    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 cabine

    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.

    SatNav History.

    Do you mean the destination history? If I remember correctly you slide the destination to the left and the bin icon appears, tap that and it removes it.

    Anyone wash their car today? ?

    Put your coat on and nip out with a bucket of suds. The car's had a pre-wash and you won't need to rinse it off.

    The wheels are hard to clean!

    I used Bilt Hambar Touchless at 2% solution in a garden sprayer followed by a good jet wash at the weekend for the first time to wash the car including the wheels. They and the car came up great, although if I was going to dry the car afterwards I would still want to do a contact wash.

    Anyone wash their car today? ?

    I tried Bilt Hamber Touchless last weekend. Mixed up a 2% solution in the garden sprayer and just sprayed it over the car, left it for 5 minutes and used the pressure washer to wash it off. For a quick wash at this time of the year I was impressed how clean the car came up with so little...

    New car payment upfront without viewing

    With it being a new car they might be being over cautious and you might find it comes down again next year.

    Would you buy an MG5 with 7 MOTs before it was 3 years old?

    Definitely walk away. I wonder if it's got an ongoing problem and it's been in and out of the dealer who MOT's it to prove its road worthy after each attempted fix. If a dealer was selling it with 12 months MOT they wouldn't MOT it until the buyer has signed and paid for it.

    Vandalised chargers

    If they sited the chargers in well lit areas that could easily be seen and had CCTV there might be fewer stolen cables.
