don't get the scattered light, as you do from traditional headlights, bouncing back off the fog causing glare. Fog lights were fitted low down so the light undercut the fog and reduced the amount reflected back into the...

    No 80% charge limit

    You can only set the charge limit on the LR (64kW) batteries.

    sensor problem

    Leave the AC/heating on. You've already taken the hit in mileage by demisting the screen up so just leave it ticking over instead of keep switching it off and on again when it has to start from scratch.

    I'm joining the S5 forum

    If you read my later post #10 it explains that my current insurer (Aviva) did insure the car it's just that they classified it as a hatchback not an SUV so when doing the search manually as opposed to using the reg number it didn't show up.

    231 long range 100% charge?

    It'll help speed up charging on a fast charger if it's cold and if you are short of time. Most of the time it's not worth it as it uses the equivalent of about 35 miles of range to pre-heat the battery.

    Can you set the boot to unlock with the rest of the car? - S5 Excite

    I've switched that off. Trying to get the correct foot swipe and nearly over balancing combined with accidentally closing it when reaching for something towards the back of the boot was more trouble than it was worth.

    231 long range 100% charge?

    The range shown by the GOM (Guess 'o' meter) is based on the historic amount of miles per kWh the car has used. This is affected by how you've driven the car, if you've used the heating, and the ambient weather conditions.

    Do the same Bosch wiper blades fit the MGS5 as on the MG4? https://amzn.eu/d/bTFpZS1

    It's ironic that the member without a MG wins Top Contributor 🤣 Not that I'm bitter and twisted although I'm working on it.

    What you having for your Tea/Dinner, tonight. ?

    Too right. I live on my own and usually go to my brother's for lunch with my two nieces but this year they both went abroad for Christmas and my brother didn't want to cook lunch just for the three of us. I'm doing well for Christmas meals this year as the previous Friday a group of us went to...

    What you having for your Tea/Dinner, tonight. ?

    Had a ham and mustard sandwich followed by Comte and Cheddar cheeses with Ritz crackers after an expensive but disappointing lunch. SPOILER ALERT: Major moan ahead. First time ever I went with my brother and his misses to the New Bath Hotel in Matlock for Christmas lunch. The lettuce in the...

    What you having for your Tea/Dinner, tonight. ?

    Not sure what I'm having for Christmas tea yet, it depends on the size of the portions for lunch. But I do know breakfast will be bacon, eggs, tomatoes, mushrooms and toast with a cup of builders.

    Rain repellent.

    In theory a clean polished car will have a lower drag coefficient (I got a dictionary for Christmas 😁) than a dirty one. Testing it out would mean a wind tunnel as in the real world there's too many variables which can skew the results. Rain, temperature, wind, road surface, etc. including the...
