    Charging at 7.05kW

    I've noticed my S5 seems to charge slightly quicker than my MG4. I suspect it is more efficient at converting the AC to DC.

    Camera view at junction

    They are OK for reversing more or less in a straight line but be aware the sensors won't sound if reversing around a corner and there's an obstacle at the side of you. I nearly side swiped a shrub when reversing at an angle into a tight spot in the pub car park.

    Plain sill protectors

    Looks good on the red. I think I'm going to get a roll of clear car paint protector and cut it to size.

    4pcs Car Mud Flaps for MG S5 MGS5 EV ES34 2025~2027

    I know that feeling. A few years ago I lost my Garmin sat-nav and after spending a couple of months looking for it on and off and accusing my brother of borrowing it and not returning it, I bought another one. I then found the original on a pair of steps in the garage. To this day I don't know...

    myenergi Gridpay Auto Schedule

    Is anyone else using myenergi Gridpay Auto Schedule? I signed up for the beta programme a few months ago and when I opened the app to charge the car overnight this afternoon I found that I was signed up for it. You set how many kWs you want to charge and when you want it done by and they...

    I've now got a fridge with a hot water dispenser 🤣

    Police have confirmed that the man who fell from the eighteenth floor of a nightclub was not a bouncer. :eek:🤣

    MGS5 in the wild?

    I did point out that the local Specsavers were just up the road 🤣

    Granny/3 pin charger from Amazon

    Do what one of my neighbours did in the same situation of the car arriving before his home charger was installed. He knocked on my door and asked if I had a granny charger and could he borrow it? Luckily my MG4 had come with one and he returned it a few days later.

    MGS5 in the wild?

    Talk about a stealth car that's hard to notice.... My plumber came to service the boiler and asked how I was getting on with my MG4? When I pointed out I had changed it and it was now a grey MGS5 and not a red MG4 he said he hadn't noticed despite walking past it down the drive.

    Believe it or not if it's raining it makes a difference to the economy as it makes the air denser

    Intermittent problems with Android Auto

    Correct about using your phone's data. If you download the maps in the Google Maps app to your phone you won't be using any of your phone's mobile data apart from traffic updates. I turn the car's Bluetooth off to stop AA starting every time I get in the car and turn it back on again via the...

    MGS5 service plan information

    I had a 3 year service plan with my dealer for my MG4 and had a year left including an MOT when I part exchanged it for the MGS5. For a £20 admin fee the transferred the plan and just charged me for the difference.

    Dangerous Adaptive cruise control

    MG's customer service email address is [email protected] include the name and address of your dealer and the registration number of your car. Unlike @LenEV2016 experience when I contacted them about the amount of time it was taking to sort out the charging problem with my MG4 they...

    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.
