    Picking up a new MG S5 next week trophy LR

    Welcome to the forum. You need to plug it into the USB C inside the centre armrest.

    That give me goosebumps

    Welcome to the group. This has been discussed in this thread: https://www.mgevs.com/threads/sudden-acceleration-general-issues-split-from-mg4-specific-thread.17001/ Don't let sensationalist stories put you off by the anti-EV press. The same thing has been happening with automatic ICE vehicles...

    Sudden acceleration (general issues) (split from MG4-specific thread)

    The AA man was test driving a car he's unfamiliar with and it went forward when he allegedly put it into reverse. And the most telling line in the report. "The AA arranged a transporter to take it to a dealership and paid for the repairs, which cost £2,500." Why would the AA pay for repairs if...

    I wonder? (solar panels eventually a requirement?)

    I think there's more chance that all commercial buildings will be forced, as part of their planning requirements, will have to have solar panels that feed the grid and preexisting buildings to have them fitted retrospectively.

    Ooops

    You and me both. You also had a separate door and ignition key. I remember a lad at work abandoned his Mk1 Courtina blocking several cars in. I used the ignition key for my Marina to unlock his door and start the car before abandoning it in a more appropriate place.

    Radio resets to FM when turned on.

    You could email customer services at [email protected] They will probably say to report it to your dealer but at least you've tried and hopefully it will be reported back to the appropriate section.

    I'm just going outside for a while.

    I also have a 1797 cartwheel penny and tuppence. I found them when sorting out my father's stuff after he died.

    Sorry dad. I should've taken more care of it 😁

    I'm just going outside for a while.

    I've got a battered Henry VI (I think) silver groat which was hand struck at the Calais mint

    MGS5 - Underrated

    I agree with most of what you say but in the UK we don't have the option of a sunroof or beige interior. The handling is good for a SUV although a little choppy at slow speed on uneven road surfaces.

    Ooops

    I've got into the habit of looking for the double flash of the indicators when I walk away from the car and the mirrors folding back, but even then you only need something to distract you and you forget to either press the button on the door or the keyfob. Mind you in the days of a mechanical...

    Upcoming 2026 SUV MGS5 competitors worth waiting for

    My friend is a good example of the best EV is just about to be launched so I'll wait for that. He's got solar panels which produce more than he can use, house batteries and a Zappi charger, which he had installed nearly 3 years ago, and he's still not got an EV. Meanwhile in the same time...

    I'm just going outside for a while.

    You don't want to get goats and groats mixed up as groats cheese isn't pleasant. Mind you I'm not keen on goats cheese either 😁

    Four months in and things going wrong.

    I do the same as @RCK49 and @TimothyN especially when I'm on dual-carriage ways and motorways although if just driving around locally I tend to use the auto-speed limiter.

    MGS5 Rattles

    Someone on the MG4 forum recommended Gummi-pflege for treating all the rubber door and boot seals. It cleans and conditions the rubber as well as stopping the seals freezing in winter. I use it about twice a year including on the charging port door seal as well as spraying the hinges and the...

    Wireless phone charger (MGS5 EV)

    Your case wont be helping as it increases the distance between the charging coils also phones with protruding camera lenses don't help for the same reason.

    Forward Collision Warning into Sun

    From 2021 Tesla have stopped fitting forward radar and now rely on a camera based system.

    12V battery is low warning

    I got the NOCO BoostPlus which is probably overkill for an EV but has been useful for starting a very flat battery on an old diesel Fiesta a few times before a new battery was bought for it. I didn't get a dual purpose booster because if the battery has gone flat due to it not being recharged...

    MGS5 Comfort Mode Question

    I think I've read somewhere that the MGS5 doesn't make full power available unless it is in Sport mode.
