    Pay per mile. Another blow for EV drivers

    I think they were also getting a lot of aggro from not just EV owners but the car industry too. Ford boss Lisa Brankin had also waded in warning it wasn't the right time to tax EVs https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c5yp1ky55g1o

    Pay per mile. Another blow for EV drivers

    Heidi Alexander, the transport secretary, has ruled out a pay-per-mile scheme for the UK. Looks like the anti-ev press have jumped on a rumour and run with it. Mind you its taken the government long enough to either confirm or deny it.

    Will the MGS5 get OTA updates?

    I can understand your dealer's point of view having had the experience with updates for the MG4. Some updates created other problems and in hindsight some owners wished they hadn't had it done.

    MGS5 - Underrated

    It might be for the MG4 but it could and should be longer for the MGS5.

    Slow charge port cover.

    To be honest it wasn't until I read the whole sentence in context that I realised it meant the 19th century and looking on line sometimes its a capital C and other times its a small c and to confuse everyone more the C can go before the 19 (C19).

    MGS5 Emergency Key

    The mechanical key for the MGS5 is different to the MG4 in that it's a separate item and isn't contained within the fob. If you have an MG4 its worth checking that there is a mechanical key in both fobs as some have been supplied with it in only one of them. Also if you have a battery...

    Slow charge port cover.

    Odd as he/she didn't alter my post when I used 19C . Perhaps they thought I was referring to 19 degrees Centigrade 🤣

    MGS5 - Underrated

    The semi-regular Sainsbury's delivery driver this week liked the look of my MGS5 saying he likes the aggressive look but did ask why do manufacturers insist on putting tiny rear wipers on cars nowadays.

    Odd work practices

    @T1 Terry your reminiscences about doing foreigners reminds me of my father going in as temporary manager for a now defunct large motor group at a garage in Derbyshire to try and turn it around as it wasn't as profitable as it should have been. He noticed that although there were very few cars...

    Slow charge port cover.

    For living in the 19C you want to try Brittany. The 19C is modern. Shops close for 2 hours at lunchtime and the only shop open on Sundays is the boulangerie for a couple of hours so the French can get their daily bread and the rush hour consists of 4 cars on the same stretch of road. If a bank...

    Stoneacre Derby - MG Dealer Discussion, Opinions & Experiences

    I got my MGS5 from them too although it took 2 visits as they had to get the colour I wanted from another branch. It only had a couple of miles on it as they had to register it in their name first before transferring it to me.

    VW ID BUZZ e Kombie

    There's a company in the UK doing just that with an option of a 75kWh battery and 300 bhp. https://www.electricclassiccars.co.uk/blogs/conversions/vw-camper?srsltid=AfmBOopKPOcbdU5Aa6ox3nTu7k6_wOBaxlsyrkz1WTNEIRkmCzWBRmp4

    Odd work practices

    I remember at school we used to have a "rough book" in which to write notes about homework and memory aids that didn't need to be written in the lesson book for that subject. When it was full you had to take it to the deputy heads office at 12 o'clock to get a replacement and he used to...

    Slow charge port cover.

    I used one on my MG4 for 2.5 years and now on the MGS5 and have never noticed any micro-scratches. Mind you I wash my cars regularly and I'm careful how I put it on and off.

    Preheat cabin

    A rough calculation somewhere on the MG4 forum shows that pre-heating the traction battery isn't worth it unless the journey is over 37 miles as the increased efficiency needs that distance to counteract the energy used. Normally in the UK, unless the temperature gets well below zero or you...

    Switched my MG5 for an MGS5

    As @Alb said 37psi all round when cold. Don't rely on the readings in the car on in the app but get a reliable tyre pressure gauge as the readings are only updated when the car is moving.

    Tailgate opening height

    Also check what the opening height option is on. On the infotainment screen tap the Car icon, select Convenience tab, scroll down to Tailgate opening height, select Low, Medium or High.

    DAB Radio

    I had a Ford Focus and that had good DAB reception too. Ford used a slightly different system by using all the heating elements in the rear window via a special box of tricks instead of using the bottom two elements.
